However, of late, we cannot
overlook the campaign of A. c.

These Socialist organizers and

If they make traltorous remarks;

TT grieves us that Gov. Frazier,

Amsterdam, May 2s.-A notice ap-
pears in German newspapers giving
warning against attempts to COM
municate by mail with Germans in
America through neutral Red Cross
organizations under cover of Red
Cross envelopes. The notice says
such letters are invariably opened by
the American authorities and may
give out information regarding con-

more that such letters may never
reach the persons to whom they are
addressed and that these persons
run the risk of being imprisoned.
The warning does not apply to
communications through the Red

ALLIANCE OFFICERS
DENY TREASON CHARGE
German American League
Will Defend Charter Before
Senate Committee
LOYAL TO U. S., CLAIM
Art Club Officers Refuse to Say Why
Doctor Hexamer Changed His
Residence

As Philadelphia officers of the Ger
man-American Alliance are today pre-
paring evidence to present when they
appear before the Senate subcommittee
Of the Committee on the Judiciary, next
Saturday, to give reasons why the
charter of the organization shall not be
revoked, charges and counter-charges
as TO the loyalty of the organization are
heard on all sides.
In "A telegram from Washington, SEN
ator King of Utah, who Is head OF the
subcommittee and who introduced the
bill urging the repeal of the charter
SAYS that charges of disloyaty against
the alliance were preferred by some
members.
The Senator's statement followed last
on the denials of past and present OF
ncers of the alliance that the organiza-
tion was in any way 'amenable to law
or had done anything TO cause the reNo-
cation of its charter.
The Rev. s. q. Won Bossc, president
and Adolph Timnl, secretary, made nat
denials of trcachery against the unlleu
States. Dr, Charles J. HeNamer, former
president, was equally emphatic.
/ Secretary Timm, however, admitted
that the alliance entered politics III Penn
sylvania, as charged last Saturday by
Gustavus Ohlinger, II Toledo, o., lawyer.
lie said. however, it was done for de-
fensc to protect its own club Interests.
MIR. Timm further said he will admit
the charge before the Senate subcom-
mittee next Saturday and VIII use II
as "a defense of the alliance.
Or. Won Basse, president of tho al
Eance since December l said that while
State branches are not allowed TO use
the name of the alliance in political
battles and while the national organi-
zation never enters politics, there Is
nothing in the constitution and bylaws
Of the national organization to prevent
state branch from engaging IN the
political arena for any purpose.
However, Mr.. Timm said, the Penn
sylvania branch was never in politics
hi the actual sense of the word" He
saded that he did not know Ohlinger,
but that the Toledo lawyer would be
shown something next Saturday.
Mr.. Tlmm said he was somewhat per-
picked by the dispatches from WASH
ington that Mr.. Ohlinger had made his
charges at IL hearing before the sub
committee.
"The Rev. Mr.. Won Bosse and myself
had planned to attend the hearing" he
said but on Friday afternoon we re-
ceived the following telegram from SEN
ator King:
lowing to the absence of number
Z Of the subcommittee the hearing on the
. bill to repeal the charter of the German
American Alience has been postponed
for ono week. at the same time and

X 80 We didn't go down, and / was sur
prlsed to read In the morning papers
that a hearing had been held in Wash

then want to be excused from making
nny further charges
