In the few instances in which the de-
partment had been asked what course it
was pursuing with respect to certain sus-
pected individuals, the inquiries have
been met with blank refusal to discuss
the subject. To this has been added the
statement that, as matter of public
policy, discussion by officials was regard
ed as unwise.
1t is the manifest intention of the de-
partment to reveal nothing in spy cases
until each incident reaches the stage Of
public prosecution.
A considerable increase in the corps
at the disposal of the department for
secret investigation has been made and
is being continued Much of the work
that is being done is centered in officials
of the Bureau of Investigation, who
have not communicated what they are
doing, even to other officials of the de-
partment for fear of an inadvertent

Washington the event of hostili-
ties with Germany there will be sud-
den roundup OF German spies and
agents in this country of surprising mag
nitude, according to an official of the
Department of Justice, who frankly
stated the department is endeavoring
to conceal every scrap of specific in
formation it possesses touching on any
phase of neutrality.
The Bureau of Investigation of the
Secret Service corps has been carrying
on very quiet but extensive inquiry
for several months. That it has been
effective has been exhibited i'll the few
instances in which German agents have
been charged with unneutral acts.
1t is strongly intimated the department
has enough information catalogued so
that overnight most of the German
agents in the United States could be
seized or placed under effective survel-
lance if such course were advisable or
necessary.

THE NEW. GERMANY
Can the Old Bottle Be Made To Hold
New Wine?


What will Germany be like after the
war? In the conflicts of men, as in the
convulsions of nature, the ancient land
marks may be once more visible when
all is over, but so transformed that
recognition is difficult. How will the
new Germany differ from the old? The
question is unanswerable for the pres
ent Yet there may be partial answer
to it in the speech OF the German Chan
cellor before the Prussan Diet. He was
speaking to AN audience less receptive
to liberal ideas than any that would
have gathered in the Imperial Reichs-
tag. That makes what he said the more
significant. Prussia is the soul of Ger
many at war. DR.. Won Bethmann-H oil
veg now tells the Prussians that Ger
many at peace must have new soul.
Equal rights and participation by all
in the work of the state"-such con-
ception of government must dominate
the empire if it is to survive in world
increasingly devoted to democratic
principles. "The most gigantic tasks
that ever confronted nation" will have
to be accomplished The Chancellor is
under no illusions as to the nature of
the burden. "Woe to the statesman"
he cries, who does not recognize the
signs OF the times and who. after this
catastrophe, the like OF which the world
has never seen, believes that he can take
up his work at the same point at which
it was Interrupted
The labor advocate. [volume] (Cincinnati, Ohio) 1912-1937, 1917-03-24

No doubt, DIR. Won Bethmann- Holl-
veg would be glad to believe that ,Prus-
| sian militarism has shot its bolt. Even
in peace Germany has not had constitu-
tional government in the modern sense,
for no government that is not response
BILE to the elected representatives of the
people deserves to be so characterized
Moreover, the Reichstag itself is far
from being a truly representative body.
Its members are elected by universal
suffrage, to be sure, but inequality OF
representation gives disproportionate
weight to the rural districts at the ex
pense of the .centers OF population. Thus
the Socialists have never had the num-
Der of members to which their votes
entitled them. Prussia is overwhelm-
ingly superior to the other states, with
only 4S and Saxony 30. Germany is in
somewhat the same position in this re-
spect as England was before the re-
potent element in the remarkable
growth of Socialism, which the En-
peror frequently denounced as menace
in the days before the war A new Ger-
many will have to give due weight to
the Socialistic ideal, which is indeed no
small part of her present governmental
ideal; one might call it the socialism Of
efficiency But Germany at war has
been controlled, not by her people or
her government, but by her military
heads The Cancellor knows this as
well as anybody, for his authority has
suffered by it. And when the Socialists
went into the conflict as patriotically as
the Junkers, they threw away, for the
time at least, their democratizing inhu-
ence.

