PARIS, March 111'. A column of
Trench troops, with white officers, was
virtually annihilated by Arabs while
operating in the Adegar region of
western Sahara a few days ago, ac
cording to a report given out tolay by
the war department.
A column of a thousand intractable
followers of Awellimid of the Berber
tribe swooped down upon and sur
rounded the French detachment which
was marching through the shifting
sand of the desert about three days'
journey from the Timbuktu French
military station.
Severe fighting lasted all day, the
1'icihIi troops being finally overcome.
Lieut. Martin, in command of the de

which lias been delivered in this coun

Relations Between Austria and Montc

Loudon. March 22. The relations of
Austria and Montenegro have become
acute, even to the point of breaking,
as a result of the curt reply of King
Nicholas of Montenegro, to Austria's
note concerning Scutari, iu which he
expresses regret for any injury done
the civil population of Scutari, but re
fuses to concede Vienna's demand that
civilians be allowed to leave the be
sieged city or to permit an Austrian
official to participate in the inquiry
into the alleged murder of the priest
Palie, the forcible conversion of Cath
olics and the interference with the
Austrian steamer Skodra. .
Austria already has decided to send
Montenegro a more urgent note, which

Mrs. Martha Peltier called The Re

The Reformer. Thus the situation grow

She first asked where the paper ob

informed that it had been obtained
from a copy of the papers on file at the
office of the town clerk, said:
"I did not know that there were any

"Did you not authorize anyone to

Mrs. Peltier was then asked if sh-
