of 8 raid conducted by the local police on

purpose traffic In young girls, is operating
GU both sides OF the Atlantic and that
agents are scattered broadcast to lure girls
from their homes, especially In foreign
countries, to lives Of deprayity in this ana
other cities.
The investigation was primarily inspired
by the German consular service and the
raid resulted In the arrest of 1l3 girls and
a number Of men, some Of the litter sus-
pected Of being agents in the sinister busi-
charge Of the matter and today all Of the
defendants were held TO bail for a further

ly apprehend him.

assert, is one of the distributing agents In
Schoen, arrested In the raid, are said to
occupy similar positions.

precedented crowds Of college men and their
friends arrived IN this city tonight and the

an hour earlier than the Yale men. be-
cause Of the long ride to the feld from the

morrow night as we are In anticipation OF
