ESPIONAGE CASES ID
 WASHINGTON FIRST

There are to be no more prosecu- tions under the espionage act by the federal grand jury, unless the facts in a case have been first submitted to the attorney general at Washington and approved by him, according to an or der sent by the official to all United States attorneys and department of justice agents.
 This ruling makes doubtful the oper- ations of the espionage act in the fu ture Advices from Washington are that there has been much difference of opinion throughout the country as to the meaning of certain sections of the espionage act, and in order to have a uniform ruling in prosecutions, the final presentment of the matter will hereafter be left in the hands of the attorney general
 The same advices say arrests may be made for alleged violations of the es- pionage act, and warrent of arrest is sued. but until the individual cases have been passed upon they must not be presented to the grand jury.

But this action upon Hardwick S
part came altogether too late to save
him from any measure of the oppro-
brium and disgrace that attaches to
his original intent, as expressed by
that bill.
The intent back of that bill was to
do harm. 1t was to hamstring the
administration and to complicate its
responsibility for the successful pro-
