BERLIN, Jan. 24.-Scutari has been
occupied by _Austrrrliungarian troops, as announced to-day by Aus- tro Hungarian Headquarters. Several thousand Serbians who formed the gar- rison retlred to the south without offer- lng_»any resistance. The text ol' the statement followsz-
“Scutarl has been occupied by Aus-
tro-ilungarian troops. Several thou- sand Serbs who formed the garrison retired towards the south without' offe- ring any resistance. Austro-Huugarians also have occupied Nlksic, Baolovgrad and Podgorltza, disarming the country which has been carried on to dats without friction. At several places the Montenegrins did not even wait until the Austrodiungarians appeared but laid down their arms before the arrival of the troops in order to return to their homes. in other places a majority oi' those disarmed prefer internment to being sent home. The population gen- erally has received our troops in friendly fashion and lil some instances with ceremony. Riots, such as occured at Pedgoritz, ceased as soon an the first Austro Hungaria detachment a
trict. of Lavarone and on Rombon Slope were repulsed."
Scutari was occupied by the Mon-
tenegrlns in Juno 1915. lt is the most important trading post in Albania and has a population of 20,000.

During an interval in the programme
Mr D. Edgar Shaw, President of the Caledoniun Society, thanked the ladies and gentlemen. present for their atten- dance and explained that although the Society was not n money making ln- stitutlon the demands upon it this season for charitable purposes had been unusually heavy. The Poor Committee had paid out more than the revenue of the Society, but the funds accruing from the concert would, it was hoped, enable them to do still more for the poor. He paid a fitting tribute to the memory of the great Scottish bard who. poor himself- and sharing the sorrows of the poor. should most appropriately be com- memorated in helping the poor. and those who contributed to this concert would have the satisfaction of know- ing that the proceeds were in aid of the poor.

OTTAVVA. Jan. 24.-lion. J. Il.
Hazen made an important contribu- tion to the debate on the address to- day lli :i three hours' speecli whit-h was followed with the closest. lnif-rest and punctuated by frequent Govern- ment cheers.
Mr Hazen presented to the House
an official _review ol' the action which has been taken by thc Government since the outbreak of the war to secure adequate transportation facili- ties on the Atlantic route for (jnnndluli products. This stat(-_ml-nl. showed that from tho vcry first thc Goverliulelit has been alive to the situation and through its efforts the products of Canadian nlailufacturers, agricultur- lsts, lumbcrmen and mint-rs have been moving across tho Atlantic willl rapidity' considering thc general dis- turbance of trade r-onditloiis owing to the war and the seizllrc of liiindreds of ships for Admiralty purposes hy the British Government. Mr Hazen pnini- ed out that ilo less than 1,500 stcnniers had been requisitioncd by Great liri- tai,n for war purposes. They luul carried no less than 250,000 mr-ii, 800,000 horses and mules and li vast quantity of war munitions and sup- plies. Considering all the circum- stances and the extent of the military operations, Canadians instead of colli- plaining ns to ocean tonnage should consider themselves fortunate in sc- curlllg the facilities they llad. lie emphasized that the ocean rates from Canada, although high, were equally high from the United States. The rntes from Australia and Argentina were much lilghcr. During thc past year. through the efforts of the (lov- ernmont, 23 ships had bl-en rclcinzoll for thc Atlaiilic service, besides three German prlzc ships :ind five sailing vessels.
l\lr lluzcn showed limi in the fnll
of 1014 the (ioveriinleilt look active steps io uleet the situation. Thr- Govcrnment appointed then an acting director of overseas transport, a ilian of long experience with one of the large transportation companies. “ Un- der the direction of the Government," said Mr llazen, "this oillcinl entered into negotiations for ii. charter oi' suit- able vessels and by ant.lcipatiiig char- ter conditlons and securing vessels in many instances considerably in ad- vance oi` the requiremclits, the Gov» ernment was able to move war material, munitions and supplies at rates approximating tliose prevnlr‘lli
