WASHINGTON. November 1.-THE
ways when it moves to break un the
conspiracy, now alleged To exist. to de-
stroy munitions factories and create
labor troubles in order to hamper the
shipment of munitions to the allies IL
will proceed through diplomatic chan
ncls. by handing cxequaturs to every
consular representative Of Il foreign
government who is connected with the
plots, and it will prosecute through
the Department of Justice every civilian
against whom 1t obtains sufficient evil
dcucc.
IL was learned from high authority
tonight that the government will not
take another open step against those
alleged 10 he concerned in the con-
spiracy until 1t is prepared 10 stamp
out their activities by wholesale ar
rests simultaneously all over the cnun-
try. Department OF Justice officials
make no secret of the fact that at
present scores OF men-many OF them
representatives Of foreign governments
are under constant surveillance by
agents of the United States

act is secret. not known ever, to many
of the department officials They know,
however. that when Attorney General

ished that enough evidence has been
obtained to. convict all the civilians
! implicated in the courts the order for
the wholesale arrests will go forth AT
the hn I'M.

some of the representatives of foreign
governments. whose names have been
mentioned in connection with the muni-
tions plots, may have to leave this

Gardcd rs the head OF the movement

featuring war munitions, would serve
as a warning to all others engaged In
tho same activities. Officials soon

was disregarded.
WILL. COMPLETE CASE
BEFORE SHOWING HAND
The government now plans to COM
pletc its case against every one con-
cerned. from the chief plotters dcwn
to the men who do the actual work,
before showing its hand. The con-
spiracy. however, is admitted to be so
great and Ia have so many ramifica-
tions. that collecting the evidence has
been long and tedious task. Op-
timism in official circles is responsible
for the belief that much of the evil
dcnce has been collected. and that the
way is cleared To getting more.
