 Mr. Spellacy said today that an alien enemy was any Ger man who had not been natur- alized and the regulations would be strictly enforced, as the aliens had Z ample time to accommodate them selves to conditions.
 The directions from Attorney-Gen- eral Gregory give the aliens until June to move away from the restricted districts and the paragraph that solves many a problem in Connecti- cut says that the United States marshal, after conference with the special agent of the department of justice, may issue permits to aliens to reside in the forbidden locality or to work in intuition factories.
 Strict enforcement by The Uni; ed States marshal is ordered by Attorr ey General Gregory of the regulations proclaimed by the president and hei says that any alien enemy found with firearms, weapons, implements of war, ammunition or explosives ill his pos- session after April 24 shall be at once arrested and detained, the articles shall be seized and the case reported to the attorney general. This rule also applies in the case of aliens hav- ing wireless apparatus, signalling de vices or a cipher Code.
 If the marshal, however, (after conference with the special agent of the department of justice, if there is one in the locality, and after approval of the United States attorney or as- sistant United States attorney) shall be satisfied that the alien enemy is not a danger to the public peace of safety and had no knowledge of the Presidents proclamation, he may re- frain from making arrest; or if the alien enemy shall show good cause why temporarily he should be per- mitted to retain such articles, the marshal after similar conference and approval may permit such articles to be retained, temporarily, under sudn restrictions as he may deem necessary.
 Attorney General Gregory directs that the marshal shall enforce a reg ulation as follows:
 Alien enemies residing within one half mile of a, fort, camp, arsenal, air. craft station, government or naval ves- sel, navy yard, factory. or work shop for the manufacture of munitions of war Or of any products for the use of the army or navy, shall be required to remove therefrom before June l, 1917, provided, however, that any alien enemy who comes within the purvfew of regulation No. 12 of the presidents proclamation shall be required to re- move at once and shall be subject to summary arrest. Regulation No. F reltes to aliens who are believed to be aiding or abetting the enemy or who violate the regulation promulgated by |, the president or criminal law of the United States or the state laws.
 Any alien enemy who fails to re- move prior to June 1 shall be sum- marily arrested. Alien enemies who the places referred to and who come within one half mile of said places will do so at their own risk and may be summarily arrested.
 An important paragraph from the attorney general reaaS:
 "The marshal may issue a permit to any one to continue to reside in the forbidden locality or to come within the forbidden locality for the purpose of passing through such one half mile area or of being employed or doing business within the same, if, after such proof as the marshal shall require, he is satisfied that such con- tinued residence of such passage through or such employment will not be dangerous to the community or to the United States. Permits must not be issued, however, until after the mar shal shall have conferred with the spe- cial agent of the department of jus tice Off there is one in the locality) and until after the employer of the applicant shall certify in writing, in such form as the attorney general shall prescribe, that he desires to en- ploy or to continue to employ the applicant, and that he is satisfied that such employment will not be to the injury of the community >or of the United States or until the applicant (if he is himself the head of a bush ness) shall give such security or as- surance as shall be prescribed that he will strictly obey the law and the Presidents proclamation; and the marshal before issuing any permit shall secure the approval of the Uni- ted States attorney or assistant Uni- ted States attorney"
 All permits issued will be revocable at any time if the interests of the United States so require.
 Any alien enemy who. tears down, mutilates, abuses, desecrates, or in suits the United States flag in any way, or displayes an enemy flag or insignia, is to be regarded as a dan ger to the public peace or safety and subject to summary arrest and con- flnement.
 Tn exceptional cases where the at- torney general shall decide that the circumstances warrant, alien enemies
