NEW RESTRICTIONS ON ENEMY ALIENS IN NEW YORK CAUSING
 STEADY INFLUX TO BRIDGEPORT

Since the imposition of the addi- tional restrictions upon enemy aliens in New York there has been a small, but increasing influx of Germans into Bridgeport where they believe they can reside under less drastic restric- tions than in New York. Permits for residence in Bridgeport must be se- cured from the United States Mar shal for the district, and all who ap- ply in Bridgeport are sent on to Hart ford for the necessary papers,
 Up to the present time no addi- tional restrictions have been imposed upon enemy aliens in Bridgeport, of whom there are about 800, but in- structions under the new order of the President are expected daily, and 1t is believed the lines will soon be drawn considerably tighter. Under the new proclamation access to the water front must be denied, and in New York all piers, and the water front is under military guard.
 Plans for the carrying out of the proposed restrictions in Bridgeport have been made by Charles H. Lane. special agent of the Department Of Justice, and other authorities of the city working on cooperation. but will not be announced until definite or

MAKE SOLDIERS WHO BREAK RULE. SHOVEL ALL COAL

Camp Devens, Aver, Mass, Dec. 3 Offenders of military discipline in New England's national army have been put to work in the coal piles. Prisoners confined for all sorts of offenses, both minor and major ones, were marched from the guardhouses yesterday and set at work shoveling coal from the huge piles outside heat ing plants. Others wheeled 1t inside and dumped it before the boilers. Armed guards direct their opera tions.
 The innovation will relieve many of the soldiers in camp from the dis agreeable task of handling the coal while they are assigned to fatigue duty. The work is hard and not an entirely clean procedure, even if the coal is of the anthracite variety.
 Heretofore the coal shoveling and carrying work has been performed by details from the fatigue squads of the various companies. The assign ing of prisoners to the work will mean that the number of men needed for the coal handling will be far less, so far as thief atigue details are con- cerned, the number depending on the number of offenders confined in the military jail each day.

An order has been issued from
the Department to show cause
why the frequency of service on
rural routes from Rutledge
should not be changed from six
to three times a week. The rea-
son for this change is that too
many miles are travelled for the
number of pieces of mail deliv-
cred and collected. The postmas-
ter is making measurements of
the routes and will make the
necessary recommendations in
an effort to retain daily service
as at present. s
To retain the service of six
days, it will be necessary that
some Of the routes as now oper-
ated be changed to some extent,
thereby putting some of the pat

THE RED CROSS


! The officers and members of
the Red Cross Community Knit
ting club are feeling very much
encouraged over the progre $
made, and interest shown in the
work. New workers are coming
in most every day. We hope to
be able to keep the work II
more work can be turned off now
than heretofore. Some of the
garments are completed and 9TH
ers nearly so. Every dollar that
has been contributed to the fund
can be accounted for, and has
been carefully and wisely spent
for material with which to work
but now the treasury is empty,
and more money is needed to
purchase more yarn to supply
other workers who are giving
their services, and also to COM
plete garments on hand.
We are making every effort
we know to keep the work going
and feel that our friends will
come in and help us with their
donations, so that we will not be
compelled to stop the work for
lack Of money to purchase the
yarn.
There is no limit placed on
the amount of donations, and we
trust those of you who have not
handed in any money will feel
disposed to do so, and more es-
pecially those who have a son,
brother or other relative, or a
friend, now in the army, would
feel especially inclined to send or
bring something to the treasur-
er to help furnish these garment
for the soldiers comfort.
1t is the intention Of the knit
ting class to specify that these
outfits be sent to the Granger
County boys, wherever they may
be, when the outfits are compile
ted and sent to Red Cross head
quarters.
| About $50 of wool will have
been worked up in these outfits
and as before stated, we are out
of funds to buy more wool, and
supply more workers. With the
high price of wool, thirty dollars
will not go very far to furnish
many outfits.
