FIERY CROSS KNIGHTS.
SOCIETY IN GERMANY FORMED TO KILL FOREIGNERS.
BERLIN, Sept. 30— Six months ago three Americans, a father and son, both clergymen named Strohschein, a, young American student named Grey, formed a society called the “Knights of the Fiery Cross,” whoso object was the extermination of all foreigners. From documents found by the police it appears that there are already more than 2,0C0 members all over Germany. The police made their first discovery while searching for the 19-years-old son of an official who disappeared some weeks ago and has not-since been heard of. Whether any foreigners have already been killed is not yet known. Many of the members were foundl armed with pistols, revolvers, life-preservers, and hand-to-hand weapons. Many arrests have been made, and it is announced that drastic action will be taken to put a stop to such nonsense.
