U. S. TROOPS NOT TO
Be IN ACTION SOON
WILL BE SOME TIME BEFORE THE
AMERICAN SOLDIERS ARE AC1
TUALLY STATIONED ON LINE OF
BATTLE.

HEADQUARTERS OF AMERICAN
ARMY, in France, September TO-
Americas first contingent of troops is
not going to get into the battle line
very soon.
Establishment today of new spec
ialist schools" and the circulation, un-
officially, of various hints, made it
clear that there is lot of training
which the Sammies must yet UNDER
go.
The Americans, having concluded a
training period with French poilus,
will now receive the best elements of
the British training system, from Brit
ishers as well as Americans who have
studied in British war schools.
A new school" for American Off
GERS and non-commissioner officers,
was started apart from the camp to-
day. They will undergo an intensive
study in trench motaring, bayonetting
and machine cunning. Eventually this
and other special schools will expand
in size to teach the officers who will in
turn transmit their knowledge to the
fighters themselves.
The farewell of the Americans to
their French comrades of the past
weeks was grave and affeetionate
one. The French trainers had en-
deared themselves to ever yone of the
Americans and, they hated to see
them go.

stands firmly entrenched behind one
third of the worlds total gold supply
While the embargo is not absolute,
Secretary McAdoo will see to it that
shipments to Japan, Spain
and Mexico are curtailed.
Bankers and treasury officials have
felt grave concern at the tremendous
drains on Americas gold supply. There
is evidence that German banks in
Latin-America have been able to filter
gold through to Germany
Treasury officials said export of coin
and bullion in settlement of foreign
trade balances would not be restricted.

will be kept Afiidavits will
be required showing their exact desti-
nation. In this way any secret flow of
gold by direct or indirect means, to
enemy countries will be traced and

embassy officials here believe
that General Korniloff was put for
ward by an element of workers and
soldiers delegates who are opposed to
the death penalty method for restoring

that a less stringent method would be
more effective. They fear such a power

An extra session of the Sumter Su-
perior court started this morning on
the trial of DR.. C. K. Chapman, charg-
ed with the murder of Walter Wade,
which crime was committed August
18th of last year.
Court opened at 9 o'clock with Judge
o.. A. Littlejohn presiding, and Col.
julie FELTON,, of oMntezuma, acting as
solicitor general.
After the organization of court, most
of the time up until noon was spent Sc
Getting jurors. Three hundred yenire-
men were summoned for this trial and
practically half of them have been dis
qualified to serve on the case Up to
the time 1.-THE Times Recorder went to
press this afternoon, only six men had
been selected from among SO men ex-
amined. They are A. F. Hodges, L. A..
McrCea, L. A. Thomas, G. L. Brown,
Leonard Smith and W. w. Hines. Ii
is expected, however, that the jury will
be completed this afternoon and the
taking of testimony viii begin tomor-
row.
DR.. Chapman has been tried for the
murder of Walter Wade twice and a
ristrial was made in each case.
This is noted case and good deal
of interest is being manifested In It To-
cally ard over this section of the
cuntry. Many persons from out-of-town
are here to hear the evidence, and the
courthouse was thronged with peope at
both the morning and afternoon ses-
sions today.
The trials Of Warren |. Johnson
John Etheridge, Walter Johnson
Charles Chapman, Jr., and Henry Harp
who are also charged with completely
in the alleged mrder, have not yet
been set for hearing, BIT it is expect
ed in the event DR. Chapman is yonvict-
ed these defendants will be placed on
trial next week.
Clara Oliver, known ocally as Lit
tie it" the woman who was arrested
in Atlanta in connection with the case,
but subsequently released after the
grand jury returned a no-bill in her
case, is in the city, and will probably
give testimony at>the trial during this
week.
There are a good many visiting at
tcrneys in the city and whom are con-
pected with the trial. Among them are
Col. julie FELTON,, of Montezuma; Col w.
ID. Mcneil, of Macon, and Frank Hooper
of Atlanta
Mrs. Yeartie Howell, star witness for
the state, and who testified at previous
hearings of the case that she was in
the automobil eat the time Wade is
to have been murdered on the
Andersonville road near Americus,
will probably repeat her sensational
story during the tria this week,
1t is predicted that the state will
offer some new evidence of startling
nature. However, the attorneys for DR..
Chapman express confidence that he
will be acquitted
