They are forbidden to ny In bal

The proclamation has been ex-
pected for some time. as the war.
navy and state departments have
been working out plan that would,
to a considerable measure Il Is hop
ed. thwart the efforts Of German
agents in this country from inter-
fering with the war-necessary in

United States Is simply following In
the path Of her allies who have
found It necessary to make even
more drastic regulations to curb the
activities OF Teutons within their
borders. Heretofore the United
States had regulated her allen enc
mics only as respects armories. mu-
milton plants and army posts. To-
days action extends the protective

by the capture OF Jana General
Allenby has made more certain the
ultimate occupation OF Jerusalem
and all this part OF Palestine. Jana
is the port OF Jerusalem. from which
Il is distant 30 miles northwest. A
railroad winds through the coastal
hills TO Jerusalem from Jana for 81
miles. and, II ls probable that the
British forces will pursue their way
to Jerusalem via this.
Occupation of Jana will bring an
additional port OF entry under Brit
ish control and serve greatly in the
import OF supplies to the army. II
will make unnecessary. In n great
measure. the long transport Of sup
plies by land from Egypt, as in the
past.
Incidentally with the capture OF
Jana. tho British have wiped out
two German colonies established
near this port about 20 years ago

a means OF extending German In
