Edward w. Vogelsang Is
Proud of Work Done

His praise Of the Kaiser and declara-
ton that the elaborate spy system of
the Teutonic powers of which he was
an operative had this country already
beaten, caused the arrest of Edward
". Vogelsang, a wealthy German, of
100 West Twenty-ninth Street, yestcr-
day.
Charles De Woody, division superin-
tcndent of the Department of Justice,
said he considered Vogclsang a very
dangerous enemy alien.
He was taken into custody on
Wednesday for seditious uttcrances in
barroor. At the time it was believed
LIQUOR was responsible for his talk.
However, his examination before the
Federal authorities revealed that he
had been employed in the Deutsches
Bank in confidential capacity, and
shat since the outbreak of the war he
had made mysterious trips to various
parts of the world on German missions.

He admitted on examination that
while intoxicated he had said that he

rect his assertions.
He is thirty-four years old and came
to this country fourteen years ago.
However, since that time he has made
frequent trips to Germany and also to
South America. After the start of the
war he went to Japan with other Ger
man agents and was active in that
country spreading German propagan
da. Fearing arrest in Asia as spy
he fled to the United States late in
1914. Since his return to this country
he has been in constant touch with the
German agents, but has lived in hum

tions to the Federal authorities, he

Denies Hebrew Trades
Will Back the War
''Volkszeitung," Perturbed, Is
sues Correction" to "Capi-
talistic Press

The "New Yorker VolAszeitung" cor
rects the "capitalistic press" to-day for
assuming that the United Hebrew
Trades intended to help boost the forth
coming Liberty loan. The German
paper declares that the United Hebrew
Trades merely gave its business
agent permission to join the Liberty
Loan Committee if he felt like it. The
editorial follows:
"The bourgeoisie press informed the
world yesterday that the Omitted He
brew Trades had declared itself in
favor of the war; and resolved to start
an active campaign in behalf of the
third Liberty loan. The true facts
are as follows: Max Pine, the business
agent of the United Hebrew Trades was
asked by the Liberty Loan Commit
tee to join it. He submitted this in
vtation to his union, and the latter,
after long debating, decided to give
Pine permission to join the commit
teeznot in the name of the United He
brew Trades-but as a person. The de-
ductions drawn from this resolution by
the capitalistic press are certainly too
far Fetched"

Godsol's Brother
Tells of German
Propaganda Pictures

The motion pictures seized last week
by the order of State Attorney General
Lewis from the safe of l.. II. Gold
soil, manager Of the Russian Art Film
Corporation, 729 Seventh Aveneu, were
exhibited privately by Mr.. Goldsoll
in his studio last night to show how
they came to be viewed as German
propaganda material.
Mr.. Goldsol is a brother of Frank j.
Godsol, recently arrested here in con-
necton with his purchase of auto
mobiles for the French army.
The motion pictures showed scenes
Of Northern France, occupied by the
Germans, extensive troops manpvres,
ruins of cities bombarded by German
siege guns or blown up by the Teu-
tons. Industries behind the German
lines, the slaughterng of piss, making
cf sausage and other preparation of
man military prison camps, showing
Allied prisoners, smiling ard happy and
apparently well treated, were on the
programme.
All the pictures tended to show the
efficiency of the German army.
Mr.. Goldsoll whose name is trifle
different in spelling from that of his
brother. explained how the pictures
happened 20 be in his possession.
THE pictures are not mine," he said.

Miss Mary S. Mcdowell teacher OF

Ex-Soldier Of France, in
Letter to Tribune, Denies
Series of Charges
If Proven Will Go Back
Trying to Force Disclosure of
Evidence, Says Deputy
Attorney General

Frank J. Godso, former soldier of
who is being held in Washington at the
request of the French government,
which charges him with escroquerie,
an offence similar to eXtortion, yester-
day defied Deputy Attorney General
Alfred L. Beckerto prove charges
against him which he asserts the state
attorney gave out to the press.
On March agents Of the Attorney
the Alliance Motors Corporation and
the Russian Art Films Company. Many
of these files contained the private
correspondence Of Godsol, who was an
officer in both concerns. In making
public the charges on which these pa
pers were seized Mr.. Becker said that
he was searching for evidence to show
who was responsible for the produc-
tion of the Official Germanic War
Films in this country. He said that
Godsol had large interests in the COM
pany.
Godsol's challenge to the State
Attorney was embodied in letter
which the accused man wrote from
Washington: dated March 13, to the
editor of The Tribune.
Godsors Challenge
In it he says:
"New York newspapers have been
giving much publicity to a series Of
charges made against me by Deputy
Attorney Alfred l.. Becker.
81 am innocent of any of the wrong
doings with which Mr. Becker charges
me, and which, even if true, counsel
advises me are not cxtraditable.
"Nevertheless, if Mr.. Becker can
substantiate any rf the following
charges which have been made Will
voluntarily return to France immedi-
ings:
"That l was ever compelled to leave
any town, city or country because OF

"That | was ever imprisoned for any

"That he found documents in the

Defence Council Gusts
Mayor of Milwaukee

MILWAUKEE,. March 14.-After de-
posing Mayor Daniel w. Hoan from
the craftsmanship of the executive conf
mittee of the County Council of De-
fence, the committee late tonight de-
cded to lay over until after the city
election, April 2, the question of
whether the Socialist Mayor should
be oustcu entirely from the commit
tee.
The committee previously had voted
IA to 7 to evict from membership any
person or persons who would not put
themselves squarely on record as op-
posing the platform adopted by the
Socialists in st. Louis. but the vote
to defer action. on membership fol-
lowed.
Mayor Hoas was removed as chair
man of the County Council of De-
icnce to-day by vote of l6 to 5.
Only Socialist members voted to re-
tain him, including the Mayor himself.
The Mayors removal was the result
of his failure to answer a question
nairc with regard to matters affecting
the war in connection with his plat
form as Socialist candidate for re-
election.
Following the removal of Mayor
Hoan, four other Socialists, members
of the defence council. were voted out
by practically the same vote. The
platform which the members of the
council objected to and for which
Mayor Hoan stands contains a plank
which reads:
"Thc American people did not want
and do not want this war. They were
plunged into this abyss by the trcach-
cry of the ruling class Of the coun-
try It's demagogic agitators. its
bought press, its sensational photo
plays, its lying adyertisements and
other purchasable instruments of pub
lie expression"
The Mayor maintained the commit
tee had no power to remove him; that
to do so would be high h-handed usur-
patton of authority.

for German interests to hoard great
stocks of wool, which might be sent to
Germany when peace is concluded.
