minister said, was incorrect.

1T was a great friendship which
was struck up between the London
crowd and the American boys who
have come across TO give them hand.
That was the feeling that persisted to
the last when the visitors ST good

TR0USER MYSTERY SOLVED
Load Removed From Minds of a Con-
scription Board In Indi-
ana.


Princeton. Ind.-A mystery has
been solved and load removed from
the minds of the members of the Glib
son county consumption board. Sew
eral weeks ago. after 100 young men
had taken the physical examination
for army service, the board found a
pair Of trousers remaining in the dress
ing room. Nobody claimed them, and
though they watched closely, the board
members saw no trouserless young
man going about the streets.
One day a young man from the vicin-
ity of Lyles station came in and
claimed the trousers.
He said he had on three pairs when
he came in to be examined and in the
hustle and hustle of getting his num-
erous clothes off and on again he had
overlooked one pair.

KAISER SENT GUNS
FOR US. REVOLT?
German Rifles Stored in America
for Uprising if Calais
Was Taken.
PLOT Barred IN new YORK
Reports That Arms Had Been Sent
to "Germanize" America Related
at Inquiry Conducted by
Attorney General.

New York, May 16.-Reports that
thousands of rifles had been secretly
imported from the Kurpp works at
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 ia the United States.
Edgar A. Holmes of this city, wit
ness, credited the reports to man
named George 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 steam
ship companies, and were to be used
in the United States II the Germans
were successful in reaching the Eng
lish channel ports.
Mr.. Holmes identified a copy of a
letter written by himself offering TO
sell 100000 Mausers and 100000
cartridges. The letter dated June 8,
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 $50,
600 rifles. Two months ago Holmes
said, the United States tried to buy
them, but they were not produced
Holmes had been in touch with United
States officials throughout the negotia-
tions, 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 H. Murray, a hotel owner of
Washington, D. C.. testified he had
heard of the existence of the rifles
through n Russian agent, Ivan Nor0d-
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 a party of
German officers. Including Capt. Hans
Tauscher. had visited 1t 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: 10000 Mauser guns. 10000
900 cartridges. 100000 carbines, 1000
rounds cartridges. 100000 rifles and
so machine guns.

his oral English on. Ore might say
he is up against it for laboratory facil-
tiles. But, says E. +. s., who has just
come from Japan, the students are
eager to seize every opportunity.
Miss Mann, an American, was walking
along the main street of Nikko one
day, when she was approached shy
ly by a native student, who said:
please, may / speak English with
you:
BE brief-what is it?" the lady re-
piled. For a minute the student
swayed back and forth in his agony
of phrasing a foreign sentence, and
then he exclaimed: Verify, verify, I

Mullins observes that, while married

He tells of a married man who but
