WASHINGTON, Aug. 16—Justice ‘Department agents are probing whole- sale charges of a $2/000,000-a-week German propaganda in the United States, as they are appearing in docu- mentary and other form in The New York World, Attorney General Greg- ory admitted to-day. “I cannot say we have gone very deeply into the matter as yet,” he sald, “but the department takes offi- cial cognizance of such things and there may be developments later or there may not, depending upon what is brought to Hght. The department will probe thoroughly anything that looks like a breach of neutrality. Fur- ther than this I do not care to speak.” The Attorney General declined to say whether any member of the Ger- man Embasyy is under surveillance, whether the Government seriously considers the possibility of an organ- ized German propaganda in America, or if he suspects any connection bi tween the arrest of Walber Ortolph, alleged spy, in Florida, and the alleged meneral scheme of German activities, is — LETTERS GIVE PROOF OF THE GERMAN PLOT.

The cavalrymen returned the fire and the shooting from the Mexican side stopped. ‘There were no casual- ties among the American troops.
