Petrograd, Jan, 24. brilliant raid has been carried out by some Lettish volunteers on the Libau-Romay railway. They crawled up to the line in broad daylight, killed the German sentry and cut ten yards of the line. Then a Lett, dressed in the sentry's cloak, gave "Line clear" to an approaching troop train, which was smashed up, hundreds of men being killed.
Salohike, Jan. 24.
A telegram from Petrograd says that Colonel Lopovatz of the Montenegrin army declares. that only 5,800 Montenegrin troops. with ten old guns and little ammunition occupied Mount Lovehen. Montenegro did not receive help from any quarter. Antivari was open to bombardment by the Austrian fleet and the transporta laden with provisions were sunk. Six Austrian battleships bombarded Mount Lovchen.
The Montenegrins could not wait for help any longer as one-eighth of the civil population had died of famine and they had only twenty-three field guns and thirty rounds apiece, while their rifles were out of repair and there was only a small supply of cartridges, The men's boots and clothes were worn out while the men themselves were without food and only 18,000 fighting men were left. Colonial Lopovatz cond'uded: "Whatever happens we shall be at them again in the Spring."
