MAI DE KING Except For Bombardments and Small Recoiuioitering, yuite Prevails All Along French Front. The period of virtual inactivity continues in France and Belgium, ex cept for reciprocal bombardments in various sectors and hero and there small operations by reconnoitering parties. Only on the northern Italian front have there been sanguinary en counters between the opposing infan try, and in these the Austro-German forces again were defeated in at tempts to advance toward the Vene tian plains. Caprille Hill, at the head of the San Lorenzo valley, where last week the Italian forces were forced to cede ground, again has been attacked by the enemy, but the operations brought him nothing but heavy cas ualties as he was driven back to his former line. German naval forces again have made a foray into the North sea and surprised a convoy of merchant ships, sinking one British and five neutral vessels and four mine-sweepers. Of two British destroyers escort ing the vessels one was sunk and the other damaged. The German forces, so frr as is known, consisted of four destroyers. Whither any of their vessels were hit has not been made known. That German warcraft recently have been operating close to the English coast has been made known officially in the house of commons by announcement that on December 12, two neutral nterchantment and a trawler were sunk off the mouth of the Tyne river. The official text of the armistice between the Russians and the Teu tonic allies confirms the unofficial re ports that it is to run from Decem ber 17 until January 14. The com pact embraces all the fighting fronts where Russian troops have been en gaged and also extends to the naval forces of the contracting forces. ADAM IjATIKKR HAS (JOT MAKINGS OF A LAWYER Dnikey Skin Plyer Took Charge of His Own Case liefoic Judge W. O. LciuiiioikI, But Lost Out. (By HENRY RELK.) Tom Watson, the Georgia anti draft fanatic, hasn't anything on Adam Latiker, an ape-looking darkey of Union, when it comes to act in 5 as one's own lawyer. Recently Adam was hauled before Judge W. O. Le'm mond for stealing a bicycle, and as his finances were slim, and lawyers' fees high, he concluded to act as his own attorney. Will Garrett, the negro from whom the bicycle was stolen, was the first witness to testify. He claimed that Adam had broken Into his house by way of the back door and stolen the wheel while he was at his mother's. Then came the cro.is-examination by Adam: "Didn't I meet you over at your mother's that evening you and Hun and Joseph English, and that gold tooth brother of yours, and you all scd less go down in de wood and hab a leetle skin game?" "Yes," the witness promptly re plied. (Comment of cross-examiner: "Ugh, now youse is gittln' to It!") "Didn't dat gold-tooth brudder of yourn win fifty cents from me, and then I say to him, 'nigger, yousc am some skinner,' and he says, 'Dls ain't no skin at all. Come over to de house tonight if youse wants to see some real skinnin'T" "Ye3." "And didn't I go over dare dat night and atter I had already won de bicycle seberal times and was jest warmin' up to de cards, didn't you say, 'swln fast, de lie Is gittln" low?' " "Yes." According to Adam, after they had played nearly all night and he had lost his money, he Just went in and took tfe bicycle, as he had won It several times. Adam didn't hardly prove to the satisfaction of the court that the bicycle belonged to him just because he had won it at cards, but if he had been placed under the tutelage of one of Monroe's able lawyers at an early age he might have made a fairly good lawyer. Christina Vacation In the Public . School. The inquiry, "How long shall our Christmas vacation be?", is frequent ly made of me by teachers and others. In answer to this question, allow me to say that I would suggest not more than one week. I would say close school for the Christmas holidays Friday. Dec. 21st, and open up again Monday. Dec. 31st. I don't think It wise to give a great deal of time at Christmas on account of the unusual demand for labor on the farm due in a measure to war conditions. All will doubtless realize that this de mand for farm labor must be met by the school boys, to a great extent. Therefore they will be needed Just as toon as work begins In the spring. The teachers meeting which we expected to have on Saturday, the 15th Inst, we had to call off on ac count of the Inclement weather, and we hope to hold It on January 12th. The same program practically as the one for our December meeting will be carried out. I wish to express to all the teach ers of the county my best wishes for a Merry Christmas and A Happy New Year Verv respectfully. R. N. NISBET. Co. Supt I ... The Enemy Suffers Severe Iwes Rut Milken Desterate Effort to Break Line. Notwithstanding the terrible losse3 they have sustained, the German and Austro - Hungarian amilej in the mountainous region of Northern Italy continue their efforts to break the Italian line and open a passage way to the plains below. In France and Belgium there U little military activity, except for small engagements by outposts and raiding contingents and artillery duels. The