GERMANS IN PETRoeRAo.

Ignorant as Americans may be or
what Is transpiring in Russia, 1t
doesn't require much information or
much acumen to deduct that the
presence Of members of the German
general staff in Petrograd, working
a. advisers to Nickolai Lenine, the
Bolsheviki premier, bodies no good
for the allied cause.
While this dispatch has not been
confirmed, II bears out all that has
been believed of the new Russian
government. II has been asserted re-
peatedly that Lenine was a tool OF
the German foreign office and was
backed by German funds.
Russia appears to be on the verge
of a bloody civil war. In the north
is the Lenine government. still
shaky, but apparently being en-
trenched by German money, German
oficers, and probably German SOL
diers IL they are needed.
In the south is General Kaledines,
who is said to control the gold re-
serve and much of the food supply OF
Russia. The Russian army in the
north is completely demoralized, and
is said to be in a state OF open
nIutiny, because of the imminent
danger of starvation.
The greatest danger to the allies is
the menace Of the release of German
and Austrian prisoners held in Rus
STA. Most Of these are in camps in
Siberia, and their immediate release
is impossible, owing to the disrup-
ton OF communications, but If Ger
many can entrench Lenine as pre-
mier. there is little doubt but that
Germany will be able TO greatly re-
inforce her dwindling man power by
the release Of more armies on the
eastern front and by the release Of
prisoners.
General Kaledines, apparently, is
the hope OF the allies. Northern
Russia has not enough food for its
own uses. and would be Of little value
to Germany from an economic stand
point. Southern Russia Is the only
menace to the central powers, and
the only territory that would be of
real benefit to them. If the drive on
Italy is found to be taking too great
a toll, the Germans may abandon it,
withdraw their reserves, and throw
them against Rumania with Odessa
an their objective. Southern Russia
and RumaniE are rich storehouses Of
gram. The climate is pleasant
enough fora winter campaign, and
General KaleaiRes and his sturdy
Rumanian allies soon nsaX find them
selves facing the peril that Italy has
met.
Meanwhile the British and French
are trying for knockout blow in the
west. They have not delivered it
yet, but the latest reports are that
s,724, 900 Germans are kept busy on
the western front, showing that Ger
many, as we'll as the allies, realizes
that the issue VIII be decided in this
theater.

|CLAIM SUICIDE
THEORY ABSURD
Bullet Wound That Caused
Death of Mrs. King Not
Self-inflicted
INV Associated Press.l

Concord, ". c., Nov. 2S.-The trial
Of Castor B. Means, for the murder
Of Mrs. Maude A. King, the wealthy
New York and Chicago widow shot
near here last August, was resumed
yesterday with the selection Of jury
men.
The questions asked the veniremen
indicated that the state is relying on
weaving net Of circumstantial
evidence around Means and by New
York and Chicago experts hopes TO
show it would have been physically
impossible for Mrs. King to have in
flicted in the back of her head the
bullet that caused her death.
Means counsel asked one venire-
man whether he would convict Means
IL the state was unable to show a
motive for the crime. The state
pointed out that North Carolina law
does not require a motive to be
shown, and was upheld by the court.

"HYPoTHYREosIs."

"Hypothyreosis" was the cause of
the murder of John de sauIles, by
his former wife, according to the de-
tense outlined in the murder trial
now in progress in Mineola, N. Y.
The disease is defined as IAN
atrophy OF the thyroid gland which
AFFECTS the nerve centers of the
brain and which, If not checked, ends
in hopeless mental infirmity and
death"
Public sympathy, undoubtedly, is
with Mrs. de Saulles. Rightly or
wrongly, the public sees in her a
neglected and abused wife and moth
er, who was driven frantic by the re-
fusaI to permit her to have posses
sion Of her young son.
But youth, beauty and mother love
are not defense in a murder trial
not in themselves, and openly. Com
bined with 'Hypothyreosis" they are
likely to win Mrs. de Saulles' froe-
dom at least from the electric chair,
and perhaps nothing more serious
than confinement in a sanitarium.

