Luxurious New York Offices
Must Be Vacated by Order

| New York, Nov. 22.-Within tho
| next few days considerable number
| of wealthy German businessmen who
! have Offices in West street or other
| streets near waterfront must move out.
! following the latest restrictions on the
| movement of enemy aliens. United
| States Marshal Thomas d. Mccarthy
yesterday made an inspection of the
districts affected. preparatory to is
, SUNG orders to enemy aliens living or
| doing business near the waterfront to
get out. The regulations governing
| the enforcement of the order are
expected I'd arrive within the next
few days, and the orders will be is
| sued Immediately afterward.
So far Germans of the prosperous
| classes who have kept themselves in
the background so far as words and
! overt acts are concerned, have very
| largely escaped government restric-
tons, and most Of the weight has fall
ler upon sailors, dock laborers and
others of less affluent stations. OF
! this sort were most OF the thirty men
arrested yesterday In Hoboken, fol-
lowing the big roundups during tho
| last few days, and dozen or so taken
| into custody .by the Secret Service in
4 New York.
Nearly all of these men were sent
| to Ellis Island.
The long immunity of more pros
porous Germans seems to have made
| it difficult for a good many of them to
| believe that they could ever be af-
fected, and a considerable number
called on Marshal Mccarthy yester-
day, often accompanied by American
lawyers, to find out If there was any
! way by which they could escape the
new regulations. All of them were
told bluntly that the Federal authori-
ties would play no favorites and that
everybody would have to get out.
One enemy alien. 1t was said yes
terday, owns five saloons In West
Street south of Christopher. He will
have to turn over his business to an
American manager or sell out.
Wilhelm Hockstaff, said to be
German army reservist. was turned
over to the Federal authorities by the
police yesterday morning. He was ar
rested late Tuesday night by members
Of the Bomb Squad and in his possess
sion were found several Photographic
negatives of ports and other places OF
military importance in and near New

written, but had failed to mail to an
acquaintance in this city. The letter
which was bitterly anti-American,
was made public by Assistant United
States District Attorney John G. Knox.
It read:
Let us hope for the best. Hope is,
after all, the only thing we poor
Germans still have left. That is some
thing that cannot be withheld from
us poor, outlawed people. But for
the rest, we must hold our tongue.
We must bite our teeth together full
of grim rage until the day comes when
we with joyous cry and out of fun
thread may sing deutschland uber
Allies" Then to witness the helpless
rage of this pack of vagabonds. We
will take pleasure and rejoice in it.
That, my dear Mr.. -, is one OF tho
best birthday wishes I have for you,
and I hope that it will be fulfilled
very soon.
Hochstaff was questioned at length
regarding the photographs, and mega
tives, but whatever he had to say in
explanation was withheld by the
authorities. In his room the police
found a picture Of "German1a'
under which was the inscription:
1.-THE German will never bend You
Hochstaff gave his occupation as a
sailor, but the authorities are doubt
full as to the accuracy of this state
ment. He is we'll educated and re-
ticent.
The roundup of the enemy aliens In
Hoboken which began on Monday
night when about 200 were taken into
custody by regular soldiers on guard
duty, is continuing, and about 500 are
now under arrest. River street. the
waterfront street which parallels the
great army piers, which for years has
been more like a German than an
American street, was deserted last
night The appearance of a German
in River street results in his instant
arrest.
One Of the Germans arrested in Ho-
boken yesterday was Heinrich Hen
niger. a barber who was employed in
a River street shop. He was busy
with a bearded customer when a
Government agent entered the shop.
When he finished with his customer
Henniger turned to the Secret Service
man and said:
you're next"
mo, I guess you are wrong about
that. You're next" the agent re-
| piled as he took Henninger into Gus