nearest approach to at tacks in force were made by the Ger mans Saturday night in the Cham pagne region of France and to the north of the Chemin des Dame3. In both of these the Germans were worsted by the French. A small British maneuver south of Chambrai resulted in the capture of a few Ger man prisoners and a machine gun. AUSTRAIN3 GAIN A HILL Between the Brenta and Piave riv ers in the Italian highlands hard fighting coutinues without cessation. The enemy to the east of the Brenta has been able, by throwing huge num bers of men into the fray and seem ingly disregarding the enormous cas ualties that are being Inflicted upon hiin, to advance his lines to Caprille hill, a dominating point at the head of the San Lorenzo valley, which leads to the Venetian plains. Here, however, he had been forced to stop under the terrific defense of the Italians, who evidently have massed their forces In order to bar the way to a further advance. In the valley itself and on the slopes on either side of it, well-tried Alpinl regiments are stationed to exact a heavy toll for every inch of ground taken from them. WON IN THIRD ATTACK Prior to gaining the summit of Ca prille the invaders twice were sum marily repulsed, but for their final attack they brough up heavy rein forcements and the valiant defenders were compelled to give ground. The agreement for an armistice be tween the Bolshevik! government In Russia and the Teutonic allies has been signed. It will run from Mon day until January 14, and then will continue In force automatically un less seven days' notice of its discon tinuance Is given. On the signing of an armistice peace negotiations begin. Marriage of Mr. Gillfin and Miss Green. A beautiful but quiet home wed ding was solemnized at the home of Mr. and Mrs. T. W.

One British and five neutral merchantment, a British destroyer and four mine sweepers have been sunk In the North sea by German naval forces In an at tack on a convoy bound from Scot land to Norway. Sir Eric Geddes, first lord of the admiralty, announced today. The total tonnage of the lot merchantment was 8.000. Eighty-eight Scandinavians, two of whom are women, and ten British were rescued by four British destroy ers which hastened to the scene. Oth er survivors reached Norway in boats. The merchant vessels tfe being convoyed by the destroyers Partridge and Pelew. The Partridge was sunk and the Pelew was disabled, but eventually she was brought safely to port. The enemy then attacked the convoy, sinking six merchantment and four armed trawlen. ALLIES, DESPITE INVERSES, MARCHING TOWARD YCTORY No Pence Overture!, Warns IJoyd (ieorge. While Prussian Military Spirit Is Drunk With Roast fulness. That steady progress towards the desired goal U being made by the al lies, despite some untoward occur rences, is the firm conviction of Premier Lloyd George, he declared at London Friday. It la because of this fact, the pre mier said, that he would regard peace overtures to Prussia at the moment when her military spirit was drunk with boasifulness as a betrayal of the trust of himself and his col leagues. The premier's words were: "It is because I am firmly convinc ed that despite some untoward events, despite discouraging appear ances, we are making steady prog ress toward the goal that I would regard peace overtures to Prussia at the very moment of the Prussian mili tary spirit is drunk with boastfulness us a betrayal of the great trust with which my colleagues and myself have been charged." AMERICA TAKES UP FIGHT If Russia persists in her present policy, the premier pointed out, the withdrawal by the enemy from the east of a third of his troops must release hundreds or thousands of men and masses of material to at tack Great Britain. France and Italy. "It would be folly," he added, "to underrate the danger, equal folly to exaggerate it and the greatest folly of all not to face it." "If the Russian democracy has de cided to abandon the struggle against military autocracy, the American de mocracy is taking It up." Germany's victories were emblaz oned to the world, the premier said, but her troubles did not appear in bulletins. Something was known of them, however. The deadly grip of the British navy was having its effect and the valor or the troops was mak ing an Impression tfhlch would tell in the end. He said those who dur ing the past fortnight were organiz ing a nervous breakdown In the na tion were the same as those who re cently were organizing an hysterical shout over the Flanders victories. AGREES WITH THE PRESIDENT Mr. Lloyd Georgo said he was glad to understand that Lord Lansdowne's recent letter had been misunderstood and that Lord Lansdowne was 'in agreement with President Wilson. "I also," the premier declared, "agree with President Wilson and do not desire to force a controversy where none existed." Premier Lloyd George said that a call must be made on the nation for great sacrifices and more fighting men were needed until the American forces arrive to offset the allies by the defection of Russia and the re verses of Italy. The allies nov must defend all fronts against the enemy and have a mobile army for