THOUSANDS OF U. $.
 SLEUTHS AT WORK
(Saturdav Evening PosO

There is a vast body of men in the United States-two hundred thousand or mOre-whO are not on the govern ment pay roll but who constitute q vol unteer organization the like Of which has never been known in the world. It is the American Protective league. de- veloped throughout every city and town in the country by A. NJ. Briggs, Charles Daniel Frey and Victor Eltinge. It owes its origin to MT Briggs, who. among millions of other American citizens wondering a year ago last April how best to help America win the war. con ceivcd the idea of an auxiliary to the department of justice.
 Hardly any publicity has been given to that organization-and it does not need ny-especially as to who the in- dividuals Identified with the orgauiZa tion are. Let it suffice to say here that the personnel has been carefully se- lected from among loyal Americans and that the state and county chiefs are men well respected in their colnmuni- ties and are persons of influence. The headquarters of the American Protec- tive league are in Washington, where Attorney General Gregory and his as- sistants in the department of justice work in constant and whole hearted cooperation with the volunteer sleUths.
 In fact the two hundred thousand citizen sentries are in the nature of scouts, They do not have the power of arrest and they rarely have need for their credentials. They are gatherers of information and investigators, pure and simple. And they have thousands of suspected men and women under Ob- serVation.
 Enemy aliens might as well realize that a tremendous number of eyes are on them, and that of the thousands of cases handled by the department Of jus
 ticC many were originally discovered by agents of the American Protective league.
 Particularly has this organization been. valuable in taking off the shoul- ders of the department of justice the
 burden of locating draft dodgers. The office of the American Protective league in one large city during the | past year investigated between fifteen
 and twenty thousand draft cases and l 24,7S0 cases of alien enemy activity | The membership of that city's Organi- l zation was less than six thousand men To it's credit that same organization 1 has more than one hundred intern
 ments and many prosecutions that are | now being carried on by the depart | ment of justice
