"I believe that they wanted to smuggle him back to Russia, as they had done with several of their enemies.
"In my opinion they killed Koutepoft during the kidnapping. It is highly probable that they har planned to chloroform him when he was riding in a taxicab, and that an overdose was administered during the struggle."

London Greetings
London, Nov. 30, Congratulations must be offered to the United States and the pilots of the China Clipper on the success of the first commercial air voyage across the Pacific, says the "Telegraph." The Alght from California to the Philippine. Is- lands has taken a week, with in- termediate stope at Honolulu, Midway Island and Guam, and a ton of mails has been carried tri addition to 14 passengers. The Pacine, in spite or its vast spaces, is kindly to aviation in the num- ber of lalands that offer landing places, and it is not surprising that it should have proved easier to start an air service there than across the Atlantic.
This pioneer flight should" be quickly followed by the extensio
