plete revelation of the dangerous
workings of bolshevism throughout
the world with the declining force at
Moscow is in possession Of congress,
itw as learned today following the
roundup Of more than $500 red agi-
tators.
The report, which was compiled by the
Russian affairs division OF the state de-
partment has been sent to the senate
foreign relations committee and the house
foreign affairs committee by Secretary Of
State Lansing and is expected to be
made public soon.
The department Of justics has listed
rames Of nearly 10000 reds" and 1t was
predicted that there would be many moro
roundups.
Complete evidence against more than
1000 of those now held is in the hands
of the department and their deportation

BOMBS AND RIFLES
TAKEN IN NEW JERSEY.
Telephone information from Newark
this morning brought the story of the
cache of twenty five rifles and a large
quantity Of high explosive bombs found
there.
Several ships will be needed to deport
the prisoners, who make up a veritable
"red army" It was stated at the de-
partment of labor.
h. of
foreigners.
IN the senate Senator Borah is prepar-
ing a speech on Red Hysteria,' in
which he will charge that government
officials are the victims of a 'bolshevik
scare" and are resOrting to repressive
measures like the Russian government
used in the old days.
Evidence in papers seized by the raid
ers indicated, it was learned. that the
communist party was organized early
In 1919 in Moscow, capital Of soviet Rus
sia. Agents slipped into this country
and began organizing for the revolution,
which would result in a svoiet govern
ment being established here.
That the communist leaders in : sae
United StaCetS were in communication
with Lenine and Trotzky 1t is believed.
The recent New Years message from
Moscow, sent by wireless, predicting es-
tRbliShment Of a soviet government in
Washington during 1920 was recalled to-
day and great significance attached to
it, in view of the plots unearthed In
last nights raids.
