LOSE
HOMES AND JOBS
Thousands Forced to Move
From Barred Zones.
GOVERNMENT TO HELP EXILES

Enemy Aliens Compelled to Leave
Homes Near Docks, Piers, Ware
houses, Railway Terminals and
Other establishments Declared
Barred Zones by President Wilson's
Proclamation.
Washington, Nov. 22.-Their homes
being located near docks, piers, ware
houses, railway terminals and other
establishments declared barred zones
by President Wilson's alien enemy
proclamation, thousands of Germans
have been forced to move. For many
the new regulations meant not only
the actual moving Of the place of res
idence, but the loss Of jobs in the
forbidden areas as well.
To those without work, including
many with dependents, the federal
employment agencies were open and
officials were emphatic In explanation
that the help Nf these agencies In
finding new employment for the alien
enemies would not be withheld. This
was only one evidence Of the govern
ment's anxiety to treat law-abiding
Germans with courtesy and consider
alton, while applying the drastic rules
to detect the few with harmful intent
Mayors Of eastern seaport cities
were asked for the cooperation Of
their police departments in the regis
tration Of alien enemies under the
presidents proclamation and a few
early replies to the department OF
justice indicated that the police would
willingly undertake the task Of enroll.
ing thousands of German adult males
and soliciting data on their occupa.
tions and habits for future reference.
Along the Atlantic coast, where dan
ger from alien plotters is considered
greatest, the registration enterprise
will be undertaken first, and will be
followed later by registrations in the
interior. i
John Lord O'Brian, special assist
ant to Attorney General Gregory, in
charge Of the enforcement Of the alien
proclamation, expects to complete
regulations for the registration late
this week and to put them into effect
next week.
By that time the war department
will have placed troops to
guard the most important piers and
docks at eastern seaports. They will
supplement the private guards who
went on duty under employ of dock
owners, at request Of the department
Of Justice.

evening, November IA. All her living
children present at her death-bed She
remained conscious until the very last.
She reached the age Of years, eleven
months and four days.
Deceased was born in st. Rosa, on the
firm now owned by Glenn Albers. Her
maiden years were spent on the farm.
Then it was hereabouts an almost will

that she could give Of this early pioneer
life. Deer roamed the country around
here then. OF the exciting years OF the
Civil War she could relate many episodes.
In the year 1862 she married Henry
Leugers who owned the farm two miles
south of ST. Rosa, where Frank Bergman
now lives. Her married life was, hoy
ever. of short duration for in June 4,
1865 her husband died at the age of 27.
and left two children, Henry and Mary.
A few years later she married the sec
ond time to Herman Fortkamp. This
union was blessed with four sons and
one daughter, namely: Bernard, Herman,
John, Frank and Elizabeth.
Her eldest son, Henry and wife stayed
with his parents on the farm. They liv-
ed on the farm until he died In 1901,
whe they moved into the house where
they lived from then on, and where she
died
On April 16 1906 her second husband
died and Grandmother Fortkamp made
her home with her youngest son, Frank.
who had married and stayed at home.
Getting older she was often seriously
ill, yet always rallying soon. Living near
the church she attended the Holy Sacri-
flee of the Mass almost daily and gave all
a constant example of good attendance
at Divine Service.
Her two oldest children preceded her
into eternity namely, Henry Leugers. who
died 1901, and Mrs. Bernard Streacher,
who died last February
Her surviving children are Bernard and
Herman Fortkamp, Philothea; John and
Frank Fortkamp and Mrs. Ellis. Bimholt
who reside at st. Rosa mourn her death
with many grandchildren and great grand
