FOOD AND FUEL TO
 BE GIVEN PRIORITY
 BY THE RAILROADS
Republican A. p. Leased Wlre1

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1.-Confusion that has developed over requests from various government quarters for pri- ority of shipment for food, fuel and munitions appeared far from cleared up tonight after an all day conference between government heads and rail road war board officials.
 An order drawn up by Robert S Lovett, director of priority, directing that food, fuel and munitions be put in special classification for move ment ahead of general freight was held up at the last minute and it was indi- cated that the whole question would be referred to the inter- departmental war council for a decision Monday. The council was formed last week of de- partment heads and chairman of gov ernment boards and commissions to take up problems of the Sort.
 No announcement was made after the conference, but it was learned that the food and fuel administrations have reached an agreement as to preferen- tial movement for food and fuel, and that each is willing that the two be classed together along with war sup plies. Vigorous objection, however, it was said, came from the railroad board against any general priority order. The railroads, they hold, best can clear the present freight congestion through their pool. A general priority order for any particular commodity or any group, they said further would com plicate. the situation. Coal, they de- clared, already is beginning to move under the unofficial arrangement made by the eastern operating committee which puts coal ahead of, general freight
 The food and fuel administrations, it was made clear tonight, are ready to insist that coal and foodstuffs be put on preferential list by government order, holding that only in this way can their prompt movement be as. shred

DECLARE MEANS
 CLAIMED TO BE AN
 AGENT OF GERMANY
Republican A. p. Leased Wire1

CONCORD, N. C., Dec. 1.-Gaston B. Means in the course of his numerous and often spectacular financial trans actions once represented himself as commercial agent of the German gov ernment with advance knowledge of events planned in Germany, according to evidence offered by the state today at Means trial in Babarrus county court on charge of murdering Mrs. Maude A. King.
 John A. Todd, Chicago broker, tes- tified that when Meads opened a mar gin account in cotton with his firm last January he said he had advance infor- nation of the contents of the forth coming speech of the German chan cellor in the reichstag, produced book in which he said was the telephone number of Captain Karl Boy-Ed, for mer naval attache of the German em- bassy at Washington; and mentioned the Hamburg American line as a 'sort of reference" Means lost $35,000 when cotton prices dropped, the witness said. This was the first reference at the trial to any connection between Means and the German government but after | Means New York apartment was raid l ed by the police, it was intimated that 1 he had represented the German gov | ernment in this country. Whether this has any bearing upon tile presence al | the trial of an agent of the department of justice has not been made known.
 William J. Burns of New York, by whom Means formerly was employed as detective, came to Concord today He visited the court room and talked with Means several times. The purpose of his visit was not divulged but it was learned that he engaged transportation to New York for a hurried trip to Chi cago.
 The state devoted it's entire time to- day to tracing Means financial opera tiOns, with the purpose of showing that he was using the securities anG money of the dead woman and hel mother for his own benefit and thus establishing a motive to support the murder charge.
 Hugh M. Garretson, assistant
 cashier of the Illinois Turst company
 Chicago, testified that on December 26
 1916, Means borrowed S15,00 from thu
 trust company on securities Whicl
 were described as being part of thos,
 in the trust fund or SI25.000 for Mrs
 King and her mother, held at the Mer chants Loan and Trust company ant previously revoked on a paper signet
 by Means and bearing the signature
 of the two women.
 Edward F. Mack, vice president O the Central Trust company, Chicago testified that on December 13, 1916 Means borrowed S30,000 from his banl , on $38000 worth of securities, whicl later were sold to pay the loan. Tn securities described by Mack wer } similar to those which it had previousl } been testified formed part of the re ? voked trust fund.

JUAREZ, Mex, Dec. 1.-Following a week of fighting in four widely scat tered localities in northern Chihuahua state the Juarez hospital was crowded tonight with wounded fedora l0oldiers while many more were receiving emer gency treatment in hastily improvised field hospitals. The Cruz Blanca (White cross) hospital here contained 32 patients who had been sent here from Ojinaga, Laguna, Gallego and Villa Ahumada.
 Twenty of these were. brought from Presdio Tex, where Gey h/1 been cared for since the battle of Ojinaga~ Twelve others were brought in on d local freight train from Villa Ahumada, to which point they had ridden or walked from Laguna. One was Colonel Limon Olivas, chief of staff to General Eduardo Chavez, who was killed when the Villa forces attacked his special train near Laguna Tuesday. The 12 were the only survivors of the train guard of 70 soldiers which left Chi huahua City.
 No wounded from the fights Monday at Cuchillo Parade. 60 miles below Ojinaga and from Falomir and Aldama have yet been reported and were de- lieved to have been left in field hos pitals on ranches in that district Villas main command was believed tonight to be at the Santa Clara can yon, 75 miles northwest of Chihuahua City where the Villa forces were be- lieved to be encamped and we're rest ing after strenuous three weeks 1T the field.

