GERMANY PLOTS
 REVOLUTION IN
 UNITED STATES
Witness Declares Thousand Rifles and Machine Guns Shipped From the Krupp Works to United States
 For German Use

NEW YORK, May l4-Tha thousands of rifles were secretly imported from the krupp gun works Esscn Ger many into the United States report credited Jas Crossey by witness in the investigation held here by Nor ton F. lew attorney general for the State of New York
 Evidence had been gathered by state officials to the effect that friends of the German empire had been secretly loardng large number of rifles and great quantity Of munitions. Sixty witnesses subpoenaed by the state testify at the investigation.
 The witness caused sensation at the inquiry this morning when he stated that James Crossley had said million rifles had been imported into this country by way of the Hoboken docks and being held in this country tor the of the Germans It that plot was on foot whereby the thousands of Germans in America who are loyal to the kaiser would make attempt Geranize the United States With Americas efforts concentrated on the overthrow of the Hun in Europe the adher ents of the imperial German government doubt thought it would be appropriate time nsurrecton brought out in the inquiry this morning that it was the plan of the potters to utilize we'll known German steam
 ship companies in the that the Germans were able to reach channel ports.
 All the evidence to show that very definite plan had been made to start serious trouble in the United States is thought that the inquiry will show that some very prominent Germans in America who thought to be loyal citizens involved in the plot Each witness be- fore the inquiry being examined very mnutely and ques toned closely regarding any information he may be able furnish toward the undoing of the Hun plotters.

ITALIANS HOLD
 BACK INVADERS

ROME, May 14.-In an official statement made today it is said that the enemy's attempt to renew the attacks on Monte Carno have failed. Italian and British patrols raided the village of Pedes-C Califor. mia and the Austrian trenches in front of Avenue. inflicting heavy losses on the enemy. It is thought that the allied forces will be able to hold the position of Monte Carno successfully.
 Lively artillery action by both the Austrian and allied forces are re- ported in the Torale region. British airmen today engaged a number of hostile airplanes and came out vic. torious. Eleven of the enemy planes were put out of commission during the engagement. No casualties of any importance are reported as oc- curing to the British fliers. A squad of English airmen today successfully bombarded the enemy abuttments near Asiago. doing considerable dam age to hostile positions there.

LIST
 F0RPAST WEEK
 LARGEST KNOWN

LONDON, May 14-The casualty list of the British army on the west ern front for the week ending today shows a total loss of 41,612 men. Of this number. 5,566 officers and men are reported as killed, the rest being either wounded or missing.
 It is believed this weeks list will be the largest reported by the Brit ish army for any week of the war, owing to the fact that a complete casualty list is not available until some time after the action in which they were sustained. A great many of the casualties reported in this weeks total were caused when the fighting in Picardy and Flanders was at its height Although all the allied armies have made d great eff fort to furnish list of those dead, wounded or captured as quickly az possible to relieve any anxiety on the part of the public, it is only natural that it would take some time to get the list verified and correct ed. The work of tabulating the men in the field requires an i'm mense amount of clerical labor. and during any heavy engagement there are sure to be numerous losses that are not quickly discovered

RECRUITS MOVE
 INTO TRAINING
 CAMPS RAPIDLY

WASHINGTON, D. G., May 14.- Twenty-four states and the District of Columbia were called upon to- night by Provost Marshal General Crowder to furnish, as their quota for the National Army, fifty-one thou sand. six hundred men. These will be the men to be moved to the can tonments from May 20 to May 24 and from May 2s to June 2.
 During five days, beginning May 25, it is expected that approximately 233.000 men will be called and sent to training camps. This number in- cludes all the calls made for tech nical men and those who are spe- cially fitted for some branch of the government service.
 Three hundred and sixty thousand. six hundred men are expected to be sent to the training camps by June from the various States of the Uni on. This will be nearly fifty per cent of the 80O.O00 men that the war department has expected to call to the colors this year.

GERMANS WISH
 TO SHIFT PART
 OF WAR BURDEN

AMSTERDAM, May 14.-What is believed to be move on the part of Germany to force wedge in the Baltic provinces is brought to light by the fact that Kaiser Wilhelm has issued a proclamation wherein he assumes that Lithuania will bear part of Germany's war burden.
 The large industrial and manufac. turing regions in this district would be of material aid to Germany in conducting her campaign against the allied forces. Such an action on the part of the German imperial gov ernment was made possible by the treaty signed at Brest Litovsk with Russia. Railway facilities for the transportation of supplies, while not of the best. are better in this DOT tion of the provinces owing to their industrial development than they are in Russia proper.
