Montenegro.

New York Times 100 years ago today, May 3, 1913:
    The present attitude of the Czar of Montenegro — the monarch of the Black Mountain is tenacious as to his exact title and its etymologic connection with the original Caesars — seems to be acting on the principle of "one price only, but will dicker a little." On the other hand, the Government of Austria-Hungary, which a few days ago was emitting semi-official ultimata, appears to have imbibed something of the same spirit. It is now practically certain that the accord of the Powers will not be seriously disturbed,, and though this whole Balkan situation has all along been strangely obscured by the untrustworthiness, not to say the mendacity, of many of the official and half-official announcements connected with it, the prospects of a peaceful adjustment are brighter than they were last week.
    For this encouraging aspect of the situation much credit is due to the general moderation of the Russian Government, to the quiet influence of Sir Edward Grey, and to the cooperation of the German Emperor. The last named monarch has been much hampered by the intimate obligations Germany has assumed toward Austria, but there can be little doubt that his influence with that Power has been on the whole restraining. He is himself not without experience and skill in the art of carrying menaces as far as may be without bringing on conflict, and it may be assumed that he has guided the statesmen of Austria in the same direction. It is a reasonable surmise that the Kaiser will try to mark the conclusion of a quarter of a century of his reign by the adjustment, or the assurance of adjustment, of the situation in Europe.
