Clemenceau Is Next
In that phrase many regarded the
British statesman as demanding resto-
ration of all of Alsace, but only part
Of Lorraine.
Before the joint statement, there was
belief here that every one of the allied
prem,ers would outline his particular
nations views-the preliminary fire for
the general political offensive which
would be directed against Germany from
every quarter.
President Wilson has outlined Ameri-
cas- war aims. Premier Llyod George
has stated Britain's. Premier Clemen-
ceau is looked to as the next speaker
and there was principal interest eX-
pressed here today in what he would
have to say as to Alsace and Lorraine
As to Italy, complete harmony with
Premier Lloyd Georges application of
allied policies is expected. limitations
recently received have given hint that
the present government would be salts
fed with the restoration of Trentino and
Trieste-and these aims are covered by
Lloyd Georges speech.
AS to Russia, the universal belief here
was that Premier Lloyd George had in
serted a wedge between the negot!a-
tions-which the inter-allied or joint
statement Of war aims would later
widen into an impossible breach.

war work has been especially heavy.
Temporary local demands for labor
around cantOnment sites and army

this has been to create the belief that
we are actually facing a shortage OF

There has been a lot of hysteria
about the farm labor situation" wilcox

fact that we have lacked accurate in
formation as to farm labor reserves
and to Just when and where these
should be supplied
That information is what we are
getting now by taking a survey Of the
farm labor problem, and so far it has
shown no real evidence Of an absolute
shortage. But allaying temporary To-

and promoting better cooperation be-

MEANS IS CHARGED With
MIsAPPR0PRIATING FUNDS
Affidavit Comes as Aftermath
to Sensational Murder
Trial at Concord

NEW YORK, Jan e.-As an after
math Of the recent trial of CASTOR B.
Means, acquitted at Concord, N C, of
the murder Of Mrs. Maude a King. an
affidavit was fled in the supreme court
here today alleging. in effect. the ap-
preparation Of funds belonging TO Mrs.
King and her estate by Means for the
benefit Of himself and wife.
The affidavit was made by the tenn
pOrary administrator OF Mrs. Kings
estate in an action in which it was
sought TO prevent Mrs. Means from
drawing out money deposited in her
name in the Corn Exchange bank here.
The bank refused 10 honor a check OF
hers against the account on being noti-
fed that the United States court for
the Western district North Carolina
had Issued an order restraining Mr.. and
Mrs. Means from interfering with any
OF the property of Mrs. Kings estate
Mrs Means began suit against the
bank TO compel il to honor her check
but BY an order Of the supreme court
here, issued today on the strength OF
the affidavit, the temporary administra-
tor Of Mrs Kings estate is substitu-
ted for the bank as defendant in the
suit.
The affidavit alleges that sudden
change from humble circumstances tC
apparent prosperity came to Means and
his wife shortly after he became Mrs
Kings confidential agent, handling sums
for her aggregating several hundred
thousand dollars. II Is alleged that he
collected these sums, but that the rec
