SHEO LIGHT on HIN
SABOTAGE SYSTEM
AND BOMB WORK
Department of Justice Has
VoIuminouS Documents
Not Yet Given Out, of IIIu-
minating Import

WASHINGTON. Dec. 12.-Volumi-
nous documents shedding light on
the German system of blowing UP
munition factories and practicing
sabotage and espionage In various
forms have been assembled by the
department of justice in preparation
for disclosure, It was said today,
but officials have not determined
what portion of these it would be
wise to give out, or when 1t might
be done without interfering with ac-
tivities OF government agents still
in progress.
Disclosures of A. Bruce BielaslIi,
chief Of the bureau of investigation,
before the senate committee, inves-
tigating propaganda, constitute only
a small part OF the evidence Of the
German practices gathered by the
departments agents in tks last two
years. Mr.. Bielask has taken care
to confine himself to propaganda, 1t
was pointed out, and this virtually
was a separate branch of German
work In this country both before
and after the United States entered
the war. Ordinarily propaganda was
carried on by a distinctly different
group Of German agents or pro-Ger-
man Americans, and the chief Ger
man agents took great pains to keep
knowledge of sabotage plans from
these propagandists.
The files Of the bureau Of investt-
CATION are said to contain hundreds
Of names of German agents and
Americans with whom they had deal
ings in gathering information about
the nations war preparations, and
concerning Germany's enemies be-
fore this country entered the war.
These name have not been disclosed.
When Mr.. BielasH appears before
the senate committee again tomor-
row for examination, It is possible
some senator's may question him
about phases Of the bureaus work
other than the fight against enemy
propaganda.
Throughout the war Il has been
the policy of the department of JUS
tice to maintain strict secrecy re-
garding most matters relating to
investigating agents, including In
ternments Of enemy aliens. Attor-
ncy General Gregory said many IF
these war secrets would be made
known at the proper time after the
war. .s,.--

LLOYD GEORGE TALK LEAGUE OF NAT|0l

Allied War Debt

WASHINGTON. Dec. 12.-Gernany
will not be asked to pay the full al
lied war debt, as Lloyd George is ad-
vocating, provided President wilson's
principles obtain in the peace confer
ence.
Officials here privately declare that
much of the British talk Of making
Germany pay this enormous debt
Lloyd George estimates it at $780,
000, 200, 000-is purely and simply
election talk. On the other hand, the
American government believes Ger

tally when she is done with paying
the restorative indemnities to be
asked of her for Belgium, northern
France and elsewhere.
In other words, American officials
do not believe it wise for the peace
OF the-world to take a mortgage on
Germany and her people for years
to come. For such a mortgage, they
contend, would mean anarchy in Ger
many. AS it is, Germany will be
working for the allies a long time
ahead. and will pay in the sweat OF
her brow, III lowered living condi-
tions, and In taxes on all for her
brutality and the suffering her autoc-
racy imposed upon the rest Of the

President Wilson believes in a
stern justice for Germany.

If officials here are correctly inform
ed, he will oppose the Lloyd George
plan for seeking to make Germany
pay the allied war debt.
Lloyd George viii have hearty sup
port from the president in seeking to
strip CONSUMPTION from the face OF
Europe.
Concrete evidence Of this support
Is Forthcoming here in the fact that
the war department has privately let
congressman know at present there
is no plan to ask for universal mill
tary training in this country.
One chief stumbling block viii be
the British navy. Britain desires
to remain mistress of the seas. The
upshot Of this insistence viii doubt
less be to make an international navy
wherein the United States contributes
as large a share as England, accord
ing to the opinion Of one Of the high
est naval authorities here.
Germany is soon to face a revision
OF armistice terms. The limit ex-
pired yesterday. The revised version
probably will vary only slightly from
those previously in effect.
