PUNISHING RELATIVES

OF EXILES

FIVE SENT TO PRISON' CAMP. (L'.NITF.D PULBS ASSOCIATION- B7 ELECTRIC 'j£LECrßArn—corrniGsr.; (Received July 16, 9.30 p.m.) BERLIN, July 15. Inaugurating a new method of "defending Nazi Germany against attacks from enemies abroad,'' the police arrested five relatives of Herr Schneidemann, the exiled socialist and former Chancellor. They were sent to a concentration camp as a warning to "slanderers." Herr Schniedemann is accused of trying to start a new atrocity campaign by articles published in America. The Cabinet has passed laws directed against Herr Schniedemann and other exiles decreeing that enemies of the State living abroad may forfeit their property and also lose their German citizenship if they refuse to return to Germany when summoned. Naturalised Germans may have their nationality revoked if it is deemed advisable. The formation of new parties is treason. Hand-shaking is now banned, in official orders prescribing the Nazi salute, which is given by raising the right arm, for all.
