The police have no definite clue

in the head, crushing her skull ana
then finished his job by strangling
her with her own silk stockings
which he tied tightly around her
neck
rnirers were found in the boudolr
of the model, and these were taken
bv the detectives and are beng
closely guarded. Meanwhile the po-
lice are using every effort to ascer-
tain lust what relations existed be-
tween the woman and these men,
who appear to have been her mt
mate friends.

followed a tense, heroic struggle on

life.

none and holds concerts, lectures,
movies, Bible classes, dramatic enter

to shield him from score of difficult
and dangerous temptations and follow
him right up to the front line trench

books and Magazines; hundreds vert
writing letters home. Behind the
raised counter at one end three or four
young men were busy passing out
notepaper and envelopes - selling
stamps and weighing parcels, which
the men were sending home. One OF
the soldiers said to me as l stood in
the tent used chiefly by men from

Fine, clean-cut. outstanding fellows,
