Check Plot To
Resume German
Sabotage Here
(By Associated PressN

Washington, Jan. 10. -
Through intercepted communi-
cations and evidence found on a
score or more of arrested aliens,
government agents have discov-
cred a concerted movement to
reorganize German sabotage and
anti-war propaganda in this
country.
The movement was broken up
and enemy activities now are
believed to be confined to
sporadic cases carried on largely
by pro-German sympathizers
without guidance from a central
headquarters.
1t is known that about thirty
Germans and a few Scandinav-
ians have been arrested on sus-
picion of completely in the new
plot. The Germans have been
interned and the Scandinavians
sent out of the country. Some
Americans are under suspicion
and are being closely watched.

witness against Thomas Hall, his
chief, who was found not guilty Of
the charge of embezzlement by a
Burleigh county jury that deliberated
only five minutes, today set about the
task Of fastening upon Walla the
crime that it originally charged to
Mr. Hall.
In Bismarck, the opening of the
Walla trial in the district court Of
Morton county, at Mandan, is being
watched with keen interest. parti-
cularly in view OF the fact that Will
liam LANCER, attorney general, has
taken over the prosecution of the

assistant attorney general, Dan

SUMMARY OF War

Bulgaria and Russia have concluded
a separate peace according to cir
eumstantiaI adviees by way of Swift
zerIand.
II a separate adjustment betweeF
these nations has been reached, i
seems probable that il was because
Bulgaria found no difficulty in sub
| seribing to the BoIshevik formula o.
no annexations and no indemnities sC
| far as Russia was concerned. Bull
! garia has desired no Russian terri
| tory, seeking her acquisitions from
Rumania and Serbia. IL was for Ser
! bias assistance however, that Rus
| sia prepared for war under the ole
regime, her mobilization after Austria
had threatened Serbia being made
the occasion for Germany's deelara-
tion of war.
According to today's advices ths
BolsheViki have declined to enter
tain Turkeys peace proposal request
ing the Turks to participate in the
general conference between the CEN
trail powers and Russia.
From Bolsheviki sources comes the
report Of the defeat of General Kali
/ edines and General Dutoff, the Co.'S
sack leaders, who have been resist
inu the BoIsheViki in the Don re-
gion and elsewhere in south central
Russia.
From Petrograd comes a report
based on a newspaper statement that
representatives of Germany now in
Petrograd are seeking to have Sws-
den act az a means of communication
with Great Britain, France and Italy,
The German delegations in Petrograd
were understood originally TO have
been charged only with commercial
and other similar negotiations out
side the realm Of major political af-
fairs.
Reports from Pstrograd that the
BoIshevik government intends to
repudiate Russia's foreign debt are
reiterated today in newspaper dis
patches to England.
According TO unofficial reports
from the peace conference at Brest-
Litovsk the Russians are insisting
upon the removal of the negotiations
to Stockholm. The Germans are
represented as apparently undecided
what course to take.