any point of emergency, the premier said, and he added that the allies had a superiori ty of man-power in France on the battlefront, and there were consider able British reserves at home. Premier Lloyd George, who was speaking at the dinner of the Grey's Iun benchers, said: "If this Is the worst moment it Is because Russia has stepped out and America Is only preparing to come In. Every hour that passes will see the gap formed by the retirement of the Russians filled by the valiant sons of the great republic. Germany knows it and Austria knows It, hence the desperate efforts that they are making to force the issue before America is ready." NO HALF, WAY HOUSE "I warn the nation to watch the men who think there is a half-way house between victory and defeat," the premier ad monished. "There are the men who think you can end the war now by some sort of what they call peace by setting up a league of nations. That is the right policy after victory; without victory It would be a farce." Continuing his discussion of a league of nations, Lloyd George said it could not be had by a negotiated peace at this time. "It is Idle to talk of security to be won by such feeble means," he assert ed. "There is no security in any land without the certainty of punish ment. There is no protection in a state where the criminal is more powerful than the law. "To end a war entered upon to enforce a treaty, without reparation for the infringement of that treaty, merely by entering into a new and sweeping and comprehensive treaty, would be a farce in the setting of a tragedy." Victory, declared the premier, was a question of tonnage.

Jury Returned Verdict of Not Guilty at 10:22 Sunday .Morning, and Defendant Is Now a Free Man. Concord, Dec. 16. "Not guilty" was the verdict of the jury in the case of Gaston B. Means, charge! with the murder of Mrs. Maude A. King, widow of a Chicago millionaire, who was shot to death at Blackwelder spring, near Concord, on the evening of August 29, last. The Jury made krown its verdict at 10:22 this morning, after having deliberated since 7 o'clock Saturday night. The decision was made known to Judge E. B. Cline in the Cabarrus county court house in the presence of the defendant, his wife, and moth er, representatives or counsel and others who had learned the Jury was about to make Its report. NO DEMONSTRATION PERMITTED There was no demonstration, prob ably prevented by a warning Judge Cline had given before hearing the Jury's report, accomppanying it with instructions to Sheriff Caldwell to ar rest anyone who made any demon stration. However, a little later, when the prisoner had been formally discharged and the court adjourned, Means was surrounded by relatives, attorneys and friends, who hastened to shake his hand and congratulate him upon his acquittal. SISTERS WEEP FOR JOY : After his release, accompanied by his wife, Means left the court room and went to the home of his father. A little later he reappeared on the streets of the town, where scores of friends extended congratulations. As he and Mrs. Means were leaving the courthouse, they met one of his sis ters, who had just arrievd, and the two women rushed into one another's am. s, weeping for Joy. Probably no trial ever conducted in North Carolina has held the wide in terest or the Means case, nor has any brought more attendants from other states, a number of witnesses from Chicago and New York testifying. Assistant District Attorney John T. Dooling of New York city assisted l. the prosecution, coming to Concord at the request of Solicitor Clement, because both Means and Mrs. King Wife -regarded as citizens of that state. Mr. Dooling brought with him a mass of papers and documents of va rious kinds seized at Means' apart ment in New York. These Mr. Dool ing took with him when he left for New York last night, some of them being subject to the order or, the New York courts. It has been rumored that in the event of acquittal of the charge of murder. Means might bo prosecuted in New York on other charges. When asked about this, Solicitor Hayden Clement said this afternoon that he did not anticipate any such nction, but that he could not speak with au thority. STORY OF THE DEATH OF WID OW OF MILLIONAIRE. Mrs. King, who was on a visit to Means' realtives met death at Black welder spring, early on the evening or August 29 last. With Means and a party of his friends she had stop ped while on an automobile drive, presumably that she might practice shooting with a small pistol Means had bought for her. Means and the woman were alono at the time, Cap tain W. S. Bingham and Afton Means, a brother of Gaston Means, having walked down the road to shoot rab bits. VERDICT OF ACCIDENTAL DEATH A coroner's inquest accepted the statement of Gaston Means that she shot herself accidentally. After the woman's body was taken to Chicago for burial, charges of foul play were made. There the coroner's physician declared that the wound in the back of the woman's head could not have been self-inilicted. The Investigation shifted to New York, where Mrs. King had resided for several years and where Means had handled her business