KING NICK'S f,!E!l
PLOT REVOLUTION
Want Hin I U-turned to Throne of
Montenegro, Bat Entrance of
Yanks Cool Their Ardor
Xiksiob, Montenegro, June 17".
This town and the bills about here
are full of revolutionists who are
scheming to put King Nicholas 'back
on tbe throne of Montenegro. The
royalists and nationalists of Monte
negro do not take kindly to the idea
of their little country's lnclusionein
the Jugo-Slav state.
The American doughboys who are
bringing American food Into Monte
negro for the food mission and the
American Red Cross Balkan commis
sion are well .liked and trusted by
the Montenegrins who suspect the
motives of the troops of other na
tions in the country.
The 'Montenegrin, however, Js
much like tbe Kentucky mountain
eer of old. He dislikes intrusion of
any sort and shots (have been fired
at numerous power stations which
operate the caftle tramway by which
the American food la swung through
the air from Cattaro to Cettinje.
The instinct of tbe Montenegrins to
preserve their aloofness from the
world dies hard.
(Hitherto American flour brought
In by the food mission and the Red
Cross bad to be laboriously carried
over the Loochen road in oxcarts
Recently, however, tbe Americans
put tbe Hne from Cattaro op to the
top of the first pass in good order
so that it is now nsed by (he lied
Cross for the transport of Hs goods
over the first and worst stage of tbe
Journey.
" Cettinje recently was tbe scene of
a revolution to put Nicholas back on
the throne and thereby prevent Mon
tenegro from becoming part of tbe
Jugo-Slav atote. It was a tfoHnre
because some of Uncle Sam's dough
boys "marched up from Cattaro and
neither side cared to tackle tbe Am
ertcans.
The- revolutionary force of 240
men and their women laid down
their arms aid were put to work by
the American 'Red Cross.
San Francisco, June 16. Tbe red

left sleeve between elbow and shoul

clothes, is the badge of a hero's
duty done."" It Is tbe official em
blem of honorable discharge from
the United States army. It also is
the mark of another great Wlitary
mlrlcle o' the United States, the
conversion from military life back
to civilian life of 3,000,000 men.
