HOW AGENTS OF THE ENEMY WERE
 TRACKED DOWN Attorney General I. w. Gregory in His Annual
 Report Deals with
 War Problems. LIBERTY IS SAC R E D Declares That the Depart ment Hais Carefully ] Avoided Any Harsh
 Restrictions.
LIBERTY IS SAC R E D

WASHINGTON, Dec. 12. - The story of how enemy agents have been caught. disloyalty suppressed draft slackers apprehended,. danger ous Germans interned, explosions and other sabotage prevented, and enemy secrets ferreted out for use against their armies abroad was given Co ,he public in Attorney General T. W. Gregory's annual report. Through a great corps of Department of Justice civil officers, secret agents, and citizen volunteers, this big job of policing has been accomplished, said the Attorney General, with mini mum disturbance to the normal life of communities, and with constant effort to avoid encroaching on the freedom of speech, action and politi- cal criticism.
 Referring to enforcement of the espionage act, MT. Gregory said:
 "This department throughout the war has proceeded upon the general principle that the constitutional right of free speech, free assembly, and petition exist in war time as iE peace time, and that the right of discussion of Governmental policy and the right of political agitation are the most fundamental rights in democracy"
 At the same time, the Attorney Gen eral explained, the Department had tried to deal severely with propa- ganda having for a deliberate pur- pose the disintegration of the coun try's war strength.
 "One of the distinct achievements of the American people" he said, has been the maintenance of order, the comparative failure of enemy ac- tivities and, speaking broadly, the general self-control and selfrestraint exhibited throughout the country in critical situations"
 The Attorney General disclosed that only 5000 enemy aliens have tcen arrested on Presidential war rants and examined with view to

internment and that ' considerable number" of these have been placed in internment camps administered by the Army. The balance were pa rolled. Most enemies interned were German men, and there were com paratively few German women or Austro-Hungarians About 4S0,00G Germans have been registered Tn the nationwide census GO,000 men and 220,000 women.
 Up to last July 1, Department of Justice investigators had rounded up 23,439 young men who sought to es' cape the draft, and had caused their induction into the service. More than 220,0O0 cases of men who for some reason or other had failed to file questionnaires or to appear for physical examination were investi- gated.
 When it becomes possible through lapse of time, to disclose fully the activities of these various secret service, their work will stand out as one of the substantial achieve nlents of the war"
 'It has been the view of this De- partment," the Attorney General said, that every act of arbitrary and un- necessary interference with the life, habits, and occupation of the citizen, would lessen efficiency, disturb or der, and weaken public confidence in the American standards of jus tice."
 Referring to difficulties with mem bers of the I. w. w, "pseudo-social sts,"' and similar bodies, the Attor- n5v General said:
 'It has been the policy of this De. partment that no person should be prosecuted or interncd solely by req son of his membership in any such organization. that guilt is always per ,0na!. and that under no circu.l 2.ances 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 lnder suspicion Of the 75,000 enc my aliens applying for permission to complete their naturalization which was stopped on the declara tion of war, reports on more than 10000 have been furnished the na- turalization authorities of the De partment of Labor
 Discussing the enforcement of an thrust laws, Attorney General Greg ory says:
 When natural laws of trade break down, as they have done during the war in many branches of trade, di rect Government action with respect to prices and methods of distribu tion may become essential in order to prevent private control of mar kets, for when natural 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 public agencies In these circumstances, therefore, such direct Governmental action, SC far from running counter to the pur- pose of the sherman act, is directly in line with it.''

SILK INDUSTRY IN CHINA HARD
 HIT FOR HEAD

Shanghai, April 25---(Correspond- ence of The Associated Press )---That the silk industry of China is suffer ing for want of governmental direc- ton and assistance and that such should be forthcoming at an early date, is the substance of a resolution adopted by members of the Foreign Silk Association at a recent general meteing in Shanghai.
 In view of the large amount con- tributed by the silk industry in taxes, such aid should be a substantial char acter, in the opinion of the silk deal CTS, and the government is being ap- pealed to in that sense.
 The chairman in his adress cited figures to illustrate the value of gov ernment supervision of the industry as projected in Japan. During the season of 19O7-8, he said, Japan ex- portad 9S, flo bales against 1858 bales exported from Shanghai. For the sea- son of 1916-17, Japan's export was 296,5 ,56s bales against 65,S47 from Shang- hai.
 From these figures" said Mr. Byrne, you will see that we have made but little headway while Japan on the other hand has gone forward enormously, and I am not including silk piece goods of which China's ex- port is negligible in comparison with Japan.
 Not only Japan, but practically all other silk producing nations he con tinued, have their governments as at uralIy it will occur to us all, why should we foreigners and Chinese put our hands in our pockets to find funds that the Chinese government should prpvide?''
 Outlining his plans for the coming year for improvement of the indus try, the speaker said:
 '@The schemes we have in view nat urally depend on the funds provided, but they will follow on the lines that have been successful in other coun- tries. This year we propose to assist and advise those experimental sta tions that are already in existence, and to buy cocoons and examine the eggs on the Pasteur system by which in 919 we shall have a supply that can be guaranteed to be healthy and pro vide worms that will not die in the third or fourth stage, but live to pro- duce cocoons of good size and quality. The committee in charge consist of representatives of the Chinese, the French Chamber of Commerce and the Silk association and you may de pend no effort will be spared to make the initial attempt a success and set an example for the future.''

AMERICANNETWAR LOSSES.

Since the war began the total mount of money lent by the United 6tates to the Allies is 1-4 billion. ahis includes 2 3-4 billion to Great Britain and 1 1-2 billion to France. The interest on this sum is equiva- ent to about $35O, ,0Oo,OOO annually.
 It has been estimated that before he war the amount of interest paid Py the United States to Europe on ,ccont of its American security oldings was in excess of S250, ,000, 900. The bulk of the foreign holdings of American securities has been resold to America, which therefore has the se- urities a1d also gets the interest
 Summing up the above, there is evil ently a. total interest payment to be made after the war to the United Btates in excess of half a billion dol hrs annually, as against compara- ively nothing heretofore.
 This will go far toward paying the nterest on the new United States war ebt as thus far contracted
 And don't forget that the profits aid to us by the Allies for war ma- erial will also go far toward paying Amerfca's war bills.
