STATE DIVIDED ("action or' Deposed King Nicholas Seeks to Block Tnlon With -i Larger Neighbor. 1XDNDON'. Aug. !8. Fighting has broken out everywhere in Montenegro and the whole country U in a stale of revolution, according to news received here. The Serbians are using strong measures in an attempt to suppress the uprising. "We seem to be in for a recrudes e-ence of the Balkan trouble." was t atatement made to the Associated Press today from an authoritative source. The Monteaerrins have cut the rail ; between Virpaiar and Antivari on the coast. The Serbians are receiving reinforce xnents. but are not meeting with suc cess in their efforts to put down the revolutionary movement, according to advices. The uprising in Montenegro seems likelv to brinar to a head tne long smoldering differences between the "Uam An.0-pln KinTuirlarm nf former Win. Nicholas and the faction adhering to tne plan tor tne incorporation ot iun tenegro in the Jugo-Slav state. King Nicholas has never recognized the validity of the act of the Montenegrin assembly last winter in deposing mm. Serbia is insistent upon the adhesion of Montenegro to Jugo-Siavia and claims that a majority of the Monte negrin favor the union. The conten tion of the nationalist party In Monte negro, however, is that the Montenegrin national assembly has been "packed" with pro-Serbians, making the action of that body tn voting last April for adhesion to the Jugo-Slav state not truly representative of Montenegrin pinion. 30,000 CHRISTIANS SUM XERRIBLK STORY OF MARTYR DOM IX PERSIA TOLD. . Thousands Cat Orf and Massacred by Turks; Children Hacked to Pieces; Women Carried Off. (Copyright br th. Nw York World. Pub lished by srrmnirffnrnl. ) LONDON". Aug. 28. (Special Cable.) . A terrible story of the martyrdom of Christians in northwest Persia is told in the Paily News by one of their number. Dr. Tonan. Soon after the war began. Dr. Tonan says, the Russians came to Vrumia. in the province of Azerbaijan, and induced the Christians from a Syrian battalion to fight against the Turks. There was a battle In Urumla in February. 191s. in which the Christiana were victorious. After this the heroic but small Christian force fought 14 battles with the Turks and Persians and routed their enemies. But nd help came from the allies, and the defeat of the Ar menians cut off the Christians from the Syrians. By the end of July. 1918. their ammunition was exhausted and the Turks were at the gates of Urumia. Tha Christians who dwelt on Sal mas. a fertile plain on the north aide of Lake Vrumia. had been massacred, and flight was the only course left to those of Crumia. So 75.000 men. women and children left their homes in a vast procession, taking with them such property as they could collect hurriedly. Those who could not escape sought refuge In the American and French missions. Here terrible scenes were enacted. Monsig nor Sontag. head of the French mission, died a martyrs death and his brethren in religion were also murdered. Children were laid on the pages of open Bibles and missals .and hacked to pieces. Meanwhile the fugitives were attacked by the enemy at four places and thousands were cut off and massacred. Children were snatched from their mothers and dashed to the ground. Hundreds of women were car ried away to Mussulman harems. In all 30.000 were killed, lost or captured. HANSON WOULD BAR I. W. W. frr.ntlnu1 From flrt PKe Had 1 not decided to resign I should have had to leave Councilman V. D. 1-ane as acting mayor. I would as soon have taken a man from the penitentiary and left him In the mayor's chair. The only course left open to me was to re sign and let the council elect a new mayor." ' Hanson hastened to his private of fice, where he gave the first official announcement nf his resignation and plana for the future. "By leaving Mr. Fltxgerald In the office as mayor. I shall have fulfilled my duty to the city." he declared. "My work here is done. The Skagit project is safe. The city street-car system is safe. The business of the city is in the best condition It has ever been. - "Long ago. after my trip east and my breakdown. I realised that I must have a rest. 1 couldn't take a vacation with out leaving Lane as acting mayor. Use la Uerlarral I a fit. - - -Lane is a man who I know full well Is unfit for the office. I have no con fidence In his citizenship or his patriot ism. By resigning 1 could open the way for the council to elect a loyal and patriotic citizen to fill out my term. I leave with the knowledge that I have carried out every pledge in my plat form." Fttzaerald announced that his first offllcal act as mayor would be to learn the duties of the office. Whether he would make any changes in the per aonnel of bis staff he did not say. . Finance Secretary Drake, slated to take Fitzgerald's place' as councilman, said he bad first learned of Mayor Hanson's programme when on July 2 he was asked If he would accept the council position and ha replied that he would- Mayor Hanson, in resigning his of fice as Seattle's chief executive, to dar Issued the following statement: -To the people of the city of Seattle: "I have this day resigned from the office of mayor of the city of Seattle for the following reasons: "When I became mayor I did so for the purpose of serving the people of this community during the war. and. aa I atated in my platform, to give a square deal to labor aa well aa capital and bring about a loyal, united Se ittUe a Seattle free from turmoil, treason and I. W. W. control.' I stood for construction and not destruction, and have carried out to the letter the promises made when elected. jly physician Informs me that al though I have no organic trouble. I am in need of a complete rest. If I con tinue In office and take a vacation Councilman Lane as president of the city council would become mayor.- mis ' action In attending the Wells-Sadler banquet given in honor of these two ' convicted seditionists while awaiting transportation to the federal prison makes such a course impossible, and if I were to permit his again becoming mayor, as a result of such action I would feel that I was false to my oath. I have, therefore, taken the only course open which conforms with my trust and have resigned, which course makes it the duty of the city council to elect another mayor. "I am sure they will elect a patriotic and loyal supporter of our government in my stead, aa well aa one who will work for the success of our municipal undertakings. "Seattle was never more united than ', it is today and no city in the land is freer from I. W. W. controV Operation of Can Success. "For years before I became mayor there had been a continuous struggle between the people and the Puget Sound Traction. Light Power com pany. Under stress of the war. the city of Seattle purchased its street car lines and proceeded to operate them for public service, rive months operation has demonstrated that we can operate the car lines more efficiently and economically than the private company, and at the same time pay better wages to the workers and give better serv Ice to the people. "Despite the opposition of Council' men Lane and Erickson, who had pre' viously claimed to be municipal owner ship advocates, we have successfully established and operated our municipal utilities. "The constant and continued op position of these two councllmen, di rected as it has been, not only against the successful operation of our atreet car lines, but against the construction of hydro plants on the Skagit, has been unavailing. They have simply demon strated that their only use for muni cipal ownership was for election pur poses. Covaellmea Are Tbaaked. "I desire at this time to thank Coun cllmen Fitzgerald, Thomson. Carroll, Haas and Hasketh for their loyalty to the interests of our great city. "I also desire to thank the heads of the departments who have shown by their work that working for the city means something more than simply holding down a Job and drawing pay. "Last, but not least. I desire to ex press my personal thanka for the un wavering support and assistance ten dered me by the great majority of the people of this community and ask that the same loyalty and support be given my successor.
