Washington, Jan. 27.---"In the nine
months Of war enemy incendlaries
have destroyed $4,000. 900 in prop
erty in this country, This includes
munitions factories. grain elevators.
stock yards. oil property, marine prop
critics and other industries vital to

This startling statement was made
today by Richard M. Hurd, chairman
of the board of trustees of the Amer
lean Defense society, who announced
today that the society had asked for
a hearing to oppose the application
OF certain fire insurance companies
in neutral countries of Europe to do
business In the United States. The So
ciety says 1t has evidence that dis
guised enemy insurance companies
are obtaining information OF great
value to Germany and transmitting 1t
to that country.
Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo
recently deprived several alien COM
panies of the right to do business in
this country, at the instance of the
society, but 1t Is said that the con-
Germs have found ways of circumvent-
ing the prohibition. For instance, the
society reports that since the disso-
luton OF the enemy companies In this
country six new insurance companies,
capitalized at 100000 have been
formed IN Norway, with the proba-
bility that their capital la largely Ger
raan money" says the society. These

States, and according to Mr.. Hurd.

 The German government has through the establishment of martial law, great lily increased the political lawlessness and economic exploitation of the pe- iople; it refuses all serious political and

 The German government has failed, out of difference to agrarian and cap Iitalistic interests, to care for the eco homie welfare of the population during the war, and so has prepared the way for a revolutionary uprising of the people and for general distress.
 The German government holds fast even yet to it's war aims of conquest, and there by constitutes the chief ob- stacle in the way of immediate peace negotiations upon the fundamental principle of remuneration of annexation and of an sorts of expressions.

 Liegknecht's Letter.
 Following is a translation of the leaflet:
 The records of the deposition in the proceedings against me requires the following explanation;
 1 The German government is in it's social and historical character an in- strument for the crushing down and exploiting of the laboring classes; It ests of junkerism, of capitalism and of imperialism.
 The German government is the reck- less champion of expansion in world politics, the most ardent worker in the
 com petition of annaments, and ac- cordingly one of the most powerful influences In developing the causes of the present war.
 The German government contrived the war jointly in concert with the Aus ;trian government, and so burdened itself with the greatest responsibility for the immediate outbreak of the war
 The German government brought on the war under cover of deception practiced upon the common people and upon the Reichstag (note the suppress sion of the ultimation to Belgium, the Book, the elimination of the Cars dispatch of July 29, 1914. etc.) and it sought by wicked mean to keep up the war spirit among the people.
 The German government wages the war by methods which judged even by standards till now conventional, are monstrous. (Note, for example, the sudden attack upon Belgium and Lux emburg-poison gas-since adopted by the belligerants, but most outrageous of all, the Zeppelin bombings, institu- ted with the purpose of annihiliating every living person, combatant or non- combatant over large areas; the sub- marine war on commerce, the tor pedoing of the Lusitania, etc, the sys- tenn of taking hostages and levying contributions, especially at he outset in Belgium; the systematic exactions from Ukrainian, Georgian, Courland.

 The German government thereby dis closes its system of spacious legality and sham nationality as a system of actual force, of genuine hostility to the people and of guilty conscience as re- gards the masses.
