Army Launches Campaign
To-day for 10000 Regulars
Draft of Guard
May Be Delayed
Until August )
Change Is Planned to Prevent
Unfairness to OH
GERS

Washington, June 22.-Drafting of
the National Guard into the Federal
armies for war service may be delayed
until August 5. The reason stated by
the War Department is that II has been
found that, under the present plans foT
drafting, the Guard in three incre-
ments.. July IS, July 25 and August .,
the relative rank of its officers would
be established on an unfair basis. The
national defence act provides that Ma
tional Guard officers shall take rank as
of the date of draft.
The additional time gained by post
poning the draft until August would
be valuable to the department IN
making ready the divisional camp sites
at which the state forces will be mobil-
ized. and also would permit the assem-
bling of additional equipment for the
troops.
The desires of various parts of the
country as 20 the time when the Guard
shall be assembled have been conflict
ing. The department mas received nu'
merous requests, on the one hand, for
early drafting of forces from some
states, members of Congress stating
that the troops were ready and eager
for the call, while from other sections
notably agricultural regions, requests
Tor delay have come, as the loss OF the
number of men involved during harvest
period might create a labor shortage.
Preparations for mobilization OF the
state troops are going forward smooth
~. officials say. Recruiting has been
good for the last month, particularly y
among regiments not called into Fed
eral service for police duty. One Ken
tucky regiment now on such duty, how
ever, is reported at full war strength
the first unit of the Guard 70 reach
that objective.
Reports from the quartermaster's
CORPS show that clothing, tentage and
other equipment for the troops will BE-
available. There are sufficient rifles N
store 70 arm every regiment fully, sig,
nal corps and engineer equipment VII
be available on time, and the only delay
anticipated will be withs artillery.
On the basis OF present returns
there will be enough infantry regi
ments 10 organize Immediately after
the draft thirteen or fourteen OF the
sixteen divisions.

Shot Through Heart by
Rival Player

The story of lost baseball and how
it led 10 a mistake in identity, with
murder resulting, was told yesterday
by the police, after the arrest of six
teen-year-old Timothy Moynihan, OF
1854 Third Avenue. Charged with hom-
icide, he was held without bail by Cor

teen-year-old brother Francis, man

the seventh inning the Hayes Valley

treasurer had disappeared. A free

Teacher, Slayer
Of Woman Rival,
Bares Romance
Woman Accuses Others s
Husband of Cowardice
in His Dealings
By BRIGGS

Waukesha, Wis, June 22.-Miss
Grace Lusk, high school teacher, who
shot and killed Mrs. David Roberts,
wife of a former State Veterinarian,
and then shot herself after defying the
police for an hour, was still in a hos
pital tonight, but was growing stronger,
and physicians declared she would live
70 be prosecuted
DR.. A. p. Lusk, father of the accused
girl, visited her this afternoon. 1t was
a short meeting, and both were weep
ing.
DR.. Lusk asked:
"You poor girl, why did you do it?"
If you only knew, father, the life |
have lived. 1t was terrible, and know
God will forgive me-" she replied.
Cowardice Of the man she loved and
the collapse of the higher romance"
were charged to-day by Miss Lusk
against Roberts.
Miss Lusk hoped for the death she
failed TO accomplish when she fired
two bullets into her body after killing
Mrs. Roberts. But she displayed a de-
gree of her oldtime vigorous temper
when she laid bare the sorddness Of
the affair that has linked her and Rob-
, erts for more than a year. In this in
dictment she claimed support in the
letters Roberts wrote her.
Roberts, however, has denied writ
ing anything to Miss Lusk. The un-
signed pencIllings, said 20 be in his
hand. found among the effects of the
psychology teacher, bore out her
charges.
"Oh, he has the maudlin and common
sentiment that characterizes only the
horse doctor" said the teacher, when
she was reminded OF the notes. Il
thought his mentality matched mine
that his conception of ideals was pure
and his intellectually a rock of ages;
but he is a charlatan. He has sacri-

common desire

great physical fortitude, despite her
desire to die. DR.. K. L. Davies attend

That's too bad" she said. 81 want

A letter that Miss Lusk dictated to
DR.. r. +. Davies, while she held him
and others at bay at the foot of the
stairway in the Mills home, was made
public to-day. 1t was addressed TO Mise
Winifred Frye, 526 East Arrillago
