German Veterans
In N. Y. Denounce
Weisrnar7n CHARGES

The Dcutsche Kriegerbund, the Ger
man War Veterans Union. Of New York
reused by the insinuation of Henry
Weismann, president of the State Ger
man-American Alliance, that they op-
posed him because of his Americanism,
met last night in Maennerchor Hall
and adopted resolutions repudiating his
accusation.
The resolutions also demand that a
convention of the alliance and its af-
fiiated organizations be held at once
SO that the societies may have an
opportunity of showing their LOYALTY
to the government by energetic propa-
ganda for the Liberty Loan and the
war savings stamp campaigns.
The kregerbund olleges that Weis-
mann does not dare call this conven-
tion, because he knows he will lose his
post if it is held.
NV elsmann." the resolution reads,
opposes our proposition to call a state
convention with all his power Whether
ne does so because he does not care for
the success of the Liberty Loan or the
war savings stamp campaign or because
ne knows that he would not be re-
elected president Of the State Alliance
does not interest u.s.
The kriegerbund points out that it
Withdrew from the German-American
Alliance before the outbreak of the war
because it could not expcl those mem-
bers who were not of American citizen
ship, since their society is a mutual
benefit association. 1t therefore droppcd
from the ranks when Weismann said
mat only citizens could belong to the
Alliance.
"Weismann tells very malicious
lle,' the resolution says, "by contend
ing that we have left the German
American Alliance because he had
called himself an American patriot.
Chris Rebhan, our president, issued an
appeal which was printed in New York
morning papers of April 8, 1917. urging
German-Amcricans, whether citizens or
foreigners. strictly to obey the laws of
The United States and sincerely to fur
ther the interests of their adopted
country
This the Kricgerbund insists it has
tried to do. 1t subscribed $500 to the
first Liberty Loan and has appropriated
$1,000 for the purchase of third Lib
crty Loan bonds and war savings
stamps.

Threaten to Bar DR.. Muck
From Directing Orchestra
Opponents of His Appearance Here With Boston
Symphony Declare They Have 1.-Two Trump
Cards. if Issue Is Forced

Steps VIII be taken to prevent the
night and Saturday afternoon with the
Boston Symphony Orchestra at Carne-
glc Hall. Led by Mrs. William jay, Of
$50 Park Avenue, the subscribers to
the symphony concerts have evolved a
plan to prevent him from conducting
his orchestra in New York.
The plan, which Mrs. Jay says has
"two trump cards. was not divulged
yesterday, on the ground that the in
formation would prove advantageous
to the enemy" But the subscribers are
certain that it cannot fail and that a
ban will be placed on Dr. Muck in this
city such as has prevented him from
appearing in Washington, Pittsburgh,
baltimore, Detroit and Springfield
Mass.
Public opinion is crystalizing to
such an extent that Dr.. Muck will be
barred officially if Major Higginson
persists in disregarding the protest
submitted to him. said Mrs. Jay. "If
DR.. Muck is still determined to plav
next Thursday night, despite the pro
tests made against his appearance, we
still have two trump cards, either one
of which will finish this issue in a
manner extremely embarrassing to the
Boston Symphony organization.
"Dr. Muck's present stand is taken
because he received permission to play
elsewhere when the Boston Symphony
was rejected by the Department Of JUS
tice in Washington. This was months
ago, before the government began scri-
ously to end the privileges Of enemy
aliens.

covered yesterday that half of his fam

Senate Votes Power
To Sell Alien Property
Germany had observed the 1899 treaty
and was watching US.
Relieves Treaty Does Not Control

Germany had observed the 1899 treaty
and was watching US.
Believes Treaty Does Not Control
I'VE do not know whether she has
observed 1T or not" Senator Martin
replled. My personal opinion is that
the treaty does not control, and under
the most enlightened construction of
war, we should not be expected to
make enormous profits for Germany out
OF the war waged on us. When any
accounting is made. the balance will
be on the side of the United States
1t would take very strong-a me st
extraordinary case-that would make
me feel like turning over one dollar
TO the German Empire. 1t is incon-
celvable that any Senator can feel that
there is any obligation of treaty requr-
ing us to operate these properties and
turn over enormous profits to our enc
mics"
The question of disposing of the pro-
ceeds. Senator Martin said, was a mat
ter of policy to be determined at the
peace table" at the end of the war.
Congress should not and could not be
called upon to settle that policy now,
he insisted
Senator Martin explained the pro
ceeds from the German property would
be used to buy Liberty bonds and in
other ways for the prosecution of the
war "precipitated by the barbarous
policy of Germany.' He said the power
of sale was discretionary and not man.
datory.
Senator Underwood urged adoption
of the amendment. so as to "strke a
blow at the classes of Germany that
are urging on this war and continuing
the autocracy of Germany"
America Favored at 100 to
The proportion of American prop
erty in Germany to German property
in the United States is about to 100,
Senator Underwood said, and "where
Germany strikes one blow at us we will
be striking hundred at her.
"While the Senate is wrangling on
the question Of taking German prop
erty. the German government is levy
ing tribute on the citizens of countries
captured by her, despite their treaty
rights or law" said Senator Sherman,
of Illinois. "They are not debating
what are the rights of American Prop
erty, but what they can take and what
they can hold"

Alfalfa that has been planted with

HITS HARD IN
FARM HOME.

The farm of Henry Wolfe, an Ell
lenboro farmer and son-in-law of Jos.
Keene of this city, has been having a
u of bad luck in the past week.
Mr.. Wolfe farms more than 400 acres.
Monday of last week Walter Wolfe,
a half-brother, went to Camp Grant
as a soldier. This left Henry Wolfe
and a hired man on the place. Tues
day evening the hired man, Eddie
Keene, was cleaning the mower
when the horse started taking off
part of the big finger of the left hand.
Keene had his wounds bound and was
ready to do what he could but this
was not much. Thursday Wolfe was
engaged in putting cold water on a
work horse. The animal started at
the application and kicked with both
feet hitting Wolfe twice on one leg
and once on the other. Mr.. Willie
managed to get to the house but is
quite lame. The farm work is pro-
ceeding under difficulties.
