CIVIL POPULATION OF MONTENEGRO JS FACING STARVATION Little Kingdom's Third of a MUon Ilave No. Means. of Getting Food Into . Country Have , Lacked Flour . and Other Things for Months By Hnry Wood (United Press Staff . Correspondent) Cettinje,.. Montenegro, May 17, (by mail to New York.) Unless immed iate aid is extended ,by the United States or some other neutral power, the entire civil population of Monte negro, comprising 350,000 people will face extinction by' starvation. The little Kingdom is cut off from the outside world except by meagre and uncertain means of communica tion. For four months it has beeq without flour and other food essentials. ; Meat from ' sheep, cattle .and wild dear Is practically the only food now left anr it is becoming a question of time when the meat supply must be exhausted. Coffee and sugar are lux uries not even to be hoped for. t Until two weeks ago, the govern ment , had succeeded, in smuggling in small .quantities of flour. , This was made up into bread and , a small chunk given to each inhabitant once every four days. But the refusal of Greece and other neighboring coun tries to permit further exportation of flour has cut off this supply. So re duced is the entire population that King Nicholas and members of the Royal family are living on peasant's fare. , , , ' ' Serbia ia trying to save Monte negro from starvation. - Ten . thous and Austrian prisoners have been put at work by the Serbian authorities, constructing: a roadway across the al most impassable mountain .that sep arates the two little kingdoms. There are still in ore . than 35 miles to be built before even- an ox cart of sup plies can be brought into Montenegro. Even when this line of communica tion is opened Serbia admits she her self has little she can spare her sis ter state. ' . .' ' .

The organiza tion, unheard . of here befpre ; this chautauqua. left a .reputation behind it The program was of just as high an order as that proented by Victor, of national renown, here last sum mer. f ' Most of the numbers were from the classics, but there was a great deal of novelty stuff worked into the bill that pleased ,the less exacting element of the audience immensely. Miss But ler, a cornetist, rendered a solo in double and .triple t tonguing 1 which must have required long practice. The director and his brother,' the first cornet 'with tho band, performed a cornet duet-that would have v made even Clark and Church "watch their 's and q's to execute properly.: Tho descriptive "Hunting Song" .was clev er. It required the Introduction of a comedian. , The reed men, invariably gly, furnished one of their number for the fun .stuff.' A. patriotic med ley, "Great American," had all . the earmarks of excellence in the rendi tion that most any aggregation of 20 musicians could put into it The march from "The Barber of Seville," one of the first numbers, was played with- a snap and vim that enthused the audiences. The exquisite .finale from f William Tell," put the ensem ble on Its merit, and sustained it. Of course, the "Miserere" and the Sextette from Lucia" were rendered. Verdi himself would have been pleas ed with the former, in which the solo ist Colangelo must have been inspired by the words of the master compose tion as he played. .Two cornet3 and baritone and trombone made the se lection from Lucia - literally hum, with the band accompanying. 5 Miss Hazel Bentley, soprano solo ist with the band, appeared twice, the last time to the accompaniment of seven stringed . instruments guitars, mandolins and banjos. She sung simple little sonjs, like "The Last ITALIANS REDUCED MOTHER OF FORTS AROUND LIALOOIET Hensel 'Demolished By Cad- ornas.Guns, Is Report , to Rome ' TRIESTE WQX GUARDED Austrians Have Two Hun- .dred Thousand Men and Considerable Artillery In Front of , Seaport, Say Refugees , (By tha.

The. typical Kinston audience did it- : self proud by Miss Bentley and gave ' her so much applause that if she could realize how many entertainers have been squelched by lack of appre ciation here, she .would go away from the city in high spirits. The ; band was, good, but Miss Bentley was su perlative. , , Good to look at and to listen to as well, This afternoon at Chautauqua Mrs. Yarnall, the superintendent made the usual series lecture, with the Boston Oratorio Artists rendering a high class program. -Tonight the singers will present a program ' from ' the gTeat oratorios, and Montaville Flow ers, famous lecturer, will deliver his discourse on "Rebuilding the Temple."
