Within the gates Of the City of Nee
Britain today, there are listed, accords
ing to records in the United Sta&
marshaPs office in Hartford, Is 0er1
man subjects who are enemy aliens
whose every movement is restdCte4
by the permits issued them to live
in the community. There Is nothing
appalling about this number, wher
it is taken into consideration the large
number of Germans who have md
grated from the Vaterland. and Whl
have shown their love for AmericA N
taking out the necessary papers thN
made them American citizens.
There is one strong point, howeveG
that shows up very clearly in the liz
which the Herald is publishing todaY'
the fact that many Of these alien
have long been residents Of this coun
try and have evidently ignored thN
privileges offered them.
Another noticeable feature Of tn 7
list is the large number Of names tina
appear as employees of the Lander1
Frary & Clark Co. Most of the loca
factories are represented In the list
| with possibly the exception Of thu
North & Judd Mfg. Co., the P. & Fl
Corbin company, the Skinner Chucl
| Co., and possibly some of the smalle1
concerns. Few merchants are rep
! resented in the list. A prominent
musician, whose residence in Americ1
| covers over score of years, is air
! one of the listed enemy aliens.
| Thirty-three years ago two BROTH
ers, Otto and Theodore Natzke, too
up their residence in this country. an
although very young at the Tins
