German Spy Hunt Elevates Justice
Department to Prominent Position

revived when the reds became ac-
tive The prosecution of the 1. W.
W, which was conducted by Assist
ant Attorney General Frank K. Ne
Deker, was one of the greatest
| cases ever won by the department
Between forty and fifty headquar-
tiers Of the radicals were raided. In
one Chicago case there were 120
defendants, SO of whom were con-
V1cted. This prosecution is gener-
ally given credit for having broken
the back of the revolutionist or
ganiZation in this country.
AS now organized, the depart
ment Of justice has, in effect, about
six distinct diversions, each under
as assistant attorney general.
These are in charge respectively
of criminal cases in which the gov
eminent is involved, Investigations
such as those Of the reds and the
German spies, claims against the
government, admiralty cases, war
risk insurance, and the public
lands. In addition to prosecuting
and defending cases in court, these
divisions must furnish legal ad-
vice to any department of the gov
eminent whic hasks 1T In addition
to these six divisions, there is a
solicitor general who Directs the
handling of all appeal cases.
An impressive feature of the de-
partment Of justice is its collection
of portraits. From the very first it
has been customary for the attor-
ney general to have his portrait
painted at government expense be
fore retiring from office, and to
leave it hanging on the Office wall.
Thus, when you enter the attorney
generals Office, you face the SOL
emn and impressive gaze of all the
departed attorneys general. The
assistant attorneys general are not
allowed to have their portraits
painted, but they commonly have
very large photographs of them
selves made for the purposes of
mural decoration.
This strange custom is also fol-
lowed by the state department. in
which not only the secretary, but
all of the assistant secretaries,
leave their life-size Iikenesses on
the walls Of their office. One third
assistant secretary of state who
held his job only three weeks none

WE'D DOUCHBOYS
ON OTHER SIDE
FOR OCEAN TRIP
Returned War Worker Declares
Many Brides of Overseas Not
Fit for Citizenship.

Dismal establishment awaits
many American doughboys who
took English and French brides
while they were overseas, in the
opinion of Miss Byrd McFall, re-
turned worker from overseas in
Red Cross work.
Miss McFall worked in France IA
months. Lately she has been sup
cruising the embarkation of about
1000 soldiers brides, and she ex-
pressed herself in rather pessi-
mistic fashion concerning them.
at is a shame that many of them
were allowed to sail from either
England or France" Miss McFall
said, but the soldiers had married
them, and what were the army au-
thorities to do? There seemed to
be no rule that could keep them
back, and even when investigation
showed that many of them should
not be landed in America, there
was too much red tape to be cut to
stop them from going. There were
girls that had police records and
girls who left without a necessary
examination, which, if made, would
have prevented some of them at
least fro membarking for America.
Not until the later part of the
arrival in America was there any
attempt at medical supervision, and
then only after it had been repeat
eddy shown to the army authorities
that these women were not fit to be
a part of Americas citizenship. 1
believe nearly all of the trouble
was caused by the fact that the
army offered to send back without
charge the girls married to SOL
diers. If the soldier had known
that he would have to pay a wife's
passage at prevailing rates, think
that there would have been far less
marriages contracted. The major

the-less improved the opportunity
to beautify the place with his
portrait.
Some of these official likenesses
are very good and some are not, for
the American government supports
no court artist, but has it's great
men painted on contract In some
cases evidently the best bid has
won out rather than the best ar
fist; but all of the portraits are
very impressive, and that is the
only thing necessary, since poster
ity never sees the original any
how. Robert Smith, who was at
tOrney general under Jefferson and
secretary of state under Madison,
was long represented in the state
department by a very impressive
oil portrait After several genera
tons had elapsed, some of his de-
scendants came forward and proved
that this was not a picture OF
Robert Smith at all, but of his
wife's grandfather, an old gentle
man Of stately appearance, but of
no special distinction. A less i'm
pressive but perfectly authentic
likeness of Smith was substituted
The department of justice has
on its seal a motto, which has
never attracted any public atten-
ton, but has afforded much amuse-
ment to the lawyers, all of whom
are Latin scholars, of course. This
motto is peculiarly appropriate to
a legal department in that it can
be made to mean almost anything.
The Latin words are ~Qui pro
Domino Justitia Sequitur" Every
one agrees that it is poor Latin,
and probably lacks definite mean
ing. 1t is said to have come down
from the days of Queen Elizabeth.
Attorney General Johnson, N Tay-
lor's administration, wished it on
