FIFTH FLOOR FILLED WITH FINE FURNITURE HARRESBURG (AK& TELEGRAPH of Justice yesterday began to in quire into the mass of letters, pa pers. documents and other data that were seized in the various raids en ginered in this section. The greater part of these came from the homes of Thun and Junssen. and while the contents remained a secret yesterday, Mr. Daniel and his aids said they expected to uncover the ramifica tions of the propaganda carried on through the press and periodicals similar to Jeremiah O'Leary's Bull, which was suppressed and its editor arrested on the charge of treason. WnU'lieil Slitfo I*. S. Kutcred War An interesting revelation by the federal authorities is that the places raided and the men suspected had been under surveillance since this country entered the war. This es pionage was placed upon the sus pects and thei); homes, it was further stated, because of the avowed pro- German sympathies that they are ac cused of showing prior to the day the United States became a bellig erent. A partial examination of the papers seized, it was stated, seemed to in dicate that the owners had been charged with carrying on the Ger man propaganda after Count von Bernstorff and his assistants had been bantshed from this country. Thun and Janssen, it Is held, were especially prominent in spreading propaganda, their especial duties be ing to handle the money that financed this sort of work. Huge sums are said to have been distributed, the principal benefactors, according to the authorities, being George Syl vester Viereck, publisher of the Fatherland, alias Vlereck's Weekly, the publishers of The Spirit of the Age in Chicago and other periodicals whose intense pro-Germanism wus rampant before the United States be came active in the war. "The home of Prof. Richard C. Scheldt, in Lancaster." said Mr. Rosenbaum. "was the agency that seems to have been most frequently used In forwarding funds to different points. In one instance we have found that Thun sent a sum of money to Professor Scheldt with in structions that he buy a bank draft before sending it to New York in order that it might not be traced."

MEN FOR ARMY OR NAVY MUST COME FROM DRAFT LIST Daniels and Baker Stop En listments Until Man-Power Bill Is Passed Washington, Aug. 9.—Enlistments in the Army, Navy and Marine Corps were stopped yesterday. The restric tion will prevail until Congress passes the new man-power bill en larging the ages of military service. That action was taken in view of the proposal of Senator Wadsworth, of New York, to extend the selective service act sa as to end voluntary enlistments In th# Army, Navy or M.i rine Corps. If Congress decides that men for the three branches of service shall Ibe called through the draft, volun tary enlistments in the United States will become a matter of history tuid AUGUST 9, 1918. all men called In the future will have the same status In service. Secretary of War Baker was to appear before the Senate Committee on Military Affairs this morning to explain the new man-power bill. Secretary Baker would not indicate | his position with respect to applying the draft act to the Navy. "The Secretary of the Navy and I have discussed informally the ques tion of extending the draft to cover the men needed for the Navy, but no conclusion has been reached," ho said. "I should not be willing to say anything on this subject except by conference and concurrence with him." Mr. Daniels said as all men of Navy and Marine Corps enlistment age would be Included in the new draft ages, the Navy necessarily would have to draw on such classes for Its personnel, under arrange ments with the War Department, if the Wadsworth amendment is not adopted. In announcing the suspension of enlistments Mr. Daniels said: Order Enlistments Stopped "The large Increase in enlistments In the Navy and Marine Corps has made It possible to suspend further enlistment until pending legislation affecting the draft for the Army is disposed of.
