HERE, IN OUR MIDST

While it is generally understood
that the organizations which were
used by Count Won Berns1orr 60 in
Auencs the congress, are known to
the department. of justice, their
names are withheld. It can be said
unequivocauy, however, that at least
one OF the organizations used by
Bernstorn had headquarters in In
dianapolis, and that at times Indi-
annapolis was used as a center for the
sending ont Of German propaganda.
The act Of the government in not
making public this organizations
name can only be construed as a de-
sire not to ohastise these organiza-
ttons unduly, but to permit them to
see the eror Of their ways ard to per-
nit their members to become good
American citizens instead Of pro-
Germans or German-A1nerican."
