MONTENEGRINS AND
SERBIANS BATTLE
PARIS, Jan. 17.?Bloody fighting,
with heavy losses on both sides, has
resulted from an attempt by Serbians
to forcibly abolish Montenegrin sov
?reignty, according to official dis
patches received here today by Mon
tenegrin representatives. Twenty
thousand Montenegrins are said to
have participated in an uprising
against the Serbs.
The report that King Nicholas Is
opposed to inclusion of Montenegro
In the proposed Jugo-Slav state is un
true, notwithstanding official Serbian
pretensions to the contrary, Monte
negrins here declare. The King, how
ever. demands that a constituent as
? ?embly shall decide the sovereignty
of the new state, rather than having
It automatically come under the Serb
ian dynasty.

Plans for a world cotton conference
were taken up here today in the hope
; of arriving at definite conclusions as
i to the future of the cotton business.
The meeting of the committee on ar
j rangements was proposed by the Na
tional Association of Cotton Manufac
turers and approved by the Master
Cotton Spinners in the hope that
drastic after-the-war conditions in
the market might be met. At today's
opening ?session the cotton men were
addressed by W. Frank Shove, presi
dent of the manufacturers.
Mr. Shove outlined the following a."
among the subjects which could prop
erly come before a world cotton con
ference:
"1. The buying and selling of cot
ton;
"2. The growing and handling of
cotton, with due consideration of the
best methods for Insuring long needed
improvements in ginning, compress
ing and the standardizing of bales;
? "3. The transportation of cotton,
with discussion of means to put an
end to country damages, and to
bring about better means for the
warehousing and financing of cotton. I
"4. Discussion of the world's con
sumption requirements of cotton with
careful thought for the possible need
of a system of apportionment among
the nations with which we enjoy
reciprocal trade relations;
"5. Means for increasing and Im
proving cotton production in the
United States and this country;
"6. Consideration of the machinery
needed for replacement and develop
ment of the textile industry, especial
ly in France and Belgium;
"7. The part the United States, as
a creditor nation, ia to play in world
readjustment, with regard to the
needs and the future of the textile
industry;
"S. Discussion of the International
standardization of the hours of labor
in the textile and other Industries."
Appointment of a committee on
foreign representation, to be com
posed of not less than nine members
and not more than Ave, to visit Great
Britain and other European countries
to Invite participation of textile asso
ciations in the proposed World Cotton
Conference, was recommended at the
meeting. This committee would also
report back to the conference how
and In what manner the United StateS
can best contribute to the reconstruc
tion and re-equipment of textile cen
ters of Europe destroyed by the Ger
man armies.

DISCHARGED MEN
WANT NEW JOBS:
CAMP MEADE, M?S.. Jan. 17.?As I
many as 50 per cent some days and
often as many as 80 per cent of men ;
being discharged here are turning to '
the United States Labor Bureau for
employment in preference to going
back to the old boss and asking for
the job.
In order that every man here may \
be informed as to the labor demands,
all are marched through the bureau's
building before getting a final dis
charge. There the pay and induce
ments are explained. The bureau,
through its branches in Baltimore and
elsewhere has reports as to labor
wanted and gives to men who are in
terested directions as to places to go
for prompU-employment. The bureau
is rendering a real and important
service in connection with the read
justment of industry and labor.
Now that the soldiers are turning
to this agency, the only suggestion
anybody can make is that employers
be prompt in informing the bureau
as to labor needs.
STRACCIARI SINGS FOR
NEW COLUMBIA RECORDS
Riccardo Stracclari, the gifted bari
?one of the Metropolitan Opera Com
pany, is a contributor to the list of
records which the Columbia Grapho
phone Company has placed on the
Washington market. That popular
war song, eevn though it was writ
ten years before the war, "The Long,
Long Trail," is sung by Stracciari in
Inimitable manner for the Columbia
people. A quartet comes in with har
mony in the chorus.
"Ain't Got Weary Yet" is the name
of another of those war sopgs which
combine comedy with pathos, and
which the Columbia company offers
this month. Arthur Fields and the
Peerless Quartet sing this number.
Another Columbia release for Janu
ary is "Would You Rather Be a
Colonel With an Eagle on Your
Shoulder or a Private With a Chicken
on Your Knee?"
"My Baby Boy," a medley one-step
by Prince's Band, with a foxtrot on
the reverse side, completes the list of
January Columbia releases.

the Body.
If you are thin and want to be
plump; if you have! wrinkles in your
face that you are not proud of: if the
skin is sallow or subject to pimples
or blackheads, take Mi-o-na stomach
tablets for two weeks and notice the
change.
The majority of the thin people are
thin because the stomach does not
perform its duties properly. !t is not
secreting sufficient of the natural di
gestive juices and in consequence dues
not extract from the food enough nu
tritive matter to nourish every part
of the body. When the stomach does
not do its work properly the nourish
ment in the food you eat is not ex
tracted and passes through the body
without leaving any flesh building
elements.
Mi-o-na stomach tablets are intend
ed to build up the stomach bo that it
will act properly and extract from the
food all elements necessary to form
good, solid flesh.
If you are thin try two weeks' treat
ment of Mi-o-na stomach tablets ?
they are small, easily swallowed and
have made many friends by their
proven value.
Mi-o-na stomach tablets are sold on
the guarantee of money back if they
do not overcome indigestion, acute or
chronic, stop stomach disturbance,
belching, heartburn, sour stomach,
and any after dinner distress.

Of Holland again finds her throne
mcn&ced by a revolution, accord

Radicals are reported to have
planned the launching of a revo
lutionary movement on January
20 designed to overthrow the
monarchy in Holland and estab
lish a Socialistic government. A
large fund for this purpose is said
to have been obtained from the
Russian Bolslicviki.
Have you a phonograph and rec
ords in your home that can bo spared
to help entertain the 2.000 nhell
shocked soldiers and sailor3 at St.
Elizabeth's Hospital?
If so, send them to Mrs. I.,. H.
Meyers, of S214 Wisconsin avenue
northwest, who is in charge of a
movement among welfare women
to furnish an adequate supply of
phonographs and records for the St.
Elizabeth patients.
Mrs. Meyers said today that music
has been found most helpful in sooth
ing the nerves of the men who are
victims of shell shock.
At present, one overworked phono
graph is grinding ou: songs for the
St. Elizabeth patients, but others are
badly needed, and the Washington
public is called upon to donate them.
Only a small percentage of the
2 000 fighting men undergoing treat
ment at the hospital are permitted to
leave the institution for recreation,
and this makes the task of entertain
ing them doubly hard, according to
welfare workers.
