Papers Speak of Armistice as Greek Horse Upsetting
 Ali Social Systems.
HANS VORST WARNS
 AGAINST DELUSION
Declares D0lsheyiki Demands as Easy to Meet as Repeating JOshna's Feat of Stopping the
 Sun.

Stockholm. Nov. 28.-While indica- tions are lacking in the current Ger man comment as to what the response of the central powers to the Bolshe. wiki peace proposal will be, the press utterances indicate that there already are many Germans who are convinced that Nikolai Lenine's doctrines would upset the political and social system of all the nations of the world and bring peace which would prove to be a Ireek horse.
 ; BOlsheviki Delusion. One of Germany's ablest writers on ussian affairs, Hans Vorts, writing ill the Tageblatt of Berlin raises a warning against the delusion that the Bolsheviki peace program corresponds with the program of the central pow CTS.
 "No party in Germany" he says "would be willing to subscribe to such a program. The independent Social ists have no right to consider them selves representatives of the same ideas as Comrade Lenine, who continu- ously condemns them as 'opportun- ists.'
 Repeat Josuha's Feate.
 Herr Worst declares that the Bol- sheviki demands for an immediate truce is no easier to meet than to re- peat Joshua's feat of stopping the sun and the moon.

l. CARROLL CONE MADE PRISONER
 BY THE GERMANS
Farmer Auto Dealer Who Became Aviator Captured
 in Fance, Says iRu!

Carroll Cone, for some Ill nrominently engaged in the a ,;,o business in Pine Bluff an
 enlisted in the aviation corps
 American army, has been ca
 h, tho Germans in France ' sou S. held in an enemy prisoner
 aooording to reports received
 yesterday .ao o,, d,,r;no
 night by the Graphic to suLsta1
 this rumor but members of the
 talenhone exchange were unabl
 ohtain any answer to the repe
 ealls to the station at Mont1
 where MT. Cone's relatives live,
 consequently the truthfulness of
 ronnrt has not been asceftained.
 1t was stated by several people l night that the war department h; sent a telegram to the mother Of NJ Gone who lives at Montrose, to tn effect that due to trouble with tht engine of the airplane which MT. Cone was driving he was forced to descend behind the German lines and was mads prisoner. It is thought that he was rot wounded.
 The first report that reached Pine Bluff from the Portland section, con corning the alleged capture, had il that a letter had been received by Mr. Cones relatives in which the young man stated that he and a com panion named Beal had been cap tured, and that the letter was being smuggled thru German lines.
 Residents of Hamburg, queried by The Graphic, declared they knew nothing about the report, which. ac' cording to rumor, was being with held from Cones mother, Mrs. Jess Cone, because of fear of the effect the news might have on her condition
 J. Carroll Cone was for some time one of the most prominent of Pine Bluffs automobile dealers and dur ing his residence here le made a large number of friends. When war was declared, MT. Cone was one of the first of Pine Bluffs citizens to volunteer his services to the govern ment and his patriotism was com mended by all. He enlisted in the aviation corps and went to Memphis where he received his first training in the art of flying. In that city he was made a full-flsdged "bird-maa' and was transferred to Chicago where he received further instruction it was recently reported that he had sailed for France to go into active service against the enemy's forces.
 The Graphic was able to secure telephone connection with Portland several milss from Montrose, and ill which town Cone is widely known and it was stated that the people ot that town had heard the report but had been unable to vertify it.

Doctors Bear Out Conten- tion That Chilean Beauty
 Not Responsible.
DISCREPANCIES IN
 MAIDS TESTIMONY
Servant Insists Mrs. de Saulles Fired iu a Flash Is Ii Actuatcd Ky Sudden im-
 pulse.

Mineola, N. Y., Nov. Taking of testimony in the trial of Mrs. Blanca de Saulles on charge of murdering her divorced husband, John L. de Saulles, neared an end in supreme court here today. Dr. s. Ely Jelitfe, a widely known alienist, and pr. Louis Johnson, styled physiological chem ist," told from the witness stand of diagnoses which they made of Mrs. de Saulles' condition, shortly after the tragedy on the night of August g. Their evidence tended to support the Chilean woman's claim that she was not accountable for her actions, when she shot her former husband.
 Experts Testimony.
 "Hpothyreosis, the disease of the tyriod glands. which her attorneys maintain affected the defendant at the time of the shooting, was frequent ly mentioned by the experts. Inci- dental to their examination an x-ray photograph, purporting to show that Mrs. de Saulles, also, was suffering from brain pressure, resulting from fractured skull, was introduced. Miss Suzanne Mantau, Mrs. de Saulles maid, who accompanied her in the automobile ride from her home to that of her former husband just before the shooting occurred, was the only other witness examined today, whose testimony is regarded as having ar important bearing on the case. There were discrepancies in the maids an swers today, when compared witf those she gave in deposition taker by counsel for the prosecution and de- fense shortly after August 3. This deposition was read to the jury. Dis trict Attorney Charle R. Wheat pointed out material differences in the two accounts of the scene in the dc Saulles' living room when the shots were fired, but on three main points he was unable to move Miss Mantau from her first narrative.
 When firing the Shot.
 As to the manner in which Mrs. dc Saulles fired the shots, and whether de Saulles was facing her or had turn ed away, the witness seemed confus. led. Previously she had said her mis, tress took the pistol from her pocket and fired in deliberate manner; that she shot three times, "and de Saulles did not move." whereupon she fired twice more. Today she indicated that the shooting was done in flash as tho the deefndant was actuated by a sudden impulse.
 The doctors bore out Mrs. de Saul les contention that she know nothing of her surroundings in the jail until several days after the shooting. They said that when they examined the de- fendant she seemed irrational and could not make coherent replies to their questions. When the trial is re- stunned Friday morning, Henry A. Uterheart, Mrs. de Saulles' attorney is expected to have ready for submis- sion to the alienists examined today lengthy hypothetical question, the answer to which he believes will furth- CT strengthen his claims regarding Mrs. de Saulles' mental condition.
