DENY AUSTRIA IS VASSAL OF GERMANY
Austrian Press Resents Will sons Allusion to Dual Monarchy in His
 Message

Amsterdam, December 10.--Comment- ing on the declaration of war by the United States against Austria Hungary the Budapest Pester Lloyd. according to Cologne Gazette dispatch from the Hungarian capital, declares it is q falsehood and an insult to assert that Austria Hungary is a vassal of Ger many.
 "The unbearable presumption which marks President Wilson's messages reaches a climax in this strangest and most irresponsible of war declara- tons,' says the newspaper. If Presi- dent Wilson has an ear for words of pride and honor he may learn from the speeches of Count Andrassy, Count Tisza and Count Czernin that the rela- tionship- of the allied central powers is squite other than vassalage. Free states and free-born peoples, they have never inquired whether one did not give too much or@the other too little.
 "The fullest truth, as between equals, prevails The overwhelming majority of the Hungarian nation joyfully as- sents to this alliance of free comrades in "a righteous struggle"
 The Az Ujsag of Budapest, considers it insulting that President Wilson thinks it is relief to the Hungarians that it is only desired to crush Ger many and not them fWe have one duty, one enemy, one destiny and arc at one in morale" the newspaper de- clares.

IS FACING SIXTH
 TRIAL FOR MURDER

Abingdon, Va, December. 1o-James Canter, a young white man, today is fac ing his sixth trial for the murder of Mrs, Maude Wilson, wife of farmer near Bristol, over three years ago. Canter's older brother, Luther, confessed to the crime and exonerated James Canter However both men were sentenced to death, Luther paying the penalty soon after the crime was committed. James Canter secured a new trial as result of the confession of his brother. but since then four juries have disagreed on a verdict, and now the sixth trial is pro- Eressing.
 Canter insists that he is innocent and two months ago refused to accept com promise of his case on a basis of serving five years in prison, declaring that he had rather go to the electric chair than accept to acknowledge a crime of which he was not guilty.

GREATEST FORCE OF TEUTONS DURING
 WAR NOW IN WEST
Bakers Estimate Is Placed Before Super War Coun- cil-President Attends
 in Person

Washington, December 10-Germany successful counter blow against the Brit ish lines before Cambrai was attributed by Secretary Baker in todays weekly re- view of military operations to the mass ing of the greatest Teutonlc torce or the war on the western front
 sIt would not do for us to minimize it's importance" the secretary warned. 'Tt means that we must speed up our military efforts"
 This was the situation that confronts ed the new super war council when 1t met in MT. Bakers office late today for it's first extended business session. The council, including the five cabinet officers, composing the council of nation al defense, and the heads of the war boards and administrations, was greeted personally by President Wilson. The President remained only few minutes leaving the council to sit long in delib- eration over it's grave problems.
 What new plans for speeding up were laid were not disclosed after the meet ing. The only suggestion was that there would be increased cooperation between the various government departments and between these in turn and the war boards that deal directly with the industries of the country.
 It is certain that no publicity will be given to the moves of the council except iii isolated cases and where some immedi- ate result is to be gained in that way. Probably the minutes of today's and sub- sequent meetings would be of more value to the enemy than any other information in the United States, for ways and means of carrying out the part of the United States in campaigns planned by the in ternationaf war board in Paris must come before the sessions.
 Army officers generally appear to agree with Secretary Bakers interpretation of the military situation. There is no in olination to dodge the fact that German military power has been strengthened On the other hand, there is no sign of discouragement no faltering in the confi- dence of ultimate victory that has char acterized opinion throughout the United States from the day war was declared.

TELLS OF
 HANDLING MONEY
Defendant Finishes His Tes- timony at Concord After
 Being on Stand 4 Days

Concord, N. C., December 10.-After B. Means finally concluded his xtesti- many late today before the jury which is to decide whether or not he is guilty of the murder of Mrs. Maude A. King, his employer, who was shot near here last August.
 The defendants version of the wom- ans having shot herself accidentally day and the greater part of the time after that was taken up in review of financial transactions with Mrs. Kings money.
 Means asserted that at the time of her death the woman's assets amounted to more than s6s0,0o0. Efforts had been made by the state to show that Means had made way with the greater part of the $1,0oo,O0o which Mrs. King in- herited.
 After Means had concluded his tes- timony the defense introduced more than a dozen witnesses, including Miss Kate Means and Mrs. Joseph Goodman, sisters of the defendant. The latter tes- tified as to Means attitude of grief at Mrs. Kings death, while others as- serted that experiments proved that a pistol placed in the fork of sycamore three at Blackwelder Spring would lie securely until removed. Means had con- tended that before stopping over to drink at the spring on the night of the tragedy he placed the pistol in the fork of the tree and that Mrs King took it from there. Court was held un- till 6:30 in order to hasten the case. which is in it's third week
