BRITISH DRIVEN BACK ABOUT TWO MILES British Recovered a Portion of It in Counter-Attacks. The Germans in a violent offensive over the entire front where the Brit- ish made their notable gains last week have pushed back General Byng's troops at several points. Bspecially severe was the attack between the Bourlon Wood and Moeuvres, where the British line under its impetus was driven back to the vicinity of the Bapaume-Cambrai road, north of Graincourt—a distance of about two miles. Likewise, on the southern base the ememy drove through from Gon- nelieu to Gouzeaucourt—another two miles. The village of Lavacquerie was captured by the Germans, but later-in a counter-attack was recovered. Other counter-attacks have driven the ene- my from Gouzeaucourt and the ridge to the east. Hard fighting is still in progress Guard From All the States of the Country Have Arrived in France. Compatative quiet reigns along the battle fronts except for heavy bom- bardments on various sectors. Even on the Italian front, the flerce en- gagements by infantry, in which men came into hand to hand _encounters, have turned into duels with the big guns in the hill regions of the Vene- tian plain and along the middle and lower Piave river. Around Cambral on the French front, where last week the British forces under General Byng, made not- able advances toward the important railway junction virtual quiet prevails So far as the infantry is concerned, except for an attack by the Germans Dear Gonnelien. at the southerly base of the salient formed by Byng's ad- vance. No details have been received regarg- ing this attack. In Palestine on the line extending from the northwest of Jerusalem to the sea the Turkish forces facing the troops under General Allenby are showing considerable activity, but as yet have made no manoceuvre in the nature of a general attack. Several Jocal fights have taken place, however, and these according to General Allen- by, have had results favorable to his men. Following Germany’s announced will- ingness to reat with the Russian Bol- sheviki for an armistice having as nts purpose ultimate peacs comes the statement that Austria-Hungary is likewise disposed. Already the gov- ernment of the dual monarchy has sent an official reply accepting the present Russian government’s wireless propos- al for negotiations. Unofficial reports say that the Russo-German plenipo- tentiaries will meet at noon Sunday on the Russian northern battle front and thence proceed by train to the German headquarters at Brest-Litovsk to discuss the Bolsheviki project. The letter of the Marquis of Lans- downe, one of Great Britain’s leading statesmen, pleading for a re-statement of the war aims of the entente allies and favoring an attempt to secure peace before the “prolongation of the war leads to the ruin of the civilized world,” is still the theme for bitter discussian in England. Lord Cecil Robert, the blockade minister, and An- drew Bonar-Law, repudiated the let- ter of the Marquis of Lansdowne, des- cribing it as a “disaster,” while the meeting in a resolution condemned the utterances of the marquis. Units of the national guard from all states of the country have arrived in France. Some of the men already are training within soung of the guns on the battle front.

MOTHER OF MRS. KING TESTIFIES AGAINST MEANS Means’ “Body Guard” Tried to Block Her Entrance Into Court Room. Concorn, N. C., Nov. 30.—Mrs. Anna L. Robinson, the aged mother of Mrs. Maude A. King, testified for the prose- cution today at the trial of Gaston B. Means, charged with the murder of her daughter. ‘When Mrs. Robinsor was being tak- en into court in her wheel c»”ir, Henry Deitch, known as Means' “body guar met the party at the door, raised his hands and cried: “Don’t take that woman in there.” Court attendants brushed the man aside, endinz the second cffort to halt the proceeding of the gray-haired and feeble witness. The first had come a few moments earlier when Mrs. Mary C. Melvin, sistef of the dead woman, who sat with the defense at the pre- liminary trial, tried to reach her moth- er when she was brought up the stair- way. Mrs. Robinson testified that the sig- pature on a document used by Means to revoke a trust fund of $125,000 held in the Merchants Loan and _Trust Company of Chicago, for Mrs. Robin- son and Mrs. King, was not her sig- nature. Later, however. on cross-ex- amination, she failed to identify her signature on checks pavable to her and on which she admitted she had re- ceived the money. The witness told a long story of how during the two vears preceding her daughter's death at Blackwelder Spring, near here, the night of last August 29, Means hal been instru- mental in keeping Mrs. King away from her. If she and her daughter did meet_by chance, Mrs. Robinson_testi- fied, Means always interfered. On one occasion, she said, Means moved her from a hotel on short notice, saying that a woman had arrived at the ho- tel who was liable to “give them trouble.” Mrs. Robinson told the court she was not advised of her daughter’s death until two hours before the body reach- ed her in'Asheville, N. C. When testi- fying to this, she bacame faint and the trial was halted unti] she could be revived. The aged woman was so feeble that her voice carried only a few feet and the jurors, judge and counsel had rreat dificulty in hearing her. Finally the court stenographer was placed be- side her chair and he read her an- swers. Several times the court admonish- ed Mrs. Robinson against expanding her answers to cover inatters not re- ferred to in questions of counsel Besides Mrs. Robinson, three wit- nesses testified for the state during the, day. Dt. Otto Scaultze, patholo- gist attached to the office of District Attorney Swann in New York, gave it as his opinion that it was impossi- ble for Mrs. King to have inflicted the would that caused her death. A. Leonard Johnson, recretary of the Merchants Loan and Trust Company. told of the creation of the $125000 trust fund for Mrs Robinson and Mrs. King, from which the former receiv- ed 3600 a month and on, which it was subsequent_revocated on'a paper pre- sented by Means and purporting to be signed by Mrs. Robinson - and Mrs. King.
