WHAT ENEMY PROPERTY" IS.

Enemy property, which the United States
desires to take into its custody for the period of
the war, does not include the bank accounts of
Germans or Austrians resident here, or person
al property belonging to them. 1t was clearly
stated in the proclamation putting in force the
provisions of the trading with the enemy act,
that subjects of the German kaiser or allies liv-
ing and doing business entirely within this
country were not considered as ''enemies or al
lies of the enemy for the purpose Of the law,
Ialthough under international law and for other
purposes they, in fact, occupied that status.
This, A. Mitchell Palmer, the enemy property
custodian, appointed under the act emphasizes
for the reinsurance of Germans, Austrians,
Hungarians and others who have been alarmed
and in some cities have been withdrawing their
deposits from banks in the fear that the govern
ment is going to confiscate their savings. Mr..
Palmer says:

1t is less than a score of years
since the first heavier-than-air ma
chine successfully carried a passen
ger into the air. 1t is less than
fifteen years since the art of con
trolling such craft was impaired

aircraft have been standardized and
factories turn them out with the ease
that motor car builders produce their
products.

Des Moines Register: The weather

Burlington Hawk-Eye A few years
ago the primary election, as substi-
tute for nominating conventions, was
supposed by the reformers, to put
the people in control and head off the
BOSSES" In the New York municipal
primaries about one-tenth Of the reg
istered republicans went to the prl-
mary. No system OF nomination in
sures perfection without the personal
| factor.
| Cedar Rapids Gazette: Those who
peddle outrageous lies touching the
rectitude of the work of the Red Cross
are most to be despised and should be
among the first to feel the weight and
torture of popular displeasure. Most
atrocious lies concerning alleged
wrongful disposal of Red Cross ma
terial and Of supplies destined for the
| soldiers have crept into circulation
| from the Shiny tongues of gossips
either insane or criminally inclined.
To attack the Red Cross is as much an
evil as to attack the army To at
tack the women who donate their
| time gratuitously to this noble work
is as shameful as to insult the uni
form. The women of the Red Cross
in fact deserve protection first. The
men in uniform are armed and can
protect themselves.

Some Misrepresentation seems to exist relative
to the status under the trading with the enemy
of citizens subjects of Germany and its allies
resident within this country Such persons are
not included within the term enemy or ally of
enemy" as employed in the act. The moneys
deposit in banks in the country belonging to such
persons are not liable to seizure by the govern
ment, and will not therefore, be taken into the
possession of the alien property custodian.

Perhaps if the purpose Of the law is clearly
understood, there will be better understand
ing of it's effect. The United States desires to
prevent the German government, with which it
is at war, from using for its own sustenance or
for the injury of the United States, property
owned by persons or corporations subject to it's
present control. That is the reason even
American citizens who are resident in Germany,
and countries allied with Germany, are held to
be 'enemy or ally of enemy" Persons
and corporations in Germany and the countries
allied with Germany, have valuable prop
erty here, tangible and intangible. There
are, for instance, certain German patents, held
here by American representatives Of certain
German houses, and these will be taken over,
and the processes to which they apply will be
utilized by the government, compensation be-
ing allotted to the owners for such use when the
war is over.
There is no occasion for alarm among alien
subjects living here who may have put their
savings in banks The United States will not
touch their property. Such property does not
help the enemy, and it is against the enemy
this law is directed.

were swollen and l had puffy
sacs under my eyes. l consulted
four different doctors, but their
treatment did me no good. / had
spent a Lot Of money on other
medicines, but didn't know
whether was being helped or
not. Finally l started taking
Doan's Kidney Pills and from
the first, they helped me, benefit
ing me SO much that i was up

PLANS FOR DOLLAR
EXCHANGE IN FAR EAST

| WASHINGTON, Jan. 5.-Informa'
ton received at the Department OF
| Commerce to the effect that Japan is
conducting a campaign TO extend her
financial influence throughout the Far
East and capture the trade of that part
of the world has stimulated American
| bankers TO take steps to combat that
policy.
The Federal Reserve Bank of San
Francisco is understood to have under
consideration plans for the establish.
ment of extended financial connections
i'm the Orient which will be used as
the opening wedge TO new American
move for further trade recognition be-
yond the Pacific. The Philippine Ma.
| tiOnal Bank at Manila and banking in
situations at Hongkong, Yokohama,
Melbourne and Sidney will be asked to
act as correspondents of the San Fran
cisco Federal Reserve Bank and prob.
ably of other American financial insti-
tutions, II is understood. The San
Francisco Bank and the Federal Re.
serve Board at Washington have been
approached by Australian financial of.
ficials with proposition for closer
financial relations and it is expected
that the matter will be followed by
the American banking officials.
The big result of such banking ex-
tension would in all probability be the
substitution Of American dollar ex.
change for present exchange mediums
throughout the Orient. This is what
the American bankers desire and a
policy looking toward the undermining
OF the japanese campaign to grab
Oriental trade will be pursued.
