STOCKHOLM. June 1.-THE action
of the Bolsteviki in putting MOSCOW
under martial law is probably due to
the uncovering of a plot which was
brewing when I left Russia, which
aimed at the overthrow Of the Boil
sheviki by simultaneous uprisings in
Moscow and Petrograd.
Prince Kropotkin, K SaYinkoff
and a number of cadet party leaders
we're involved in the plot.
Plans for the formation of Rus
sian army of worianen and peas
ants were outlined to the United
Press representative in a recent in
terview given by General Parsky,
formerly commander of the Russian
forces at Riga, but now military chief
of the Petrograd district.

PRESIDENT SENDS NOTE
Private Discussion Of Delicate Mat.

Sort.

UNITED Press Leased Wire Servicel
WASHINGTON, June 12.-Presi
dent Wilson is opposed to the Borah
open diplomacy" resolution, Senator
announced today in the
senate. Hitchcock read a letter from
the president, written to Secretary
Lansing, March -, just after Borah
had introduced his resolution provid.
Ing for open consideration Of all
treaties by the senate. The presi-
dent in his letter said that when on
January he advocated open diplo.
macy he meant that all treaties, after
ratification, should be made public.
He did not mean open consideration
by the senate, he said.
The Prussians' attitude, Hitchcock
clearly intimated, extends to the
treaty of yeace which will conclude
the present war. He does not intend
to urge open sessions of the peace
conferees, but only that all nations
signing the treaty shall fully inform
their people of it's terms after it has
been decided upon.
The presidents letter follows:
MY dear Mr.. Secretary: I wish you
would be kind enough to formulate a

you feel as l do that this is no time

there should be private discussions of
delicate matters, but that no secret

tered into and that air international
relations, when fixed, should be open

Cordially and sincerely yours.
WOODROW VIII SON"
Borah, replying to Hitchcock
quoted again the presidents speech
and said the language was open &c
only one conclusion: that the presi-
dent wanted open discussion OF cove
nants between nations in accordance
with what he later wrote.

American Coast Patrol Vessel
Has Battle With German
Submarine Off East
Shore.
DROPPING DEPTH BOMBS
HydropIane Attacked Dark Object Un-
der Surface Which
Proved to be a
Whale.

by Carl D. Groat, United Press Staff
Correspondent
WASHINGTON, June 12-An Ameri-
can coast patrol vessel has had one
battle from a German U boat raider.
From an unquestionable source to-
day came this fact together with the
fact that the navy has had mass OF
reports from patrol commanders. None
of these has been made public. Secre-
tary Daniels has taken the position
that only absolutely authenticated
cases of sinking or capture will be an
nounced.
But the United Press is in position
to announce that one of the many re-
ports indicated beyond doubt that
a patrol vessel fired on submarine
and dropped depth bombs about her.
The effect can only be conjectured.
A second case, not. quite so clear
cut yet believed by some officials to
be authentic, is on record.
Neither of the above mentioned IN
cfdents includes the case in which
United States destroyer interrupted a
IT boat in its attempt to sink the
Radioleine.
Both the cases cited occurred since
then. but have been kept secret up to
today.
Many naval district reports have
come in since the raiders first appear
ed, but the navy has persistentiy De
MED that it had information concern
ing the submarine situation other than
what it announced.
This was illustrated a few days ago
when the department had the news
of the vinland sinking all day, denied
it and only announced the sinking at
night after the crew had landed.
Among the strange occurrences not
ed NV the patrol reports was that OF
a hydroplane which dropped depth
bombs on a supposed submarine
fSubm arines can be seen a consider

Later, however, it developed that

WITH THE FRENCH ARMIES IN
THE FIELD, June 12-The German
casualties in the big offensive to

calculation, total at least 100000.
Having engaged 26o divisions In

sive, fifty-three divisions In the
Marine drive and twenty SO far be.
tween Montdidier and Noyan, the
Germans have thus employed total
of 333 divisions (3,996,00O men)
since March 81. Military experts es.
innate the average enemy loss at
least 1000 men to division.
With a maximum Of 210 divtsions
(2,52O00O men) on the west front
the above total means that great
number of divisions have been en-
gagged two or three times, while the
Germans still possess more than thtr-
ty fresh divisions 100000 men)
which have not yet been used.
Under the present organization OF
the German army In the west, the
cream Of the army, both officers and
men, is concentrated in Won Hutiers'
"shock army" This army Is counted
upon to deliver initial blows with ir-
resistabIe force, permitting less able
troops to pass through the breach
thus created.

even more terrific losses in the pres

day alone.
Since the beginning of the war the
consumption of German man power
has never been so great as It has
been in the last few months. Recent
terrific losses have already precipi-
tated the crisis in German electives.

ranks from auxiliary troops, which
