Falls and later IN Aberdeen. One of
the articles complained of was upon the
internement of Fred Henning, a long
time resident of Aberdeen, as an alien
enemy. The article in the Freie Presse
relating to Henning's incarceration was
very sympathetic, and spoke of the
noble patriotism Of Henning in going
to prison I'M in giving up his wife and
family for the fatherland.

ally to his internment arose over Hen

lies" statements in American news
papers concerning the loss of morale
in the German army. Another, a head

States.
Miss Dorothy Rehfeld, Aberdeen's
only woman attorney and the only Ger
man attorney in Aberdeen, has been
