ADDS TO VICTORY
A. p. Bulletins Can't Be Copied by
Hearst Papers.

New York, June 22.-The United
States circuit court of appeals has
extended the scope of the injunction
secured by The Associated Press
against Hearst's International News
Service so as to forbid the latter or
ganization from using Associated
Press news appearing in early editions
of newspapers, or newspaper bulletin
boards featuring Associated Press dis
patches.
Judges Rogers and Hough signed
the majority opinion of the court.
Judge Ward dissented.
In the majority opinion, the theory
was held that there is property value
of distinct character and that the AS
ISOLATED Press should have the full
benefit of this property right, even aft
er publication of the news in early
newspaper editions or on newspaper
bulletin boards. The injunction prev
ioasly granted the Associated Press
restraining Hearsts International
News Service from utilizing Associated
Press news prior to publication, was
extended to cover the new ground.

s.Didn't Intend To Kill Her; ]
Lost My Head"

Waukesha, Wis, June 22.-Miss
Grace Lusk, high school teacher. who
yesterday shot and killed Mrs. Rob-
erts, wife of DIR. David Roberts former
state veterinarian, and then tried to
kill herself by sending two bullets
into her body, probably will recover,
physicians said today. Doctor Rob-
erts. who arrived at the house soon
after the shooting. asked Miss Lnsk
why she had killed his wife.
81 did not intend to, but just lost
my head when she SAID / could not
have you," she replied.
To DR.. R. E. Davies and Chief of
Police Mckay Miss Lusk said:
"I am sorry for Mrs. Roberts. 1
hope my wounds are fatal. L never
thought I could do it. I loved Doc
tor Roberts and want him now and
always"
Set Conference Over Husband.
Mrs. Roberts went to the home of
Miss Blanca Mills, where Miss Lusk
lived, to keep an appointment with
the latter. After Mrs. Roberts reached
the Mills residence she called her hus-
band on the telephone and asked that
he come and be present at the confer
ence between herself and Miss Lusk
When he reached the house fifteen
minutes later, he found his wife dead.
District Attorney Tullar said that
from letters belonging to Miss Lusk
he was led to believe that she intended
to commit suicide but not murder.
Writes Wife of Her Love.
A letter evidently written by Miss
Lusk to Mrs. Roberts, while the for
mer was making a visit to Chicago
recently, was made public. 1t read:
1T has been a desire with me for
a long time to tell you frankly about
the state of affairs between Doctor
Roberts and myself. 1 have asked
him repeatedly to tell you the whole
story but you seem to have him ter
roriZed to pitiful degree. If L were
to blame you for any one thing it
would be for that. You must have
known for many years that there did
not exist between your husband and
yourself the honest confidence that is
essential in the higher state of mar
riage.
You must have known for long
time that your husbands affections
had passed from you; that he cared
for someone else. That is sufficient

Be Starved Out First.

Copenhagen, June 22.-Berlin and
all Germany is submarine mad. Men
and women with their faces pinched
by lack of adequate food are heroic
all and single mindedly fixed in their
belief that the thousand or more I'M
derwater craft which the public is now
led to believe Germany has in the war
zone will win for the kaiser. No dis
comforts incident to achieving that
success are too great to be borne.
This is the picture of Germany,
from the German viewpoint, which
the United Press is able to present to-
day. The information was contained
in a letter received here today by
Danish resident with close friends in
high official positions in Berlin. De-
spite all difficulties of food supply,
the writer said the German public had
complete confidence in the U-boats'
mastery of the water.
Not Anxious to Fight U. S.
Every one believes England's de-
feat is the prime consideration" the
German writer declared. Germans
regard England as the one nation re-
sponsible for prolongation of the war.
The German government, the navy,
the army and the people are not anx-
ious to start open hOstilities against
America. England is Germany's main
submarines she has found the weapon
which will bring England to her
knees.
The public expresses regret that
English women and children will have
TO suffer thru lack of food-but it re-
members that the German women and
children have been suffering for a
long time on account of England's
starvation blockade of Germany
Food Shortage in Germany.
of course, there is suffering here
thru lack of adequate food. The chill
dren are growing thinner. All our
faces are pinched-eXcept those of the
food gIafters-and there are plenty
o. these. 1t is true that we have only
enough it live on. But we are gong
10 &c ahead and We are watching
daily the work of our submarines. In
the meantime we have cheering news
of vegetables and cereals that will be
plentiful soon. Also our meat ration
has been increased and we are told
the toll of the submarines will be in
creasingly large.
We do not know what will happen
in Russia. She may make a separate
peace, in which case Germany would
easily be able to lend her plenty of
money-even billions Italy would
undoubtedly make a separate peace
likewise, if Russia took this step
because Italy fears for what the Aus
trian troops might do on her borders
if they were released from the Rus
sian front. With this, it seems prob
able that France might also agree to
peace on certain favorable conditions,
which Germany would be willing to
grant. Under such circumstances no.
body thinks England would be foolish
enough to stick in the war alone, or
with the United States. If England
did, Germany could literally put a
steel net of submarines around the
British isles and StarVe them out 1t
would not take more than a few
months either"
