District Attorney France announced
to-day. After four-hour conference
with Major Orr OF Brig Gen. Hoylc'5
staff Mr. France did not give details
OF the plan. saying that such an an
nouncement must come from ths mil
itary authorities.
Several conferences were held dur
ing tho day between military and
civilian officials. the chief object OF
which was to speed up all arrange
ments for getting troops on the west
side waterfront OF Manhattan by
nlghtfnll. II is understood Major
Phillips, stationed at Governors
Island, will be IN charge OF the mill
tary guard. The impression in Fed
eral official circles is that before many
days have passed there will be SOL
diers on guard at all vital points in
this district
Placards warning alien enemies that
they will enter the prescribed areas at
the peril OF being Immediately interncd
were posted in prominent places on
the edge OF the barred zones to-day.
There were 10000 OF these placards,
half printed in English and the re-
mainder In German.
United states Marshal Mccarthy, folA
lowing conferences with United States
Attorney Caffey who has just returned
from washington, and chief Inspector
OF Police Dillon, announced that as
soon as the new zones have been es-
tablished through the medium OF the
placards the police and deputy mar
shals will take census that Will in
cludc every one within the barred dis
tricts. citizens as well as aliens I'm
this way the Government authorities
and the police will have card index OF
every occupant Of these zones.
This information, II was hinted,
will prove extremely valuable in
enabling the officials to round up
any persons who may soon he, put in
the enemy alien class as a result OF
action by the coming Congress.
Marshal Mccarthy was besieged
again today by Germans, men and
women, who have lost their Jobs as
a result OF the new regulations, and
who assert they are in danger OF
starving unless some one comes to
! their assistance. Many such persons
OF advanced years have begged to be
interned and their applications have
been granted.
One case that aroused the ire OF
Marshal Mccarthy to-day was that
OF a Brooklyn caterer, ciuIen Of
German extraction, who asked for
/ special permits for two Of his chefs
/ alien enemies, to enter local ar
mory where he is TO serve a dinner
/ 10 the soldiers on Thanksgiving Day
/ Mccarthy was astoundcd. lie nm
ally told the caterer he should be
, ashamed TO make such request al
] this time and refused the permits.
