AMERICANS STILL REPORT AS ALIENS
 IN GREAT BRITAIN

LONDON, June 16.-Americans who arrived here since the early part of 1916 must still report their move lents to the authorities just as all other aliens. whether allies or neutrals are required to do. and many Ameri- cans in London who expected that the entrance of the United States in the war would automatically relieve them of this obligation, were very surprised and disappointed when they learned different.
 There is a considerable amount of red tape involved in the police regula- tions and, no sooner had the United States thrown in it's lot on the side of the entente allies than many Am ericans got the impression that they would be relieved of this wartime ne- cessity. When they found out that their status in this respect remained unchanged many of them appealed to
 he United States embassy and con- sulate for further information. They were told that there was no indicat- ion of any change.

GERMANY WOULD BUY
 ISLAND OF VENEZUELA
Wants to Acquire Submarine Base. Scheme Frustrated
 By l.. s. Government.

WASHINGTON. June 16.-Secret attempts by Germany to acquire na- val base upon this side Of the Allan tie, evidently for the purpose Of at tacking the United States, have been discovered and will. of course be frus- trated.
 The State Department has informa- ton that negotiations have been un- der way. carried on by German citi- zens acting for the German govern ment. for the purchase of Magarita Is- land. of the north coast of Venezuela.
 The attention of the Venezuela gov ernment has been called to the fact that the transfer of this island would be a violation of the Monroe doctrine. This il is understood, is as far as the Government Of the United States has found it necessary to go up to the present time. l. can be said. however that were Venezuela to ignore the mild protest made by the United States drastic action would be taken.
 Germany, it is safe to assume, will not be permitted to establish any kind Of base on this side of the Atlantic with the knowledge of the United States.

EAGLE LODGE IN THE LEAD AS
 ALWAYS
Ketchikan May Well Be Proud of the Noble
 Organization

At the regular meeting last evening the Ketchikan Aerie F. o. E. proved again their patriotism for their coun- try and devotion to their fellow mem- bers. A resolution was introduced, discussed and immediately adopted, whereby the order, by the duly auth orized officers subscribed $500 for the liberty loan. A check for the full ann ount was issued accordingly.
 This alone constitutes a splendid act, but that was not all, as the order included in the following; viz: Every o7an who may be called upon or vol nnteer to serve the country during this war, their family and dependents shall be taken care of by the lodge. Not only that, but their dues shall be paid and kept up by the lodge. And thus the order goes on record as the leading lodge of the city if not of the entire territory so far as the report ar has been able to learn. At least in this display of generosity that may well be copied. But as citizen re- "oarked this morning: "Is not Ketch-
 tan the First City in Alaska?" The answer was: 'It sure is."
