INSANITY IS
KELLY'S PLEA
Attorneys Will Attempt to
Prove Temporary
Derangernent.

Red Oak Iowa, Sept. 24.-Intro-
duction Of evidence was concluded
yesterday in the trial of Rev. Lyn
George Kelly. charged with compile
ity in the; Villisca, Iowa, six murders,
and attorneys are preparing to have
the case ready for the jury by the lat
ter part of this week. Thirty-one wit
nesses have been summoned for the
rebuttal by the state which, opened
this morning.
Contest this week will center about
Kelly's mental condition. Alienists
have testified that Kelly for several
years has been a victim of paranoia
and the state contends the victims of
that disease have a clear recollection
OF acts committed during their spells
of insanity. Attorney General Hav-
ner emphasizes this point in connec-
ton with the confession signed by
Kelly in the sheriff's Office at Logan,
Iowa, three weeks ago.
The defense maintains a paranoia

WILL TAKE
LEAD in THE WAR,
SAYS BRITISH PAPER

London, Sept. i24.-Referring to
sBonar Laws remarks, at a luncheon
to EMedill Mccormick, about Ameri-
can aid, The British Weekly says:
I'VE infer from this declaration
that the government recognizes that
without effectual aid from America
there cannot be a complete victory.
hWeHdo not question the statement nor
do we doubt that it was made with!
full knowledge Of the consequences.
but certain results follow. There are
signs already that America, applying
her sunworn and ineShaustible
strength to the problem OF war, means
to take the lead among the Allies.
President Wilson, without hesitation
and without delay, made a firm and
most able reply to the Intervention Of
the Pope and the Allies seem to have
endorsed and accepted his words.
america will no doubt play an
equally decisive part in the solution Of
many problems still to be dealt with
and will exercise an i~ncalculable in
.f1uence over the final settlement. The
Allies accept her aid with great
thankfulness, and so far they have no
reason to doubt either her wisdom or
her power"

GERMANS NOW
TRY TO RAISE
ANEW ARMY
Turks Taking Places Of
Homie Garrisons-Drive at
Russian Fields Likely.

Petrograd, Sept. 2A.-(Dispatch to
the London Morning Post.)-The>
public Is now pretty well Gained re-
garding the possibility of a German
dash upon Petrograd. Nevertheless,
the evacuation Of the city is being
urged forward energetically for q va
riety of sufficient eason
The Germans will certainly not at
tempt to reach Petrograd by land this
year. Apart from q roadless terrain
OF bogland, impossible during the
rainy seasons of the year this opera
ton would require at least 100000
linen eve ~supposing the Germans met
with no opposition on their march. If
the exhausted man power Of h Ger
mans can raise for service on the EAST
ern front half million more fighting
men, which is a very large presump-
ton, there is considerable doubt
whether they would regard the pos
session of Petrograd as an objective
worth such an extraordinary effort at
this stage of a
4 The Germans are, nevertheless, I'M
dpubtedly making strenuous efforts to
false another army. I hear that ex-
traordinary measures Of the last des-
perations have beef taken to raise
more men, for garrisons In the inter-
ior of Germany are being drawn off
to the front and replaced by Turks.
These are cheaper to feed.and canb be
reckoned on to deal with merciless
severity with any internal disorders.
For what special object of the war
has Germany constrained herself to
take this desperate measure I? 1T is be-
lieved here that she hopes to com
fSlete that which even the appalling
exodus Of Russians from Galicia did
not allow to fulfillment partly owing to
the Germans want Of men on the spot
and more owing to General: Korniloff's
drastic treatment Of his soldiery,
which produced very fair resistance
after a while to the further advance
Of the enemy.
