DANGEROUS MOVEMENT"
"Just as 1 revealed last night judge
Hyian's membership in the Friends
Of Peace. now make public Judge
Hylan's connection with q more Sc
ditious. a more disloyal. a more dan
gerous movement than the society
which In convention applauded the
sinking Of a peaceful American ship.
"The Friends OF Peace nest, where
| these vultures OF sedition broo1ed,
was In Room 1915, ct No. $50 Nassau
Street. These quarters were secured
after Albert Sander, a confessed Ger
man spy, had brought a letter TO the
agents OF the building from Victor
Ridder. stating that Sander was
member OF the Staats-Zeitung stan
and would make good tenant
Henry weismann, President of the
National German-American Alliance
OF New York; Hugo Schweitzer and
Sander himself had a more sedltious
object In view than the calling OF a
disloyal convention. With other agents
OF Germany. they determined TO do In
the United States what Bolo Pasha
did In France.
They planned TO organize, with Q
capitalization Of $4,000, 900, a chain Of
pro- German publications which would
corrupt the loyalty and allegiance Of
Americans just as 6olo Pasha tried 70
corrupt tho loyalty and allegiance Of
Frenehmen through newspapers, as
revealed in the Bonnet Rouge scan
daI.
with this in mind they sent out a
circular on March IS. 1915. with the
/ heading:

any individual. but concealed the
identity of these disloyalists under
the name Printers and Publishers
Association. Inc

German cause
The circular ostentatiously de-
clared that the proposed paper or
papers would be Loyalty American,
but between the lines, the dlsloyalist
could read that his seditious desires
would be satisfied by the proposed
publication.
The circular was signed, Respect
fully yours. the Printers and Pub
lishers' Association. Inc Underneath
this signature was an Advisory
Board OF Honorary Vice Presidents
This list included twenty seven
I names. or the twenty-seven, all but
five were Germans: of the five names
on the list that were not Germans,
only three were not included in the
list OF Honorary Vice Chairmen OF
the Friends OF Peace which made
public last night
THE sixteenth name on the list Of
