Many SUSPENSIONS WILL
FOLLOW COCCHI ARREST
Motorists Have Been Victims OF
Petty Grating BY New Works
Motorcycle Policemen.

New York, June Instantaneous
w with the news from Rome that
Alfredo Cocchi had confessed the
murder of Ruth Cruger 1t was report
ed on high authority that at least a
dozen more motorcycle policemen
would be suspended as an outgrowth
of the case.
Investigation begun by Inspector
Faurot at the direction Of Police Com
missioner Woods it was said, already
had disclosed alleged irregularities by
motorcycle policemen which substan-
tiate a belief that motorists have been
victims of petty graft through falsi-
fed records of summonses and arrests
for speeding and other traffic VIOLA
lions. Cocchi is believed to have been
a go-between for patrolmen in many
of these transactions.
Cocchi had many friends among the
police, especially in the motorcycle
squad and his confession, 1t is believed
may be followed by disclosures such
as the naming Of accomplices or those
who helped him to flee to Italy.
After Mrs. Cocchi had been ques-
toned in the district attorneys office
for more than two hours 1t was said
she had given material help" to the
authorities and told the district attor-
ney that twice since her husbands
disappearance the street door leading
to the cellar had been found open
after she had locked it.

TERMS NOT SETTLED

Despite the many rulnorS being printed from various sources regarding peace nego- tiations being made by the Russians and Ger mans. from dispatches received yesterday from Pctrograd, 1t seems apparent that Ger many has not yet made Russia any definite proposals. Foreign Minister Trotzky, ot the DoIshcyiki government, by his declaration that the government will fight against any offensive peace offer made by the Huns confirms this belief
 In view oi the persistent efforts o1 the BoIsheyiki to bring about a peace with the Ieutons, 1t would be interesting to know just what it would term an offensive peace offer. The foreign minister seems to have neglected to state th, important item in referring to the approaching conference. The world Is rapidv becoming convinced that the Russians desire to fight no one except each other.
 There seems to be a shortage of real au- thority throughout the country Even the revolutions which are raging against the Bol- sheviki seem to be not so much directed against the Bolsheyiks foreign policy as it is to give other leaders an opportunity to have a hand ill the piCkngs. It IS evident that no strong man has yet been produced who can control the situation for the best interests ol the entire country, and until one such comes forward, Russia will probably re main in its present chaotic condition.
 Despite the Warlike assertions of Trot- zky, the opinion that the Bolsheviki Is but a tool of the German government seems to be well founded. It has played into the German hands with too much ease and too great a simplicity to suit the principles of lovers of fair dealings.
 While the advent of the Bolshevki proves that some of the people can be fooled some oi the time, it also demonstrates that it is difficult to fool all the people. And the mum Der oi people in Russia who seem to be grad

ITAI.Y'S HEROIC DEFENSE

Every hour that the line holds on that ccvcn-mile front between the Brcnta and the Piave increases the odds that the Italians will make no further retreat Outnumbcrcd and facing the very pick ot the central pow CTS troops, General Di Gorgio's fourth army is not only holding, but is striking back in vicious counter attacks They have held the invaders until the Franco British armies have come up These armies were hurried from France to forever block the gate by which the Hun hopes to come into the Italian plains as the Hun came hundreds of years ago.
 In few days one of the gravest dan gers that has menaced the allied cause since September of 1914 should be over. While Italy had planned to make last stand along the line of the Adige, this may no longer be necessary. Italy unaided, has fought off the imminent ruin that brooded over her plains since German propaganda and downright JrcaChery paved the way for the TeutOns rush in the north Now that help has come not by battalions and regiments, but by ar mies the Piave line may hold against the best efforts of the Hun. The full strength of the flower of the 1euton armies is now being hurled against the Italian arms. These efforts, while successful in a minor way, have not yet affected the security ot the Italian positions It IS even possible that the allied forces may roll back the German rush as it rolled bsc}; a furious Austrian advance near the Asiago months ago, There are entente stratcgists who maintain that the Germanic hordes in the north Italian plains have been delivered into the hands of the Franco Brit ish-ltallan armies.
