HUN CAMPAIGN TO DIS0RGANIzE RUSSIAN ARMY
While Negotiating Armis tice Germans Send Agitat-
 ors to Russ Army.

Washington, Dec. 1.-While nego- tiating with the bolsheviki regiment for an armistice, German military authorities have renewed their cam paign to disorganize the Russian army. Cable advices today said
 schools have been organized in all German divisions on the eastern front to train men to be sent among the Russians. Three non-commissioned officers and six privates are drawn from each division. They are chosen with special reference for their
 knowledge of the Russian and Polish languages, and are instructed regard ing political conditions in Russia, lines of communications and other facts of value. In some quarters the campaign was interpreted as a design to win over the soldiers and thus strengthen the teutons in their de mands for favorable peace terms. There were those, however, who saw in the move a not over optimistic view of the success of peace negotia- tions, and a desire to take advantage of the present situation to so dis organize the Russian army as to elim- mate it as a. menace during the re- mainder of the war. Officials today continued their policy of withholding comment on the Russian situation.

TO REDUCE TAX ON
 OLEOMARGARINE
 CONDUCTORS

Washington. Dec. 1.-Reduction of the 10 cents a pound tax on COZ ored oleomargarine, both as a war measure to increasing the produc- tion of food fats and as a means of actually yielding more aggregate revenue, was recommended in the annual report of the Internal Reve- nue Bureau, issued today over the name of w. H. Osborne, who has re- gently been succeeded as commis- sioner by Daniel c. Roper. Another recommendation prompted by war conditions was that the govern ment should assume control, manu- facture and use of narcotic drugs needed for Red Cross work.

State Attempts to Show Defendant Used Securities and Money Be. longing to Slain Woman
 and Mother.

Concord, N. C.. Dec. That Cas- ton B. Means, on trial here for the murder of Mrs. Maude King, wealthy Chicago widow, once represented him. self as commercial agent of the Ger man government, with advance knowl- edge of events planned in Germany, was disclosed by state witness at to- days session of the trial :%
 John E. Todd, Chicago broker, testi- fled that when Means made a mar gin account with his firm, last Janu- ary, he said he had advance informa- tion on the forthcoming speech of the German chancellor in the reichstag, produced a book in which he asserted was the telephone number of Capt. Karl Boy-Ed, former naval attache of the German embassy at Washington, and mentioned the Hamburg-Ameri- can line as reference. Todd testified Means lost 5000, when cotton prices decreased.
 This was the first reference to Means alleged connection with Ger man agents, which New York officials claim to have discovered in a search of Means apartments.
 The state today devoted it's time to tracing Means financial operations, attempting to show that the defend ant used securities and money of Mrs. King and her mother for his own benefit. The state announced it was ready to present letters and other documents, filed with the court Thurs day, to identify Means signature.
 The denfense objected, saying they had not had sufficient time to examine the documents, and asked for ad- journment until Monday. This was pranted
