Recent RAIDS BARE.
NATIONAL CONSPIRACY
|. w. w. PLOT TO THWART THE
UNITED STATES GOVERN
MENT'S WAR PLANS.
Evidence Accumulating Fast Support
belief That object Was To
Cripple Government.

Washington. Numerous indict-
ments on charges oil conspiracy to
thwart the Governments war plans
and tie it's hands in many ways ap-
pear to be in prospect as a result of
the nationwide raid of Industrial
Workers of the World officers by De-
partment Of Justice agents. Evidence
is said to be acCumulating fast to sup
port the belief that a gigantic con.
spiracy has existed for considerable
time to cripple the Government in car
rying on the war; that its ramifications
have extended into virtually every
state, and that numerous anti-war ac-
tivities, which appeared to emanate
from many sources, in reality had their
fountain-head in a single group of con-
spirators. Anti-draft demonstrations,
Gripping Of war industries by social
ed labor disturbances and by violence,
burning Of crops and continuous
preachment of antl-ally sentiment,
with other activities, tended to en-
barrass the Government and retard
the exercise of it's full strength in pros
ecuting the war, appear, from the re-
cent disclosures, to have been included
within the scope of the alleged con-
spiracy. Into the formation and the
workings of this alleged conspiracy
the Department OF Justice has begun
an inquiry more comprehensive, it is
said, than any launched since this
Countrys entry into the war.

English Land Values Jumn.

The effect Of the corn production bill
on the value of land throughout Eng
land Is most marked and there are
more inquiries for farms and small
estates than can possibly be satisfied.
The Spectator and financier are said
to be already operating. and instances
are quoted Of agricultural land chang
ing ownership twice week, each time
at a profit.
A prominent auctioneer at Devices,
wiltshire, said land was selling bet
ter now than for % years, and during
the present month his firm disposed of
over $6O00,0O0 worth at from $75 to
$I00 an acre.
Many Of the inquiries for estates of
between five and six thousand acres
are for the purpose of settling soldiers
and sailors on after the war.

FIVE BILLION DOLLAR
WAR BILL PRESENTED
Is Biggest Appropriation Measure
Ever Put Up To Uncle Sam-War
Forces Would Share Most.

Washington.-The biggest war bill,
one for more than $4,000, 100000, that
has been presented to Uncle Sam, was
pumped down on the desk of the
House. The urgent deficiencies bill,
asking for $4,S10,9 9,37O29, was re-
ported favorably by the Appropriations
Committee. 1t is not only the biggest
war bill, but the biggest appropriation
measure in the history of the United
States. Shortly after Chairman Fitz-
gerald had brought n the bill, Secre-
tary Daniels, of the navy, sent up a
special request for an item of 1925.
100000 with which to build submarine
destroyers, making the total appropria-
tion for war purposes S5,035, ,979, ,370.29.
Practically all of the money asked for
is needed in prosecuting the war. The
War Department and Navy Depart
ment get most of it, but other depart.
ments, whose work has been affected
indirectly by the war, need enlarged
allotments.
