English became the favorite tongue
in Hoboken yesterday. Last night along
River Street, which gave up two hum
bred enemy aliens in the roundup by
United States soldiers Monday night
the few Germans who ventured forth
insisted upon speaking in English, even
though it was with difficulty.
Federal Attorney Charles F. Lyneh's
sudden activity against the citizens OF
Germany had caused stampede for
permits to enter the military zone. The
fear of intenment was so great that
many of the shops and factories in the
barred district were left short-harded
by the failure Of those who had
neglected 70 secure permits 70 report
for work.
Saloons Closed Tight
Saloons ordered closed three weeks
ago were running wide open with a
stock of near-beer until the activity OF
the soldiers Monday night. Last night
there was not one open in the River
Street section.
Not word of explanation came from
Mr.. Lynch or his assistants. The Mill
tary police authorities, who have been
in Hoboken for nearly month, appar-
emily were taken unawares by the mid.
The municipal authorities had no init
nation of the Federal Attorneys plans.
Until Monday night no one in Ho-
boken took the "barred zone order Sc
riously, nor did the saloonkeepers feel
called upon 20 eliminate the rendezvous
for enemy aliens by closing up their
stores in obeyance Of Federal orders.
How lightly the order to secure per.
mits TO enter the barred zones was
treated was evidenced In q dozen cases
at Police Headquarters yesterday. A
typical case was that OF Anton Gut

Aliens of Nations
Allied With Kaiser
To Come Under Ban

WASHINGTON, Nov. 20.--Congress
will be asked by the Administration to
pass a law restricting the movements in
the United States of aliens from coun-
tries allied to Germany. This law will
be modelled upon those sections Of the
trading with the enemy act which for
bid American citizens from entering
into commercial relations with citizens
Of nations allied to Germany. Under
this law, when It IL passed, IL Is in
tended to apply the same restrictions
to citizens of Austria, Bulgaria and
Turkey that have just been put into eff
feet against citizens Of Germany, and
bar at least males from the District Of
Columbis and from certain zones
throughout the country.
This purpose on the part Of the De-
partment Of Justice 70 draw up such
law as this and ask Congress to pass
II seems 10 dispose of all reports that
this country IS about TO declare war
upon Austria, Bulgaria and Turkey.
Those reports have been printed from
time to time. especially since the Ital-
an catastrophe, but IL has never been
possible to get any. countensncing Of
them in official quarters. They seem to
have sprung rather from the desire Of
the Allies to see ia take that step than
from any intention on the part Of this
government.
II war were declared upon Germany's
partners il would not be necessary TO
pass a law for the restriction OF per-
sons hailing from Austria. Turkey and
Bulgaria. By the very fact of declar-
ing war they would become enemy
aliens, to be treated like German aliens.
And a declaration of war would be the
quickest way Of making their restric-
ton possible.
Such declaration would indeed have
TO wait upon Congress, but IL would be
easier to get through Congress than a
law for restricting aliens. The law
makers will take their time over such
an act, They would put through dec
lsration Of war in two or three days.

Eventually they came to Topeka where

Her husband, she says, has been

MAYOR ON TRIAL
Chicago's Executive Attracts Big At
tention Today.

Chicago, Sept. AT the city coun-
Gil meeting today much interest was
displayed in the mayor custer pro-
ceedingS.
The Battle Begins.
Many of the police, it was said dis
eliminated as to letting spectators into
the galleries. This section gave the
mayor a full minutes applause when
he entered the council chamber.
Forty aldermen were present. Alder
man Toman as soon as preliminary
routine was over asked that the Tou-
den resolution which he prepared be
adopted. This was the signal for
battle.
Aldermen Anderson. Rodriguez and
Michaelson objected. Rodriguez is a
Socialist; Michaelson the Thompson
floor leader
What right" asked Rodriguez,
did the governor have to issue a
proclamation and glorify himself in
violation of the constitution of the
United States? That is the question
here. You can be driven by the
press, but 1 refuse to be. If the press
was sincere in denouncing the peace
council it would not have printed the
pope's proposals.
Chicago Doesn't Want War.
Il attended the peace meeting my
self 1t was a quiet orderly affair.
We have a right to disagree with our
country if we please. The people of
Chicago don't want war"
Alderman Toman declared that the
kaiser encouraged his soldiers with
news such as has emanated from Chi
cago. There are seventy members of
the council and a vote of Sc is nee
essary to suspend the rules. The roll
call developed that eight more had
drifted in, making those present forty
eight, but not enough to carry sus-
PENSION of the rules.
Alderman Toman moved that the
council sit as committee of the whole
to consider the resolution. The Thomp-
son forces countered with a motion
that the resolution be referred to the
committee on schools. The attitude
of the council was indicated by voting
down the administration motion SO to
3, one not voting.
1t developed that the gallery was
not consecrated to the mayor. There
was hearty applause when Alderman
Toman invited Michaelson to 60 to
Germany and join the kaiser.
