Thursday, May II, 1916.

Whenever a political campaign is in
progress men who are interested in
politics are astonished and troubled
because so many of the voters do not
take a particle of interest and hardly
know what is going on. Even in
close and hard fought contest in Ben
nington nearly a third of the voters
fail to so to the polls and we presume
that the situation in other towns is
much the same In a preliminary cam
paign the apathy is much greater. This
situation is probably perfectly natural
and normal, Practically no one thing
interests all people. 4 campaign for
better roads interests those who ride.
A new sidewalk propaganda appeals to
those who have to boot it much over
poor walks, a hospital school baseball
team, lair, or any other activity is a
live issue only to a part Of the people
is not reasonable to expect that a
political canvass can hold more than
share of the arena of public atten
ton Perhaps in the long run it is
Just as we'll There are so many
things Of Importance, interest ant
value that no one cause should be giy

GERMAN CONSUL
IS INDICTED
Carl A. Londerwitz Charged
With Procuring False Pass
port for Confessed Spy.

New York, May S.-Carl A. Loud.
eritz, German consul, at Baltimore,
Maryland, was indicted by the Fed
eral Grand Jury here today, charged
with procuring false passport for
Horst Van Der Golz, confessed spy.
Another indictment was handed down,
charging Wolfe Won lyle, former Sec
retary of Capt. Franz Won Papen, re-
called military attache. DR.. Walter
J. Schlee, already indicted in the al
legged "fire bomb plot" and Gustave
Steinberg alleged aide of Franz Won
Rintelen, German agent, with con-
spring to falsify ships manifest
in sending a cargo of lubricating oil
to Germany. ..... ....-.-...
The indictment against conusl
Louderitz charges that he obtained
q possport for Won Der COLI in the
name Of Bridgman, w. Taylor, from
The Secretary of State at Washington,
August "a, 1914, and that on October
2, of the same year, the passport was
rised by the Italian consul general
here. On the following day, Won Der
Golz sailed for Genoa, Italy, on board
the Italian liner Diuca d. Aosta.
According 20 Federal officials the
new indictment against Wolfe Won
Lyle and Schiee was made possible
by the papers seized from the Office
Of Won lyle. They alleged that papers
found among Won Igle's effect show
that the freight charges on the oil
were paid by Won lyle, while employ
ed by Capt. Won Papen.