No Separate Peace

LONDON Dec. 1.-ReasurIing mes sages from Russia to the effect that no separate peace will be tolerated but that the armies uncer General Duk honin will fight on have been received by the Russian embassy in London.
 Dr. J. O. Gavronsky, special commits sioner of the Russian provisional gov- ernment and N. M. Nordmann, director of the department of economies in the ministry of foreign affairs who <s now in London, declared in a sta,e- ment to the Associated Press tonight that it was only a matter of few weeks, it may be sooner, when the Bolsheviki will be repudiated as the forces in south Russia, which is over whelmingly opposed to separate peace control the supplies and are working quietly but surely in the right direction.
 The fact that the embassy staffs in London are carrying on their routine work with the Dukhonin headquarters, as well 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 Petro- grad usurpers.
 According to Gavronsky and Nord- mann the situation is most delicate because of the ignorance of the mas5- es; therefore the forces which are working to put Russia again on her feet are doing so quietly. pr. Cav ronsky said:
 "We are certain that Russia will never quit the war until the allies arc victorious. Information we have re- ceived is to the effect that some more army units may go tver to the Bol-

coast manufacturers have been com pelled to recall their travellers in Ari- zona, on account of oversales and there has come intimation to State Food Ad- ministrator Timothy A. Riordan that the manufacturers, jobbers and retail CTS of the state seem to prefer a forced, rather than @ voluntary compliance with the rules that have been estab lished for the whole nations benefit. Some of the jobbers are operating un- der governmental license and there fore are doubly responsible.
 A special appeal has been issued by the sugar distribution committees of the California food administration, re- citing the great necessity that exists for all sugar that can be produced on the coast, for shipment to Europe. The necessity is immediate and should be hOnOred at once. Later when the new sugar crops have been gathered and milled, there may be modification of the restriction, but no modification is pos sible at the present time.

trator reads :

Arizona must cut down on her con- sumption of sugar. This is definite in struction from the United States Food Administration, following up an order issued October 25. Jobbers in the southwest have been selling too much sugar, retailers have been selling more than 20 pounds to individual orders and consumers have been consuming far too much. It is evident that Arizona's sweet tooth must be checked over the Christmas season, when sweets have been all too abundant in the past.
 The situation in the east is critical in the sugar line. Many cities limit purchases to one pound. while Arizona dealers have failed to appreciate they have a limit. Manufacturers in the restricted sweet lines also fail to un derstand they must cut down their use to 50 per cent of what formerly was known. This means candy manufac- turers, ice cream makers, cold-d drink bottlers and the mixing of syrups in drug stores and soda fountains.

Continue Counter Attacks

BRITISH HEADQUARTERS IN FRANCE, Dec. 1.-(By the Associated Press. )-Field Marshal Haig's troops today were continuing their counter attacks against the German forces who yesterday penetrated the British de- lenses in the Gonnelieu sector and who pushed a considerable salient into the British territory. Desperate fighting was proceeding about Gonneliu this morning.
 At an early hour of the forenoon the Germans had been pushed back over 8 considerable amount of ground which they overran yesterday. Gouzeaucourt. which the enemy held five hours and represented their extreme advance was cleared little after 3 o'clock yester- day afternoon and later the British operations resulted in the Germans be- ing pushed back from Quentin ridge to the east of Gouzeaucourt, and from Guachewood, which lies west of Vil- lers- Guislain. A little further north in the La Vacquerie section the Germans also had been forced to fall back.
 Thus far the Germans have not re- newed their attack, either in the Cos nelieu region or at the scene of their disastrous failure yesterday, along the line from Moeuvres and around Bour- lon wood to a point near Cantaing. However, it was known that they

WASHINGTON. Dec. IA vigorous protest today by Chicago packers failed to shake the food administra- tion's decision to enforce regulations which will cut packing profits to nine per cent. The packers objections were presented to Food Administrator Hoover by representatives of the five great packing houses.
 The decision that earnings shall not exceed nine per cent maxirrflm profit was reached, the packers were told after careful investigation of pre- war profits and after consideration was given to the entire situation. Pre- war profits, the investigation disclosed were slightly less than nine per cent. Any profit higher than that, MT.
