sGASTON MEANS ON TRIAL
FOR MURDER OF MRS. KING

man Captain Won Papen, reappeared
here today, silent Nand smiling.
It was limited by officials in a posi-
ton to know that Means trial may
be brief and a jury quickly selected,
with sensational developments fol-
lowing quickly on his possible ac-
quittal. 1t is known that others than
Means are still under close surveil-
lance and would be involved in de-
velopments pursuant upon Means ac-
quittal
The defense evidenced a change of
tactics today when 1t followed the
states suit in rounding up experts to
help prove Means innocent of MUIR
dering the woman whose fortune he
is said to have dissipated while act
ing as her confidential adviser.
A plaster cast Of the tree crotch
at lonely Blackwelder Springs from
which Mrs. King is said by Means
to have lifted the revolver and either
accidentally or Intentionally shot her
self behind the left ear, has been
made. 1t will be introduced at the
trial to refute the states experts who
will testify that 1t was physically
impossible for Mrs. King to have
gotten the revolver in position to
shoot herself ~ she was shot

THE HAGUE, Nov. 27.-A serious
strain in the traditionally friendly
relations between Holland and Amer
lea looms large today.
Strict enforcement Of Americas
export restrictions has affected not
only the stomachs and minds of the
Hollanders, but has tempered their
high regard for democratic America.
Diplomatic negotiations are now in
progress.
Meanwhile pubic sentiment ir Hol-
against America, for what Is regrded
here as an incom prehensibly heart
less attitude.
Realizing that the situation pre-
sented to Holland by the American
embargo restrictions matter Of
actual life and death here-is little
understood in the United States, the
correspondent OF the United Press
today sought the Dutch point Of view
from the man best situated to outline
it--Dr. COrt Van Der Linden, pre-
mier Of The Netherlands.
In a phrase, as he expresses 1t.
Holland desires only that America
shall apply to her only President
Wilson'S own announced principle Of
fair treatment to small nations and
respect OF their rights.
Hollands grand old man" has
heretofore refused all interviews since
the start of the war. But he was
eager to give Hollands version Of
her difficulties with the United
States, seizing the opportunity to
appeal to the American people. He
said Hollands feeling OF resentment
against America was easy to ex-
plain"
I'VE Dutch nationals" he con-
tfnued, "unreservedly believe Presi-
dent Wilson's idealistic messages.
They found warm response in our
country. Therefore, we do not un-
derstand Americas attitude toward
a nation striving for perfect neu-
trality, and trying to save the nucleus
of international law by reminding
belligerents violating her rights or
interests of the rules which the best
and most responsible lawyers in the
world codifed.
"America-the America which took
a leading part in this work Of civili-
zation-now detains the ships Of
small neutrals. She withholds food
stuffs and raw materials. After
time there will be no bread left in
Holland and unemployment will
reach a proportion dangerous to tho
public order.
do you wonder then that this
nation resents Americas policy?
Resents Americas policy of guaran-
tees that imported cereals shall not
be reexported, when they are in fact
consigned to the Dutch government,
through the Netherlands overseas
trust? We resent this policy when

SLOW AND RELENTLESS

UNITED Press Leased Wire Service, ]
WASHINGTON, Nov. 27.-The al
lies hope to break the western line by
SLOW yet relentless sapping'' Of Ger
many's man power. Reviewing the
past weeks war events, Secretary
Baker today pointed this out as the OBJ
Ject behind the several offensives and
held II to be more important. even.
than the gain In territory.
TT Is the wastage Of tho enemy's
forces" he said; ''the slow, yet relent-
less sapping of his man power by con-
tinued and sudden offensive thrusts
which must eventually result in the
softening Of his line in the west. This
is the ultimate objective of the series
OF intensive offensives so successfully
pursued by the allies during the past
six months and Is even more import
ant than the gain OF terrain"
Baker held that the Teuton made
his Italian offensive ito extr1cate him

THE German higher command was
apparently confident that in order to
save Italy from invasion" Baken con-
tinued, such Important contingents OF
NI0UCu dHO DIlLi6n IIOOpo WOVlQ
detached from the western front as
to render any further allied offensives
in this theatre impossible"
While such aid has been given.
Baker held it had not impaired the
west front efficiency. The Cambrai
victory, he held, had dominated the
past weeks military situation, though
Italy's steady resistance had been a
part OF zone and the same movement" I"
The allied ruse Of keeping up its
Flanders bombardment to shield the
Cambria movement; and the use of
tanks instead Of artillery to clear the
path to Cambrai, were praised by Bak-
er as "a strategy daIfngly conceived
and brilliantly executed" He said the
British took over ten thousand prison
ers which was more than their total
casualties.
Increased artillery activity" was
noted In the sector where American
troops are training, indicating that
the Teuton is preparing for new raids.
Small detachments (of American
troops) while>on patrol duty have
gained some useful experience" Baker
wrote
"As for Italy" the secretary concIud-
ed, "the morale Of the italian forces
is improving daily and while the Sit
lation is not wholly free from criti-
cal aspects, the defensive measures
appear adequate to meet the situa-
tion."

without any implication Of disioyalty.
Congress is empowered to declare war

One factor working against an Inn

congress expects to be almost con-

Thus, II further war declarations be-
come inevitable, action could be taken
without delay.
Congressional leaders have no deh-

Aside from keeping down expendi-

When Weeks asked if she had any

said she couldn't remember. She
smiled sweetly at Weeks.
Weeks insisted that Mrs. DeSaulles
fix the exact time when her senses
returned after the shooting, but she
said she couldn't remember. There
were long pauses between each of
her answers.
