indictments for consipracy to thwart the governments war plans appear to be in prospect as a result of Wednes- days nation wide raid of Industrial Workers of the World offices by de- partment of justice agents. Evidence is said to be fast accommodating to sup port the belief tha; a gigantic conspi- racy has existed for some time to erip- pie the government in carrying on the war. Its notifications have extended in virtually every state and that num- erous anti-war activities which appear toemanate from many sources in realt- ity had thier foruntain head in a single group of cOnspirators.
 Ant-Draft Plans.
 Anti-draft demonstrations. crippling of war industries by sO-called labor disturbances. burning of crops and continuous preaehment of anti-ally sentiment, intended to embarrass the government and retard the exercise of it's full strength in prosecuting the war appear. from recent disclosures to have been included within the scope of the alleged conspiracy.
 Inquiry Is Pushed
 Into the formation and the workings of this alleged conspiracy. the depart ment of justice has begun a ninquiry more comprehensive. it is said, than any launched since this country's en- try into the war.
 
 How closet ythe anti-war activities and propaganda have been inter-relat- ed is to be determined largely by the federal grand jury, now sitting at Chi cago. investigating documents seized in raids Wednesday of l. W. WI anc socialist offices of that city. Indica- tions are that thealleged conspiracy had its origin in Chicago and for some time was actively directed from that city.

United States attorneys who have not accumulated documentary evidence which apparently supports the theory of a great conspiracy are said to be few in number It is prob able that much of this evidence will be presented to the grand juries.
 Vast Is Propaganda.
 So vast is the accumulation of pa- pers of all description seized by the government agents that the great bulk still lies unsifted and the exact deter of their contents and signif- icance probably will not be reached for several days.
 Results Satisfying.

 The results are very satisfactory" was all that MT. Fitts would say.
 Government Strengthened.
 The governments hands have been greatly strengthened by the seizure )f papers in contemplated proceedings against persons identified with the l. W. w. and others whose activities nave been for some time under suryeil- ance of the departments bureau of in iestigation.

 Many of these documents are said o relate to labor disturbances in the west and the Pacific northwest which recently resulted in determination by he government to use all forces at it's command if necessary. even to the eN- ent of despatching troops to the scene If trouble. to prevent the tie-up of war industries or their serious curtailment
