CATION of the activities OF Leonard

message that he claims he received
from German agents. Federal autnor-
tiles. after an examination, said they

John Mccormack Recital.

There is no better evidence of the
popularity of the Irish tenor, John Nc
Cormack. in Washington than the i'm
mense crowd that greeted him yester-
day afternoon at Polls Theater. Many
were turned away with the promise
that there would be another oppor-
tunity to hear the noted singer later in
the month
Mr.. Mccormack is distinctivefy bal
lad singer. departing from this style
only once yesterday. in the Handel
number from "Jephtha's Daughter" He
was in good voice, his enunciation
splendid. His diction, coupled with his
Willingness to sing semi-popular mu-
sic, is. no doubt, his big drawing card.
The enthusiasm of the audience was
apparently without limit, and the re-
wards were Keep the Home Fires
Burning She Rested on the Broken
Brook" Mother Machree" and Ma
cushla."
Andre Polah, violinist, the assisting
artist. created a favorable impression
and was very well received. Most of
his numbers, though difficult, were SO
well handled as to promise much for
his success in the future.
Edwin Schneider was excellent in his
for both singer and
violinist. He shared honors with Nc
Cormack at the conclusion of the lat
ter's rendition of Schneider's own COM
position, Your Eyes"

ATTACKS ON DISL0YALISTS
ARE OF DAILY OCCURRENCE
Department of Justice Sees Need for
Legislation to Permit U. S. to
Deal With Unpatriotic.

Patience of the American people with
disloyalty appears to have been ex-
hausted. This is indicated by the rap
idly increasing number of mob attacks
upon Germans and disloyal Americans
in the United States since the begin
ming of the present big battle in France.
Until recently these outbreaks, as re-
corded by the bureau of investigation
of the Department of Justice. were in
frequent Now they are daily reported
by dozens.
Department of Justice officials regard
this situation as indicating the need for
legislation to permit the government
to deal summarily with disloyal actions
and utterances. The wave of bitterness
that Is certain to accompany reports of
casualties among American soldiers
now being sent to the battle front. it Is
feared, Will be reflected in even more
numerous and more serious attacks
upon supposed German synpathizers.
