Some scrap paper found on the floor of the room, gave the police clues, de- lieved to suggest a possible motive for the crime. Some of the scraps pieced together ‘were found to describe a package shipped to Cleveland by a man in Chicago, and which the nolieo Chapin on payment of 9100. sOluce 1a vesigation developed that Dr. Chapin within the weck had withdrawn $109 from a hank.

The invaders crossed the Livenza only after a vigorous atack, and near Cittorio, the Italians were able to detain the advance. The Livenza is but a scant ten miles from the Piave, where General Cadorna probably will make a strong stand. British troops in Asia Minor continue successful op- erations.