affairs. Search of the apartments there of Mrs. King and her sister and Mr. and Mrs. Gaston Means disclosed, accord ing to New York officials, that Means had misappropriated the woman's money and also that he was connect ed with German agents. Documents seized in the apartments were cited by New York police as proof of these assertions. LARGE FORTUNE DfSAPPEARED. Mrs. King had Inherited approxi mately $1,000,000 from her second husband, the late James C. King of Chicago and New York, and Chicago officials declared nearly all or this sum had vanished during the time Means was connected with the wo man's affairs. It also was asserted Means was preparing to offer for probate an alleged second will of James C. Kine, which would give an additional $2,000,000 to Mrs. King. North Carolina officials reopened the Investigation and at a hearing in September Means was hound over to the grand jury and Inter indletei. STATE'S THEORY OF AFFAIR. At the trial, which began Novem ber 26, the Slate contended that Means had "looted" the woman's fortune and killed her to escape "an early accounting." Witnesses as serted that Means had kept the wo man a virtual prisoner in the Chicago Beach Hotel. The defense denied this and offered evidence to show that Mrs. King approved Means' specula tions with her money. Means said on the stand that he had Investigated alleged neutrality NATION-WIDE PROHIBITION WAS CARRIED IN THE HOUSE Slight Difference Must I5e Adjusted, And Amendment Will Then lie Submitted to legislatures. Washington, Dec. 17. Nation wide prohibition won in the house to day, and only the adjustment of slight difference in resolutions be tween the house and senate now sh.nds In the way of submitting to state legislatures an amendment to the federal constitution forbidding the manufacture, sale or Importa tion of Intoxicating liquor for bever age purposes in the United States or its territories. The vote in the house, taken after a day of debate before crowded gal leries, was 282 to 128, with the par ties dividing almost evenly. The mar gin for prohibition was eight votes more than two-thirds vote. Both wets and drys had been pre dicting victory all day, and it was not until the last few names had been called that the anti-prohibition forces conceded their defeat. When Speak er Clark announced the result, the victors were joined by the galleries in such a demonstration as is rarely per mitted in the house. Former Secre tary Bryan, an interested spectator nearly all day, appeared on the floor and joined in receiving consratula tlons with Representative Webb of North Carolina, who had led the fight. The resolution adopted by the house Is Identical with that passed by the senate last August, except that it give3 the states seven years in stead of six in which to ratiry the amendment. Senator Sheppard, au thor or the resolution, predicted to night that the senate would accept the amendment tomorrow. He said he had assurances that the seven year period would be approved, and that he did not believe a roll call necessary. A Community Christmas Shall We Have One. To the Editor or The Journal: It is generally understood that the churches or Monroe have abandoned their usual custom of having "trees," or other methods of giving Christmas presents to their Sunday schools, etc., and this Is certainly very fitting un der existing circumstances, when so many are feeling the effects of the "war conditions". As we have been able to Interpret the sentiment of our city It seems to be unanimously in favor of a "Community Christ mas'" The opportunity as to plans for carrying this out has been so limited as yet that the details can not be given in this notice. Speaking in general, however, it Is desired that all our citizens who can do so, independent of all organiza tions, contribute whatever they can of food, clothing, toys, shoes, fuel, money, in fact anything that will help to make a "Happy Christ mas" for some one else, who, because of the "stress" under which we are just now living may be compelled to pars through t he season of "good cheer" even comfortless, to say noth ing of being cheerless. A search through the attic will no doubt discover many articles that are serving no other purpose thnn to occupy space, when those same things would be a blessing to fomeone else. It is suggested that all contribu tions for this cause be sent to the Red Cross room in the court house sometime during Monday, the 24th, when a committee to do so will designate to whom they shall go. This will be doing "the greatest good to the greatest number." Let everyone do their part without further notification as this is design ed to be a "community" affair in every sense of the woru. If any person has contributions to make, and are not able to bring them to the Red Cross room, if they will let the pastor of the Methodist church know of the fact, he will "Dodge" around after them, and the Baptist and Presbyterian pastors can even af-"Fprd" to do likewise. Let us make this the most blessed Christmas that Monroe has ever had for He hath said "It is more blessed to give than to receive." H. E. Gurney. Play at Wesley Chuixd.

