TO PUNISH SPIES
Hearings Begin Today on Dras-
tic War Measure.
Dangerous Aliens and Their
Propaganda Must Co..

Washington, April 1S.-To show the
need for a drastic law to stamp out
German propaganda in the United
States. the senate military affairs com
mittee today began hearings on Sen
ator hamberlain's bill to turn spies
and propagandists over to military
authorities.
Civil authorities from a number OF
states will tell how enemy propagan-
dists have time and time again slipped
thru the meshes of the laws net They
have jumped bail and invoked legal
technicalities of all sorts to escape.
Witnesses also will tell how the lax
ity of many judges has contributed to
the escape of dangerous aliens, many
of whom have later been detected in
even holder assaults on the United
States.
A Revolutionary Step.
The department of justice has for
many months been criticized in letters
to members of congress for not taking
stronger measures to hold suspects.
Senator Chamberlain's position is that
under civil law, the department is Of
ten powerless, even tho the accused is
guilty.
There will be much opposition to
making the whole United States part
to turning over disposition of suspects
to the military. For that reason
Chamberlain plans to show by the
hearings the absolute necessity for
such a revolutionary step.
Another move to scotch the Dis
cipIes of Kultur." in this country will
be hearings to be held within a few
DAYS on Senator Kings bill to bar
German language newspapers from
the mails King declares these papers
have been potent agents of the kaiser
in spreading lies about the United
States and its allies
Kings bill to disband the German
American Alliance is on the senate
calendar and already has produced the
desired effect, thru voluntary dis
handing Of the organization.
