WHETHER COCCH| IS J. s. CITIZEN IS
 NOT YET KNOWN

Bologna, Italy, June 26-Judge zuc- conf again today interrogated Alfredo Cocchi the slayer of Ruth Cruger in New York, but thus far he has not made public detailed report of the confess sion of Cocchi. Eslen signor Venturini, Cocchi's attorney, has been unable to learn all that his client has told the judge.
 An important point concerning Cocchi which has not yet been cleared up is whether he Is naturalized citizen and whether the United States has the right to request his extradition on grounds independent of those under which the Italian government interprets its extra dition treaty with the United States. The American embassy in Rome has not yet received any official statement as to whether Cocchi is naturalized Ameri- can citizen.

GENERAL REVIEW

In a general review of the operate under adverse conditions, the report says:
 Tn our judgment no praise can be too high for the gallantry and spirit shown by officers and men of all ranks of the British and Indian armies under this &C., cumuiation of difficulties"
 The report recommends as most desir able that the governing machinery of the Indian army should be so reformed as to enable 1t to be a help to, and not a drag, on the fighting capacity of the armies it controls, and that the aim of administrative reform in India, certainly in the military departments. should be the revolution of responsibilities and duties from the overcentralized bureau cracy of the supreme government at Simla.
 The signatories to the report are Lord George Hamilton, Earl Donough Moore, Lord Hugh Cecil, Sir Archibald William son, Admiral Sir Cyprian Bridge, Gen eral Sir Neville Lyttleton, and John Hodge, minister of labor.
 In separate report, Josiah c. Wedg wood, commander in the royal naval re- serve, recommends putting the Indian army under control of the war office at ondon
The Birmingham age-herald., 1917-06-27

India, and General Barrow, military sec retary of the India office in London, and the war committee of the cabinet itself, also share the responsibility.
 With regard to the governments mili tary and naval advisers, the report says they approved the advance but the pa- pcrs submitted suggest that their ap- proval was reluctant and perhaps partly induced by the natural desire not to dis appoint the hopes of advantage to the general situation which the government entertained. They appeared to have an ficipated no difficulty in an advance on Ba agdae, but only in holding it.
 INDIAN POLICY
 The report largely attributed the short comings to the policy of indiscrmiuate retrenchment pursued for some years be- fore the war by the India government under Instructions from the home govern ment. Transport and medical services are indicated as the weakest spots Tn the expedition, the lack of transports pre- venting endorsements from reaching Kut in time.
 For the lamentable breakdown" of the teachnical services, the responsibility is attributed to Surgeon General II. G. Hathaway, who showed singular unfit ness for the high administrative office he held"
