Washington, May 29--German in
fuences to encourage resistance to
army registration and the selective
draft uncovered in Texas by federal

In the Texas case, it is said by the
department of justice, an 0rganiza-
tion was formed some time ago osten-
sibly for the purpose of cooperative
buying. Its members were required
to take secret oath and soon after
the enactment of the army law, "a
strong German influence" succeeded
in turning its efforts to combat regis
tration. High powered rifles were
used to intimidate some persons.
Deal With Offenders.
In some western cities there were
evidences of an attempt to defeat
the registration, but the department
