Captain Evasive

During the examination the com
missioner accused Cooper of unwilling
ness to aid him. The detective cap
tain's answers frequently We're so eva
sive that Wallstein showed anger, leay-
ing his chair and pacing the room. The
commissioner expressed the opinion
that on the face of Coopers testimony
he probably was the man responsible
for the apparent indifference Of the
fourth branch bureau in searching for
the body. The hearing was adjourned
until July after Cooper had testified.
Capt. Cooper was forced to admit on the
stand that the tools in Alfredo Cocchi' s
shop, where the body was found, should
have been examined for evidence of
crime. He had no explanation to give for
failing to direct his men to do SO, when
pressed by the examiner. Cooper also
testified that when he visited Cocchi s
shop with Detective Sergeant MCGEE he
did not search the shop but merely talked

Cooper then was questioned about a

he could not recall what Scull had said
What detective work did the fourth
branch do in this case?" Cooper was
asked. He hesitated.
"Who told you where to dig?'

Marines Eagerness

Army officials maintained complete
silence as to the expedition or as to
plans for future movements of troops
to support the advance guard. Marine
corps officers were eager to learn
whether the regiment of these soldiers
under Col. DOZEN which formed part
of the initial force was first to land
The marines generally are proud of
their record Of being first in the field
and are hopeful that it has been sus-
tanned in the first dispatch of Amer
lean forces to fight in the Old World.
1t appeared possible today that full
marine brigade eventually would be
sent to France to work as a unit OF
Gen. Pershing's army. With the corps
raised to 10000 men enough for brig
ade could be spared. and officers ana
Further Movements
Preparation of the great forces that
are to support these already dispatch
ed are moving steadily ahead both in
the army and navy. Announcement to-
day that when the national guard is
drafted into federal service and mobil-
lied, 1t will be sent at once to the d.
visional training camp sites in the
southeastern, southern and western
department was another step on the
road. 1t will eliminate some delay
in making the state troops ready for
the front
There has been much speculation ana
no authoritative announcement whatever
as to the use to be made of the national
guard. The existing units and those new
hot lxtf foIa
and recognition comprise the skeleton Of
is infantry divisions Under present dis
tribution by states, however there would
not be more than four or five divisions
complete enough to deserve that name.
It seems likely that redistribution and
consolidation of the force must be under
taken soon after they pass into the fed
eral service under the draft clause Of the
national defense act
Dismount Cavalry
Probably u or more complete infantry
divisions could be organized. Certainly
that number could be completed with the
cavalry employed dismounted as is now
planned, and used as provisional infantry
regiments.
Not Long Training
At full war strength the existing regi-
ments would represent total force Of
probably $780, coo men. OF that number at
least one-third are fairly well seasoned
troops who already have had six or eight
months Of intensive instruction and ac-
tive continuous service on the border. In
the judgment of army officials this will
furnish a splendid start for the new men.
The fact that the guard camps are to be
of canvas seems to indicate that it is not
expected to keep them in training on this
side of the ocean for a very extended pc

Children, 191, 225, were examined
and most Of them were found with
defective eyesight, adenoids, diseased
tOnsiIs and glands and hearing. After
these physicians had found these dis
eases they sat down and wrote to
the various parents that such cOndi-

to take their children to a real doc

to treat such cases.
If the health dept is earnest and
willing to do real work, then let them
have in each school a prescribed
room where the children will get
medical treatment by these doctors
who receive salaries from the city.
They should not be agents only to
send the children to another doctor,
but be permitted to treat the cases
and follow them up at their homes.
If the health dept will do this they
will render a real service for the
citizens Of Chicago.
AS it is now, the health dept is de-
ceiving the citizen and obtaining mo-

that they are looking after the health

me his plans to beat the high cost Of
