BOLOGNA, July 3. - Interrogation of Alfredo Cocchi, self-confessed slay girl in New York, is kept secret by CT of Ruth Cruger, the pretty school law in Italy until just before trial, when counsel are allowed to exam inc the confession. According to unofficial information Cocchi said
 My machine shop gave me a sat isfactory position. l earned some times $100 a week. I had never seen Ruth Cruger before she came to my shop to have her skates sharpened. From the very beginning Ruth did all in her power to attract my at tention I felt something strange when her dark, penetrating eyes were fixed on mine.
 "I was still more disconcerted when she came again February 1 to get her skates. An overpowering at traction for the young women seized me. What happened afterwards now seems like a dream. My memory at this point fails me utterly.
 "In view of the facts which have been presented it must be true I at- tackled and killed her But God help me, I did not mean to. My will-power could not resist any more. When returned home I was like a person in trance. I remember speaking of this peculiar mental condition and thought I was i'll.
 "1 began to realize the gravity of my position the morning of Febrauary 15, when newspaper reporters came to my shop to make inquiries aud policemen questioned me. I felt then as if I were lost. My only anxiety was to escape. I secured pass port which I kept among my papers, and succeeded in reaching Italy. On my arrival l was overcome by re- morse. can not myself believe that my hitherto unblemished life has been destroyed forever. This is my first offense but it is of such nature that 1 cannot believe it to be true. The greatest punishment is to think what suffering and agony my wife and children are undergo in, as notwithstanding our misun- derstanding, we love each other most tenderly."

TRUST THE PRESIDENT

The experience of all the nations shows that Government control of food supplies and prices is necessary thing In the of the United it is doubly necessary because from this country come the supplies to feed nearly all the nations that are warning against German despotism.
 This is the essential truth keep in mind in every discussion of the subject
 Unless there is a law giving the Government pow CT to control the food supply there will be usual lack of coordination unnecessary waste; supplies be improperly distributed; there will be manipulation of prices. the consumer will pay more. while the producer will receive less. and only the speculator and middeman will profit
 It is not likely that all of the provisions of the food control bill will have to be strictly enforced very fact that such bill in contemplation caused the grain gamblers of Chicago to desst from their skyrocketing tactics, and both and wheat came down to commodity prices
 But does anybody believe for instant that the gamblers have reformed? Remove the menace of Gov ernment control by the defeat the bill now pend ing in Congress and will have 8 wheat and $2 corn-until the farmer to market his crop when prices will suddenly and mysteriously collapse
 We have seen this thing happen too often to be fooled by it. Congress at last has opportunity put the food gamblers in the guard by curailing their to manipulate prices and will be dere hct in its duty if it fails to seize the opportunity.
 There has been great deal of buncombe, in Congress and of it. the subject control
 Erecting scarecrow, which they have called by different names, but generally Herbert c. Hoover op ponents of the bill have proceeded to rend and tear the dummy of food control unconscious that they merely destroying their conception of the sub ject, and not the real thing at all
 President Wilson has given assurance to the farm the producers of food that is his intention if given the power conferred by this bill to force low CT prices for what they have to sell He has prom ised the that prices shall not be artfciay created maintained for what they have to buy.
 Between these two extremes there might to be irreconcable difference. But there is The is perfectly willing that the farmer should receive fair. in fact, liberal price, for what he has to aell What both farmer and consumer object to is false elevation of prices which often between the two a result of speculation and manipulation.
 The President promises to stop this manipulation nnder the proposed law.

 Only this week heard American-born, we'll to-do say America had no business to get into this If she had kept her citizens and ships at home, she could have kept out of it.'
 Was argument more craven, cowardly and un- patriotic? It is not argument It is vaporing, sen ile childish and unbecoming in any person to whom vouchsafed the distinguished privilege to be born under Old Glory and in the United States of America Here is what President Wilson said in Memorial Day address:
 "It is plain enough how forced
 into the war. The extraordinary insults and
 aggressions of the imperial German government
 left not selfrespecting choice but to take
 up in defense of rights as a free
 people and honor as sovereign govern
 ment The military masters of Germany de-
 nied us the right to be neutral They filled
 unsuspecting communities with vicious
 spies and conspirators and sought to corrupt
 the opinion of people in their own behalf
 When they found they could not do that they
 diligently spread sedition among us and sought
 to draw own citizens from their allegiance
 and some of those agents were men connected
 with the official embassy of the German gov
 ernment itself here in capital"
 Every selfrespecting American living will agree with President Wilson in the above and will get squarey behind the government in every meas introduced It is not to be expected that all will privately agree with all the government may do, but in the main the government will be right and as good citizens it is our duty to keep our private opn ions to ourselves and back up our government in it's America entered the with clean hands and pure hear-not for purposes of territorial acquis on not through spirit of national jealousy or na tonal aspiration but in the name of God and human ity.
