The 10 volunteers who went from

the nastiest kind OF i'll treatment at
The U. S. army headquarters in Rut-

members of the party.
Some of them were refused the

he could 'lay down and roll"
When the boys were at the Rut-
land recruiting station they laid
down the Red Cross packages given
them by the women before they
started and several OF the packages
were stolen Some Of the. other
packages were broken open and the
weater taken out.
One Of the boys whose package
was stolen and who WAS himself re.

the recruiting Office and brought 1t

The worst mistreatment of all is

presldent Wilson's Proclamation
States Regulations Under Which
Austrians can Have Privileges.

X Washington, Dec. 13.--Austro-Hun-
garlan subjects in the United States,
most Of the 100000 or more OF
whom are laborers and are loyal to
the allied war cause, will suffer few
restrictions as result of war be
tween the lands of their birth and
adoption.
In a proclamation yesterday de
claring state of war with Austria
Hungary, in accordance with the act
of Congress, President Wilson speci-
fed that unnaturalized Austro Hun
garians, unlike the Germans in this
country, should be free to live and
travel anywhere except that they
may not enter or leave the United
States without permission. and those
suspected of enemy activity may be
interned. They need not register
with police or post-office officials, as
Germans will be required to do soon
and are not barred from the 100-yard
zone about piers, docks and ware
houses closed to Germans, and are
not required to leave the District OF
Columbia

Poles, Servians, Czechs. Slovacs and
OTTER immigrants from the Austro
Hungarian empire, generally is not
with the mother country in the war
and they have not been guilty of the

ticed under the German war system
Secondly. such a large proportion OF
Iaborers in munition and steel plants
and coal mines consists OF Austrian
subjects that it was found virtually
impossible to administer against
them the rigid regulations imposed
on the Germans who are not half SO
numerous and are more individuals

AS an indication of the presidents
difference in feeling toward subjects
OF the dual monarchy it was pointed
out that nowhere in the proclama
tion did he use the phrase "alien
enemies" as was done in previous
proclamations referring to Germans
Repeatedly he referred only to ma
tives, citizens, denizens or subjects
of Austria-Hungary.
