Only the cold figures showing the re
sults or the work of the department
of justice In coping with German plot
ters In this country are given In At
torney General Gregory's annual re
port submitted to congress. None of
the details of the operations of the se
cret service of that department,
teuching: almost every condition from
the romantic to tho sordid, are dis
closed. Most of those must necessar
ily remain 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 at
torney general's report merely tells
the story of results In the figures or
nrlson sentences which the agents of
Gorman Intrigue now are serving in
federal penitentiaries.

of results.
"The rovornment's hands have
been materially strengthened, so that
it now has power to deal with disturb
ing malcontents," says the attorney
general's report.
"Tho prosecution of William D.
Haywood and other leaders of the so
called 'industrial Workers of the
World, to the number of more than
150 in the Northern District of Illi
nois Is an Instance of how these lawa
may be employed for the public pro
tection In time of stress. The effect
of these prosecutions is already hav
ing a far reaching and highly benefi
cial lnfluenco towards the mainten
ance of order and obedience to law
thruout tho country."
