Germany Still Promoting Hostility to Allies in U S, Warns Officials
Wireless dispatches from the present German government claim spies and agents nightly reach America from coast to coast.

Secret service men say the campaign is as far reaching and vicious as two years ago, backed by the same elements that ruled Germany before.
