 THEY WILL REACH COAST

 MILLION MEN.

He added that the German offensive thus far had proved a failure, owing to heavy losses and that German high command was waiting to obtain more artillery. Germany had lost fin killed wounded and made prisoner three million men, he added.
 Answering questions about opinion of the reichstag main committee on the situation on the western front and the end of the war, the news papers informant said:
 "We still believe, according to mes- sages from our military leaders that we shall reach the north coast where our guns can bar navigation of the channel and fire at south England It is suggested from the German side that with this, another course of the war will begin and so far as Ger many is concerned 1t will be easy to start armistice negotiations.
 ''We want neither the mine districts at Lorraine's west frontier, or Ant werp."

PROPOSED TO GERMANIzE THE UNITED STATES
Testified to Hearing Re
 ports That the Rifles Were Stored on a Farm Near New York and Others in Warehouse in Brooklyn.

New York, May tI.--lnquiry by the state attorney generals office today into reports of hoarding of ammuni- tion in the UnHed States by Ger man agents developed testimony by New York brokers and they doubted the existence of one million Mauser| rifles and one billion cartridges which they had tried to buy or sell
 One of the witnesses, Edgar GIolmes of New York, testified that he had been informed by James H. Crossley that the rifles had been smuggled from Krupp works at Essen and would De used in an effort to "Ger- manize the United States if the Ger mans should capture the channel ports"
 Gustave Lussing, who was born in the German province of Schleswig- Holstein and was naturalized thirty years ago, was mentioned most often in the testimony. Most of the wit nesses testified that he tried to sell the rifles, but one claimed that he had tried to buy 250,00O.
 Lussing was described by his law yer, William II. Ford, of New York. as New Jersey farmer and inter- ested in developing of a coke oven and mono-rail projects. Lussing was at the hearing under subpoenas, but was not askesd to testify Deputy Attorney General Becker in adjourn ing the hearing until tomorrow said
 "I want Mir. Lussing to hear every thing that is said here"
 It is understood that Lussing will testify later ,
 The nearest Identification of the owners of the rifles was in testi- | mony by Hartford T. Marshall, a New York lawyer, that they were German Americans who feared to endangef their reputation by disclosing them selves.

SOVIET GOVERNMENT
GUSTS ANARCHISTS
Battles in Moscow Headquar.
ters Before Some of Groups
Surrendered
BY ARTHUR RANSOME
Special Cable to Epening Public Ledger

Copyright, 1918, by Ncro York Times Co.
Moscow. May 2s.
The Soviet Government has finally
cleaned up the anarchist movement in
Moscow. a few days ago strong Soviet
forces appeared simultaneously before
twenty-six different anarchist head
quarters and demanded the surrender of
all weapons within five minutes In many
cases the anarchists yielded at once. but
others offered strong resistance. Where
surrender was long delayed. 1t is re-
ported the Soviet used four-inch guns.
Strong patrols were in the streets, and
order was kept by chains of Soviet SOL
diers. In one big house. after the front
had been blown to pieces. the anarchists
put up the fight in cellars. and only
were dslodged by smoke bombs. Three
hundred arrests were made and num-
ber Of anarchists were killed and
wounded. The Soviet forces lost three
killed and comparatively small number
of wounded
The next day they went round to vari-
Gus palaces and other buildings from
which the anarchists had been dislodged.
Some we're badly smashed up. pictures
were ruined, there were bullet holes in
the walls and statuary lay about on the
floors Whole rooms We're packed with
valuable things stolen by the Hooligans,
who attached themselves to anarchist
groops
Doubtless Counter-revolutionar are
making use of the anarchists. A numbe,
of Russian officers were arrested with
the anarchists. Among the weapons
captured was a German machine gun Of
the latest pattern. Thus the Soviet
finally has shown itself capable Of up
roofing movement which all previous
Governments had not dared to touch.
