CHIME AMERICANS
WITH ESPIONAGE
* ' i
TWO GERMANS SUBJECTS ARE
NAMED IN INDICTMENT AS
CO-CONSPIRATORS.
SOME PLEM NOT GUILH
Operations Declared to Have Been
Sensational—lndicted by New
York Grand Jury.
New York.—Five American citizens
and two subjects of the German em
pire, one of tbem a woman, are named
as fellow-conspirators in two Indict
ments returned by a federal grand
Jury here. Investigators declared their
operations the most sensational under
taken by German intelligence agents
since the war began.
The Indictments allege conspiracy I
to commit treason and conspiracy to'
commit espionage. The assembling
and-transmission of lnformatltfh rela
tive to America's prosecution of the
war; the destruction of American!
piers docks and troop transports with
'fire bombs, destruction of quicksil
ver mines in this country to hamper
the manufacture of munitions ; as
sisting Germany In taking an armed
expedition in Ireland; fomentation ot
a revolt against British rule in Ire
land. raising of funds in this country
with which to finance these aera
tions, and destruction of munitions
factories and mines in Great Britain
are charged as ramifications of the in-.
trigue. I
The wording of the Indictments com
prising SO pages, intimates that the
conspiracy may be of even broader
scope. This Is suggested by a para
graph in the treason Indictment which
alleges that in July last year, one ol
the defendants sent a cablegram to
Olten, Switzerland.'
"Madame" do Vlctorlca, Rodlger,
Robinson, Fricke and Kipper pleaded
"not guilty" to both indictments be
fore Judge Augustus N. Hand and
were remanded to the Tombs to await
trial today. »
O'Leary, now wanted on three
cbarges, and Ryan have not been ap
prehended.
The treason conspiracy Indictment
charges that "Madame" de Vlctorlca
and Rodlger, "from April 6, 1917, to
the date of the presentation and filing
of this indictment, were enemies o|
the United States and spies for and
secret representatives, secret agents
and secret employes of said Imperial
Oerman and still are.
After naming Ryan, O'Leary, Rob
inson, Fricke, Kipper, Binder and
Schweitzer «a citizens owing allegi
ance to the United States, the indict
ment charges that they "and divers
other persons within and without th«
United States" whose names are un,
known, conspired to commit treason.
In that they "would knowingly and
wilfully adhere and give aid and com
fort" tp the Oerman government, and
to Madame de Vlctorlca and Rodlgei
by sending to the Oerman government
communications "connected with and
In prosecution of. the war," receiving
from Oerman officials communications
"connected with and in promotion of
the war" and by furnishing money and
credits to Rodlger and de Vlctorlca;
by concealing the presence and actlvi
ties of the two alleged from American
authorities and/by furnishing messen

NORTH CAROLINA "OVER THE TOP'
IN WAR SAYINGS STAMPS JUNE 28
President Wilson Proclaims Jons 28 National War Savings
Day.—Governor Blckett Designates Jane 23-28 War Bav
# infs Week.—Every Person Will Be Asked to Pledge.
The next big campaign that mmt be put over with the lint success that
met the recent Red Croaa and Liberty Loan drive* U th» War Savings Cam
paign. This mnat be done, President Wilson says, on or before Friday, JUM
28. He has proclaimed that day National War Havings Day and has called
oa every man, woman and child to subscribe all that In hla honest opinion he
will be able to pay during the remainder ot the year to the War Saving* Cam
»algn. . *
When Mr. Vanderlip and his associate* decided over a month ago that
•he War Saving* Campaign ihould be made to go "over the top" now, Imtead
•f taking a year and a month to do It, tbey sought a plan by which this could
be done. The State ot Nebraska furnished the plan, for this state had already
subscribed several million* dollar* over It* quota and had ralsd over BO per
cent of It* *ale*. .
Mr. Vanderlip at once aet about to know how Nebraaka did It. He called
Into conference Mr. 'Ward M. Burgeis, Stat* Director of War Saving* for
Nebraska, and Mr. Klddow, Mr. Burg***'a right-hand man. Together they
atudled the plan In the light of a national plan, and with the experience of the
two men who had worked It to a successful issue, they obviated mlatake* and
such feature* as to make It even more thorough and practlceable for other
State*. Comequently, not only North Carolina but other state* of the Union
have been aaked to adopt this plan and put over the War Savlnsg Campaign
June 11.
When 001. F. H. Fries, War Saving* Director of North Carolina, was
called to New York ceveral week* ago, with other *tate director*, to hav*
this plan put before them, he was asked if North Caffollna could do It. "Sure,"
■aid Colonel Fries, "what Nebraaka can do. North Carolina can do. Well put
It over if It take* all the bunting aad the flag* and the drum* In the whole
South to do It."
With thi* conviction and determination, Colonel Frle* came back and set
about tr perfecting the plan* to make them most suitable to North Carolina
condition*. These plans have been presented through conferences held at
convenient placee la the atate to the county chairmen aad other War Savings
Workers. Every county chairman has in his hand* a detailed copy of the
plans, and be has been advised to follow the In*traction* step by step as given
\hlm to avoid confusion and to do the work with the' greatest possible eaae
aad efficiency.
Only one important change la the national plan did Colonel Friee think
belt to make for North Carolina. That was to make the campaign last a
week Instead of a day. Therefore, the week beginning June 21 contlaulng
through June 21 has been dealgnated as North Carolina War Savings Week.
The dovernoraof North Carolina has issued a proclamation oalllng for every
citizen of the state to observe this week as War Bavlnge Week by subeeiib-
Ing at this time all that he will be able to buy during the remainder of the
year.
The week begin* on Sunday, June 23. with a state wide appeal for War
Savings la the churches and Sunday Schools. On Monday, Tuesday, Wednes
day and Thursday, a house-to-house canvass will be made In every township la
the State to secure War Savings pledges. Every taxpayer or householder will
make his pledge or give his excuse for not doing so. A record of every per
son's pledge will be taken aad kept. Oa Friday, June It, the drive will cul
minate In a War Savings rally held at every school house in the state. The
State Director has called on every person In the school district to attend this
meeting either to celebrate the occasion of the township's subscribing its
quota or if that be not the rase, to finish raising its quota. In other word*,
there is but one thing for any township to do on that day, and that Is to sub
scribe Its quota to the War Savings Campaign. Likewise, there is but ooe
thing for every parson to do. and that Is to do hft duty to tha War Havings
Campaign, which Is his utmost. The Government expects no less of svery
man, woman and child In the state on this occasion.

So hard pressed have the Oermans
