Declaring that In Bolshevism the radical elements of the country had for the first time found a common cause upon which they ean unite, Mr. Lamar said bis Information showed that propaganda against the government was being conducted with great regularity and that the magnitude could be measured by the bold and outspoken statements" found in the literature. Accompanying his memorandum were several hundred excerpts from mall matter showing the trend of the propaganda. These will be made public later. Particular reference was mude by the solicitor to the activity of the dissatisfied foreign element of the country, but lie said perhaps the L W. W. was the most active in the dissemination of the propaganda because it has at Its command a large field force known as recruiting agents, subscription agents, etc., who wprk unceasingly in the furtherance of the cause. . i GERMAN ARMY LIMIT FIXED.
