[Footnote 98: In contrast with this attitude that was adopted at Nikita's command one must mention the transactions of a Podgorica merchant, M. Burič, and his partners, who sold 150,000 kilos of grain to the retreating army at cost price, that is, at one dinar per kilo when they could have obtained five. Two million kilos of hay they sold at 8 paras per kilo instead of at 50 or more. There were at this time only 20 tons of flour in all Montenegro. Undoubtedly the refusal of Burič and his friends to profit from the distress of their brother Serbs was much more typical of the Montenegrins than the conduct which Nikita drew forth from the weak side of their character.] [Footnote 99: Cf. an article in the _Gazette de Lausanne_, November 29, 1917, by Danilo Gatalo, a former Montenegrin Minister of War.] [Footnote 100: Cf. p. 204.] [Footnote 101: _Ex-King Nicholas and his Court_ (Collection of eighteen original documents in facsimile). Sarajevo, 1919.] [Footnote 102: These almost incredible facts are vouched for by Dr. Sekula Drljević, ex-Minister of Justice and Finance, who was one of the internees at Karlstein.] [Footnote 103: _The Black Sheep of the Balkans._ London, 1920.] [Footnote 104: In 1919 this very popular physician became Minister of Public Health in a Coalition Cabinet, and in 1920 he became Minister of Posts and Telegraphs.] [Footnote 105: A couple of months before the triumph of the Yugoslav idea one of these priests, Dr. Alexius Ušeničnik, Professor of Theology, published at Ljubljana a little book packed with ancient and modern quotations from Latin and French, Italian and German sources. He called it _Um die Yugoslavija; Eine Apologie_; and in the strongest terms he combated the reproach that the Slovene bishop, the clergy and the people were not loyal to the Habsburgs. Dr. Ušeničnik proved that the poor Slovenes were suffering an almost intolerable subjection at the hands of the Germans, but he persisted in demanding nothing more than freedom within the Habsburg Monarchy. "The Monarchy," said our unhappy author, "is in the midst of its development." And this priest, who was so deaf to the grand Yugoslav idea, quoted with approval the words of Gustave le Bon: "Ideas take a long time in possessing the people's soul."] END OF VOLUME I.
