Declaration To Be Signal
for Arrest of Scores
of Suspects
Leading Enemy Agents
Have Escaped Net
Fearing u. S. Move, They
Departed-Million Per-
sons Affected

WASHINGTON, Dec. 4.-Scores Of
Austro-Hungarian subjects suspected
Of being enemy agents in this country
will be arrested within a few hours
after a declaration of war against Aus
tria. Many Of these men have been
under surveillance by Department OF
Justice agents for months, but have not
been taken into custody because of lack
of definite evidence against them.
When Congress adopts President
Wilson'S recommendation that state
Of war against Austria-Hungary be de-
clared, unnaturalized subjects Of the
dual monarchy automatically till be-
come enemy aliens and be subject TO
summary arrest and internment.
For several months government
agents have been gathering information
on the hostile activities Of Austrians
who we're not subject to the restric-
tions imposed on all unnaturalized Ger
mans by the state OF war with Ger
many, and those caught in illegal acts
were arrested and tried under the
usual criminal statutes. Many others
were free to travel and obtain informa-
t;on valuable TO Americas enemies
however. while keeping their conduct
technically within the law.
MANY Have Fled Country
Government Investigators recently
reported an exodus of educated Aus.
trians from the United States ana IL
is believed they fed in anticipation OF
n formal declaration OF war dgalhs'

nected with hostile interests. Conse'
ouently. a declaration OF war at TINS
time would be too late 10 permit the
apprehension Of some of the most dan
gerous leaders of the enemy espionage
system.
The German spy system in the United
States to-day is known to be manned
largely by subjects Of Austria Hungary,
many Of them members of the Indus
trial Workers Of the World. and the
recent ATTEMPTS of that organization to
hamper inc government y wal PiNPoiN
tions are known by the Department OF
Justice to be traceable to the German
system.
American Secret Service men found
the trails of the notorious Won Papen
and Boyd leading through the Aus
trian consular service in this country.
Every turn of the government toward
combating the German espionage sys-
TEN found evidences Of how Germany
was using Austria.
Nearly a million Austrian subjects
in the United States would be affected
by declaration Of war. for they would
become amenable to the Presidents re
cent order requiring enemy aliens TO
register with public authorities, for
bidding them TO travel without special
permit, and barring them from water
fronts, warehouses and terminals.
Austrian investments in the United
States will be conserved in the same
way German property is being cared
for. through the alien property Gus
todian. American use of Austrian war
bound ships is legalized by the dec
laration Of war. although some Of them
have been used heretofore. and the
money for their use will be paid later.
