WARNS i. s. Of
FOE PROPAGANDA
German Agents Active Through
out the Nation.
JUSTICE DEPARTMENT BUSY
official Pleas From Beaten Germany
Give Enemies Here Cue to Beg
for Leniency in the Final
Peace Terms.

Washington. Nov. 19.-Government
agents see evidences that German prop
uganda machinery in the United States
is being put in working order again
to promote sentiment of leniency tow
ard Germany in peace terms. Conse-
quenty, department of justice officials
warned that the public should remain
watchful against resumption of or
ganized propaganda by interests form
erly actively pro-German, and for the
last year passive,
Concerted movement is apparent, Of
ficials say, in utteranceS of many indl-
vduals, a few organizations formerly
active for German interests, and some
newspapers. There is no organized
leadership, it is believed, but local In
terests have taken their cue from Off
cial pleas from Germany for leniency
in armistice ard final peace terms.
To Fight Propagandists.
The interest of the government
agents combating enemy propaganda
at this time Is not to suppress free eX-
preston of opinion, it is explained, but
10 fight any concert of propagandists
whose purpose would be to cOnfound
the authorized spokesman of the nation
In Forthcoming peace negotiations. Ot-
ficials say during the reconstruction
period, there may be considerable dan
ger from enemy propaganda working
10 make the nation forget Germanys
course during the war.
Illustrating the attitude that the war
and its dangers are not yet over, it is
stated that department of Justice agen-
cies have ordered the internment of
some Germans since the armistice was
signed week ago.
Huns Active In Mexico.
Official reports show German repre-
sentatives in various parts of the world
still actively engaged in spreading
propaganda TO create and enhance feel
ing of hostility toward the United
States and the allied countries.

bassador at Mexico City, again Is re-

leo hostile to the United States and Is
able to have misleading articles pub
lished in the semiofilcial Mexican pa
pers. Recently he had published
throughout Mexico that the German
