CHAPLIN DECLARED
READY TO SETTLE
ST, 900, 600 in Cash Reported
involved to End Martial
Differences.

BY the Associated Press.
LOS ANGELES, June 1.-THE
Times states today that it has a well
founded report that Charles Chaplin
IS about ready to settle his marital
differences with his wife, Lita Grey
Chaplin, for cash, a million dollars or
near It,
Actual negotiations toward settle.
ment have been resumed, and the
Times is informed in reports from
the East that peace feelers have been
put out.
Attorneys Are Silent.
A silence was maintained on the
matter by attorneys for both princi.
pals in the divorce action started by
the young wife of the film comedian.
Lyndol Young, attorney for Mrs.
Chaplin, said last night that he ia
vored settlement keeping the case
out of court, and that the sum re.
ported under consideration probably
would be satisfactory to his client.
Chaplin's attorney, Lloyd Wright, also
favored a settlement.
Trial Date Set.
The settlement reports came on the
heels of the setting of August % as
the trial date by Presiding Judge
Walton Wood. This was done at the
request of Wright, who is the per-
sonal attorney here Of the film come
dian.
The fact that Chaplin's cross COM
plant as yet remains unanswered by
his wife was pointed out as another
coincidence in the reported peace ne.
gotiations. Both parties have asked
for the custody of their two children,
but Mrs. Chaplin has repeatedly as.
serted she would not give them up.
His cross-complain stated she previ.
ously had demanded $1,120,OOO of him.

the cycle of natural tragedies which has made 1927

the cold and stormy weather which is natural to New

New England is compact and is provided with

where wide stretches of land had to be covered by
those bringing succor to the unfortunate. Many of
these arteries badly damaged, but repair

The brunt of the suffering will not much in

small towns and cities, with which New England
abounds Many of these people will be handicapped
