SLACK-WATER PERIOD OF DAY
Two O'Clock In Afternoon, Declares
Writer, Is for Some Reason 4
Time Of DisiIlusion.

Each period of the day has its own
subtle quality, which no arbitrary re.
arrangement Of our own hours of work
and rest can destroy. And two o'clock
in the afternoon Is time Of disillu4
sion, a time when a man has neither
great faith nor profound convictions,
writes William McFee In the Atlantic.
The morning is gone, the evening too
far away. Even teatime seems at an
immense and tragic distance. 1t is the
slack-water period Of the day. And it
is the period when a man may perhaps
experience, in the space of flash,
peculiar sensation of being an impos-
tor! 1t is, suppose, in such moments
that generals, commanders, chief en-
gineers and the like jump overheard.
It is q sensation extraordinarily vivid
and brief. No external evidence is Of
any avail to neutralize its dire and
dreadful omniscience. No personal
written record, no esteem Of lifelong
friends, no permanent and visible ac-
complishment can shield the sensitive
human soul, thus suddenly stripped
bare by some devilish cantrip Of its
own mechanism. One feels q hollow
sham.

tain the house increase of 80 per cent
on letter rates, but tentatively agreed

trade as we'll as corporations and part
nerships.
From individuals at the house rate
Of 16 per cent 1T Is estimated $780,
100000 additional revenue would be
secured.
1t also was decided to give an ex-
empuOn of per cent to corporations
having subnormal profits during the
.hree-year prewar period and similar
exemption TO new corporations organ
Zed since the war began.

Lieut.. Amaury de la Grange, noted
French air fighter, made this revela-
ton in an interview given out here
He emphasized with what Importance
the allied general staffs regard Amer

preponderance" that he is convinced
will make possible shattering Of the
Teuton battle lines.
Nothing is impossible If we allies

De la Grange said. Berlin is even

as her biggest share toward re-estab-

derance, as she can do, and then, in
deed, will German divine right rulers
call for a real peace instead of a pseu-

"Put through this proposed program
and you Americans will have done
more to end the war with less cost IN
money and lives than you could do in
any one or all Of dozen ways.
"Put through this program and we
can destroy the great munition works.
their great mobilization depots, their
great factories for production Of mo-

"But we must have four machines to
Germany's one to do this. America
can do it."

Paris, June 22.-The French this
morning recaptured part Of the posi-
tions gained by the Germans in an at
tack on the Aisne front east of Vauxail-
Ion, the war Office announces.
The statement says the battle was
waged with extreme violence, the Ger
mans employing fresh troops from the

fered by the Germans.
In the Champagne the French gained
ground northeast Of Mont Carnillet.

Cats as Hunters.

DR.. A. A. Allen, professor of birds
at Cornell, suggests that anyone who
is skeptical about the hunting ability
of the cat should go out in the early
fall morning after light snow fall
and track the wild animals of the
nearby woods. Perhaps you will find
the tracks of a red squirrel; squirrels
are very clever and usually manage
to exist even in cities. Perhaps you
will find the tracks of a cottontail or
two; rabbits are very prolific and
stand a great deal of persecution.
Probably you will find the tracks Of
few rats and mice but be assured you
will find Puss-in-Boots in force, her
tracks crossing and recrossing. Doc
tor Allen does not believe there is a
place in the eastern United States
within five miles Of a human habita-
ton where you will not find the tracks
Of the domestic cat more frequently
than those of any wild animals, squir-
rels, rabbits, mice excepted. Trappers
catch them in their traps set in the
wilds far from hOuses.-Grit.

AMERICAN BOAT DESTROYER
SENDS U-bOAT TO BOTTOM
ATTACKS FOOD BILL
Senator Sherman of Illinois Says
Measure Hurts Farmers.
AsssfIs Administration as Being Hys-
terical and Dominated by Labor
Unions.

