HERE'S HIGH TREASON
 OF kANktST VINTAGE
Herman Scheffauer Indicted for Trea-
 son Is Relieved Safe From Arrest on
 German Soil.

New York. Jan. 9.-That Herman Scheffuer. poet and author, indicted by a Federal Grand Jury here on [ charge of treason, is thought to be in Berlin and probably never will be ar rested was the statement made by Assistant United States District At torney Matthews, who declared. how ever, that the indictment would serve as a warning to other traitors now absent from the country never to re- turn. Scheffauer. who was born in San Francisco, was accused of having aid ed the cause of German against tnr United States, while in Berlin, by writing articles for the Continental Times. newspaper published by the German propaganda bureau
 An open letter to My Dear "" which, it is alleged, he caused to- be printed in the Continental Times on December 21st, 1917, reads in part: l You say that l turned upon a coun- try to which I professed allegiance in favor of a country now it's deadly ene- my have never professed allegiance to any country. To England I owe none. To America as a born citizen l owed it only according to the die. tates. of my conscience. I oppose the policy of America now-or that of the powers which have my unfortunate country in thralls-as I have always opposed the English policy which dic- tated it because l knew it to be hope. less, damnably wrong
 In this letter. Scheffauer is said tc have declared Germany represented ascendency of quality over quantity. efficiency over inefficiency. mind ove- masseS-the august. minority against which the blind majorities are nearly always in wrOng.'
 l Forming the Germans "homeric ptople.' the letter declared that the United States "debauched, enslave6 and delivered by it's ruthless plutocra- cy," had been betrayed by President Wilson who accepted the ultimatum presented from Wall Street and the war profiteers.'
 ! Look about you, you who live in a land ruled with an iron hand by a ribald demagogue'' declared the let ter. Look at what were once the United States. Force reigns and every democratic institution lies in ruins ! where a blood-gutted, gold-besotted money trust, a satanic press and 8 | dictator, drunk with power. revel in orgeries of oppression.
 1 "Did the United States want war? A vote of the people, as that fearless man, Senator LaFollette, proved be- ! yond the shadow of doubt, would have been overwhelmingly against war"
