Congress Opposed to
Charter for Germans
Senator King Says Hyphenated

WASHINGTON, June 2s.-The Ger
man-American League, the revived
form of the German American ALI
ance, whose charter was revoked last
year, is feeling out the attitude of
Congress on possible softening Of the
terms of peace toward Germany and
resumption of pre-war activities Of the
alliance, it was learned to-day.
Letters or petitions have reached
members Of Congress, it was stated
put the natural unwillingness of the
league to come out in the open Is
withholding any active campaign.
II the league asks for charter
Ike the one revoked, Congress will re-
Of Utah.
1T is evident that move is on
spirit by emphasizing German kultur
and maintaining a Separate political
association like that before the war"
ne SAID. THE organization viii prcb
SDly De social body, because the day
mas gone by when Congress will over
again grant q national charter for q
racial political organization, whether
1T be of Germans, Irish or anvthinr
else. e
IF the new alliance wants a charter.
II Will have to go to the various states.
There could be no legal objection, Of
course, to the revival Of the organiza-
tlon IN social form unless it violated
the law.
Il have no apprehensions concerning
Its revival. 1t was dangerous before
principally around the top. If we
wish to prevent a repetition of the
situation caused by the German-Amer-
leans, we must provide means to more
thoroughly Americanize our foreign
population"
The Bureau of Investigation of the
Department of Justice professed to
know nothing about the new German
lzed organizatio It was said at the
department that agents of the Attor-
ney General at Chicago had cognizunce
of the activities of the new organiza-
tlon, and if violations of present laws
were attempted action would be initi-
ated there.
When the organization was first
formed. report was made to the
military intelligence division of the
War Department. This report was
made solely for the information of
the military authorities and did not
suggest reference to the Department
OF Justice. lnasmuch as the military
intelligence division has abandoned all
domestic operations, further surveil-
lance Of the organization has been
abandoned.

CHICAGO, June 2s.-The president
Of the German American Citizens
League, whose avowed purposes show
that its aim is to be in the future
what the German-Amercan Alliance
was until Congress repealed it's char
ter, is Ferdinand Walther. For many
years Mr.. Walther was one Of the lead
ing Chicago members of the defunct
alliance and for five or six years the
president Of the Chicago branch.
The trend of Mr.. Walther's thought
on questions connected with the war is
indicated by the fact that in 1915 he
and DR.. Herman Gerhard, secretary of
the new league, sent to the delegates
to the Republican. National Convention
notes protesting against the nomina-
ton for President of either Theodore
Roosevelt or Elihu Root. This they did
as president and secretary, respective
ly, of the Chicago branch of the Ger
man-American Alliance. In this con-
nection it is an interesting fact that
both Of these gentlemen are strongly
in favor Of the new leagues engaging
IN political activities in systematic
manner and on a large scale.

Radical Urges Workers
To Seize ALI Factories
Ella Reeves Bloor Declares That
Time for Protest Has Passed
for the Laboring Classes

Seizure Of the shops and railroads
Of the country through organization
as the only way of bettering the con-
dition Of the laborers was urged yes
terday by Ella Reeves Bloor, who
spoke at a meeting held to protest
against the imprisonment of Kate
Richards O'Hare and other radicals, at
10th Street and Fifth Avenue.
"The time for protest has gone by,''
said Mother" Bloor, as she is called
in Socialist circles. "It is time to or
ganize to- prevent outrages committed
every day. During .the war we learned
of one big union of the masters, but
we haven't got one big union of the
workers yet"
Elizabeth Gurley Flynn, who followed
Mother" Bloor, criticised the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor for failing to
pass resolution asking for the am
nesty Of political prisoners.

with power to vote in all party matters,

Is said, intend to take advantage of this
and pack the party with real bomb

An Evening at Home
With MIR. WaIther

An evening spent with Mr.. Walther
at his home here proved to be very in
tercsting. He lives northwest of Lin
Ycln Park, in an unpretentious neigh
borhood. His house is fairly large and
il is homelike and comfortable in ap-
rearance. The premises are we'll kept
ana attractive. Mr.. Walther, who is
contractor, s,siXty7niue. He is typical
o. his kind and class. His manner of
meeting men is quiet, simple and pleas
ant.
When l asked Mr.. Walther to de-
fine the purpose of the German-Amer-
lean Citizens League he went to a
desk, took out copy of the leagues
constitution and handed it to me, ex-
planning it briefly. In the first article
OF this series the chief sections of this
constitution were published in trans
lation. 1t is sufficient to state here
that the purposes declared are very
similar to those which the German
American Alliance proclaimed and that
the leagues methods appear to be
modelled upon those which the de-
funct alliance pursued. The most i'm
rortant point of difference is that the
new movement will be openly politi-
cal, while the alliance, because of the
conditions of its Federal charter, car
1ied on its political activities surrepti-
tiously. Membership in the league is
limited to citizens, actual or prospec-
tive, Of German extraction.
New-York tribune., 1919-06-29
Why the League Is
Confined to Germans

why is the league composed ex-
ciusively to citizens Of German or
igin?"
Because" replied Mr.. Walther, I'VE
find it easier to get them together if
they know the German language will
be spoken. and, if we use the German
language, it is easier to explain to
them the Constitution and institutions
of the United States. 1t helps very

Men who have seen army service
