FATHER AND SON
BEHIND RECENT
SECRET ORDER
Knights of the Fiery Cross"
Was to Have Been Name of
the Organization
ALONG THE LINES OF
THE KU KLUX KHAN
PURPOSE of Organization Was 10
. "Wage War On Jews and
Other Undesirables''

BERLIN, Sept. 10. Two
Americans, father and son, alleged
to be behind the recent organization
here of knights of the Fiery
Cross"-patterned after the Ku
Klux Klan-have been arrested by
the German police in Silesia.
They are Otto Strohschein, 54,
and Gotthard Strohschein, 80, both
German born, but now American
citizens and recently residents of
Chicago. A third American, Don
Burton Gray, is said to have left
Germany three weeks ago.
Three Americans, two of them
described by the police as German
Americans, and the third as a 100
per center, are the leaders in a
movement uncovered here to espab-
fish in Germany an order to be
known as the knights of the Fiery
Cross along lines of the Ku Elux
Khan in the United States.
Thirty or forty arrests in connec-
ton with the discovery of the organ
ization have been made and the
police say more are to follow. One
thousand Germans are participating
with the American leaders, whose
names the police refuse to disclose.
The purpose of the organization
is to unite, irrespective of parties.
all men determined ''to fight foj'
the liberation of the fatherland, ]"
and "by waging war on Jews, to
free the country of undesirables."
The ceremonies of the Ku klux
Khan are said to have been copied
The insignia of the German organ
ization is a bloody cross, the anti
semitic swastika and the black, red
and white flag of imperial Germans
Learning of the existence of the
order, which is forbidden under the
law covering conspiracy, the police
searched number of houses of per-
sons implicated and found large
quantities of material pertaining to
the organizations. The members
are said to have been created large
ly from the "front bann," and the
"Wilkingbund," which are motor
ious fascist groups N Germay.
The police say the members of the
new order must swear implicit ODE
dience and declare their readiness
to accept death by torture in case
they prove traitors to the society.
At the American embassy today
it was stated that the matter had
not been brought officially to the
attention of the American diploma
ic representatives in Germany.

|PrOfe S SiOnal
Low er Mauled
By Mr.. Husband

LONDON, Sept. 1O.-A story of
disappointed love and its retribution
is being told here.
A bankers daughter, beautiful
and talented, became infatuated
with a man whom her parents did
not wish her to marry.
So they sought out a professional
love-maker and for a stipulated sum
hired him to pay his attentions to
the daughter for the purpose of
breaking up her case with the other
man.
1t was an easy task, In a fort
night the Objectionable lover was
driven out Of the field.
But the girl, not knowing the
trick of her parents, had fallen des-
perately in love with the new man.
When he quit coming to see her shs
became very i'll. Her parents fear
she will not recover.
The professional got his, how
eyer. Soon afterward a married
woman, wishing to make her hus-
band more attentive, hired him to
pay her attention.
The husband met them on tha
street and so mauled up the pro.
fessional that he was taken to a hos.
pital for repairs.

At WALNUT ST. THEATRE

The sensational love drama "Aloma
Of the South Seas" now in it's fourth
week at the Walnut Street Theatre,
Philadelphia, Is causing more discus
sion than any other presentation of
feted upon the stage in the past
twenty years. John B. Hymer and
Leroy Clemens, the authors created
a drama with realistic incidents the
nature Of which makes one wonder if
such conditions exist anywhere on
oarth, but as similar scenes are des-
eiibed in the novels of Somerset
.Haugham, Frederic O'Brien and Jack
London, it is reasonable to assume
that there is some foundation in fact
for such play. The story deals
with the everlasting problem of the
races, telling the adventures of Ben
Holden a white man who goes into
exile on South Sea Island to forget
an uurequitted love, becomes a vic
tim of drink and the depressing
tropical climate. He is on the verge
of a physical and mental breakdown
when a friend takes hand, places
