ON The AUSTRIANS
Presidents Proclamation Spec
flies, However, That Rules
Must be Observed.
REGISTRATION PLAN DROPPED
Majority Are Believed Loyal to Amer
ica and Will Not Be classed
as Germans.
REGISTRATION PLAN DROPPED

Washington, Dec. 13-Austro-Hun-
garian subjects in the United States,
most of the million or more of whom
are laborers and are loyal to the al
lied war cause, will suffer few restric-
tions as a result of war between the
land of their birth and that of their
adoption.
In a proclamation today declaring a
state of war with Austria-Hungary, in
accordance with the act of congress,
President Wilson specified that I'M
naturalized Austro-Hungarians, 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 per-
mission, and those suspected of enemy
activity may be interned. They need
not register with police or postoffice
officials, as Germans will be required
to do shortly, and are not barred from
the 100-yard zones about the piers,
docks and warehouses closed to Ger
mans, and are not required to leave
the District of Columbia
Different From Germans.
The Presidents motive in drawing
distinctions between Germans and
Austrians was described as twofold-
Firstly, it was realized that the SYM
pathy of Hungarians, Rumanians,
Poles, Serbians, Czechs, Slovacs and
other immigrants from ire Austro-
Hungarian empire generally is not
with the mother country in the war
and they have not been guilty of the
multiform campaign of violence prac-
ticed under the Gerfan war system.
Secondly, such a large proportion of
Iaborers in munition and steel plants
and coal mines consists of Austrian
subject that it was found practically
to administer against
them the rigid regulations imposed on
the Germans, who are half as numer-
ous and more individualistic.
Registration Plan Dropped.
The department of justice even
abandoned it's former plans TIC register
Austrians along with Germans be-
cause of the immensely of the task
and the administration determine
ton to minimize embarrassment to
thousands of whom have
their loyalty to this
country by enlisting in the army and
navy.

Status Of Arab Nation.

The Arab nation is without money
or natural resources. Its territory con-
'tains neither mineral nor external agri-
cultural wealth-but the redemption
of Mesopotamia will afford the Arab
of the future opportunity for aggran-
dizement. There, under semi-inde-
pendence, after barrages on the Tigris
and Euphrates have been built by Brit
ish energy and cash, Bagdad may rise
to a higher scale of learning. splendor
and wealth than under the caliphat Of
Haroun al RaSchid.
OF the entire outcome from the war,
therefore, notes a correspondent, the
Arab renaissance is assuredly not the
least momentous. Historically, it will
mark the advent of a new era; ethno
logically 1t becomes a charming study
of futurists Of literature.

NEGROES LEAVING SELMA TERRITORY
 IN GREAT NUMBERS
Birmingham Labor Agency Said to Be Active in Sending Them to
 the East

selma, January S-(Special.)-It has now been charged that it is through a Birmingham labor agency that he large number of negroes that have been Ieav- ing Dallas county are enabled to get away.
 It is stated that the labor agency at Birmingham enables the labor agents to evade the law. It is not against the law to persuade the negroes to go from one place in the state to another, and they are taken to Birmingham, where It is permissible for the licensed labor agency to ship them to the various points where they are wanted.
 The startling rumor was spread this morning that 20O0 negroes were leaving Tor Birmingham over the Louisville and Nashville, but on investigation it was round that only 16O were really going. The great crowds at the depot were there merely to see the other off.
 About 75 of the negroes returned to the city this afternoon, having been put off the train for having no fares. They were compelled to walk in from sta- tions along the road. They had been at the depot when the crowd left and, enthused with the occasion, had taken a chance that an agent was on the train Who would pay their fares.
