Miss Grace Lusk, poet, Psychologist
and Intellectual, goes to trial here

hand of a woman OF breeding became
a savage claw that CROPPED wildly for
the nearest weapon to kill.
Primal Instinct 20 Battle
They will claim that something
snapped out of the mind OF Miss Grace
Lusk; that reasoning left her; that
law and order and thought and con-
troll went away. And in this return to
the primitive, they will hold that It is
the primal instinct of every female
creature to battle for the male she
feels is hers.
Grace Lusk goes to trial charged
with the murder Of the wife OF DIR.
David Roberts,-wealthy, a man who
for many years owned prestige and

AIRMEN ACTIVE
OVER GERMAN Lines
War Summary Of Tuesday Shows NO
Big Enterprise Of Either
Side

Allied airmen are taking advantage
of every opportunity to invade enemy
territory. Many more tons of bombs
have been dropped on important rail
way centers and other military tar
gets behind the German lines in Elan
ders and in Picardy. fn> aerial fight
ing the Germans have lost six more
enemy machines.
While British naval airmen bomb

tinue the aerial bombardment of
Bruges
Americans Use Artillery
West of Montdidier In Picardy and
northeast of Toul the Americans are
harassing the Germans with heavy ar
tillery fire. Considerable damage is
believed to have been caused on both
sectors. The announcement through
Ottawa that the American army was
not to be fully employed against the
Germans until it was a complete or
ganization, iff@is declared in London,
was due to an error which has been
corrected.
Germans Slow ON Offense
Committed, as they are, to a con
tinuation of heavy fighting on the
western front, the Germans apparent
ly are taking their full time before
beginning another forward operation
on the line from scissors north to the
Belgian coast.
In two weeks the enemy has made
only aone determined attack and this
was repulsed by the allied forces
southwest of Ypres. Along the sec
tors of the salient driven by the Ger
mans since March q, the enemy artil-
