hended, restrained, secured and re-
moved as alien enemies The presi
dent is authorized in such event, by
his proclamation thereof or other pub.

so liable, the manner and degree of

SPIES TELL
NAVY PLANS

Washington, D. c.. June 11.-Secre-
tary Daniels today issued the follow
ing statements:
"The navy department has reason to
believe hat information of a charac-
ter most valuable to the enemy and
which might prove most disastrous to
the navy, has in some way reached the
enemy.
I'm view Of the strenuous efforts that
have been made to prevent the dissem-
ination Of such information the depart
ment believes that in practically every
instance this has resulted from certain
information being given in confidence
to, Or spoken in the presence Of a close
relative or q friend who failing to ap-
preciate the gravity of the %offense. in
advertently transmitted it into the
hands of those who most desired to OBJ
tain it,"
The department has on previous oc-
casions endeavored to impress upon
every n in the naval service the urg-
emit necessary for carefully guarding
against the discrimination of any mill
tary information, which could possibly
be- OF advantage to ar enemy. The sit
uatiOn at this time is entirely too grave
to permit of a continuance OF the pres.
ent practice in this regard.
