German Indicted
For Propaganda
Among Negroes

The Federal Grand Jury yesterday
returned an indictment charging Max
Fraudenheim, a German agent of the
Committee of the East of Berlin, with
spreading damaging and insidious
form Of propaganda among the negroes
of Harlem. There ar seven counts in
The indictment based on violations of
the spionagc act, and if Fraudenheim
IS convicted he can pe sent to the At
lanta Penitentiary for 14O years and
be fined $4,000. Each count involves
possible penalty Of twenty years in
prison and fine Of $4,000.
The Indictment charges that early in
January of this year, while working as
an insurance solicitor il Harlem's ne
gro section, Fraudenheim spread alarm
ing stories designed to obstruct re-
cruiting and enlistment and tcrrify ne
groes. into evading the draft. He told
Charles Nixon, a member Of Colonel
Hayward's 18th Infantry, it is alleged,
that Germany would crush her oppo-
nents and that when it captured the
negro troops the latter would fare as
they did in the times of King Leopold.
Fraudenheim also, it is said. told
Nixon that the Germans would torture
the negroes by cutting off their ears,
arms and breasts and when they dug
their eyes out would send them across
No Mans Land so that they would be
shot down by American bullets. Ralph
Calderon, another negro, says Fraud
enheim told him that the Germans
would not sink transports on their
way over because they wanted to get
the Americans in Europe so that they
could starve them.
Later in January, the indictment
charges that in speaking to Kenneth
Sutherland, Fraudenheim said that the
Kaiser loved the negroes and planned
after he had won the war to establish
an independent state for them in
America which would be governed by
negroes, under the protection of the
imperial German army and navy. He
also repeated this story to other
negroes.

Women to Desert
Democrats Unless
They Get Votes
Hundreds Pledged to De-
eide if Suffrage Fails, to
Pass Senate

The 1918 suffrage campaign in New
YORK Is on. Launched yesterday by a
group Of registered Democratic woman
voters. this new campaign, organized
for the support of the Federal suffrage
amendment, will be carried to o~ary
corner Of the state in it's effort to get
favorable action on the amendment in
the Senate in August. 1t Is sponsored
by the National Woman's party, but
will be waged by women Democrats as
group rather than by the woman's
party as q whole.
A threat of secession from the party
is to be the weapon of the Democratic
women, who since the Senate's per-
formance last Thursday have rallied
to the call Of Miss Elsie Hill, of Con-
necticut. and Miss Helen Todd, of New
York, both enrolled Democrats. Organ
lied Democratic women Of Tammany
clubs have not been canvassed, but the
first call has brought hundreds Of In
dependent Democratic women, who
have pledged themselves to leave the
ranks of the party if the Democratic
administration does not "include women
in the democracy that women are sac
rificing everything for to-day" as Miss
Todd puts it.
Corner Meetings Start
And so yesterday a familiar flash Of
through the streets of New York,
stopping at street corners and gather
ing crowds, suffragists hitting the trail
again, this time not for themselves
but for the women of other states.
Down in front of the Sub-Treasury
Building and up at Thirty-ninth Street
and Fifth Avenue Miss Hill and Miss
Todd spoke yesterday. putting the case
before the people. And along with
threats Of desertion they expressed
their confession of faith.
president Wilson has always beer,
able to do everything he has tried
sure that he is going to force the pas
sage of the amendment through the
Senate as he has forced other pieces
of important legis lation. We fully ex-
pect him to do this. If he does not,
if the Democratic party fails women
once more, then we women cannot
longer put our faith in the party. We
shall no longer consider it an honor
to belong to the Democratic party and
we shall decline to support it,"
Propaganda for Germans
"The Senate's refusal to grant suf-
frage to women is beautiful propa-
ganda for the Germans" Miss Hill told
her street crowds. "What could be
more effective in Germany than the
news that the United States, which
talks democracy. does not in her own
country live democracy? What is more
ironic than sending the flower of our
land to die for democracy in France
when the Senators at home are fight
ing democracy in Washington?
"Our soldiers have gone abroad in
good faith that our attitude about lib
erty for the world is a sincere one.
The Senate is stabbing them in the
back when it refuses to extend that
liberty to the wives and mothers of
those defenders of liberty"

The national committee Of the Social
ist party will make countrywide Con-
gressional campaign this fall and hopes
to elect Representatives in districts
where the Socialists believe there is a
strong anti-war sentiment.
This was the burden Of speech
made by Otto Branstctter, member of
the Socialist National Committee, to
the delegates to the New York State
Convention Of the Socialist party, at
the Peoples House, yesterday.
Speeches in defence Of /. w. WIS on
trial at Chicago for alleged violation
Of the espionage act were made by
Morris Hillquit, who presided as chair
man, and others. A fund Of $2o5 to aid
the indicted men was raised.
Espionage Act Attacked
Resolutions were adopted attacking
the passage of the espionage act as q
violation Of the constitutional guar
antees of a free press, free speech and
the right of peaceful assembly. Other
resolutions condemned the ousting of
teachers from the public schools of
New York City for making alleged sedi-
tious utterances and for alleged pro-
German sympathics.
The convention was hardly under
way before the first anti-war feeling
made itself manifest. Miss Sarah Lind
gren, a delegate from Kings County,
questioned the right of Miss Jessie
Huen, another delegate from Kings, to
sit on the committee on resolutions,
because Miss Huen had "been actively
engaged in the sale of war savings

future welfare OF the nation as the
boys return from the battleships and
the trenches to positions of influence
and leadership n civil life.
"Prodigious as the service Of these
welfare organizations has been dur
ing the period OF military preparation
and actual conflict, it will be OF even
more consequence in the interval of
months and perhaps years that will
eiapse between the cessation of hos
tflities and the complete demobiliza
ton of our great army. The strain
and exaltation Of actual conflict will
have passed and during long months
of comparative idleness away from
home our boys will need more than
ever the ministrations of these great
organizations.
So let the response to this appeal
be prompt and adequate and let us
all remember that the campaign is
seven campaigns in one and that the
contribution which we would have
made to one campaign is not suf-
flcient.
