Germans Can't Get Out at Zee.

Air Photographs Show They're
Trying New Schemes.

London, May 24.-Having failed in
attempts to blow up the two concrete
laden ships sunk in the entrance to
the Bruges canal at Zeebrugge, the
Germans are now engaged in cutting
away the pieces in an attempt to out
flank the obstruction.
Photographs taken three days ago
by British naval airmen. show this
and they also show how completely
the canal entrance has been blocked.
So the Germans have adopted the ex-
pedient of removing the piers on the
west side of the canal in order to
make a large. enough channel for tor
pedo craft and other vessels larger
than submarines to pass out to sea.
Trying Exit Elsewhere.
The photographs which have been
viewed at the admiralty by The Asso-
c1ated Press also show that German
craft in the canal are headed west
ward, indicating according to the ad-
miralty, that they are evidently trying
to pass out by way of Ostend where
the canal entrance is not blocked as
completely as at Zeebrugge.
1t is doubtful however, if there is
enough water at the Ostend outlet for
even the smaller boats to get to sea.
photographs made there by British
airmen show that the depth of the
water at Ostend varies. a depth as
low as four feet being recorded.

With the British Armies in France.
May % (night).- Germans them
selves disagree as to the time and
place of resumption of their offensive.
Some enemy prisoners say the next
assault will be in the north, with
Calais as the objective; some say
Amiens and Abbeville will remain OBJ
jectives; while others say the Rheims
area will be the scene of the next
drive. Still others have heard rumors
of combinations of all of these. The
one thing that most of them agree on
is that Field Marshal Mackensen will
be in charge of the next move.
Stories are told of German ruses to
keep up the morale of the interior,
from where most of the recruits now
are being drained. Most of these re-
cruits are told they are wanted only
for work behind the lines. But the
drafts no sooner reach the battlefield
than they are split up among the di-
visions needing men to replace cas-
ualties.
The broiIing sun early today hid its
face over the battlefield. Heavy clouds
threatened rain. but the wind, blow
ing half gale. drove them off by mid
day. leaving the lines smothered in
sunshine, but much cooler.

German planes breaking up in mid

fired into at close quarters. This was
when a British formation, returning
from a bombing raid, was attacked
by 20 enemy scouts. One of these
dived on a British two-seater The
British machine gunner fired one
drum into it, when it careened,
caught fire and dropped. After falling
about 1000 feet, it broke into several
pieces.
German Planes Poor
Another German scout was, given
two bursts by a second British gunner
at close range, dived, then its planes
folded back. The two planes and the
fuselage fell to the ground in three
widely separate places.
A third scout, attacking another
British bombing plane. received two
volleys and fell in pieces.

are becoming constantly more fire.

TODAY's REPORT.

The battalions of the mems teams
of the second Red Cross war fund
army drove past the $4,000 Shawnee
county objective this noon. When the
reports were all in and tabulated, the
final score showed that the business
district of Topeka alone had sweptl
over the quota line with 500 to spare.
No official reports have been re-
ceived SO far on the progress of the
women's council of defense teams
raiding in the residence district or OF
the forays being made in the rural
school districts But listening patrols
sent out from Red Cross headquarters
have brought in joyful news of COM
plete success of the Red Cross drive
at all points in the line. At the war
council of the mems teams at the
Chamber of Commerce, this noon D.
w. Mulvane said that Indications from.
the women's teams and from the coun-
try school district captains were to
the effect that at least $4,000 will be
reported Saturday noon.
Will Swell Totals.
Nor were the complete returns from
the mems teams in this noon. Several
captains reported that their final re-
ports would not be in until Monday
night at the closing banquet of the
campaign. One captain stated that
he could safely promise an increase
of at least $1,000 on his report TO
date. Others said that they estimated
increases of at least $500 and so On
down the line. Every team captain
was sure that his team would swell
the total some more at the final ac-
counting.
In the 1917 first Red Cross Wa
fund campaign the Friday noon re-
port was $63,7S2-$14.31S short of the
report this noon. Taking this as q
basis Mu1vane estimated that the
Shawnee county subscription to the
second Red Cross war fund would not
be less than 100000.

Cannot Remember What Hap
pened at the Last.
Wife of DR.. Roberts Said He
Called Her Names.
RIDICULED and THREATENED
Hers a Case of Love Delayed
Too Long.
Says She Still Loves Him After
All This.

Waukesha, May 24-Grace Lusk
faced what she regards as the worst
ordeal of her life when she resumed
the witness stand today at her trial
for Staying Mrs. Mary Newman
Roberts. This came early this after
its direct examination and cross exam
fnatlon began
She has flatly denied DR. Roberts s
testimony that she pursued him and
has declaredthat he won her sympa-
thy by representing himself as unhap-
PLY married. She, also, declared that
in several instances DR. Roberts paid
her railroad fare from Milwaukee to
Chicago.
Miss Lusk's recital of the fatal scene
with the wife of the man she loved
clandestinely for years, left hardly a
dry eye in the packed courtroom. At
times in her story the witness gasped
for breath and reeled in the chair as
if about to faint. DR.. Roberts heard
her testimony from his seat inside the
rail but controlled his emotions.
Cannot Remember Shooting.
Miss Lusk said she could not re-
member the actual shooting of Mrs.
Roberts or herself June 81, 1917. She
remembered only one shot. a test
shot fired in her room where she went
to get Roberts's love letters to show
the wife. The sight of the revolver
l.
thought of suicide in her mind.
Il was telephoning DIR. Roberts
when Mrs. Roberts suddenly entered
the door at the Blanca Mills home,
where roomed.'' was the defendants s
story
Il hung UP the receiver.
I have corS~ to get an explanation
of your conduct last night, Mrs. Rob-
erts said. L think it was the most as
SHINE performance ever saw. -
Called at Roberts Home.
II This referred to call Miss Lusk
made at the Roberts home the pre-
vious night when she asked the doctor
for the last time to tell Mrs. Roberts
of their relations. Miss Lusk con-
tinued:
Mrs. Roberts said, He said you are
the damndest fool he ever saw. He
said that you were continually chas-
ing him, that he didn't care anything
about you
You don't mean that he said that,
do you?' 1 said to her.
What else could you expect Mrs.
Roberts replied, when you chase a
married man, what do you think he
will say and think about your
