Germans viii Receive
Final Warning To-day
To Avoid the Waterfront

officials of the Department of JUS
tice here announced yesterday that all
unnaturalized Germans living below
Twenty-third Street would be sum-
moned at once to the Federal Building
and there warned, all over again, to
keep away from the water front.
Announcement that enemy aliens
would not be permitted to live or work
on the water front was made several
DAYS ago. This action of the Secret
Service men is apparently merely g
reiteration to impress the Germans,
about 500 of whom, it is said, 1--we
below Twenty-third Street.
Zone permits carried by these men
will all be rubber stamped with the
information that if they are found
near the water front they will be sent
at once to Ellis Island.
Three enemy aliens here were in.
termed yesterday. The zone permits OF
six others living on the waterfront
were revoked. One of the interned
men, Robert Fritchie, bartender, was
arrested in a saloon in Twelfth Avenue
and Thirty-fourth Street. This IS
directly opposite the Italian Steam
ship Company's piers and piers being
used by the government. Letters found
on .Fritchie showed he had recently
been to Spartanburg, at which Camp
Wadsworth is located, and Jackson
willie, Fla, without obtaining permis-
sion from the authorities.
On complaint of the captain of a
ship which arrived here yesterday
Franz Prochnow, a German Pole, who
is suspected of having been a spv in
the Argentine, was interred or Ellis

ing fellow employees in an npt)wn de-
lbs. store that IN very short
time Germany would master The whole

II. Wentworth, of Boston, secretary OF
the National Fire Protection Associa-
ton; " Z MalIs.iou. OF leH So K,
manager OF the National Board of Fire
Underwriters, and James K. Young, In
surance Commissioner Of North Caro-
lima.
Among the startling disclosures was
the declaration that thirty cotton gins
had been destroyed by fire in. the State
Of Texas within the last month aud
that in the last three months he
United States had suffered five times
as many fires in cotton ginneries as
ever before. Pebbles, nails. rocks and
pieces Of metal are being slipped into
the cotton They strike the teeth OF
the saws and cause sparks. which ig-
mite the cotton.
In Oklahoma there have been so
many of these fires that insurance
companies are cancelling policies IN
many instances.
A sudden epidemic of foodstuff fires
also has more than doubled the hlgh-
est percentage of loss in this way.
Grain elevators have gone Up IN flames,
-four mills have been burned and great
warehouses of grain and other 1000
stuffs have persisted in fires OF IN
doubted ince diary origin.
So great has become this epidemic
that the first sixteen days of October
recorded a total damage of twice that
of any former month. This is outside
of the great unknown fire loss in food
The fatal known food loss from ire
for the month OF September in the
United States was Sl,104,000; the loss
for the first sixteen days of October
was $3,4s0,000.
Carelessness is said TO make it COM
paratively easy for fires to do this
damage. This was revealed in the
statement that the great shipping cen
tres. where millions of dollars worth
Of foodstuffs are stored, are practically
unprotected against arson.
Franklin II. Wentworth asserted that
a few days after a disastrous fire on
the water front in New YORK City one
of the representatives Of his assoc!a-
ton walked unchallenged all the way
from Brooklyn Bridge to Coney Island
through miles of warehouses packed
with provisions and foodstutfs.
MIR. Wentworth urged the strong
arm of the government in showing a
greater protection against arson about
these centres. In Boston, he asserted
practically the same conditions existed,
and the same laxity was to be found
in other assembled points.
He urged the convention TO request
President Wilson TO appoint fire
prevention commission, with full power
to do anything to protect the country
against this insidious enemy.
The convention opened at 10 o'clock
Wednesday morning, with l.. T. Hus-
sey. Fire Marshal, of Iowa, the presi-
dent. and w. NJ. Campbell, Fire Mar
shall Of Louisiana, the secretary-treas-
urer in charge

Defence Society
Plans Vigilance
Corps for Cities
Urges Listing of All Resi-
dents as Loyal, Disloyal
or Doubtful