MONROE HOY WAS AMONG HALIFAX RELIEF WORKERS Young Frank Sikes In n letter to His Father, Giic n Account of The Terrific Explosion. Among the Halifax relier workers was a Monroe boy, jouug Frank Sikes, son or Mr. Vann Sikes, who is in the United States navy. His ship was anchored about three miles from the point where the ammuni tion ship exploded, and in a letter to his father he gives an account of the untold disaster which followed. Extracts from Ms letter read: "We were lying out in the harbor about three or three mid one-half miles from the shore when the ex plosion occurred. The force of it jarred out many of our window glasses, and knocked down several of our doors. We were also shook up considerably. "Shells were living all around us. bursting in the water. For a moment it appeared as if Germany had trans ported the seen- of her actiiiie3 ov er here, but we were not very much frightened. "Halifax is a city or about 1S5.000, and I don't believe there is a glass window lert in a store or tenement building. The greatest part of the buildings on the north side are shat tered to the ground. "A train w;:s passing within a mile or the explosion and it was pretty well filled with passengers, but all were killed but two from the force of the shock. So you can readily see how terrific was the explosion. "As my ship is a passenger boat, they are using it for a hospital. Since 12 o'clock twenty-three have died, and it is not yet 6 p. m. They are still bringing in the wounded by the ship load. "On the north side one can see men, women and children with either their head or arm or leg torn off. We found one woman half burled In wreckage with her chest wripped op en. Several men around the navy yard were found in a similar fix. "We found one girl who wasn't badly hurt. She asked me to look In her pocket and see If there was 55 cents in it. as she had been sent on an errand and didn't want to lose the money. She said she did not realize her danger. The whole town Is n'ow on fire. "One man who witnessed the Chi cago fire said the Halifax disaster was much worse. "By hard fighting the powder magazine in the navy yard was sav ed. If it had blown up Halifax would have been completely destroyed. "The school house was over a mile away, and when we got there we re moved some of the wreckage and found the teacher and puplis still sitting at their desks as If school was going on. The teacher, however, and the greater part of the children, were dead. One liitle girl was found ly ing over her desk, having been struck by a falling rarter. "We saw six people burn to death in the fire without being able to do a thing for thorn. After we could pas through the streets we saw bones here and there, and in some places we saw bodies with their heads burn ed off completely. "The force of the explosion blew off the deck of one ship. Another ship, about two or three hundred feet long, was beached. Thc.s may be able to get it afloat again. "In some cases entire families were killed, while only one or two mem bers escaped in others. At first we thought our boilers had blown up. but we learned better when we saw the shells exploding nil around us. And looking to the north side, we saw steam and gas escaping and knew that an ammunition ship had ex ploded. "Such a mass of smoke, stem and gas one has never sen before. Old sailors say they have never seen or heard of anything to equal the Halifax disaster. "The Chief Boatswain got a kodack picture of the explosion, and if it Is good I'll get one and send it home. It was so dark In the north side for awhile that one couldn't see one's hand in front of oneself. You may think nil of this Is an exxasieration, but it Is true. I can hear the wound ed groarin.n; now. "Had our boat been within a mile of the explosion we would probably be on the bottom of the bay by now. We are now at the navy yard dock takinz aboard the wounded. "I have to stand watch over the dead for four hours in the morning from 4 to 8 o'clock. And you ean bet if one of the corpse's groan I'll make hash out of the Old Colony getting off her. Remember there are 23 dead, and by the time I go on the watch the number will probably amount to 50. They are nil In a corner on the lower deck. They are lying on matresse3 with blankets thrown over them. "Since writing the first part of this letter, the number of dead has creep ed up to 2.500 and 5,000 wounded. The fire Is still raging, and the prop erty loss is estimated at $30,000, 000."
