A. MITCHELL PALMER TELLS OF SPY WORK OF 0ERILMUNS Florida Lumber Compiy Was a Hot lIed of Sedition, Ie Says. Chicago, Ill., M1ay 29.--Aimerieans temporarily resident in enemy terri tory during the war will have little difficult) in having their property re turned to them under the now condi tions following the signing of the arm istice," Attornevy (enerai PalI mer told the Illinois liar Association, discuss il: the work ol' the alien proplerly custodian's office. "When the enemy character of per sons rests sorely upon their residence it will be seen that by chanlge of res dnclev iito nlol-Cnliiy territory, they lose tiheir eniny chalracter. The at tornecy general has adopted a liberal ilellreta tion of the aCt, which per mils such11 persosns whei. they lose their elielliy Cllracter to be treated as if they had allways been non-enemy persons and to have thei'ir roierty re tirnerl u11pon a proper showiig of loy alty." American cltizens who lost. their property in Germany will be allowed, in the opinon of the Attor'ney Gcn vral, to present claims to tie United States goverment. which will see that they are reiibursed from Germain holdings here. lIe sald that it would be m1uch bttetor than turninli g propelty back to Gernsi . for lie foresaw that tIhle Germans would not he welcome as businiess mnlil 1111o Aierican soil willin the next decade at least. Much new light on the work of run ning to earth enemy interests in tile United States was given by the Attor ney General, who iwas alien property custodian before lie entered the cabi let. "Down ;I Florida, tle groat Ger m11 all-Ainer)'all Ilumber cornmpany, Owni ed by a Priince of Germany, had ae ctunuted nearly 200.000 acres of timbewr land arouid St. Andrews Day," said Mr. Paller.

BU' Lau Phone It so happens that the manager of the coliplany for years had been a member of the foreign office of Germany and it so happens also that when we took over the plant and began to operate it and eamined their books, papers and files, expecting to find a great mass of information about the lumber busi ness, we found a great mass of the Pan-Gerian literature which had been flooding this country for years. It was a veritable spy center and would have been a nest of sedition If Gor many had had her way and we had not taken it away from her." tRAINMEN PROTEST LATEST WAGE AWARD IIrotherhood Passes Illesolutoion Ex pressine Disapproval and Cites Con. ditions.
