Since then Sweden has continued to

Peace Propagandists
At Work for Germany
Sought by u. S. Agents
Lstan Corrcspondencel

WASHINGTON, Sept. 1.-THE State
Department is receiving a large amount
of evidence of peace propaganda being
conducted in the United States and hay-
ing its inspiration in the Central en-
pires. The evidence is being prompt
" turned over to the Department Of
Justice for investigation and possibly
for the prosecution of secret agents Of
Germany and Austria in America.
Ii was asserted on high authority
to-day that "there is an intensified
peace propaganda going on, emanating
from the Central Powers" 1t was
thought that the so-called German peace
terms and other German propaganda FL
tered into the United States through
Switzerland. where the Central Powers
have a number of able diplomats whose
sole purpose there, il is believed, is to
superintend the worldwide German
propaganda.
The object Of the propaganda in the
United States, it was declared, was to
discourage the preparations making for
prosecuting the war on a great scale
and to encourage those persons who op-
pose the American preparations for car
rying forward the war.
The State Department has heard from
no official source, 1t was stated, an out
line of Germany's peace terms.
More raids on the German press
throughout the country are eX-
pected to follow the one yesterday
on the Philadelphia "Tageblstt,' y
and they will probably continue
until the Department of Justice has
run down the source Of the German
money that is known to be behind the
seditious, anti-American and pro-Ger-
man propaganda with which the coun-
try is being flooded
But il has been known to Federal
officials for long time that fund OF
German money existed in this country
for the support and dissemination OF
this propaganda. Just where this fund
was deposited, who controlled II and
who had charge of its distribution the
government has not yet been able to
determine.
The theory is that it is general
fund open 10 any one who is interested
in the success Of Germany, or even neg
atively interested in German success to
the extent Of being willing TO hamper
the efforts of this government for yIe-
tory.