Can the old bottle hold the new wine?
Will Germany renew herself by reform
or by revolution? The Chancellor evil
IDENTIFY believes that revolution can be
averted' only by reform. 1t would be
idle to predict what the attitude Of the
German people toward the Hohenzol-
lern dynasty will be after the war. They
have been in sense democratic even
under imperialism; but they have never
been republican. Not once since 184S
has the Throne seemed to be in danger;
and then the danger proved not to be
serious. They have inclined to the prin-
ciple laid down by Charles / of England
that it is not the concern of the peo-
pie to govern, but only to be governed
we'll Nor have they shown the same
instinct for parliamentary rule as the
English and Americans, or even the
French and Italians. In ordinary times
such national characteristics change
slowly. War is another matter, A vic
tory, perhaps peace without victory
might leave Germany with her present
government liberalized. A defeat might
provoke an outburst before which the
whole frame of things would totter,

Those in charge of the recruiting for the naval reserve corps are en- tirely satisfied with the manner Tn which men are responding to the call for enrollments. Lieut.. H. c. Hine, who is in New London, said he was agreeably surprised by the class of men applying for enrollment as most of them have some training that would render them valuable for such service.
 . George s. Goldie and silam M Mar sters of the executive committee are engaged lining up recruits. Monday MT. Marsters went to Noank and Mys- tic while Captain Goldie came up around Montville and Norwich doing the same sort of work. The Chelsea Boat club of Norwich and other or Eanizations will be visited by MT. Col men can be provided. In Noank and hearty cooperation.
 Men connected with the yachts at Shaw'S cove have all signified their willingness to assist and in many cases have enrolled. Those who have not enrolled are waiting orders from the owners of the boats to learn just what is contemplated by them before en- rolling in this district.
 The committee in charge of the re- cruiting will meet during the. first part of the week and at that time it is hoped that every thing will be in readi- ness to start vigorous campaign. s list of names of those who are espec- ially valuable men is being made up and each man will be interviewed by a member of the committee.

LECTURED ON 0RlENTM RUGS
Mas Sarah C. Flint of Boston Museum of Fine Arts Appeared Before Slater Hall Auience Under Auspices of Norwich Art Stusents Assocstion-Lantern Slides Illustrated De signs and coIorng

France also in the reign of Louis XIV produced some very fine rugs in the GobeIin factories.
 All rugs were formerly called Turk ish due to the fact that no matter where made they were marketed in Turkey and were generally believed to have emanated from there.
 The old color recipes were passed down by word of mouth from the master weaver to his sons or ap- prentices. They were vegetable dyes and when they faded it was with a general softening of tone over the whole fabric. The family rugs were so much thought of and so highly val ued that often at a, mans death the rugs were cut in strings and divided among his children.
 Miss Flint had pictures of many rare and beautiful old rugs. iIlustrat- ing the designs and coforing and de- tail in each Many of them had a central medallion and one in each corner with floral effects through the border. Sorae had vase designs, oth- CTS were purely geometrfc. There were many rugs with hunting scenes and one shown had four different stores depicted on it. Many had inscrip- tions woven in the design. One very beautiful rug. the ArdebiI carpet, wov- en in 1889 was purchased from a Per- sian mosque and now hangs in South KeEsington Museum. Its mate. not so well preserved Is in the Metropolitan Museum Most of the examples shown were woven in the 18th century.

HOME GUARD DRILL
 TO START THURSDAY
New London's Battalion is Getting
 Right Down to Business.

At a mass meeting, held at the coun- cil chamber of the city hall in New London Capt. Henry N. Adams was elected temporary major of the New London Home Guard battalion and drilling is to start Thursday night, March 15.
 Representative William A. Holt ex- plained the subjects and plans dis cussed before the military committee. Tn the course of his remarks MT. Holt said that it had been estimated by competent authorities that Connecticut produces about three-fourths of the ammunition made in this country. In this connection he said that Connecti- cut would need tremendous protection and anything New London might do toward this end would be sincerely ap- preciated by the state. MT. Holt said the governor of the state had been invested with authority to appoint a board consisting of three men who are to take full charge of the volunteer home guard. Nothing definite has yet been decided. therefore how decisive steps can be taken, but it is assured that before a great while working plans will be laid out and carried into effect.
 C. NJ. Shay asked what was the status of Groton in the matter He was told that Groton was just as much a part of the movement as was New London and he was put on the com- mittee and asked to take the matter up with citizens of the borough. Mir Shay consented.
