CLOSING ARGUMENTS
in LUSK CASE ARE
UNDER WAY TO-DAY

Waukesha, Wis. May 2S.-Closing
arguments in the trial Of Grace Lusk,
who is charged with the murder Of
Mrs. Mary Newman Roberts, began
today and it is hoped that the case
will be in the hands of the jury by
tomorrow night.
Five experts retained by the de-
fense testified that Miss Lusk was in
sane at the time Of the shooting and
experts retained by the state testified
that she was quite sane. The de-
fendant herself testified that she had
no recollection Of the shooting, but
the state through witness quoted
her as saying shortly after the traE-

declared that the evidence presented
proved that Miss Lusk was sane ut
the time Of the tragedy and quoted
her own testimony, as proof Of her
ability to distinguish between right
and wrong. s

relations with DR.. David Roberts, de-

Roberts ran from the room, pursued
by her~. assailant, but was finally
forced to turn in corner when the
last shot was fired, Mr.. Tu1lar claimed.
Miss Lusk then fled upstairs, he said,
and attempted to end her own life,
''in an effort to cheat the law :,
Mr.. Tullar told the jury to remem-
Der that Dr.. Roberts was not on trial
and that the only question they faced
was the. guilt or innocence of the
defendant on charge Of numbering
Mrs. Roberts. He also quoted the
commandments. Thou shalt not kill''
and "ThOu shalt not covet." ~.
Henry Lockney began the argu-
ment to the jury for the defense. He
declared that the jury had the choice
of five verdicts as follows: Guilty OF
first degree murder. guilty OF second
degree, murder, guilty Of manslaugh-
ter In the third degree, not guilty
and guilty because insane. The first
he said, involved premeditation, the
second was without premeditation,
and the third was any staying done
in the heat of anger.

GERMANS DEFEATED
UPON SIX FRONTS
ENEMY LINE cRuMsLEs UNDER
THE ALLIED DRIVE FROM
BELGIUM TO VERDuN.
Advances OF Troops Under King Albert
and Marshal Haig JeopardIxea Ger
many's Submarine Basea on
the North Sea.

Parls.-The entente allied forces
from Belgium to Verdun, on six bat
tlefronts, are registering victory after
victory over the Teutonic armies, and
the enemy front almost everywhere lis
crumbling, Notwithstanding the des-
perate resistance that is being offered
ON various sectors.
On all of the sectors under attack,
from Belgium to Flanders, to the re-
gion of Verdun, the German front is
gradually bending back under the yio-
lence of the attacks of the British,
Americans, French and Belgians. In
Belgium the advance of the troops of
King Albert and of Field Marshal Haig
has pierced so deeply eastward that
Germany's submarine bases on the
North sea are In jeopardy of being cut
off.
The famous Messines- w ytschaete
ridge has been captured and the allied
guns dominate the plains beyond. Both
Menin and Roulers, important railroad
junction points for the supply of the
German armies north and south, are
virtually In the hands of the British
and Belgians, and seemingly soon must
fall.
From Cambria to st. Quentin the
British and Americans again have de-
livered successfully hard smashes
against the German strong points all
along the front, including the remain
ing portions of the old Hindenburg
line. The Germans here are offering
most strenuous resistance and in
counter-attacks compelled the British
on one or two sectors to withdraw for
slight distances.
The British are in the process of
cleaning up the town OF Cambria, hav-
ing penetrated Its suburbs from the
northwest and southwest. In the re-
glon Of st. Quentin, where the Amer
leans are fighting with the British, the
old Hindenburg line has been cut and
penetrated to depth Of three miles,
over front Of eight miles.
In conjunction with the operations
of the French northeast of SCISSORS
the Germans have begun the evacua-
tion Of the Chemin-des-Dames and the
French now hold half of this famous
defensive position. Likewise there IL
an indication that the enemy intends
TO give up the remaining positions held
by him along the Vesle to Rheims.
In Champagne, the French troops
west OF the Argonne forest everywhere
are pressing forward, and likewise to
the east of this position the Ameri.
cans are moving northward In unison
Already the big forest Is virtually out
thanked and apparently soon will be
made part Of the Franco-Americar
line.
From the st. Mlhiel sector the
Americans are heavily bombardine
enemy troop trains which are being
hurried to the front.

CHURCHES NOT HARD TO FILL
Religious Edlfiees In England Where
the Congregations Are of Neces-
sity Rather Small.

There are many churches that az.
tract attention by their size and grand
eur. There are few that are remark
able by reason OF their smallness and
simplicity. One Of these Is at Lulling-
ton, Sussex, England.
It is q primitive and quaint stone
building with a roof Of red tiles and
tiny weatherboarded turret at its west
end. This miniature church III only 10
feet square.
Its pulpit is pew with pnneled
sides and door and the furniture is of
the piainest. Five narrow, diamond
paned windows give light to the inte-
rior. When the church il full 30 per-
sons are gathered together.
Only q little larger il the meeting

than six.
