KEYSER, w. Va, Aug. 2S.-A large
number Of the states witnesses were ex-
amined to-day in the - trial OF Peter

er, charged with the murder Of Sheriff

running his automobile into bridge at
Piedmont whiei the officer was on the
running board. trying to arrest the pris-
oner.
The court house was tammed. the In
terost In tho case being Intense. Clashes
between counsel are frequent.
More than twenty witnesses were
heard. The distance from the point
where Sheriff Davis mounted tho Wells

with the bridge occurred is about $50
feet. The testimony as to the speed CT
tho machine was going varied from
twenty to fifty miles an hour
William Simmons, on cross examlna-
ton, admitted that no did say to man
named Heskitt that he saw both Davis

The note comes as climax to
the remarkable series Of State
documents in which President
Wilson has argued the cause Of
world democracy against autocra-
cy in the high court Of public
opinion. and accepted more and
more by the people Of all the al
lied countries as expressing their
ideals.
There appears to be no doubt
that the United States was select
ed to make answer before the
world in advance Of all the others.
Whether the Entente nations Will
send extensive replies Is not
known here. 1t Is regarded as
probable that they will In large
measure adopt the Presidents
reasoning for their own, and send
notes Of endorsement.
The general tenor Of the Presl-
dents reply had been anticipated
everywhere, but there was no ink
ling of the forceful terms he
would employ to say that the
world can have no faith in the
autocratic government OF Ger
many.
Students Of diplomacy see in
his denunciation Of the military
autocracy a fresh appeal to the
war-ridden German people to
throw Oft their military masters
and join democracy, with a gov
eminent At to deal with the re-
mainder OF the world.
Although this appeal prooaoly
will not be permitted to become
known in Germany until the auto
cracy has attempted to mold tho
temper of the people for its recep-
ton by dcnunciation. through gov
eminent controlled press. OF what
has been characterized as interfer-
ence in the Internal affairs OF Ger

Secretary McAdoo Opens the
: Eyes Of Congressman to
Huge Financial Task.

AsHINGToN, Aug. 2s.-Threats OF
some Republican members OF the house
to oppose further appropriations for al
lied loans unless they are enlightened
regarding details of the transfer 81
monies already authorized. caused their
leaders on the ways and means commit
tee to question Secretary McAdoo on
this point to-day for more than three
hours behind closed committee room
doors.
The leaders then. emerged smiling
and expressed satisfaction with the
setretary's frankness. though still con-
tending that greater assurance OF money
being spent in the United States should
be required.
Efforts were being made tonight by
some Of the committeeman TO induce
Democratic Leader Kitchin TO call others
before the committee to testify regard
ing the transfer Of the monies 1t Is
considered probable. however that THIS
would not be done. as 1t might prevent
passage of the bond issue bill this week.
Approval Of his examination was eS-
pressed to the Republicans by Mr.. Nc
Adoo after the committe had adjourned.
He will be recalled tomorrow to answer
further questions and also to discuss
generally the terms Of the S11.53S.sl0.-
AGO bonds and certificates bill to-day,
his outstanding statement being that ~
Is absolutely necessary that the $4,000
N00. 900 worth or bonds in the bill TO
finance another allied loan should be vot-
cd as quickly as possible. Approximate
~ ;50o,O0O.O00 monthly is needed from
this country to carry the allies CAM
paign to July /. 1918, he said. and while
sufficient money is in sight to last until
November l. after that 1t Will be neces-
sary to turn to the proposed new auth
orization for funds.

hot fire. Opinion was divided after ad-
tournment as TO whether the plan would
prevail. The chief objection advanced
was that II would discriminate against
the bondholders and open tho way for
tax lodging.
The house adjourned to-day until
Thursday with view to receiving tho
bill from the committee that day and
pushing It through for a vote Friday or
Saturday.

In the Verdun sector, the Ger
