ists", and similar bodies, the attorney
general said:
at has been the policy of this de-
partment that no person should be
prosecuted or interned solely by rea-
son of his membership in any such or
ganization, that guilt is always per-
sonal, and that under no circumstanc-
es should any organization or body of
men be prosecuted as SUCH"
Less than one per cent of the enemy
aliens arrested on suspicion and later
paroled have again fallen under sus-
picion. Of the $4,000 enemy aliens
applying for permission to complete
their naturalization, which was stop
ped by the declaration of war, reports
on more than 10000 have been fur
nished the naturalization authorities
of the department of labor.
f. Discussing the enforcement of the
antitrust laws, Attorney General
Gregory said:
when natural laws of trade break
down, as they have during the war in
many branches of trade, direct gov
ernment action with respect to prices
and methods of distribution may be-
come essential in order to prevent pri-
vate control of markets, for when nat
ural laws of trade can no longer be
depended upon to regulate markets,
the only choice is between artificial
control imposed by private interests
and artificial control imposed by pub
lie agencies. In these circumstances,
therefore, such direct government ac-
tion, so far from running counter to
the purpose of the Sherman act, is di-
rectly in line with it."
The attorney general said the hear
ing of pending antitrust cases in the
supreme court had been postponed on
motion of the government because
"the dissolution of these combinations
would require financial operations on
large scale, which it would not be
in the public interest to undertake in
the present condition of the money
market, brought about by the war;"
Mr.. Gregory's recommendations pro-
pose legislation to make a federal
warrant run to any part of the United
States, so that indicated individuals
cannot escape trial so easily; retire
ment of federal judges at the age of
70 if they have served ten years OF
more; legislation to make it an offense
to send through the mail letters
threatening life or property; tighten
ing up of bankruptcy laws; and legis-
lation making it possible to sue a
corporation in any district in which it
transacts business.

ATTORNEY GENERAL
GREGORY TELLS HOW DIS
LOYALTY WAS SUPPRESSED
Continued from Page one)

the needlessness of attempting to in
woke the use of military tribunals in
this country"
at has been the view of this depart
ment," the attorney general said,
shat every act of arbitrary and un-
necessary interference with the life,
habits, and occupation of the citizen,
would lessen efficiency, disturb order,
and weaken public confidence in the
American standards of justice"
He added that he had emphasized
this view on other government depart
ments, resulting "on a number of oc-
casions in preventing encroachments
upon the jurisdiction of the civil tri-
bunals of the country"
This was considered significant in
view of the United States ability to
maintain the normal functioning of
ordinary government machinery to, a
much greater extent than other bel
ligerents.
The governments internment policy
also has been more lenient than those
of England and France, the attorney
general stated, and the efficacy of the
methods and principles are evidenced
by the good order generally main
tanned.
"Systematic disloyal propaganda
became a failure during the first year
of the war;" he said. "Shortly after
our entry into the war this propagan-
da, supported chiefly by those influ-
ences and organizations which had op-
posed the declaration of war, mani
Tested itself in distinct oposition to
the adoption and operation of the Sc
lective service act, but this type of
propaganda was almost Immediately
suppressed and destroyed. 1t was fol-
lowed by manifestations of propagan-
da of an economic and social charac-
ter, clearly supported in the main, by
sympathizers with the enemy powers.
This general type of propaganda
reached it's height in the autumn of
1917, but gained no great headway
and was declining by January 1, 1918.
Various other types of propaganda
have appeared sporadically but none
of them have gained any substantial
footing, and it may be fairly said that
prior to July 1, 1918, the effort OF
German sympathizers in the field of
disIoyal propaganda had almost COM
pletely failed"
The department has been hampered
in suppressing propaganda, said the
attorney general, by "self-appointed
committees or associations of citizens
who, ignorant of or dissatisfied with
the scope of the federal laws, or ju-
risdiction, have sought to supplement
them by extra-legal measures of in
timidation and punishment" Another
hampering influence was the dissent
nation of hundreds of unfounded re-
ports relating to use of poison gas by
enemy agents, ground glass in food,
a dndamage to Red Cross supplies.

British Await News of Surrender of
German -Savy.

London, Nov. 19.-Great Britain
today awaits breathlessly for news
from somewhere in the North Sea"
where a powerful German surface
feet, the bulk and pride of the Ger
man navy, was scheduled to surren-
der. King George and the Prince
Of Wales went to Admiral Sir David
Peatty's flagship to witness the
greatest naval display in history.
1t is expected that all German
ships will be in allied hands by Sat
urday, a day earlier than the ar
mistice specified.
The German ships, it is learned
will be divided among the allies.
Great Britain, having done the bulk
of the naval work in the war, is to
receive the lions share of the surren-
dering fleet.

effect serves notice that the govern
ment likelihood that men ready TO
serve will ever be called
The only work which remains to be
done by draft boards now is the clas-
sification of these men who were is
years old and less than 10 years OF
age on September y last. The clas-
sifcation of these men will be car
ried out, as it is assumed that their
records will be of greatest value to
the military establishment Of the
country in the future.
The men of the 1S-year-o!d class
will not undergo physical examina-
tion unless additional quotas are
needed by the army. In, any event
they would be the last called, and
there is little serious thought given
to such possibility in army circles
here.

HUNS EXTORT CASH
Twelve Casts in Brussels, One Bank
Being Robbed.

Brussels, Nov. 19.-M. Lemonnier,
the acting burgomaster of Brussels:
has written the delegates of the
German government giving details
of twelve instances where German
soldiers extorted sums of money
from the inhabitants of Brussels No
vember II and Is. (The armistice
signed November II expressly pro-
hibited such action.)
The sums taken varied from 500
francs to 10000 marks, which were
: taken from a bank. In some cases
the pretense was made that the sol
diers were acting for the German au-
thorities; in others that shots had
been fred from houses by civilians.
"The calumnious imputations,"
adds the letter, "recall the pretexts
which preceded the destruction of
Louvain." b
Washington, No. 19.-German
troops destroyed the railway station
at Assache, near Brussels, "a hours
after the armitice became effective,
French diplomatic cable stated yes
tertay. Four were killed and fifty
wounded. Germans are expected tc
say the explosion was accidental, but
the burgomaster has testimony indi
eating that the explosion was set of
by wires running some distance
from the station.
