!HERTLING ACCEPTS CHANCELLORSHIP. IS
 BERLIN REPORT

Amsterdam, November f.--According to dispatches received here from Ber- lin. the Cologne Gazette says Emperor William received Count von Hertling this afternoon and that Won Hertling accepted the imperial chancellorship and the office of premier of Prussia. Dr. Karl Helfferich, secretary of the interior and vice chancellor, and Herr Von Waldow, president of the German food regulation board, have resigned. Friedrich von Payer, progressive mem Der of the Reichstag says the dispatch, Is to be appointed vice chancellor, and Herr Friedberg, leader of the national liberal party, will be given the post of vice president of the Prussian min- istry. The Cologne Gazette says the resignation of Vice Admiral Won Ca belle as minister of the navy has not been accepted.
 Copenhagen. November 1.-The DO. litical crisis in Germany, so far as is shown by any word which has reached here from Berlin, Is still open and Count Von Hertling has not de- cided whether to accept the chancel lorship. His decision apparently Is de- pendent on the settlement of certain difficulties connected with the office of president of the Prussian ministry. According to the Catholic organ. Ger mania, which presumably is in the counts confidence, he made 1t a con dtion of his acceptance that the chan cellorship and the head of the Prus- sian ministry should not be separated.
 Some Berlin newspapers are so cer- tain that Won Hertling will not accept that they are busying themselves with the next step in the crisis. The Tage blatt mentions for the chancellorship the venerable Count Von Posadowski- Wehner, former minister of the in- terior and now an independent mem Der of the Reichstag. Aside from his prestige as a former minister, he ap parently has little to recommend him. His career in the Rsichstag has been without influence. speech which he delivered recently showed him to be without positive ideas in regard to foreign or domestic questions.

BRITISH STEAMSHIP
 EAST WALES SUNK
 BY SUBMARINE
Passenger Arriving at At lantic Port Tells of Loss of Big Vessel on
 October IA

An Atlantic Port, November IA German submarine torpedoed and sank the British steamship East Wales of 4s21 tons gross off Queenstown, Qcto- Der 14, according to survivor who arrived here today. One of two U-boats which took part in the attack shelled the open lifeboats and four of the crew perished and five others were wounded.
 The survivor, a passenger on Brit ish steamship, is George ". Finnegan Of Baltimore. from which port the East Wales sailed for England with mules and steel The vessel had discharged its cargo at Southampton and was on her way to Queenstown when, at s:so a. rri., a submarine, believed to be one which had been observed the night before sinking a freighter, approached unex- pectediy.
 On the East Wales were Bf men. The U-boat's third shell carried away the wireless and wounded the operator. Steering gear and bridge were de- stroyed and the craw then took to small boats. A second submarine joined in the shelling, and a shot decapitated one man in a small boat, killed two others and wounded four. British patrol ves- sells hove in sight and the East Wales was sent to the bottom with two tor pedoes before the submarines fled, es- caping British projectiles. The steward of the East Wales had refused to leave the freighter and went down with 1t.

URGES GREATEST ENCONOMY
 IN COAL AND FOOD

He pointed out that while Great Brit. ain has plenty of coal for victory, Italy and France have not, and 1t was es- sential that there should be the great est possible economy in food and in all imports in order that tonnage should be saved so that it may be diverted to other vital needs of the alliance. He declared:
 We must lay our plans for a long war. I see no signs of 1t being a short ono and all by their economy can help the navies of the allies de- feat the submarine
 Sir Eric urged Britons to do their utmost, as there were greater calls upon the shipping world.
 The huge army of the United states he said, lis preparing and has to be transported and maintained, The French, Italian and other allies require seaboard help. That help can only be given if the nation is prepared strict ly and vigorously to curtail it's needs, develop homo resources and conserve it's present potential maritime strength"
 It had been asked whether Great Britain was building merchant ton- mage at a sufficient rate Co replace the sinkings. The answer, he declared, had been given negatively, but 1t was unsound and inconclusive to take any one factor of output as against losses to be vital indication of Great Brit aims situation. Britain, he said, now was equipped on scale never dreamed of before

.GASTON B. MEANS
 MUST STAND TRIAL . .ON MURDER CHARGE

Concord, N C., November l.-Argu- ment on the states motion for change of venue In the trial of Gaston B. Means who was indicted here today for the murder of Mrs. Maude A. King, had not been concluded when the Caparrus county court adjourned tonight. The state is expected to conclude it's state ment of reasons for change when court convenes tomorrow.
 In presenting his motion the solicitor said the defendants had employed prac- tically all the lawyers in this town to defend him; that when he sought a war rant for Means arrest officials were re- luctant to issue it; that the feeling shown against the New York witnesses and the prominence of the Means family in it's 100 years of residence In this vicinity made 1t difficult to have proper trial in Concord.
 After the grand jury returned the in- lctment Means was formally arraigned and pleaded not guilty. A venire was summoned from which to select a jury. Then came the states unexpected move and the adjournment of court before counsel for Means was ready to argue the motion.
