ration of war against Austria and the

informed through Italian sources that
Teuton money has been paid into some
of the organizations raided. This
money was handled by agents of Ger.
many's allies against whom the Unit
ed States has not yet declared war,
but who are permitted free run of this
country.
Raids Are Successful.
Department Of Justice officials char
acterized the raids as successful in
every particular.
We got every scrap of evidence
that we expected to get said one
of the officials of the department.
This is taken to mean that the de-
partment has clinched the stories
which have been told by the repre-
sentatives of the Allies. Their in.
formation follows closely along the
line of that which has been gathered
by several senators and representa-.
tives to Congress. who said German
money was behind the l. ". w. prop
