Teutons Tried to Thwart English-American Peace Centenary Plans. LOBBIED IN CAPITOL Organizations Fostered Irish and Other Alien Interests Over Country. By Associated Press WASHINGTON, Oct. 11.

One of the activities of the organ izations was to erect elaborate monu ments over the graves of prominent German-Americans and to give pub licity to conspicuous roles played by Germans in the United States.
