Charge, Treason.

BERLIN, September 4-The editor OF
the Socialist organ, Vorwaerts, has been
arrested. and all of the copies Of last
Sundays edition Of the paper have been
seized In consequence of the publication
OF leading editorial on the Sedan-Day
celebration. The charge is high treason.
To-day's edition of the paper criticizes
the Emperor's fetes and speeches. and
declares that an explanation of the passage
in the Kaisers speech at the state din
ner In the White Hall OF the Castle.
made In calling upon the Guards to put
down that reasonable band" meaning
the Socialists, has become imperative.
The paper adds that adequate criticism
OF such threats as were INDUCED in by
the Emperor is impossible on account OF
the public prosecutions already begun.
In the criminal prosecution OF the edi-
tor of the Vorwaerts ana the seizure OF
the edition Of his paper containing the
offensive articles, the initiative was take
by the Emperor himself, after seeing the
Objectionable article.
The semi-ofiicial press fastened to deny
that the action taken against the Nor-
waerts implies a project TO renew excep-
tional LEGISLATION In the Relchstag.
