ner William knight, who exhumed the

At the same time it is predicted evil
dence will be presented 10 the Coro-
ner's jury which will result in the ar
rest Of 4 prominent Philadelphia as
n material witness in connection with
the murder mystery. Coroner knights
theory is said TO be that the girl was
slain as a result OF blsckmail plot
which involves a Philadelphia Office
holder.
The purpose of the elimination OF
the body of Lewis was TO examine
marks on Lewis's hands which. ac-
cording to the police theory were
made b. the girl: teeth when she
fought for her life. Two Philadelphia
dentists. who studied photographs Of
the wounds on Lewis's hands. declared
they could not be teeth marks. The
police refused the dentists permission
TO examine the body and rushed II
out Of town an hour after IL arrived
from Atlantic City.
Denouncing the police as bunglers
and declaring his belief in Lewis's in
nocence, Coroner knight put detec-
tives to work week ago TO upset the

born a Prussian and achieved his mill
tary education in the German army as
conscript, but he was a soldier by
trade. and fifteen years ago, when his
service IN the German army was ended,
he wanted to see some real fighting and
went to Africa and enlisted in the
French Foreign Legion. After several
years of service in Africa he was nat
uralized as q Frencnman and became
an officer Of Chasseurs Alpins. He
held that position when the war broke
and despite his German birth and
strong German accent he entered the
war as a French officer.
Three weeks ago his brigade was on
the Somme. MUllers colonel sent for
him.

weakening their entire front. The
military material collected by Russia
at immense cost and labor has been
or will be used up on the Rumsnisn
front, instead Of being accumulated
for a spring offensive on the Russian
front.
On the other hand. the German
campaign in the Balkans was a far
sighted, cooperative action and a sue
cessful introduction and preparation
for the coming campaign. Although
the Central Powers were forced 70
erect a new front on the inner Ru-
manian line. that move made possible
the contraction OF q powerful army
and pointed the way to successes more
complete than the TeUtonic military
had perhaps dreamed Of.
As Germany only wishes to secure
her pre-war position and is not aim
ing at conquest, il would be most res-
sonabe for the Allies TO make peace
with her at the present moment, in

of interest in Russo-American CONNER
cial relations. The American Amoasss-
dor. David K. Francis, returned to-day
from a semi-oiIicial visit TO MOSCOW
where reception was given IN ms
honor by the Russo-American Chamber
of Commerce.

the sentiments expressed 10 the Cnam'
Der OF Commerce. Mr.. Francis, IN
statement here called attention 10 Vhe
growing knowledge and confidence OF
America in Russian resources, but sara
that commercial relations could only pc
securely established and properly de.
veloped by a greater interchange OF
commodities.
Closer Relations Advisable
America has been selling much more
10 Russia since the beginning OF the
war than she has been buying" con-
tinued the ambassador, "but Russia can
produce many things which America
can use. There is no reason why the
people Of these two great powers, whose
governments always enjoyed frlehdly
relations. should not get closer together
for mutual edifcation and benefit. That
end cannot be accomplished, however II
the principles OF resolutions OF the eco
nomic conference of the Allies at Paris
last June are confirmed and carried out.
"These resolutions, while inspired by
the desire % prevent revival OF eco
monte supremacy, as IT were, or the
countries with which the Allies are at
war. are at the same time a discrimlna..
ton against commerce with all neutral
countries. many Of which have been
supplying the Allies with requirements
for a successful prosecution OF the
war. and in so doing have provided
much material without which the Al
lies would not have been so successful
as they have been.
End Of War To BE Desired
"The idea that America has expert
enced nothing but benefit from the war
is a mistake. and the charge that Amer
lea desires 10 soc the war continue be-
cause OF the profits she derives has so
little foundation that il needs no eN-
PLANTATION or defence"
The ambassador and the whole diplo-
matte corps attended the New Years
