HUNS CROSS
AISNE ALONG
TWENTY MILES
Battle Is Continuing Fiercely
While Germans Struggle
for River Vesle ,
BRITISH RIGHT FLANK
NOT GREATLY AFFECTED
Attack in Flanders by Teutons
Believed to Bea Subsid-
iary Affair
(ey Associated Press.) }


The Germans, striking south from
the Chemin des danes after carrying
that important ridgesfesterday, have
pushed rapidly and Effected q cross
ing OF the Aisne river. between Vailly
and Berry-au-bac. 'E
This represents a front of nearly
twenty miles along which the armies
of the crown prince have crossed the
Aisne. In addition they have pushed
south of the river and are striking
for the river. Yesle, which parallels
the Aisne along the greater part OF
this front at an average distance OF
about five miles. " t....
The battle is continuing fiercely
along the whole Aisne front today
the brunt of it being borne by the
French. French communications are
excellent in this sector however, and
the probability is that reserves are
speedily being sent up to the threaten
ed points. -.
The British when the battle started
apparently were holding line ,ap
proximately twelve miles long, be
tween BermicOurt. several miles north
west of Rheims, and Craonelle. across
the Aisne to the northwest, the line
straddling the Aisne at about mid
way this distance, near Berry -au-bac
There is no indication that the Brit
ish right flank was materially affect
ed by the shock. The left flank, how
ever, felt the effect Of the impact
upon the French front further vast
where crossing Of the Aisne was
forced, and the British left was OBJ
liged to fall back in conformity.
The British line to the west OF
Berry.au. .bac is now apparently Who'll
" south of the Aisne. =,
The German attack IN Flanders was
evidently subsidiary affair, although
there was an extremely heavy concen
tration of. troops for the limited front
attacked. The French bore the brunt
of this blow and repulsed 1t. The
Germans succeeded only in pushing
in something like half mile south
OF Dickebusch lake. g -!
This morning the British and French
made a counter attack in this sector
which was progressing well at lat
est advices and promisedtt turn the
whole German effort on the northern
front into complete failure which
had cost the enemy heavily, d.
Military opinion seems to be sway
ing between the view that the attack
between scissors and Rheims, Is the
main enemy effort, or whether ne is
planning to deal an even greater blow
at the Amiens front.
In view Of the persistence with
which the Germans are following up
their early success in forcing the Aisne
crossing it seems probable that de-
termined following up Of the enemy
effort, in the shape Of a drive for
Paris will be looked for.

arguments in the trial Of Grace Lusk
who Is charged with the murder OF

be in the hands OF the jury by tomor
row night.
Five. experts retained lby the de
fense testified that Miss Lusk was In
sane at thte time of the shooting, and
experts retained by the state testified
that she was quite sane. The defend

D. S. Tular, who made the opening
argument for the prosecution, de-
manded the extreme penalty of the
law for the defendant. Mr.. Tullar
argued that the evidence proved that
Miss Lusk was sane at the time OF
the tragedy and quoted her own testi-
mony as proof Of her ability to distin-
guish between right and wrong.
Mr.. Tullar told the jury to remem-
ber that Dr.s Roberts was not on trial
and that the only question that faces
them 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."" a..
Henry Lockney began the argument
to the jury for the defense. He de-
clared that the jury had the choice
of five verdicts as follows: Guilty Of
first degree murder, guilty of second
degree murder, guilty of manslaughter
in the third degree, not guilty and not
guilty because insane. The first he
said, involved generalization, the sec
ond was without generalization, and
the third was any Staying done in the
heat of anger. .s-...
Mr.. Tullar asserted tina at the in
terview on June 21 between Miss Lusk
and Mrs. Roberts, the school teacher,
after being assailed for her relations
with DR.. David Roberts, deliberately
went upstairs, obtained a pistol and
on her return calmly and deliberate.