Declaring that the German propa-
oanda which had played havoc with
Russia was now being carried on with
an alarming degree of success in this
country. Richard NJ. Hurd, chairman Oh
the board of trustees Of the American
Defence Society, yesterday made pup
lie an extension of the society's pla9
for helping the government to stamp
out the enemy alien menace.
German propaganda has long been
5upplied to our troops in the national
encampments," said Mr.. Hurd yesterr-
cav. 'The shipbuilding programme. Is
being interfered with by German-in-
spired strikes. Germans are directing
the boarding of food supplies to an ex-
tent that panjcs have already been
prevalent in the reading cities. .,
"The farreaching need OF the local
vigilance corps can readily be seen
when it is known that in this country
alone there are to-day probably sew
eral million enemies representing Ger
many, Austria, Bulgaria, Turkey and
other countries sympathetic or allled
with the Prussian autocrecy. Almost
without exception these enemies are
free to 90 about as they see mt.
Opportunity to Aid Country
Tf Americans mean to stand by the
men at the front, whose lives are al
ready being sacrificed, and to stand
by their government, the opportunity
is offered in the additional service they
can give to this work Of the American
Defence Society.
"The plan Of organization undertaken
by the defence society and recon-
mended to loyal Americans provides
Cor the enrolment of a small American
vigilance corps in every city and town,
which shall classify all residents under
the following terms:
u-Loyal.
"2. -Disloyal.
"3. Doubtful.
"4.-Unknown.
Following the general classification
Of citizens, the committee is urged to
make the further designation Of the
following list:
T.-Enemy alien.
"2.-Pro- German.
-Anti-government."
In letter Of instructions to branch
organizations the executive committee
of the American Defence Society gives
the following directions:
Send List to Police
AT the very earliest possible mo-
ment. when you have made your elias
sifcation of enemy aliens and pro-Ger-
mans and those opposed to the gov
eminent in this war, send this list to
the Police Department, the local repre-
sentative of the Department of JUS
tice and to whatever representatives Of
the army and navy intelligence bureau
there are in your community.
"Too much stress cannot be put on
the Importance of having your own
vigilance corps take steps to watch
alien enemies, pro-Germaps and those
opposed TO the government. Take
every means you can to let the people
of your city know the names of our
enemies.
Unofficial announcement has already
been made at Washington that the gov
eminent is about to register the enemy
aliens in America. No doubt, many at
tempts will be made to evade the Off
cial government census. and inforna-
tion on the enemies in your commu
nifty will, therefore, be of greater
value"

To Arrest Former
Senator Pettigrew
Federal Officials Obtain War
rant Charging Violation of
Espionage Act

ABERDEEN, S. D., Nov. 14.-Robert
P. Stewart, United States District At
torney for South Dakota, announced
here to-day that warrant for the ar
rest of former United States Senator
r. f. Pettigrew, of South Dakota, on
an Indictment charging violation of the
espionage act, would be served upon
Pettigrew, who is now in Chicago.
Mr.. Stewart announced that Petit
grew would be brought to South Da-
kota to stand trial. The indictment
charges the former Senator with at
tempting to obstruct the selective draft
and with making anti-war utterances,
contrary to the provisions Of the es-
pionage law.
Although Pettigrew was indicted sew
eral weeks ago at Sioux Falls by
Federal grand jury, Mr.. Stewart ex-
planned, warrant had not been issued
for his arrest because he understood
Mr.. Pettigrew was i'll in Chicago hos
pital.
Richard Franklin Pettigrew served
in the United States Senate from 1889
to 1901 as a Republican. though he left
the party later because of it's attitude
on finance and trusts. While in the
Senate he led the opposition s=ainst
he policy of the Mckinley admins
tration in annexing the Philippine
sands.
In early October Mr. Pettigrew made
q speech in Sioux Falls, s. d.. in which
ne advanced arguments against the
war similar to those Of Senator La Fol-
cite. When informed a short time
alter that he had been indicted by the
Federal Grand Jury for alleged trea-
.onable utterances he replied:
81 will continue to express my opin-
ions about this country and the war.
This man McAdoo is trying to make
US believe that we arc in this war to
preserve our rights on the sea. But
that is not so. The only persons who
we're killed we're on ammunition ships
and had no right to be there. II had
been in the Senate | would have voted
against the war"