ACQUITTED OF

Was Accused of Driving
Billings and MONEYS to
Scene of Crime
(Bv Associated Press.l

San Francisco, Nov. 2S.-Israel
Weinberg, a jitney bus driver, ~Was
acquitted yesterday by a jury of
murder charge which grew out Of the
Preparedness parade bomb explosion
which killed ten persons here last
year. The trial began Oct. 9. The
jury was out % minutes.
Israel Weinberg fourth Of the bomb
murder defendants to face a jury,
was brought to trial Oct. 9, before
Superior Judge Emmett Seawell.
The state produced witnesses in
tended to prove that Weinberg drove
three Of the six defendants to the
scene OF the explosion in his jitney
bus, where, a tan suit case. alleged
by the state to have contained the
bomb, was placed on the sidewalk on
the spot where the blast occurred.
Altbt witnesses were placed on the
stand by the defense whose main
contention was that Weinberg was
driving his machine in another Sec
ton Of the city when the explosion
took place.
A feature in the course of the
selection of jury, which took two
weeks, was a ruling by the court dis
barring from jury service members
of any organization which contribut-
ed directly or indirectly to any fund
used by the defense or prosecution.
The court specifically named the
San Francisco chamber Of commerce
and various labor unions. The cham
Der Of commerce had appointed a
special prosecutor in previous cases,
while many labor unions had con-
trtbuted money for the defense fund.
Warren K. Billings, Thomas j.
Mooney and Mrs. Rena Mooney, wife
of Mooney, were the first defendants
tried in the order named. Billings
and Mooney were convicted and
sentenced to life Imprisonment and
death respectively. Appeals in both
cases were taken to the state SUI
preme court.
Mrs. Rena Mooney was acquitted
Of one OF nine indictments for MUIR
der. Her motion thereafter for lib
erty on bail was denied by one, of
three superior judges in whose courts
the indictments were pending.

from the shoulder, in this fashion:

ammunition to the American SOL
diers on the battle front who

What would be done with the
man whose business IL was to

thought he had done enough for

What would be done with the

That, which would be done to

and plenty. And 1t would be done

Then how about the man who

who Is to carry it to the

Keeping Up With North D&~
kota Editors.

The Mott Spotlight wants a Home
Guard, and asks: Why not" One
reason is that Governor Frazier has
not recognized home guard COM
panies in North Dakota yet. Here is
what The Spotlight has to say on
the subject:
Why not a Home Guard for
Mott? All around us these or
CARNATIONS are being perfected,
and some most surprising results
have already been attained.
There never was a better oppor-
tunity before us to start some
thing worth while, than right
now. Sergeant Sam Boyd has
just returned from Fort Smelling
where he has been engaged in
army service for several months,
and he is also a veteran Of the
Spanish American war. None
better could be selected to lead
Motifs Home Guard. A number
OF our citizens have freely ex-
pressed themselves in favor of
this and all that is needed is
someone with sticktoitiveness to
start the ball a Tollin' for a strong
home guard. We need il. The
country needs us. We can il we
will. Will we? VIII you be one

The Kenmare News holds the ex-
ample OF Russian Socialism Up. as fol-
lows:
The Socialists have control OF
the government Of Russia, and
what q beautiful mess they are
making OF it. Must North Da-
kota pass through the same ex-
perience due to the same kind OF
leaders? Socialism is the same
the world over.
Here are two pertinent comment!
from The Page Record:
Some Of the press Of the state
have been criticised because they
insist on support Of the national
administration, but refuse to
rally to the support OF the state
authorities. When the two get at
variance, as has sometimes hap
pened, we believe in staying by
that which best represents the
interests Of the country, which
explains our attitude toward our
state officials at times.
Had the /. W. w. element been
given their way in this state. as
was evidently promised by their
socialist allies. conditions here
would be little better than they
are in Russia. Agitation that ar
rays one class against another is
not conducive to the good Of any
community.

Double Trouble" is adapted from

picture is a Triangle production.
Advance notices have been high in
their praise of Fairbanks work in
this particular picture.
Fairbanks plays the role of a man
with dual personality and blow
on the head changes him from a
timid and retiring man to a ruthless
and aggressive personality who holds
prominent position in a booming
oil town. After five years in the lat
ter life, Fairbanks awakened to find
himself dressed in sport clothes. IN
able to understand the change, he
goes to a spirit medium who trans
forms him back and forth at will
until the two personalities are
gradually fused into one, and all ends
happily.
