 The main application of these pro- visions. the official statement says, twill be to German or ally of Ger maIty concerns which are doing bus mess in the United States through branch houses or agents, such as in surance or reinsurance companies. Such an enemy or tally or enemy" may continue to do business within the United States until such appIica- tions are acted upon.
 The license provisions of the act do not apply to Germans Austrians. Turks or Bulgarians doing business in the United States and having no bus mess connections with interests actu- ally operating in Germany or her al- lied countries. Thus thousands of alien enemies having small business esta blishments in the United States need not apply for license to continue operation unless they have dealings with companies having connections in enemy or ally of-enemy lands. The act authorizes the president to declare all these alien enemies subject to H- cense regulations, but he has not ex- tended the provisions to these persons by his order.

FIRE IN A BRITISH
 MUNITIONS STEAMSHIP.
She Was Towed Back to an Atlantic
 Port-Fire Still Burninq

An Atlantic Port, Oct! IA large British steamer loaded with admiralty stores. principally munitions and 5000 barrels of oil in bulk. was lowed back into port tonight with Ire in her en- zine room compartments under con- trol after 24hour battle to keep the ship from exploding.
 The fire broke out yesterday even ing when the ship was 30 miles out of this port and off a government sta ton. Blue flames were seen coming g from the engine room compartments. In these were stored the oil in every available reserve water tank.
 Captain ordered the life boats swung out and wireless calls for help brought several government re- sponses and two tugs. The crew in a but was ordered back by the naval gunners who were called into service.
 Captain told them to be real Britons and called on his fremen to. go below and draw the fires They made their way through ths snses which were pouring off the burning oil and with the aid of the ships pumps which flooded the engine room the ships fires were soon out. Meantime the pilot had put the ship into creek, where the winds were not so dangerous.
 Fire was still burning/i in several of the tanks tonight but it was said to be well under control and away from other combustibles. The cargo is val ued at over s2.Oo0,0OO and only the quick action of the pumps is thought to have prevented an explosion. The ship is practically new

With the armies in Flanders inac tiva, except for bombardments. inter- est centers in the operations of the Germans in the island of Oesel, sit uated at the mouth of the Gulf of Riga and the key to the entrance of the Gulf of Finland.
 At last accounts the Germans, who landed under the cover of a great ar ray of naval craft, were steadily pressing back the Russians toward the southeastern part of the island and also putting ashore other forces with the huge armada guarding them against assault by Russian warships.
 The entire northern and eastern sections of the island were in Ger man hands and the invaders were only short distance from Arensburg on the southern shore, which was in flames. Cerel, which lies on the Zvorb peninsula, the southernmost extremity of the island, also was on fire. Whether the conf1agrations were caused by the German guns or wneth- CT they were started by the Russians is not known.
 Although the German conmunica- tion says the Germans suffered no losses during the landing on Oesel Is- land, the Petrograd war office says that in attempting to cover the land ing of the enemy on Dago Island, north of Oesel. four German torpedo boats are reported to have been sunk
