fRv Assoclnred Press.l

Chicago, May 14.-Count James
Minotto. son-in-1aw of Louis F.
Swift, the packer, was taken into
custody here today by Deputy Unit
ed States marshals, two weeks after

Ready For Use If Ger
mans Reached The Chan
mel Ports
BROKER TRIED
TO BUY THEM
Washington Hotel Owner
Gives Itemized State
ment of Stocks
(By Associated Press.)

New York, May 14-Reports
that thousands Of rifles had
been secretly imported from the
Krupp works at Essen in order to
'Germantze' the United States were
related today at an inquiry conduct
ed by State Attorney General Lewis
into rumors of boarding of arms by
German interests in the United
States.
Edgar A. Holmes, of this city, a
witness, credIted the reports to "a
man named James H. 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 1000, 900
rifles had been imported from Essen
via Hoboken docks of two German
steamship companies, and were to be
used in the United States If the Ger
mans were successful in reaching
the English channel ports.
Mr.. Holmes identified a copy of
letter written by himself offering to
sell 100000 nausers,, and 100000
cartridges.
Never Saw Rifles. ~
Holmes testified that he never seen
the articles but had talked with an
engineer named Francis L. Judd, who
said he had seen boxes containing
280,000 rifles. Two months ago,
Holmes said, the United States tried
to buy them, but they were not pro-
|duced.
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 auto
mobile ride of an hour and half from
Broadway.
Charles. Fl. Murray, a. hotel owner
Of Washington, d. c., testified he had
heard Of the existence of the rifles
through a Russian agent, Ivan Nor
odny, 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
Captain Hans Tauscher, had visited
it after dining at the German club
in New York.
Through Norodny. Murray met Ll1s-
sing and was shown an itemized
statement Of the quantity of rifles
hidden as follows:
Four hundred and fifty Thousand
Mauser guns, 250,000,0 900 cartridges.
100000 carbines, 1000 rounds CART
ridges 100000 rifles 9pd 500 ma
Lussing,. according to the witness,
said they were stored in forty diff
ferent places in the United States.
Robert T. Tucker, a tanner, Of
Charleston, S. c., testified OF hear
ing of the rifles through his ac-
quaintance with Russians in busi-
ness. Judd told Tucker, he said, he
had seen cannon and rifles at a
warehouse in Brooklyn. According
to the witness a New York lawyer
finally told him the rifles had been
sold.
II am thoroughly convinced that
those rifles are in this country and
that Lussing knows where they
are" said Tucker at the close Of his
examination.

Cruisers
(Ry Assoeiated Press.l

Washington, May 14.-Realizing
America and the allies have gained
the mastery over the present type
of submarine, Germany now is said
to be planning a new series Of big
U-boat cruisers with which she hopes
to again assume the advantage in
her unrestricted underwater warfare.
Announcement OF the new German
scheme IS made by George Legues,

interview reaching here in an official
dispatch. No details regarding the
new U-boats were given by NJ. Ley

especially to meet the menace of the
torpedo boat destroyers which have
proved so effective in hunting down

(By Associated Press.>

Amsterdam, May 14.-Emperor
William has issued a proclamation
concerning Lithunia in which he says
it is assumed Lithuania will partict-
pate in the war burdens of Germany.
In the proclamation the "independ-
ence" of Lithuania, allied with the
German empire, Is recognized.
1--WE assume that the conventions
to be concluded" the proclamation
says further, will take the interests
of the German empire into account
equally with those of Lithuania and
that Lithuania will participate In the
war burdens Of Germany which Sc
cured her liberation"
Lithuania is one Of the former
Russian border states which the
Germans have attempted to set up
as nominally Independent countries,
under German influence. Germany as
making every effort to exploit the
states economically but except in the
4case4of Poland has, not attempted to
force the former Russian subjects to
fight with the German army. as the
en-: peror's announcement indicates
may now be done in Lithuania. The
attempt to enroll q Polish army on
the same plea that Is now made in
the case OF Lithuania was a failure
and the Polish legion" was dis
banded.
The Vorwaerts, Of Berlin, said re-
Gently that strong opposition was de-
veloping among the Lthuanians to
transforming their country into
German semi federal" state. En-
tire independence is demanded.
The Lithuanians number about g.
-000,000 and are found mainly in the
former Russian governments OF Kov-
no, Wilma, Grodno and Suwalki.

SUMMARY OF WAR

Committed, as they are, TO a con-

western front, the Germans appar-

Along the vital sectors of the SAL.
tents driven by the Germans since
March 21, the enemy artillery has
been active, but there are no signs
of renewed infantry activity in
strength. North of KENNEL, around
Serre, on the line between Albert and
Arras, and on the southern end of
the British line across the Somme
and on the French sector Immediately
south, the German big guns are
hurting thousands of shells into the
allied positions.
Allied airmen are taking advantage
of every opportunity TO invade enemy
territory. Many more tons of bombs
have been dropped on important
railway centeFs and other military
targets behind the German lines in
Flanders and Picardy. in aerial
fighting the British have brought
down six more enemy machines

West Of Montdidier, in Picardy and

The announcement from Ottawa
that the American army was not to
be employed fully against the Ger

corrected.
Lively fighting continues In the

on the Italian front the artillery duel
goes on, but there are no indiea-

AT CASSELTON
Loyal Americans Will Lay
Plans to Gust Socialist
Control of State w.

The Cass county Republican COM
mittee today issued a call to the loyal
Republicans Of Cass county to meet
at Casselton at o'clock on the
evening of Friday, May IT. -
The call defines that the meeting
is for "men who are opposed to the
party in this state being under the
domination Of q gang of Social
lists. and the affairs Of our state
being directed from st. Paul
by men who are neither loyal in their
support of our country in war, OF
loyal in their support of our Presi-
dent. but whose sole effort, outside
of bettering themselves financially
is at this time, when the existence
Of democracy upon earth hangs in
the balance, directed to an attempt
to divide the people Of America and
particularly OF this state, through
the teaching of discontent. class
hatred and class prejudice"
1t is likely that the Republicans
will endorse candidates for legisla-
in the county, in two OF which
nominees are already in the field
in opposition to the Nonpartisan en-
dorsed candidates
Plans also will be laid for cooper
alton with the North Dakota Inde-
pendent Voters league to the end
that the ticket OF candidates endors-
ed recently at Minot may be NOM
mated in the Republican primaries.
Such meeting is called for Cassel-
ton, May II. at 8 p. m. in the high
school auditorium. and you as q loyal
American interested in your party
and your state assuring to our gov
ernment unqualified loyalty and sup
port in all things, are urgently re-
quested to be present. We have sent
this letter to only a comparatively
small number of Republicans, but
you are urged to get in touch with
all loyal Republican neighbors and
urge upon. them the necessity Of
their attending"
