Says German
AnianceHere
Helps Enemy
Witness Accuses Big leu
ton Society at Senate
Hearing

WASHINGTON, Feb. 23. - The Ma
tlonal German American Alliance was
pictured before Senate Judiciary sub
committee to-day bv Gustavus Ohlin-
ger, Toledo lawyer, as cover for
German propaganda in the United
States. Mr.. Ohlinger was the first wit
ness at hearings on the bill by Senator
King, of Utah, to revoke the charter of
the alliance and wind up it's affairs
and those of it's state organizations.
Declaring that much Of his testi-
monay was based on information taken
from literature sent to members, Mr..
Ohllnger said the operation of the or
ganization in the United States was
similar to the propaganda system by
which Germany brought Austria under
Its complete dominance. He had not
completed his testimony when the COM
mlttee adjourned tonight, and he will
be called again Monday
The subcommittee proposes later to
call officials of the alliance, including
the president, the Rev. s. G. Won Bosse,
of Wilmington, Del, and the secretary,
Adolph Timm, of Philadelphia, in order
to hear their side of the case.
In his testimony to-day Mr. Ohlinger
create the impression that all members
of the alliance were conscious Of hav
ing worked against the interests of the
United States. The real propagandists
in the organization, ne said, worked in
secret, and IN a subtle way urged the
individual members to further the in
tcrests of Germany. The entrance of
the United States into the war. how
ever, had curtailcd their activities, Mr..
Ohlinger added.
The witness said that a former prcsi-
dent of tho alliance, c. J. Hexamer. of
Philadelphia, received from Emperor
William in 1904 the Fourth Order of
the Red Eagle for his Services to
1t was HcXamer, he asserted, who sent
telegraphic messages to the presidents
of the state alliances instructing them
to wire President Wilson that ma
jority of the citizens Of their states
opposed any drastic action against Ger
many as the result of the sinking of
the Lusitania.
Preceding the national political con-
ventions in 1916, the witness continued,
the alliance worked against the renomi-
nation of President Wilson and urged
it's members to aid in bringing about
the defeat of Theodore Roosevelt for
the Republican nomination, both on the
theory that neither favored "strict neu-
trality" and that both were opposed to
German interests in this country.
A letter addressed to Gcrman-Ame
cans in this country, published in an
alliance bulletin issued in Chicago, Mr.
Ohlingcr said, urged all citizens of Ger
man descent to vote "oniy for those
who favored Germanism." That letter.
he said, was written by former Repre-
sentative Bartholdt, of Missouri, who
was active in obtaining passage of the
bill giving the alliance it's charter
In an alliance bulletin issued in July,
1917, the witness told the committee, a
writer declared that every German in
the United States was a pioneer in

London Ration Cards

LONDON, Feb. %. - This was tho
last day on which persons living in
London and the Immediately adjoining

butter without producing a ration card

to produce a ration card before maxine

me newspapers have featured the
details of the ration card plan to the

nence to the fact that King George has
his food and meat cards, like cvcrv
other person in the city.
Voluntary rationing died hard. Long
lines OF people stood before the meat

Wisconsin Senators
Forced to Vote on
1ndorsing La Toilette
Especial CoY7'espondence


MADISON, Wis, Feb. 23.-The SEN
ate of the Wisconsin Legislature is
under call of the house tonight.
Twentyfour members are locked in the
chamber and nine others are now on
trains being brought back to Madison.
Before adjournment every member will
be forced to take stand on United
States Senator Robert NJ La Follette's
anti-war attitude
The call came after one of the most
dramatic sessions in the history of the
lawmaking body.
The fireworks began late this after
noon when Senator Perrye demanded
that the Republican caucus loyalty
resolutions, emitting reference to La
Toilette for the sake of harmony in
the party, be amended to include the
name of La Toilette. The resolutions
have already passed the Assembly
without mention Of La Toilette.
Senator Huber in reply read q
what Huber called La Follette's pros
war acts. The speech, alleged by the
La Toilette opposition to have been
prepared in Washington, consumed an
hour. Attempts by Huber's colleagues
to question some Of his statements
were blocked by the gavel of Lieu
tenant Governor +. r. Dithmar, a
staunch La Folletter and u candidate
for United States Senator to fill the
Husting vacancy at the special cleo
ton to be held on April 2.
Senator Bennett rose to object to
some of Huber's assertions, and was
Kissed by group of college students in
the gallery.
Immediately Senators Whitman and
Hanson demanded that Lieutenant Gov
ernor Dthmar clear the galleries, but
the chair refused. Then they threat
cned to clear the galleries themselves

proud of it as means Of showing his
loyalty to his native country. In the
same issue a poetic writer declared in
verse that the oath of allegiance to the
United States did not include a dec
laraticn that he would fight against
Germany.
The bylaws of the organization belle
its real purpose, Mr.. Ohlingcr said, for,
although they declare one object is to
teach American ideals to German immi-
grants, there is no record that that is
being done On the other hand, he de-
clared, the entire activity in that re-
spect is confined to urging the teach
ing of German in the public schools,

Working People Desire
Peace Above Everything

Here follows the report Of corre-
spondent in Switzerland:
"There is no party in Germany which
views the war in the same light that
the mass of the people did in august,
1914, Germany's war party, the Junkers
and Pan Germans, say that now Rus
sia is out of it, the Germans GER
tainly cannot lose the war and nave Ii
fair chance TO win it. Many of those
in the middle class are making money,
and to them the commercial advantages
weigh just as heavily as the terms Of
peace.
"The working people desire peace
above everything. They have grown
somewhat callous from SO much suffer
ing and privation and lack of energy
and enthusiasm. The masses know
what it is to suffer from lack of food,
coal, illuminants, soap and the most
ordinary comforts of normal life, and
so when they arc told that England,
France and Italy are experiencing the
same privations through the work Of
their U-boats they hold on grimly.

By Arthur S. Draper

LONDON, Feb. 1.-THE real ques-
tion is whether it is possible for prac-
tically the entire world to prolong the
siege of four nations until the smaller
group is economically exhausted.
Though cities, such as Paris, and
whole sections of country, such as
the American Southern States in the
Civil War, have been besicged, there is
no parallel in history for the situation
existing in Europe to-day.
The Central Powers have yet to find
way to end this siege. which has
lasted into its fourth year. The latest
turn of events in Russia has modified
conditions slightly, but good judges be-
lieve that the Central Powers will OBJ
tain little economic assistance from the
East for at least year
What is the economic situation? To
judge that have collected information
from trustworthy sources in many
places, and nothing has been set down
licre which cannot be corroborated. No
attempt has been made to exaggeratc
the hardships of the enemy or to mini
miZe the work he has done since he
realized late in the first year of the
war that Armageddon was to be pro-
lcnged fa- beyond his pre-war esti
mates.
