German Restrictions
On Americans Lifted
u. S. Citizens Can Travel
Through Empire Without
Permits

Berlin, Via London, July 5.-Virt-
ually all restrictions and regulations to
which American citizens resident in
Germany have been subjected are re-
moved through an agreement between
the German Foreign Office and the mill
itary and police authorities. The agree
n:ent exempts citizens of the United
States from reporting to the police and
from observing the hours fixed for out
door movements.
American citizens hereafter will be
permitted to travel about Germany
without being called upon to go through
the laborious and slow-moving routine
attached to the issuance Of travel
permits.
The new agreement virtually places
Americans on the same footing az neu-
trails, only such persons as may be
under suspicion being excluded from
the new privileges.

British, Citing u. S.,
Ask News of Navy
Believe Stories of Sea Battles
Should Be Pub
lished
lBy Cable % The Tnsunel

London, July 5.-The publication here
OF Secretary Daniels's report on the
submarine attack on American trans
ports and their escorts has started an
agitation for fuller information about
the British navy.
The censorship is accused Of permit
ting the publication only Of defeats
and losses, never revealing stories Of
hundreds Of thrilling fights in which
British ships have emerged victorious.
The American policy of handling
publicity in the war is bound to have
q marked effect on the censorship here.
The proof Of this is found in growing
criticism Of the system in quarters
which formerly bowed before the gov
eminent defence that too much pub
licity would be against public policy.
In the last month the government
has been much franker about answer
ing questions in Parliament and IN Its
reports OF military activities.

One Strong Man
Needed to Hunt
For Alien Spies

pers United States Secret
Service
By G. w. Gilbert

Washington, July st was said
here to-day that henceforth there
would be cooperation among the De-
partments of State, War, Navy and
Justice in the search for the agents of
enemy governments in this country.
II there is, then beginning will be
made toward a system for the restric-
ton Of the sctiv lies of the spies and
dynamiters Of Germany in this country.
But it will be only beginning. We
shall still lack great deal Of such an
organization as our allies have found
necessary TO protect themselves from
Germany's agents.
As IL is now, we have no national
intelligence organization Whatsoever.
There are eight Secret Service bureaus
here, and new one in addition has just
been started. have mentioned already
four departments, each OF which has
is own agents. Almost every Cabinet
officer has his own police.
Most OF these bureaus are ANAL, the
largest being that OF the Department
Of Justice. The number Of agents in
this bureau is not made public. have
been told by a we'll informed man who
has made study Of the situation that
10 is 300. II has, however, at times
been as high as 1000. Even IL this
largo number e the true one, when
lou compare 81. 70 the New York City
police force, you see how utterly made
ouate Il IS % do the work OF policing
the German agents in the entire coun-
Try.
The other bureaus are much smaller,
the most important being those Of the
Treasury and PostofIiee departments.
There is great deal Of Jealousy
among the different forces, and II CO
operation begins now il will be nov

Britain to Permit
More Beer in Summer
Bonar Law Announces In
creased Allowance in Brew
ing for Three Months

London, July g.. Andrew Bonar Law,
Chancellor of the Exchequer, an
nounced in the House of Commons to-
day that the government had decided to
permit the brewing during the quarter
ending September 30, next, of an ad-
ditional amount of beer not exceeding
30 l-3 OF the amount already allowed
for that quarter.
This action, he said, was taken owing
TO the greater consumption during the
summer months and the difficulties
caused by shortage in large centres of
population and in the counties where
crops are being harvested.

Draft Law 'Faker'
Causes a Frantic
Rush of Inquiries
Furore Throughout Coun-
try at False Announce
ment of Selections

Washington, July 5.-Time hung
heavily yesterday on the hands OF some
one with a love of sensation. or a mean
sense of humor, or some other such OBJ
jectionable characteristic. Accordingly,
he took thought unto himself and then
announced to the wide world that four
teen numbers had already been drawn
in Washington for the National Army
draft And most of the aforementioned
world believed him.
Things began TO happen almost I'M
mediately. First one frantic telegram
rushed into the War Department, then
another, then hundreds and then thou
sands. Each demanded confirmation OF
the report that numbers 5, 9, IL, II, 81,
81, 81, 81, 100, Ill, lis, 1875, 145 and
14G had already been drawn.
In vain the department lifted up It's
voice and announced that nothing OF
the kind had been done. or would be
done for some time to come. Fruitless
were its attempts 10 check the flood by
announcing that the numbers on the
upper right hand corner of each regis
tration card were meaningless, and that
the exemption board of each district
was engaged now in REMEMBERING the
cards for the draft.
Numbers Are Posted
Washington was not the only storm
centre. The fatal numbers were posted
on newspaper bulletin boards in the
Middle West. They were given out at
New York Police Headquarters. They
caused a furore in Wall Street.
Arrangements for the next step
toward the exercise of the selection
for draft were taken up tonight at
conference between Secretary Baker
and Provost Marshal General Crowder.
Mr.. Baker said later he had no an
nouncement to make as to the date of
the drawing. 1t has been said the
drawing will be held in Washington.
snd ID is expected a statement cover
ing the method to be followed will be
made tomorrow or next day.
Organization of the local and dis
trict exemption boards, the arrange
ment of the registration lists in serial
numbers and other preliminary work
must be completed before the selection
machinery can be set in motion. A
statement by the public information
committee says this may be done by
Saturday, although there is no GER
tainty about il.
Lists Are Made Public
Many boards already are publishing
the lists of registration members, az
required by regulations. The last dis
trict will have to complete this work,
however, before selection can begin,
as the Administration is determined TO
leave no loophole for juggling of the
serial numbers. IL is for that reason
that public posting of the lists and
the filing OF duplicate copies with the
provost marshal general have been re-
quired in advance of selection.
The care with which the numbering
Of the registration cards is being car
ried out makes IL certain the drawing
will be based entirely on the numbers
No names will be involved in the
actual process of selection.
District No. and District No. 80,
both of Philadelphia, are rivals for
the provost marshal general their
complete registration lists. They were
received to-day in the same mail.