Washington, June 22.-While vigOr-
ously assailing the food control bill
in the senate, Senator Sherman of 1lli-
nois broadened out into general criti-
ciSm Of the administration, Of labor
organizations and of the growth Of
aristocracy in America, an aristocracy
that objected to calloused hands.
"The administration reminds me Of
q balky horse on an Illinois prairie"
said Senator Sherman. For four and
half years 1t has been lazy, apathetic
and unsympathetic amid murder un-
speakable and outrage infinite.
Suddenly, like balky horse, 1t has
walked up, scared into something like
action. From apathy 1t has gone to
hysterial. The people are asked to
go from bOundlesS extravaganza to
governmental parsimony, to govern
ment food control. 1 am not ready to
grant unbridled authority to the exec
utive"
Senator Sherman charged that the
bill is especially aimed at farmers.
City dwellers and labor unions, he
declared, are it's principal advocates.
'The senate and house will pass any
thing that any labor union indorses
and endeavOrs to thrust upon them,
right or wrong" he shouted. Organ
lied labor controls legislation in this
administration and the last 1t die
tates to senators, while the farmers
are unorganized.
"There are more than 100000 farm
ers in this country, but they are not
organized. The food control bill does
not exempt farmers from It's opera
ton, although such exemptions have
been claimed. Everything the farmer
produces is covered in the bill, as
well as everything he uses in the
production Of foodstuffs.
"The country is more scared than
hurt over this food problem. With
proper transportation facilities there is
no need for any panic about the food
situation"
Senator Sherman said he would vote
for legislation to prohibit manufacture
Of foodstuffs into Intoxicating bever-
ages, but would vote against the bill
unless its blanket" powers are elm
mated.

TEACHER SHOOTS
RIVAL TO Death
Wife of Former State Veterinary
of Wisconsin Murdered by
Miss Grace Lusk.
SLAYER DEFIEs her CAPToRs
Turns Revolver Upon Herself and May
Die-Shooting Occurs at the Home
of Miss Blanca Mills at
Waukesha.

Waukesha, Wis, June 22.-One wOm-
an shot to death and another probably
dying from self-infiicted wounds spell
out love triangle tragedy which oc-
CURED here.
Miss Grace Lusk, thirty-five years
old, instructor In the teachers training
department Of the Waukesha high
school. was the principal In the crime.
Her victim was Mrs. Roberts, wife Of
David Roberts, former state veterinari-
an and president of the Doctor Roberts
Veterinary company Of this city.
Mrs. Roberts went to the residence
Of Miss Blanca Mills, 418 West Park
avenue, where Miss Lusk roomed. Mr..
Roberts said afterward that his wife
telephoned him she had been invited
by the teacher to call at two O'Clock.
Calls Her Husband.
After Mrs. Roberts reached the Mills
residence she called up her husband
and asked that he come and be present
at a conference. He left at once with
L. D. Blot and on arriving found his
wife unconscious.
He did not know then she had been
shot, but supposed she had tainted.
He summoned DR.. r. e. Davies.
Investigation revealed the bullet
wound. Shortly afterward the woman
died.
Meantime Mr.. Blot heard Miss Lusk
call and, turning, saw her at the head
Of the stairway. She waved a revolver
and def1ed any person to come up the
stairs.
Chief Of Police Mckay was notified
While waiting for him, Mr.. Blot and
Doctor Davies parleyed with Miss
Lusk, and tried to calm her. Once she
cried:
II love him. I want him, and want
him now."
Before Chief Mckay arrived Miss
Lusk placed the revolver at her chest
and fired one shot. Despite the
wound inflicted, she continued to defy
Blot and Davies to come and take
she shot herself a second time and
fell.
Tells Of Her Letters.
At the hospital Miss Lusk said she
wished to die. It was found her lungs
had been pierced by two bullets. She
told District Attorney NJ. S. Tullar
there were important letters in her bu-
reau. He took possession Of them, but
refused to show them.
Miss Lusk came here six years ago
from her home In Mosinee, Wis. Both
she and Mrs. Roberts were members
Of the local chapter Of the D. A. R.,
and were active In social and club
work. Mrs. Roberts formerly was Miss
Mary Newman Of Racine, where she
taught school. She was forty-nine
years old.
Several weeks ago Mrs. Roberts Is
said to have appeared before the board
Of education and asked for the dis
missal Of Miss Lusk, alleging she was
not fit person to teach school. It
was believed her action vas prompted
by reports her husband had been show
ing attention to the teacher.
Mr.. Roberts denied knowledge of
any trouble between the two women.
