investigation by Government
Shows Little Hostility to
United States.

WASHINGTON. April 9.-Gratify-
ing reports have been made 10 the
department OF justice from its
agents in all parts u the country
on the behavior OF Germans and
German-A Americans following the
decla ration Of a state of war be-
tween the two nations. While
about 100 special arrests have been
ordered and others are expected.
Atty Gen. Gregory said Sunday
night that so far the situation $
very encouraging.
The attorney general and Asst.
Atty. Gen. Warren, in charge of
plot Investigations, conferred with
Pres't Wilson late Sunday afternoon
and discussed with him the activi-
ties Of Germans in the United
States and Central and South Amer
lea.
AS a result Of its request that en-
ployes Of the government in all
parts OF the country watch carefully
for the activities of German agents,
many reports have been received at
the department OF justice, and these
are being investigated as rapidly
and as thoroughly as possible.
Although some reports have indi-
Gated that German spies are en-
ployes in the government service, so
far there have been no arrests i'm
this connection. Department of
Justice officials would not say Sun
day night whether any were expect
ed.
Protests in large numbers have
been made in large numbers

however, the rule will be vigorously

the war is provided for by Emper-
or William in his order 10 Chan
cellor Won Bethmann- Hollweg, di-
recting reforms in the Prussian
electoral law. He declares that lin
view OF the gigantic deeds OF the
entire people there is no more room
in Prussia for elections by the
classes" In connection with this
phase of his proposal, Emperor Will
liam said:
Reform of the Prussian diet and
liberation Of our entire inner po-
hucal life are especially dear 10 my
heart. For the reform Of the cleo
toral law of the lower house prepar-
atOry work already had been begun
at my request at the outbreak OF
the war
Il charge you now to submit 20
me definite proposals of the minis
try of state so that upon the return
of our warriors this work. which is
fundamental for the internal for
nation of Prussia, be carried out
by legislation. In view of the gi-
gantic deeds of the entire people
there is, in my opinion, no more
room in Prussia for election by the
classes.
The bill will have TO provide
further for direct and secret cleo
ton of deputies. The merits of the
upper house and its lasting signifi-
canoe for the state no king of Prus-
STA will misjudge. The upper house
will be better able to do justice to
the gigantic demands Of the coming
time if il unites in its midst, in
more extended and more proper
tional manner than hitherto. from
