NEW HAVEN, Conn, March s -
Coroner Ell Mix today completed his
Investigation Of the circumstances
surrounding the suicide OF Lillian
May Cook. The coroner said he
would file a report on Londay stat
ing that Miss Cook came to her death
by her own hand and that she. and
she alone, was therefore responsible
for her act. 8s.si sfa
An official connected with the in

who had performed the autopsy pon
Miss Cook had found certain condi-
Gated preparations for an operation

LONDON, March s6.-The end OF the
thirty first week of the war and the
first signs of better weather condi-
Etions, after a hard winter, find the
allied armies in the western theater
nearing readiness for that concerted
onslaught on the Germans in the
preparation OF which General Joffre
and Field Marshal Sir John French
have been doing SO much spade work
during the last -four: months. From
the sea to Arras the British and the
Belgian armies appear to have with
stood successfully all the attempts
OF the Germans to break through
their lines, while from Arras to the
+Vosges the French continue to ADVANCE
slowly This is especially true in the
Champagne district, although the
skillful German commanders exact a
heavy price for every step gained in
this section.
The unqualified optimism with
which, jud ging from the trend OF the
CONNIE nt in the London newspaper.
today, the approaching gigantic
struggle is regarded in Great Britain,
France and Rus STA. can be attributed
largely to the remarkable recupera
tive powers shown by the troops OF
Emperor Nicholas. These soldiers, in
spite of the furious blows Of the Ger
man armies under Won Hindenburg,
have been able not only to bring Teu-
tonic progress TO q standstill but to
push the invaders back along virtually
the whole front until at one point at
least it is admit ed in Berlin the fight
ing has again moved very near to the
East Prussian frontier. s. In the south
also the Russians appear to have
tfEhtened their grip on Ga1icia in the
last few days and they are occupying
the cFuWn1and OF BuknEina in force.
The Russian victory over the Ger
manic allies in the valleys OF Lon1nitz
and the Lukva, where they surrounded
10000 Austrians, as was announced
yesterd -, must, It is believed in Lon

Memphis, Nov. 22.-With every county heard from in the state of Tennessee in the primary held Sat urday for the democratic nomination for United States senator, Congress man K. D. Mcclellan of Memphis leads his nearest opponent, former Gov. Malcolm R. Patterson, by D. 6SS votes.
 In many of the counties returns are not complete owing to several reasons. First, in many of the East Tennessee republican counties there were precincts where elections were not held, as this was the first time in the history of the state that a popular vote was taken on the Unit ed States senatorship.
 In some of the counties in West Tennessee returns are not complete owing to the slowness of the count or lack of holding elections in coun- try precincts.
 Certain it is that there will be a run-off between MT. Mcclellan and MT. Patterson on Dec. IS, the only detail in the news lacking being the exact lead gained by the congress- man from the tenth district.
 The run-off between McKellar and Patterson will be held Dec. 15.
 Plans for a joint campaign are still in embryo.
 The problematical thing in con- nection with Saturdays vote is where the Lea vote will go.
 Managers of both McKellar and Lea are, at the first blush, chary in making predictions, but it is con- ceded that the Lea vote will be the determining factor in the run-off. The many angles of Tennessee poli- tics and the varying tides of opin- ion change so rapidly that to ven- ture a prediction on the outcome of the second primary seemed to be a point which all politicians wanted to avoid yesterday just following a primary about as strenuous as the state of Tennessee has ever before staged.
