WASHINGTON. D.G.. Jun.. 20
One of the first problems President j
Wilson will face when he returns from j
Kurope is that of elemeney towaixl ;
persons convicted of violating the e<
monage law.
The department of justice i> receiv
ing ninny inquiries a.- to whether pern1
-mg cases will he pushed to their cot.
elusion, whether clemency wi!i he »*\
tended to prisoners.
The department position. a> give! .
by Assistant Attoney General \
feed Bettman. in charge of espionai:
cases is:
“NVith.i a.:-..
peace treaty will have th<* shghe-1
effect on pm>ecution ot persons
offenses against the g r eni:v.**nt c<u
mitted during the war. The d-par.
tncnt is concerned merely with entore
ing the law. If there i.- to h any
change before tho peace treat) is sign
ed, it will have to come through new
legislation by congress.
-The matter of extending clemen y
it persons eonvicted is solely in iln*
lands of the President. It will come
ittM'ore him soon.”
t p t«> Pocember - the department
of justice had handled 1281* cases *1
alleged violations of the espionag
aw. Of these 252 pleaded guilty an ’•
were sent to prison. 2”*7 were convic t
• 1 after trial, and 792 arc* pending.
Most of the cases have had to 1 e
with violations of the draft law, pr:t -
ipally failure by men to register. In
li«» majority of eases the accused wen *
iniucted into the army. Bettman
•air.' slackers that any who have ^
ar escaped anvst are still liable to
mnishment.
The same applies to violators of
he espinage law. It is still might;.
*nsafe to u>e strong language on a
troet corner about the Pnited Stat \ ,
h* army, or the war.

these figures are correct Germany
has been lying for years about its

Here’s what William (’. Hunt, chief
' statisician of tlu* United States ( er
i sus llureau has to say on the subject:
-While it may have been possible
for the Ge man authorities to have
| concoct* l i* ml maintained a gigantic
I tie about Germany’s population, i
. doesn’t sec i probable. In the first
place, it w *u!d have taken the most
wholesale a.id efficient lying ever un
covered.
“They must have started the lie
ioeades ago and continued it without
l ’ oak. They must have lied in every
>irth. marriage, death, occupational
report. There lies must have been
arried up from the smallest hamlet
to the large t city, for if the^e was a
population lie of such great propor*
ions it must have covered the whole

would have b *en possible for so many
years without discovery.

But Germany has proved herself th.>
most export and nuscrupulous liar of
all time. She lied carefully and sy..
tematically for years about her mani
I facturing statistics, as was discovered
' 1)v the late Colonel Wright, then U. S.
' Commissioner of Labor. She may have
lied about her population. But census
experts of the world havn’t been abb*
