CAPTURE OF SCUTARI
BELIE_V^D_INEVITABLE
American Business Man. Lately
in Cettinje, Tells of Pl?n
of Campaign.
London, Oet 21 ?a promlnent
Am. rli an ' ualnesa maa and former
government offlelal who hap Just re
turned from Cettinje glrea Fome <m
portant information regardlng the
pudden ncffressivf tartirs of Monte
negro In the presenl war. In an Inter
j \iew to-day he said:
"The pian of war dlacloaed to me b! ,
j Kinp NlCholaa has IhUB far been in
vartably Buccesaful. The capture of
Bcutarl within b fortnlght 18 toarl
table. The Montenegrlna know 'he
country as well as their own moun
talnaidea and atand ln no danger of
havlng their communlcationa cut.
"Although the Montenegrlna had
been planning the war for three years
the outbroak was prematura?no! a dc
llberate part of tha pian of the Balkan
league. Tha Montenegrlna were con
cantratad on the bordar. Each aoldler
had three days' rutions. Af the end of
that time even King Nlcholas was
poweriess to hold them in tba laaSB.
"The Montenegrin soldkrs are well
nrmed and equipped. They are aplen?
dld ilghtora. The only fjuestion ls
how wel! they can stand dlsclpllne,
havlnjr heen accustomed only to guer
illa warfare.
"On leavlng Cettinje I visited the
northorn dlvision of the Montenegrin
army, whose general told me that he
expe, ted to form a Junctlon with a
Servian eolumn. The comblned armles
would then prooeed to tlpht IbetT way
through Ma4-e<l<>nia and form a Junc?
tlon wlth the Greeks between I'skub
and Monastlr. They axpected b] thi
movernent to hold large bodiea of
Turkish tropa from going to the relief
of Adrianople. where a big battle ls
planned.
"I found even' I viden'c that the Ril
kati leaguo was working ln perfect
harmony, but the Ifontenegrln and
Servian offlclals, bellevlng that the
powers will permlt only one or two Im
portant battles bafora they lntervene,
aro already flgurlng on a convention
slmllar to that at Berlln. Balkan dlp
lomats have oonfeeaed that the ar
rangement tif pea? e l,etween Italy and
Turkey was sucb a hlow to their plans
that, had the note of tbe powers been
presented a week before the oOtaCaal*
tration on the Montenegrin border. w ir
very llkely would have heen averted.
"The Balkan leagiie, which BUrpTlaea
even Its foundere by its solldarity, was
formed fo secretly that no European
diplornat had an inklltiK of its pur?
pose."
