of WET time conditions to show the development of the anarchistic pr0pa- goacfn which has resulted in overt acts against life and property In the Urited States.
 Hun Propaganda Aided Anarchist.
 Wiaen the United States entered into the aar with Germany government of ficiais found there were ill existence n tise Cnjted States all kinds of organ- iGatioos. formed for purposes which could uo1 fail in their effect to help the cause Of the Huns. These organ tzatiuns were not anarchistic in their nature. but that they helped anarchy no oue can doubt.
 There were associations formed for the purpose of keeping young Amer leans out uf the army through the eX- tending of aid t0 men who pretended that titey were conscientious objcctUrs. There were organizations which preached the doctrine of lying down md thHt the way 10 overcome the Gerumn was to kiss him on both cheeks and pat his back
 Nten 4he government began to get after these associations which while professediy loyal and professedly sim ply human in their endeavors, in real fly were helping the Germans. they dis covered ttsat ii WAS an exceedingly diff ficult thing to differentiate between this society and that society. One organ ization might well be within the law while another was outside of the law, bus isie difficulty which the govern meuf officials met was to define aecu- rateiy lie fields of legality and ille- guilty The natural result followed.
 Liberty Plea Shielded License.
 ALitnX lawbreakers who were helping the Germans indirectly escaped the fash of the law. The plea of infringe ment af the right of free speech was used constantly to enable men to eS- cape the penalties which they should have suffered. It Followed naturally fFDu1 tbe escape of men and oreauiza- tiorS pf this type that men and or ganizTzions of other types took courage and believed that under the plea Of the righf 1o talk us they wished ill free country they could escape justice.
 Anarchy was embroidered. It mas queraded under all sorts of guises. It became difficult to tell just what was an auarehi<tic society and just what was SoIne other kind of society The result waS that the government prose cutioJlS Frequently did not reach their goul i.enicncy was charged against the government officials when in truth perhaps their only crime was their in ability 10 get the required proof.
 White House Virtually Closed.
 The White House for some time has stea6 lonely and aloef. Seemingly tue old place must miss the hurly- burtY which it has housed through the geSirs. or at least which one eS Ms wings has sheltered. for the wa-sterniuost part of the old mansion has feecn 1he scene of cabinet meetings, of the rabble of beseeching politicians, Of open and of closed conferences. and of general political and legislative plan hing activities through the four admin iStI1tionS during which this adjunct of tue White House has had it's huiIded existence
 During all the time of the presidents ,ahsence in Europe, and during all the. time ef the actual warfare, the White House proper was closed 10 visitors, Today few fortunate ones under prop er guidance are admitted to the low CT rooms. but for the main part it's isolation is complete.
 Tlpc Nhte House itself is q hcauti- fnl structure. but its beauty k as noth- ing so ihe coiorful glow of its environ ment- The few fortunate ones who today are allowed to enter The mansion occasionally are led thither from the office wing through the wonderful gar aen g'8anted and tended through three SCISSORS by Mrs. Woodrow Wilson. This giGrtaen IS 8 hedged-in place, hcdged in by tIie most wonderful hedge product eYer seen even in this country of he1-cs. Inc green wall which encloseS thrce sides of this garden spot of the greas White House grounds is six feet hi gh And three feet in depth. Ii flour Isitcs literally like the green bay tree It's only rifal In the Potomac country k fife fine box hedge planted at Mount Vernon by inc hands of George Wash iGgt0u.