PRINCESS MARGARET

A marriage destined to have tire
mendous influence on the history Of
the British island was celebrated Ala
years ago to-day, when the Princess
Margaret Tudor became the bride Of
King James Nv. Of Scotland The
girl, who thus became Queen of Scots,
was then only 13 years old, and was
the eldest daughter of King Henry
VII. of England. The ceremony was
performed at the manor Of Richmond,
but the bridegroom was not among
those present, he being represented by
his proxy, Patrick, Earl of Boutwell,
After the ceremony the bride-des-
cribed by contemporary writer's as be-
ing beautiful, modest, gracious, and
out to join her husband
in Scotland. In arranging this union
it was the purpose of King Henry to
bring about union Of the two king
doms, long at enmity with each other.
While this object was not Immediately
accomplished, and the husband Of the
English princess was slain while lead
ing an invasion Of England, the mar
riage marked the first step toward the
eventual accomplishment of the union
of England and Scotland.

TODAY'S POEM
.@~~@~~~-
PALLADIUM.

Set where the upper streams OF
Simois flow
Was the Palladium, high mid rock
and wood;
And Hector was in Ilium, far below
And fought, and saw it not-but there
it stood!
It stood, and sun and moonshine rain
ed their light
On the pure columns Of it's glen-bui1,
hall,
Backward and forward rolled the
waves of fight
Round Troy-but while this stood
Troy could not fall.
So, in it's lovely moonlight, lives the
Mountains surrounded it, and sweet
virgin air;
Cold FLASHING, past it, crystal waters
roll;
We visit it by moments, ah, too rare
Men will renew the battle in the plain
To-morrow;-red with blood will
xanthus be;
Hector and Ajax will be there again,
Helen will come upon the wall to see.
Then shall we rust in shade, or shine
in strife,
And fiuctuate twist blind hopes and
blind despairs,
And fancy that we put forth all our
life,
And never know how with the soul it
fares
!
Still doth the soul, from its lone fast
ness high,
Upon our life a ruling effluence send !;
And when it fails, fight as we will, we
die,
And while it lasts, we cannot wholly
end.

UNTYING THE MARRIAGE KNOT.

"A1so, what stay is there in human
state?
Or who can shun inevitable fate?
The doom was written, decree was
past,
Ere the foundations of the world were
cast"
There never yet was a couple stand
ing before the altar who did not firmly
believe their love dream was to last
as long as they lived. That was be-
cause each loved and trusted the other.
They usually begin married life hap
PLY. Where two are wisely mated,
love endures It is where two are
matched, but not mated, that they
discover tiny rust spots upon the gold
of their welded contentment. Mar
riage has been an eye-opener. Each
tsands before the other with faults
clearly revealed. Infatuation dies out
and WEAKNESS of the yoke which binds
them sets in.
When this stage has been reached,
the thought in both hearts is that the
marriage was a mistake. One be-
comes neglectful of the other The re-
suit is eager desire in both hearts
to have the marital knot united at
whatever cost.
+ When they have deliberately reached
this decision, living together seems
impossible Wife goes back to her
parents. Husband takes up his old
quarters at the club. They are sure
to urge the untying Of the knot. In
an unguarded moment the husband
gives the wife her opportunity. The
court Of law separates those whom
the minister of God bound together.
The fair Divorces, instead Of wearing
their lives out weeping, usually be-
come more brilliant than ever. The
plunge into the whirlpool Of gaiety.
Ere the world can fairly catch its
breath, they rewed.
Time was when divorced woman
was coldly looked upon by men in
general. But times and reasonings
have changed. Take a single woman
of five and thirty and a fair divorcee
of the same age; the latter usually
proves more attractive to marriage
able men Of a certain kind-free
lances.
There are men who would be first
in the hearts Of the women they love
or nothing. Every man has his own
ideas regarding this. I talked this
subject over with a well known judge.
His opinion was short and decisive.
He said: Where two have ceased to
love and their companionship has be-
come irksome, the one to the other,
where bitterness, even hatred, has
edged out good feeling. it is. better to
prys off the shackles and set them free,
if both earnestly desire it, This may
