2-Definition of Zones
"The restrictions relating TO the
water front are defined in subdivision
l3 of the Presidents proclamation, as
follows:
"l3 An alien enemy shall not ap,
preach or be found within one hundred
yards of any canal; nor within one
hundred wards of an wharf. pier or
dock used directly by or by means o.
lighters by any vessel. or vessels oil
over five hundred 5000 tons gross en-
gagged in foreign or domestic trade
other than fishing; nor within one hun
dred yards oil any warehouse, shed'
elevator. railaroad terminal or other
terminal, storage or transfer 1aclAlty
adjacent TO or operated IN connectoh
with any such wharf, pier or dock;
and wherever the distance between any
two of such whaves, piers or docks
measured along the shore line connect
ing them. is less than eight hundred
and eighty yards, an alien enemy shall
not approach or be found within one
hundred yards Of such shore line.
3--Laying Out of Zones
"The first thing to do is TO lay out
the boundary lines of the zones under
the above Regulation 13 of the Presi-
Dental proclamation. Obtain from the
United States Attorney of the district
the list of piers. docks. wharves and
other facilities which come within the
scope Of the Presidential regulations,
and then lay out the. boundaries OF the
zones, preferably BY drawing some
kind of a visible line or mark on the
ground. At the points where streets
or other means of access cross the zone
boundary line place placards announc-
ing that alien enemies are forbidden
to 90 beyond that point in the dlrec-
tion of the area.
ain case OF railroads and streetcar
lines and streets or other ways pass
ing within or through the prescribed
zone limits, no alien enemy Will be
permitted aboard the cars of such
roads, even on continuous passage, or
on or along said streets or ways within
the prohibited area, without mourning
when detected penalty therefor, except
when on his way TO board FERRY, ana
then only on such ears or streets lesd-
ing directly TO such ferry.
i-Restricting Access
"All alien enemies must be prevent
ed from entering the prohibited water
front areas. All permits previously
granted, allowing alien enemies access
TO these waterfront zones, have been
revoked by the new proclamation, ana
under no circumstances whatever VIII
any alien enemies be permitted to pass
the waterfront zone line. The penalty
for intrudlng upon restricted zones is
internment for part or the whole pc
Rod of the war.
5-Nature Of the Patrol
"The number of men stationed on
guard should be such as will effective
ly carry out the said object.
"The patrol sentinel should station
himself att such point along the boun-
Diary line sr within the prohibited area
as will enable him best to control the
access TO the said piers, wharves, docks
and other waterfront facilities. Ii is
important, however, that the patrolling
be effective, and yet be carried on IN
such manner as will interfere as lit
tie as possible with the free movement
Of traffic TO and from the -whsryes.
piers, docks. etc. and with the free OPP
Grafton Of the wharves and other ship
ping facilities, for the speedy operation
of the shipment of men and materials
to Europe is OF the utmost importance,
and the administration OF the alien en-
envy proclamation should be carried on
so as TO interfere as little as possible
with the movement Of shipping. The
objects 10 be attained are: First. the
effective administration of the alien en-
envy regulation, and, second, the speedy
and free movement of shipping.
"You will observe that under the
Presidents proclamation alien enemies
still have the right TO travel on the
regular ferries. Care should, there
fore, be exercised not to interfere with
a reasonable access 10 ferry landings
by alien enemies.
"The operators OF the docks, wharves
and the other facilities named in the
Presidential regulations have been Of
iicislly notified by the United States
marshal that each of them snail APP
point inspectors whose function it will
be to stand at the entrances which are
being used and assist the guard in
identifying the persons who have the
right Of access. The board should,
therefore, Immediately confer with the
inspectors and should admit only those
persons TO the pier, wharf, etc, within
his zone who are identified by the in
spector as entitled to access.
This system of identification will re-
late both TO the employees and work
men Of the whsrves, docks and the
other waterfront facilities and to the
drivers, truckmen and those engaged
in bringing shipments TO the wharves,
docks and other waterfront facilities.
"This system Of identification by the
inspectors is TO be put into immediate
effect and TO be kept in operation dur
ing the whole period Of the war. 1t
is not expected, however, to accom-
plish a complete protection Of shipping,
and the Department Of Justice is en-
gagged in planning a system of passes
TO supplement the system Of identified
