Only the cold figures showing the results of the work o. the Department of Justice in coping with German plotters in this counetry, are given in Attorney General Gregory's annual report submitted today to Congress.

Most of those must necessarily remain untold until the end of the war, when a set of volumes rivaling the most exciting tales of fiction might h ewritten from them. The Attorney General's report merely tells the ' story of lesults in the figures of prison setncnces which the agents of German intrigue now are serving in I- ederol penitentiaries.

Beneficial teffocts. * "The government's hands have been ; materially strengthened so that it no .v ' has power to deal with disturbing mat ( contents," says the Attorney Genoial's report. "The prosecution of William D. Haywood and other loaders of the so-called Industrial Workers of the V orld, to the number of more than 150 in the northern district of Illinois is an instance of how these laws may be employed for th epublic protection in this time of stress. The effect of these prosecutions is already having: a far reaching- and highly beneficial influence toward the maintenance of orhder and obedience to law throughout the country." After dealing with the war activities of the department the Attorney General passes on to recommendations concerning the civil laws of tell *ncfinn IIIAUVIM Attorney General Gregory renews at the outset his recommendations that the commodities clause of the inter-state commerce law be amende* to meet Supreme Court dcisions, to diverse transportation from production. While the legislation Mr. Gregory recommends is intended particularly to covei the coal roods, it would a'ao prohibit to tiie last degree a ratway from manufacturing 01 owning anything1 it t/anspoit- in interstate cemmerce. Also, the Attorney Genera! renews his recommendations for a provision p< law intended to benefit the Foderal courts.

Undei' existing* law there i- no legal penally for sending threatening letters through the mails unless to accomplish extortion or as part of a means to def uial. Mr. Gregory recommends legislation to make it a fiime. Th.e statute of limitations for criminal prosecution in bankruptcy cases, now or.e year, the Attorney General regards as having defeated justice in some cases and he recommends that it be extended to three yea rs. In the enfo cmcent of the antitrust alws the Attorney General says ihc department has been confronted l.y peculiar conditions brought about by the war. There nr(> two broad limitations on the power of the de- j p ; rtmer.t. Increases of price, brought about l.y agreement, conspiracy or monopoly, but by the common selfish im% pulse of trade rs to take advantage <>f the extra.ordinary condtion of the times, are not punishable under the ar.ti-Uust laws, the report says, no matter how completely laeknig they may bo oi' economic justification or how extortionate. Sales of commodities by retailors to consumers generally fall outside of interstate commerce, and, therefore, arc not within the purview of the Federal laws.

United States and the dual monaichy. A blacklist of 1,600 firms in ^0 Central and Southern American coun- ? tries with whom merchants of the United States are* forbidden specifically to do business except, under spe nal license was promulgated by the , war trade board. The foreign office officially announced that at the recent interallied conference in which the United States participated agreements were concluded "upon the basis of a complete understanding and close soldiarity atrong the allies for the solution or the questions in which they have a common interest in the war." The cluma has issued a proclamation to all nations pleading for support as the only elective body in Russia. They also issued a petition to the allies against the annexation of Courland and asked protection from Germanism. Unfilled army hat contracts, amounting to $l,2o0.00, which the United States government*had award <u to Sigmund Eisner, probably will be held up as the result of the indictinent in federal court of four men connected with hat manufacturing firms to which the contracts had been sublet and two inspectors of the cuarterhi'aster corps in connection wth alleged frauds amounting to snoo.ooo.

There were three other prisoners under a strong guard in his compartment when O'Brien as a ruse, had the window opened by complaining of the smoke. The train was now (>0 miles inside Germany and traveling at 30 miles an hour but O'Brien decided to take desperate chance. He jumped from the train, skinning the whole side of his face, reopening the wound in hi* lip and losing consciousness. It was about 4 o'clock in the morning and a the darkness shielded him. When he recovered he was lying in a field. Then for 72 days he was a fugitive, traveling only at night. He trudged A.
