lie the evidence they had discovered, It was learned that it tended to bear out the story of Miss Louise LaRue, who jumped from ber window. recently when she said her life was threatened by men she accuses with being connected with the white slavers with whom Cocchl worked. According to Commissioner 'Wallstein, the police investigation has only begun. He declared that every angle of the activities, or inactivities of the department would be gone into thoroughly , until the responsibility for Cocchl's escape had been fully established. So far the testimony of some of the members, of . the police department has been described as "passing the buck." and while the commissioner said this might be more or less true, the witnesses from the police department might find the investigation gradually closing .in on a small circle of . the members of the department. Already the testimony has shown that the records of the complaint had been altered regarding the time the disappearance of the Cruger girl was reported to the police, and it was said this phase of the investigation would be gone Into more fully today.

Soldiers Work In Fields In 7heir - Leisure Periods BEHIND THE BRITISH LINES IN FRANCE, June 28. A special department attached to British Headquarters has been created for the purpose of superintending agricultural . operations in the areas evacuated by the Germans. Work in the fields by soldiers is largely voluntary. As details of soldiers leave the trenches for the rear, they are invited to spend their leisure in agricultural work, which in the spring air and sun of France, is one of the pleasantest recreations imaginable. Soldiers who have once lived on a farm or have done farm work "back . home," generally jump at the opportunity, and it is surprising how many city men are eager to take up work in the fields, even preferring it to sports such as football and field athletics. The soldier-farmers are well provided with horses, usually artillery or transport horses from the reseves. The Bitish Agricultural Military staff las gone so far as to secure its soldier-farmers cultivators and machinery of British models which are familiar to them. Seeds and necessary fertilizers are also provided in abundance. The army will cultivate sometiling over 30,000 acres this year in the liberated Somme area alone.
