NEW YORK. Nov. S.-The federal
grand jury today indicted the alleged

ably be arraigncd tomorrow Those
who were indicted were Fay. former
Lieutenant in the German army: Brei.
tuns. Scholz. Edward Bronkhurst. Il
mining engineer alleged TO have pro.
vided Fay with explosives: Paul
Daeche and DR.. Herbert Kienzle.
The trial of these men, which may
be followed by It conviction. is not
likely TO cause foreign complications.
even if the plotters should get long.
severe sentences. for the men them
selves knew that they took their own
freedom in their hands when they un-
dertook the plot, and their nation will
doubtless submit in silence to any sen
tence that may be passed upon them.
for protest would admit that the pro-
testing nation was itself involved in
the planning of the plot.
