GENERAL PERSH|NG
 MAY HAVE AIDED IN
 PLANNING BATTLE
Tactics in Latest British Advance Resemble Ameri- can Idea. of Going
 After Them"
By HUGH W. ROBERTS

Washington, December L-(Special] The manner in which British troops, without artillery preparation, stormed and captured German trenches has given great satisfaction to American military authorities.
 For that manner, in the employ ment of American troops has not only been considered but, as previously stated in this correspondence, advo- cated by them As matter of fact it is said in Washington that very probably the coup of General Byng was the result of advice of General Pershing, who was on the field of battle.
 General Pershing before sailing for France is said often to have indicated disfavor of European scheme of trench fighting--that is, the general scheme Of artillery dueling prior to rushes. It was his contention that France and England, by the adoption of the American style of going after them would achieve greater results.
 The national army under course of instruction is being made skillful more in open warfare than in trench work. In the beginning. however the men were taught trench duty almost exclusively. Quite recently the style has undergone change and the re- cruits are drilled in open rushes fol lowed by halts for firing rifles and machine guns.
 This is taken in Washington to mean that Americans will be sent after" the Germans, that the style of warfare by means of which the Uni ted States has won all it's wars will not be radically changed.
 II is considered significant that shortly after the change in instruc- tion was noted in the United States the change was put into effect in France. It may have been, as pointed out in Washington, that Pershing was responsible for the British surprise of the Germans which delivered more than 100 square miles of territory. < In connection with the victory Washington has reached the conclu- sion that England has put in France large number of the 100000 hith bility of invasion.
 Army officers, as a rule did not criticize England for this precaution even when France appeared exhaust ed after Russia collapsed. Italy was driven against the wall and Lloyd George asked when the United States would have 100000 in the trenches Some, however, contended that Eng land was too prudent, that its navy could protect it against invasion and that 100000 fresh soldiers would probably hasten Germany's end
 Now, it is believed that England has sent heavy endorsements to Haie not only to fill places vacated by mer sent to Italy, but to make possible continued allied victories. American army officers. on. the above hypoth- Cambrai but still greater achieve ments.

He in. formed friends in Montgomery Saturday that he had no intention of entering the contest and did not desire the office For several days pressure has been brought on him and at one time it was thought he was considering the matter His friends insisted that his record while governor would make him the can didate on a business platform and would assure confidence.
 Governor Jelks. when he retired, left upwards of 5000 000 in the state treas ury. He has reached the conclusion, ac- cording to his statement. that he should not mar this record by attempting to take over the government again with the state nearly $2,000.0o0 in debt

and inmutable the laws of the MedeS and Persians: that prices were inva- riably governed by the relation of one to another. Yet the exigencies of war have knocked this theory into a cooked hat and the law of supply and demand has been suspended so far as price de- termination is concerned The govern ment steps in and the ancient and time honored law takes a back seat
 We were taught at school that com mercial trade balances governed the flow of gold from one country to another accumulated during the past three years as result of the operation of economic theories that had not vet been sus- pended, was in danger of depletion in favor of Japan, Spain, Argentina ana other countries. It was not a trade balance adverse to the United States that was dra wing all of this gold from our shores. Trade balances with most of these countries were in our favor, ana again the government stepped in and stopped or regulated this flow. In the triangular or quadrangular movement oi the gold that was leaving us, there wa. no telling what Japan, or Spain. or other countries were going to do with it; and so the government again upset the am cient order of things.
 I We had been taught to believe by -four masters in political economy that undue and harmful imitation and expan- sion of business always accompa nies an oversupply of gold; yet with a gold reserve nearly 50 per cent above normal, has anyone vet noticed signs of undue
 business expansion? Is there any big industrial development under way, ex- cept for the production of war necessi- ties? Are the factories not so engaged abnormally prosperous? Are there any big public or private improvements ts going on. or railways being built? One fails to find any abnormal business ex- pansion except in war lines. The tenn per of the country is distinctly adverse
 to business evanston of any kind that does not directly affect our war posi- tion. Another time-honored economic theory thrown into the discard.

BOLSHEV|KI WILL BE REPUD|ATED, S REPORT TOLONDON General Dukhonin Will Fight on Against Rule
 of Lenine MEASURING NEWS
 FROM RUSS CAPITAL It Is Said That Loyal Element in Country Is Working Quietly But Effectively to Bring About
 Better Situation
By Associated Press

London, December 1. = Measuring messages from Russia to the effect that ! no separate peace will be tolerated. but that the armies under General Dukho- min will fight on, have been received by thesRussian embassy in London
 Dr. ]. o. Gavronsky. special comnis- sioner of the Russian provisional gov- ernment. and .N- M. Nordmann. director of the department of economics in the ministry of foreign affairs. who arc now E in London, declared in statement to the Associated Press today that it was only a matter of 8 few weeks, it may be sooner, when the Bolsheviki will be completely repudiated, as the forces in South Russia, which is overwhelmingly opposed to a. separate peace, control the supplies and are working quietly, but surely in the right direction The fact that the embassy staffs in Eondon are carrying on their routine work with the Dukhonin headquarters, as we'll as with part of the Russian navy, the same as usual is said by the embassy officials to indicate that there is no intention to recognize the Fetrograd usurpers.
 SITUATION DELICATE
 According to Gavronsky and Nordmann the situation is most delicate because of the ignorance of the masses; there fore, the forces which are working to put Russia again on her feet are doing so quietly. Dr. Gavronsky said:
 s'We are certain that Russia will never uuit the war until the allies are vc- torious. Information we have received is to the effect that some more army units may so over to the Bolsheviki be- fore the reaction sets in- but there will stin be many units which will fight on They may be forced to retreat again and again until their brothers, who are quitting under false promises, realize that separate peace would mean the complete ruin of Russia for all time.
 ALWAYS RUSSIAN FRONT
 ''One thing sure, however, there will always be. a Russian front and a ques- ton which may bear close considera- ton soon will be whether the American army could not be employed advantage ously where the eastern front remains firm. The people who have the welfare of the country at heart will never sub init to the Bolsheviki and as soon as they see an opportunity they will over throw them. When the reaction sets in is the time to consider sending an American army. Americans whould have such stimulating effect that the whole country would rally to fight to make the world safe for democracy
