HOPE MOVE
IS CRUSHED
GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS HOPE
THAT ANTI-DRAFT PLOT HAS
BEEN CRUSHED.
on THE ALERT
Federal and Local Officers Thr0ugl-
out United States Will Continue
Their Work Up 70 Registra-
tion Day.

WASHINGTON, May 10, The
government officials hoped today
that they had crushed All anti-cOn-
scription plots. Officials were not
positive, however, that this was the
case. Riots like the Civil war days
were seriously regarded as possible.
Though the firm hand Of the govern-
ment is rounding up plotters IN sd
vance, It appeared to have at least
chilled the work Of the propagantIists.
Federal agents, United States Mar-
shals, state and local police and civic
and patriotic orders are at work over
the entire nation to show up the men
who would thwart Americas war
plans.
They will continue their tasks
through registration day, next Tues
day, and, il necessary National
Guarlsmen will be called into service
to qnell disorders.
The government investigators
trail led in many instances to pro-
German quarters.
The thoroughness OF the anti-reg-
istration propaganda conyinces an
thorities that it was largely pres
conceived program Of Teus0nic
agents.
In any event, the perpetrators
thereof will be punished to the full
extent Of the sedition law. or, II tho
new spy bill passes, other cases viii
be punished under that measure.
In this connection it was recalled
today that in the Civil war President
Lincoln sent over to the Confederate
lines a man named Vallandighann. i
candidate for governor OF Ohio, who
preached anti-draft.
Whether charges OF treason dan be
pressed in the present instance is
problematical, though the antl-regis-
tration plots manifcstly have the ef-
feet OF treason-giving aid and corr
fort to the enemy.
The thought Of imprisonment for
failure to register is deemed likely
to prevent all but a few slackers frum
needing the propagandists' proposals.
Talk Of political influences work.
ing to exempt political friends Is stiIl
heard here, though thus far no con-
crete proof Of such plan is in hand.
