TRADING WITH THE ENEMY.
Act Will Be Strictly Enforced at Noga-
 les by Government Authorities.

The Trading with the Enemy Act, which became effective Mo- vember 6. 1917. which forbids any form of business or conner cial communication or inter course with alien enemies, allies of enemies or their agents is now being enforced by the Unit ed States and is of particular im- portancetto those living and do Ing business on the border and in Mexico, says Wednesday, Herald.
 Section 8 of The Trading with the Enemy Act states:
 That it shall be unlawful
 (a) for any person in .tfae Unit ed States, except with the license of the President, granted to such a person, or to the enemy or ally of enemy, as provided in this act, to trade or attempt to trade, either directly Or indirect ly, with, to, or from, or for, or on account of, or on behalfsof, :, or for the benefit of, any other person, with knowledge or re- asonable cause to believe that such other person in an enemy or ally of enemy, or is conduct ing or taking part in such trade, directly or indirectly, for or on account of, or on behalf of, or for the benefit of, an enemy or ally of enemy.
 The words no trade" are also defined in the act as follows:
 (a) Pay, satisfy, compromise, or give security for the payment or satisfaction of any debt or obligation.
 (b) Draw, accept, pay, present for acceptance or payment, or indorse any negotiable instru- ment or chose in action.
 (c) Enter into carry on, com Plete or perform any contract, agreement or obligation.
 (d) Buy or sell, loan or extend credit, trade in deal with, ex- change transmit, transfer, as- sign, or otherwise dispose of, or receive any form of property.
 Gel To have any form of busi- ness or commercial communica- tion or intercourse with.''
 The maximum penalty for vio-
 
 Trading with the Enemy Act is a fine of $10,OOO or ten years inn priSonment or both.
 This new act applies to indivi- duals and firms alike; common carries also come under it's pro- visions, as do brokers, buyers and agents for any alien firm or ally of enemy in Mexico or their agents, according to the inter pretation of the act by govern ment officials.
 That enemy firms in Mexico will attempt to avoid the act by securing agents or "cloaks" to buy or sell merchandise and carry on business in restricted manner has already been antici pated by the government and provision made that such agents, whether alien or American, will be subject to the same penalty for violations.
