said, was compelled to assume the bur-

to routine county business---a burden
so great that he and his deputies,
though aided at intervals by yolnn-
teers, were compelled to work at night
and on Sundays.

enemy powers. This general type of propaganda reached it's height il the autumn of 1917, but gained no great headway and was declining by Janu- ary 1, 1918. Various other types Of propaganda have appeared sporadi- cally but none of them have gained any substantial footing, and it may he fairly said that prior to July l, 1918, the effort of German sympa- thizers in the field of disloyal propa- ganda had almost completely failed. 7
 The department has been hampered in suppressing propaganda, said the attorney general, by "self-appo1nted committees or associations of citizens who, ignorant of or dissatisfied With the scope of the federal laws. or jur- isdiction, have sought to supplement them by extra-legal measures of in- limitation and punishment" Anoth- CT hampering influence was the dis senlinatfon of hundreds of unfOunded reports relating to use of poison gas by enemy agents, ground glass in food, and damage to Red Cross sup plies.
 Less than one per cent. of the ene- my aliens arrested on suspicion and later paroled have again fallen under suspicion. Of the 75,000 enemy aliens applying for permission to complete their naturalization which was stopped on the declaration of war, reports on more than 10, 900 have been furnished the naturalization authorities of rhe Department of Labor.

of free speech, free assembly and pe- tition exist in war time as in peace time, and that the right of discussion of governmental policy and the right of political agitation are the most 1un- damental rights in @ democracy
 At the same time, the attorney gen cral explained, the department had tried to deal severely with propaganda having for a deliberate purpose the disintegration of the country's war strength.
 The attorne general disclosed that only 5000 enemy aliens have been ar rested on presidential warrants and examined with a view to internment and that "a considerable mum Der" of these have been placed in internm ent camps administered by the army. The balance were parolled. Most enemies informed were German men, and there were mparatively few German wom- en or Austro-Hungaria About 480, 900 Germans have been register ed in the nationwide census-260, 900 men and 22O,0O0 women.
 SlaclRers Rounded Up.
 Up to last July 1, department of justice investigators had rounded up 23, ,439 young men who sought to escape the draft, and had caused their induction into the sevice. More than 220,000 cases of men who for some reason or other had failed to file questionnaires or to appear for physical examination were investi~ gated.
 War activities claimed the principal portions of the report and after re- ferring to the growth of the depart ment's secret service to six times its size in 1916 and the efficient organiza. tion of the American Protective

League of 25O,0O0 citizen volunteers, MT. Gregory said:
 Tt is safe to say that never in it's history has this country been so thoroughly policed as at the present time.
 When it becomes possible, through the lapse of time, to disclose fully the activities of these various secret services, their work will stand out as one of the substantial achievements of the war"
 Hints of an American espionage system were given in the statement that the secret services have given protection not only to the civilian population but to the armed forces, and some of their activities have also resulted in direct damage to the enemy forces abroad"
 Interned Enemy Treated We'll.
 The governments internment pol icy also has been more lenient than those of England and France, the at- torney general stated, and the eff cacy of the methods and principles are evidenced by the good order gen. erally maintained.
 Systematic disloyal propaganda became failure during the first year of the war" he said. Shortly after our entry into the war this propa- ganda, supported chiefly by those in f1uences and organizations which had opposed the declaration of war, manifested itself in distinct opposi- tion to the adoption, and operation of the selective service act. but this typo of propaganda was almost immedi- ately suppressed and destroyed. It was followed by manifestations of propaganda of an economic and social character, clearly supported in the main, by sympathizers with the
