AGENTS
OPPOSE LOAN
Campaign of Repression Is
Being Waged by Govern
ment Against These Men.

Washington, d. C.. Oct. lS.-The
treasury department has under way a
stern campaign of repression against
enemy agents guilty Of attempts TO
incite popular feeling against the
Liberty loan. The action is based on
reports forwarded to officials here. In
some parts Of the middle west efforts
to disparage subscriptions to the loan
have been especially noticeable. Sur
repttious activities Of seditious indi-
vlduals, it is said, have extended
even TO the national capital
Charges Of propa gandists that the
men Of the national army bitterly op-
posed the war were amply retuted by
an announcement that army subscrip-
tons already total S26,000,0Q0.
PrO-German deJOsitOrs in some
banks. il is reported. have eudeavOred
TO intimidate the institutions from as
sisting the loan by removing their &C
counts. Certain publications, it is
claimed, have printed editorials IN
sympathetic with the loan, and many
cases have been reported where prop
erty owners arbitrarily have refused
TO permit campaign posters to be
placed on their property.
