MISS LUSk SAYS
NEVER INTENDED
TO KILL RIVAL
After Testifying She Could Re.
member Nothing About Shoot
ing, Admits Efforts to Keep
Liaison Secret.
(By Associated Press.)

Waukesha, Wis, May 24.-Grace
Lusk, after testifying that she could
remember nothing of the killing Of
Mrs. Mary Newman Roberts, for
which she now is on trial, was forced
to admit on cross-examination today
that she had sought to keep her rela-
tions with DR.. David Roberts secret
for more than two years.
During this period, she admitted,
she had warned the veterinarian to
be careful in talking to her on the tele-
phone, she had sent him letters in
care of his secretary, she had on one
occasion urged him to register under a
fictitious name with her at Chicago
hotel and they had a mutual agree
ment that their letters should be un-
signed and should be destroyed as
soon as they we're read. Miss Lusk
also admitted that she had not con-
fined herself absolutely to the facts in
several statements made in unmailed
letters to Mrs. Roberts regarding her
intimacy with DR.. Roberts.
Cannot Remember Killing.
Although she could remember moth
ing regarding the actual shooting of
Mrs. Roberts and declared that she
never, never, never" intended to do
it, she admitted that she had "a clear
recollection of events Immediately be-
fore and after the tragedy. She de-
clared that Mrs. Roberts had threat
ened to have her driven out Of town
and had likened her to woman of
the streets.
After the tragedy Miss Lusk told of
going to her room and firing her pistol
out of the window to see whether it
had "jammed," with the intention later
of using it to take her own life. She
had no recollection of firing the first
shot into her body. but fired the sec
ond because she no longer cared to
live after being told that Mrs. Roberts
was dead.
Miss Lusk testified on cross-exam-
ination that the first time she had
urged that Mrs. Roberts be told the
truth was on May 1S, 1917, little
more than a month before the tragedy.
Quizzed About Unmailed Letter.
On the cross-examination, which
was conducted by Walter D. Corrigan
of Milwaukee, a letter addressed to
Mrs Roberts, which never had been
mailed, was read after Miss Lusk had
admitted writing it. This was the let
ter introduced earlier in the trial by
the state over the protest Of the de-
Tense that their client could not be

Salt Lake City. May 24.-Howard
H. De Weese, who was shot here to-
day for the murder of his wife, Fanny
Fisher De Weese, left a grim legacy
for his wife's former husband. 1t was
a silk handkerchief and the bullets,
which passed through the heart of
De Weese, first passed through the bit
Of silk, which he had pinned over
his chest.
Before his execution De Weese
secured the promise of the warden of
the state prison to forward the
handkerchief, together with a note
to Fisher in New York. The letter
dated at the Utah state prison, last
Monday, reads:
"Mr. H. w. Fisher, $50 Second

Therefore, put your house in order.

GERMAN POWER
MAY Be BROKEN
IN next BATTLE
Washington Confident Allies
Will Win and Foe Be Forced
Thereafter to Fight on
Defensive.
{By Associated Press.)

Washington, May 24.-Renewal of
the German drive in France indicated
by Premier Lloyd George today to
be imminent, finds American mill
tary opinion here absolutely conf
dent of the outcome. There is not
a doubt in the minds of high officers
familiar with the situation that the
enemy will be repelled with loss and
the offensive power of Germany fin
ally broken.
There are those who believe that
the end of the war may come this
year as a result. Others however
foresee, long defensive struggle by
the German army while efforts to
secure peace on the best possible
terms are made by the Berlin diplo-
mats.
German Position Weakened.
In assessing the situation as it
stands today in France, officers here
point out that the German position
strategically is far weaker than it was
when the drive was launched in
March. Their lines are now shaped
SO that there is constant danger of
flank attack from several points that
mi ght mean disaster. To guard these
points, ample reserves must be held
whatever call for more men may be
made from the fronts of attack.
American manpower sufficient to
replace by far the larger portion of
the losses of British and French in
the bitter fighting which stopped the
first German rush has been carried
to the fighting zones supplementing
the considerable American force
which already was in France. Ex-
cept for the finer points of trench
warfare, the new American units are
ready for the battle. They are re-
garded as fully prepared for the form
of action in which they will be en-
gagged.

Of ARMY n
ENLISTMENT lis AGE
LIMIT PROPOSED
Men Between 40 and 55
Would Be Available in Nom
Combatant Branches Under
Bakers Plan.
(By Associated Press.)

Washington, May 4.-Another
move toward full utilization of the
country's man power was made today
when Secretary Baker sent to con-
gress the draft of bill proposing to
raise the maximum age limit for vol
untary enlistment in the army from
40 to SIS years. All men over 40 so
enlisted would be assigned to nom
combatant service.
In a letter to Speaker Clark asking
that the Bill be pushed Secretary
Baker said:
Every man above the age OF 40
wears who is enlisted in nonconlbat-
tant branches of the service will make
available for duty with the line troops
man within the prescribed age limit
for all troops.
Many men whose long experience
as mechanics and artisans will make
them particularly valuable to the va
rious staff corps and departments may
be thus secured instead of younger
men without such experience and the
efficiency of the staff corps and the
departments thus will be increased

men in this class undoubtedly will be
restrained from enlisting by family

be more than sufficient to meet the

AIR FIGHTING INTENSE.
The remarkable aerial activity along
the western battle front continues
with both sides initiating air fighting
and bombing operations. If the Ger
mans repeat their attempts to bonn
bard Paris from the air, Americans
will feel keen interest in the attacks
because American aviators now are
aiding in the defense of the French
capital.
Troops Facing Americans Shifted.
The German troops that faced the
Americans along the lines of the Toul
sector have been replaced. For some
time the Teutons there were units
WHICH had been withdrawn from Rus
sia. These now have been replaced
by Bavarian reserve regiments. 1t is
probable that the men withdrawn
have been hurried north to participate
in the coming renewal Of the great
German offensive in Picardy and

In spite of Berlin's promise that the
German forces would not penetrate
further into Russia, large Teuton
army is reported to be within Is miles
of Kursk, in the Dnieper-Don region.
