WASHINGTON. Dec. 14.—Only the
cold figures showing the results of
:he work of the department of justice
in coping with German plotters in
this country are given in Attorney
General Gregory’s annual report sub
mitted to congress. None of the de
tails of the operations of the secret
service of that department, touching
almost every condition from the ro
mantic to the sordid are disclosed
Most of those musF necessarily re
main untold until the end of the war
when a set of volumes rivaling the
most exciting tales of fiction might
be written from them. The attornej
general’s report merely tells the
story of results in the figures of prls
on sentences which the agents o
German intrigue now' are serving li
federal penitentiaries.
In dealing with the enemies withii
the department has found that th
espionage law, the trading with th
| enemy act, and the prosecution of s(
| ditious conspiracy have been fruitfn
of results.
“The government’s hands hav
! been materially strengthened so tha
it now has power to deal with disturl
ing malcontents.” says the attorne
general’s report.

WASHINGTON. Dec. 14.—With re
cord crops grown this year the na
tion’s farm and livestock production
must be stimulated to a 9till higher
efficiency during the coming twelve
months if domestic demands and the
needs of the allies are to be ade
; quately met, Secretary Houston says
tq^h'i’s annual report to congress.
"That the farmers of the Nation
have generously responded to the ap
peals for increased production, and
that much has already been done
to insure a large supply of foods and
feedstuffs," says the report. “Justi-1
fies no let down in their activities or 1
in those of all agricultural agencies.
On the contrary, even greater efforts
must be put forth in the coming
months.
“There must be no breakdown on j
the farms, no failure of foods, feed
stuffs or clothing. I cannot empha-j
size too strongly the urgent necessity
of doing everything possible to bring
about’a still further increase in the
production of all essential commodi
I
ties, particularly of the staple crops
and livestock.”
Confidence in the ability of the'
farmers to meet the unusual eraer-!
gency caused by America’s entrance
into the war is reiterated by the
secretary. Their willing cooperation
since April has been prolific of en
couraging crop increases, he says, and
there is no doubt but that they have
a complete and ready comprehension
of the demands to be supplied as the
war proceeds.

JUNTJAU, Dec. 14.—The Alaska na
tive brotherhood should expand un
til it has branches in every Indian
camp and settlement in the northern
territory, William T. I-opp, chief of
the Alaska division of the United
States bureau of education told the
brotherhood’s annual convention here
recently.
Mr. Lopp said he thought the na
tives should choose one of their own
race to act as a paid secretary to
travel from camp to camp to organ
ize. He also suggested the establish
ment of a brotherhood publication.
The brotherhood should handle na
tive affairs and take care of the na
tives generally, the official suggested.
