The latest exposure is the tradition that rain follows a big Battle. Popular notion is that Cann Nading starts a downpour. That a sometimes tried to produce rain artificially during a drouth. The weather Bureau in Washington d. C., admits that rain often follows a Battle in the Ordinary course of events just As it often follows a dog fight a baseball game or a Bridge party but that s just Chance and the rain would have come Battle or no Battle. How did people first get the notion that rain followed Battles probably because troop movements preceding a Battle Are Best car red out during fair weather a dry spell. And the dry spell naturally Pomes before a rain. Of f one might just As Well reason National conditions have changed. Tile Legal murder of Montenegro Bruno Roselli in the Outlook.

Its master the Quot kingdom of the serbs croats and slovenes Jugo slavic has not even Given Montenegro the honer of a place in its Long official name while the former capital City of cent Onje or Cettin was simply annexed to Cattaro in the department of Southern Dalmatia. And it was not some obscure Post Bellum propagandist it was lord Gladstone who exclaimed in the House of lords on March la 1920 Quot what worse could have befallen Montenegro of instead of being our ally from Tho very first it had fought against us in the enemy Camp a but his Vole like the voice of so Many other lovers of Liberty who spoke against the Allied treason of Montenegro.

These movements represent the dissipation or using up of a great amount of Energy in the form of heat. This heat comes from the Sun. The Moon is a cold dead planet and sends no heat to us.

If those paths converging from the fastnesses of Czer Nagora upon the miserable american Harbor of san Giovanni i Media could speak what stories of horror could they not Tell. It is said that at that time a High montenegrin official seeing no Hope anywhere made useless overtures for a separate peace with Austria. At least with Suc h Inist fable charges the whole montenegrin Taco is now being blackmailed into silence and slavery. At any rate they did not betray and lost 46 per cent of their fighting men. The entire Royal family repaired to France Montenegro was put under austrian military Rule the remnants of her army were gathered at Salonika under French command. It was then that the split Between serbs and montenegrin having become More acute France took openly the part of the former. And the montenegrin veterans were Given the Choice of fighting under the serbian Flag or being exiled to North Africa us prisoners of War. Meanwhile the King of Montenegro and his court were kept More As prisoners than is guests in Bordeaux. Again and again they begged to leave. On november 24. 1912, m. Poincare. President of France wrote to King Nicholas Quot the French troops called upon to occupy provisionally the territory of your kingdom will apply themselves to maintaining order it appears preferable that your majesty should postpone the return to your kingdom. The presence of the Allied troops will contribute to hasten this moment which your majesty so ardently desires. As soon As it arrives the government of the Republic will be Happy your majesty to facilitate your return but thie language was Only atrocious irony. Ten Days before on november 14, the serbs who had been put in Complete control by the French had gathered in the Little Village of Pogo Rutza 163 people mostly without official authority and made this pseudo a Quot National Assembly commit National suicide abolishing the montenegrin Constitution and bringing about annexation to Serbia pure and simple any autonomous local rights. King Nicholas and Queen Milena died shortly after in exile. The montenegrin Quot prisoners of War were returned to the Gallows or Jugo slav jails. And Italy which had Long tried to keep the montenegrin question diplomatically open finally gave Way. And Tho truth must be told was made to obtain terms less humiliating from Jugo s la via in the Quot bitter Adriatic by count enhancing in 1921, and by approving in 1922, the Legal murder of Montenegro.
