CELEBRATE
NORWAY'S
FREEDOM

Norwegian Independence day
was celebrated Thursday night
and Friday by hundreds of ma.
tives of Norway in Tacoma.
1t was not so much Norwe-
gian celebration, as 1t was Q
celebration of Independence day
May II.
This was emphasized by Rev
o. j. Ordal, addressing a monster
celebration and overflow mass
meeting in Glide Rink Thursday
night, attended by about 1900
persons.
Since the days of the Vikings,
the Norwegians have been liberty
loving people," he said, land this
spirit is entirely in harmony with
the democratic, free institutions
of America"
Ordal quoted saying of Price
Collier that "the proper place for
a statue of Liberty with all the
world to choose from, would be
on one of those bleak promon-
tories on the west coast of Nor
way jutting out into the sea to-
ward England and America"
Fridays celebration was to
consist largely of an evening
meeting. Our Savior's church
So. 18th and j, for prayer for the
success of the American and al
lied arms.
Norway gained her independ-
ence from Denmark on May II,
1914. From then dates the de-
velopment of Norwegian indus
tries and institutions. In the
same year Norway formed union
with Sweden, which was broken
again in 1906.

WASHINGTON, ID. c., May
17.-An allied offensive Of
sizeable proportions with
Great Britain, France, the
United States, Italy and
probably Japan participating,
was predicted in entente
naval quarters today.
These authorities declare that
the British raids against the Os-
tend and Zeebrugge U-boat nests
followed by the successful Ital-
ian sally against Pola and Duraz-
20 are evident forerunners OF
further spectacular sea action.
Simultaneous action by the
British-American naval forces
against the Germans in the
North sea and by the Franco-Ital-
ians against the Austrians in the
Adriatic, is believed to be in the
allied plan of action.
The Belgian raids have shown
the possibility of getting past the
German mine fields around the
U-boat bases.
The complete destruction of the
bases, as we'll as decentralization
of the German line near the Bel
gian coast, could perhaps be ac-
complished by the English chan
mel actions. And at least the Teu-
ton might be forced to shift his
bases eastward.

WAUKESHA, Wis, May
17.-Dr. David Roberts, for
love of whom Miss Grace
Lusk, 40, killed his wife last
June, took the witness stand
for the prosecution today
and unsparingly related the
details of their intimacy.
When he testified that she met
him in Y. M. c. A. and asked
him Ito take her to Chicago for
a good time" the woman on the
rack charged with murder leaped
to her feet.
"Oh, that isn't true" she
screamed Historically.
She crumpled into the arms of
her aged father, who came from
a small Wisconsin town to aid
his baby" She was weeping bit
terly.
Goes Ruthlessly On.
DIR. Roberts continued with his
testimony, hardly paling in the
dramatic scene.
His words ground into the dust
the last hint that there might be
any lingering love between the
school teacher and him.
Prosecutor Corrigan asked
bluntly:
lon your trips and during your
conferences about publishing your
book was there in your relations
anything illicit?"
Judge Martin Lueck at this
point instructed the witness he
need not answer IL he feared to
incriminate himself, hut Roberts
unflinchingly replied:
Eyes, SIR"
- WAS there in your meeting al
Chicago?" asked the prosecutor.
Eyes, SIR"
"other places?"
Eyes"
Bring In Letters.
The prosecution then began
reading a number of letters-cor-
respondence between Miss Lusk
and Roberts when they we're at
the height OF their happiness. The
state hoped to show by these let
tiers how Miss Lux alleged feel
ing of enmity toward his wife in-
creased as her love story with
Roberts progressed.
The prim exterior by
which Waukesha knew Grace
IAsk, was revealed today rs
covering strong passion
which bereft her of sanity
when she slew the wife OF
DIR. David Roberts, the man
Il she loved.
Three state witnesses in her
trial on murder charges told of the
shooting last June when Mrs.
Roberts visited the 40-year-old
school teacher and tainted her
with being his plaything.
And while the jury heard her
own lawyers reveal her passion
torn soul, another was placed on
trial before the bar of public opin-
ion.
DR.. Roberts, church pillar and
solid citizen, saw his life barred
before his neighbors.
