 mcnt, or that every enemy agent of propagandist at work in this country has been discovered. do. however. assert that every possible effort is be- ing made to ferret out and punish ac- tivities of this character and this work in other departments as well as my own is being done from day to day with constant efficiency"
 The letter also referred to the nid given by "morc than 100000 citizens of proven loyalty, systematically orr ganixed throughout the country ns an auxiliary to the work of the depnrt- ment."
 Under the most conservative estimate 2 the letter said, there are in this coun- try many more than 450,0o0 Germans. 600. : 900 Austrians and 100000 Hungarian en- emy aliens. ie. unnaturalized malest up- wards of IA years of age. Estimating three to a family there would be within the United States about 100000 persons who are either male enemy aliens or mem- bers of their families. If you will bear in mind that we have quite as much. if not more, trouble with native and nat uralized Americans as we have with en- emy eliens you will get some idea of the magnitude of the work which daily con- fronts this department.
 LACK OF LAWS
 Most of the disorder throughout the country is caused by the lack of laws re- lating to disloyal utterances. Congress did not pass the original espionage act in the form in which my department pre- pared it. and section 3 of the law as passed by Congress has been the only weapon with which the government could attack this dangerous evil. Although the only clause of section which has been of value is the one aimed to prevent obstruction of enlistment and recruit ing, my department has succeeded under that one clause in securing the convic- ton of more than 250 offenders in diff ferent parts of the country and in obtain ing the imposition of sentences in some cases of 15 and 20 years Imprisonment. It is naturally hoped that Congress will act favorably upon legislation now be- fore it which will give the government adeauate weapons with which to prevent the spread of fragrant disloyalty.

He emphasized the difficulties under which the depart ment is laboring, including the lack of necessary laws under which to pun ish offenders.
 sThe public assumes" Mir. Gregory wrote, "that there is a great deal or enemy activity going on in this coun- try. and it is but natural that vague rrmors are magnified into definite and sensational stories. The talk of dam age doIie by enemy aliens in causing ircendiary fires is an illustration or this. Repeatedly, both in reputable newspapers and in publications gottcn cut by citizen societies, exaggerated statements are made as to the amount of damage.

 statistics show that considering the vastly increased value Of mer- chandise and plants, the actual fire loss to property of all descriptions in 1917 was not appreciably larger +hsn that of the year of 1913. Likewise. the report recently made by the national board of fire underwriters shows in substance that during the past year not one fire has been clearly proven to be the work of alien enemies and ats recent conference in the treas ury department of all the men in de- partments charged with protection or plants and supplies it was stated with out dissent that no instance was known of a fire caused within the past year by alien enemies"

 The Attorney General suggested that the very necessity for keeping secret many of the activities Of the department undoubtedly contributes t. the impression of which you have complained" and added: Tt would be absurd to say that every hostile act has been successfully run down and the offender brought to punish

with equal nonchalance he finds rea-

1912 Pupils

Cambridge, Mass, Jan. Ir.-The war
has caused a falling off in registration
at Harvard of 1872 pupils for this acad-
emic year as compared with the n@-
ures Of last year. President a. Law
renee Lowell says in his report to the
overseers which was made public to-
night The registration for this year
in all departments shows 1854 pupils as
compared with 56y6 enrolled in 1916.
This means he pointed out, a decrease

trcd thousand dollars.
During the year the university re-
ceived in gifts s2.27l 900 exclusive Of the
income from the Gordon Mckay fund.

Of President Lowell, should have the

WHY THE ADS ARE

A woman who has learned to read
the ads FOR PROFIT is not likely

Fully half of a woman's know

her reading Of the ads
a woman's knowledge Of VAL

Among a thousand women who
arc accustomed to reading advcr-

whose interest occasionally lags.
The woman who reads the ads is
no more likely to overlook a good
buying opportunity than would a
man be to overlook the result of an

battle.
Mere talk" about bargain oppor;
tunities in the ads Of store does
not impress a woman. The talk
must be definite. giving details on
which she may base conclusions.
