held in Russia would be freed for
service with the Teutonic armies.
Ever since the overturning of the
kerensky government the military
strategists here have been anticipat-
ing such conditions as exist today in
Russia. This is one of the principal
problems with which the inter-allied
war council in Paris is expected to
deal, Without being bound by any
special instructions, Colonel House
and his military adviser, General Bliss,
will cooperate with the representa-
tives of the entente powers in framing
some policy to meet the situation.
viii Mean Civil War.
Strong hope is felt thatan attemp.
by Lenine to turn Russia over to
Germany will meet with powerful re-
sistance at home. Any action decided
upon by the allies will be directed at
the Petrograd extremists and not at
the people of Russia.
Reports that come from the Don
Cossack country that the hetman,
General Kaledines, may be the master
of the situation through his control
of the food which is necessary to
maintain any military force in the
north of Russia, have encouraged mill
itary experts here to believe that in
spite of the aid of his German ad-
visers, Lenine and his faction may be
brought to terms.

GOLD EXPORTS TAKEN
BY JAPAN AND SPAIN

the country's commerce for the first
nine months of the year. made pub
lie today by the department of com

crease in gold exports was absorbed
largely by Japan and Spain.
Japan took $155,467,726 in gold
from the United States from January
through September as compared with
$9,S00,630 in the same period of 1916,
and was virtually the only one of the
allied countries to receive precious
metal from America in September.
Spain imported s99,377,4OO for nine
months, again $9.6O1 $50 in the same
period of the preceding year.
Mexico got $6,712,279 up to septem-
ber 80 as compared with less than
a million dollars in the corresponding
period of 1916.
Total gold exports for nine months
amounted to $34S,96S,514 in 1917,

hand to- hand fighting set in. Butts
of guns, fists and hand grenades were
freely brought into play and many
men fell to the ground before the rest
gave up resistance and surrendered.
After a bare hour the German storm

propose to shoot them down as they
had been led in the French training
camp to believe we would do.
"They know no reply to our query,

of American ships by U-boats, which
was the favorite pretext. sounds tri-
file stale. One prisoner expressed the
opinion that we had treated Belgium
rather badly. Another asserted that
it was Lafayette who brought Ameri-

ence and becadse of this the United
States would now stand by France.

PROSECUTION OF
GASTON B. MEANS
TO USE EXPERTS
Jury Is Secured to Pass Upon
Evidence Regarding Cause
of Killing of Mrs, Maude A,
King in North Carolina,


Concord N. G., Nov. 27.--The jury
which is to determine whether CASTOR
B. Means shot and killed Mrs.
Maud A. King, wealthy Chicago
widow, at Blackweller springs near
here on August 20, was completed to-
night in Cabarrus county court.
Immediately after the twelfth juror
had been accepted court adjourned
until tomorrow when the state will
begin prosecution of it's case. Solicitor
Hayden Clement announced tonight
that the first witness will be either
l.. W. Weddngton, a local undertaken,
who prepared Mrs. Kings body for
burial and accompanied it to Chicago,
or Capt. W. S. Bingham, Means
friend, who was nearby when the
woman was killed.
There will be no opening statement
by counsel as the North Carolina
law makes no provision for the out
line of the case in advance of the
evidence.
Nine farmers and three cotton mill
workers compose the jury.
Neither the state nor defense has
outlined it's case, but it is known that
the prosecution will rely upon expert
witnesses to prove its contention that
Mrs. King could not have shot herself
as the defense maintains.

Major Washburn said. "Kaledines, the

"Kaledines is a soldier, man with

will maintain great armies in the field

GERS are reported to be acting as mill
tary advisers to the Lenine govern
ment. Probably most pertinent
point in the discussion will be the flu

just closed has been very favorable to

day reviewing military operations for
the week ending Saturday.
"The success of the British often
sive in the region of Cambria and
the steady resistance of the Italians
in the face of the repeated attacks
of the Austro-German forces are two
factors which may be considered as
correlative eminents of one and the
same move.
1T is evident that the enemy took
the offensive in Italy hoping thereby
to save themselves from the increas-
ingly difficult position in which their
forces find themselves in the west
The German higher command were
apparently confident, that in order to
save their ally from invasion such a
contingent as the French and British
troops being detached from the west

Italian theater was Impossible.

along the front held by the

achieved a successful coup de main
south of Juvincourt, in Champagne,
resulting in the capture of some ele-

artillery duels took place north of the
Chemin des Danes and in the Verdun
sector, where, as for several weeks
past the enemy continued to lombard
the French positions in Chaume wood.
In the sector where our troops are

noted. Small detachments, while on
patrol duty have gained some useful
experience.
