Washington. May 13.--Documents
made available from the official files
of the government show Gutzon

against the aircraft program have led
to the impending inquiry, as having
been connected with negotiations for

German Rifles Stored in America
for Uprising if Calais
Was Taken.
PLOT Barred III new YORK
Reports That Arms Had Been sent
te "Germanize" America Related
at Inquiry Conducted by
Attorney General.

New York, May 16.--Reports that
thousands of rifles had been secretly
imported from the Krupp wol.-s at
Essen in order to "Germanize" the
United States were related on Tues
day at the inquiry conducted by State
Attorney General Lewis into rumors
of the boarding of arms by German in
terests in the United States.
Edgar A. Holmes of this city, q wit
ness, credited the reports to man
named James Ii. Crossley. Holmes,
as a broker, tried to buy the rifles,
but was unsuccessful, he said. During
the negotiations. he said, Crossley told
him that some 100000 rifles had been
imported from Essen by way of the
Hoboken docks of two German steamI
ship companies and were to be used
in the United States if the Germans
were successful in reaching the Engi
lish channel ports.
MIR. Holmes identified copy of q
letter written by himself Offering To
sell 100000 Mausers and 100000
cartridges. The letter, dated JUNE 81
was addressed to DR.. Thomas Darling
ton Of New York. former health COM
missioner.
Holmes testified he had never seen
the articles, but had talked with an
engineer named Francis L. Judd, who
said he had seen boxes containing 2o0,-
600 rifles. Two months ago, Holmes
said, the United States tried to buy
them, but they We're not produced,
Holmes had been in touch with United
States officials throughout the negotia
lions. he said.
Gustave Lussing was named by
Holmes as the man who was said by
various intermediates to be able to
deliver the goods, Judd told Holmes
the rifles had been in an East side
warehouse in New York and had been
removed, but were within an automo-
bile ride of an hour and a half from
Broadway.
Charles III. Murray a hotel owner OF
Washington, d. c., testified he had
heard of the existence of the rifles
through Russian agent, Ivan Norod-
ny, who claimed they had been taken
to an upstate New York farm and that
he had shot one of them himself.
Norodny said Lussing had a farm at
Woodbury. Falls and that party OF
German officers, including Capt. Hans
Tauscher, had visited it after dining
at the German club in New York.
Through Norodny, Murray met Lussing
and was shown an itemized statement
of the quantity of rifles hidden as fol-
lows: 100000 Mauser guns, 10000
900 cartridges, 100000 carbines, 1000
rounds cartridges. 100000 rifles and
so machine guns.
Lussing, according to the witness,
said they were stored in 40 places.

French Minister Declares Ger
many Knows War Against
Ships Won't Succeed.
ALLIES MASTERS OF SEA
Sinking Of Allies Ships by Divers
Shown to Have Dropped, While
Destruction Of Pirates Has
Grown Steadily.


Paris. May 15.-The effectiveness of
the German submarine campaign Is
declining. The German government Is
aware of this fact, declared Georges
Leygues, minister of marine, before
the naval committee OF the chamber
OF deputies, but has made the greatest
efforts to conceal it. He said that the
situation was most favorable and that
the sinkings of submarines In the first
three months of 1918 WIS greater than
the number built by the enemy.
Minister Leygues referred to the
statement made in the reichstag on
April IL by Vice Admiral Won Capelle,
German minister of marine. In which
he said 100000 tons of allies shipping
We're sunk monthly. This figure, the
minister said, was incorrect.
1t was reached and passed In April,
May and June of 1917. In July it de-
clined and In November 1t fell below
100000 and since has diminished con-
tinuously.
M. Leygues said tLat In February,
March and April 3,7n3 French steam
ers and 7SS French sailing vessels
passed through the danger zone where
a few months ago losses by torpedolng
We're very heavy. Not a single ship
was sunk.
On the other hand, he said, the num-
ber of submarines destroyed had In
creased progressively since January
in such proportion that the effective
ness of enemy squadrons cannot be
maintained at the minimum required
by me regulations. The number of
20" beats destroyed fn January, Feb.
ruary and March was far greater In
each month than the number construct
ed in the same month. In February
and April the number of submarines
destroyed was three less than the to-
tai destroyed In the previous three
months.
These results, the minister declared,
were due to the methodical character
of the war against submarines; to the
close coordination of the allied ma
vies; to the intrepidity and spirit ami
mating the officers and crews of naval
and aerial squadrons and to the inten-
sification of the use cs old methods and
the employment of new ones.
''The situation is most favorable"
the minister continued. "but 1t does
not authorize the slackening of effort.
Rather. it is necessary to redouble 1t,
as the enemy has put new submersi-
bles into service and is trying fresh
offensive. in which he plays for his
last stake"

DON'T HOLD WHEAT

So great has become the Euro
pean demand for flour that the
food administration Is urging
farmers not 70 hold wheat for
seeding their next crop except in
a few states where the period Of
harvesting winter wheat over
laps the period of planting.
While 1t has been the practice in
many communities for farmers
to hold over wheat for seed. the
food administration regards 1t
as unnecessary. 1t Is almost be-

to meet all seed requirements
