But VIII Return Soon.

Deputy United States Marshal Wal
ter Williams Of Peoria left Rock Is
land last night after finishing two
days of strenuous work in cleaning
out the alien enemies employed by
contractors in construction work ct
tho Rock Island arsenal.
At least two hundred aliens. most
ly Austrians, but some Germans, were
oredred OFF the work. At the present
time the deputy felt prepared to say
that there were no laborers employed
at the arsenal other than American
citizens or representatives of the al
| lies of the United States in the war.
The majority of these aliens reside 10
Davenport, although there were few
from the Illinois side of the river.
While some had permits from the mar
shall on the Iowa side. Marshal v. Y.
! Dallman, under whose direction Dep
uty Williams is working, refused to
recognize the permits on the grounds
that the arsenal came under his juris-
diction and that he alone was respon-
| sible for conditions there.
Deputy Williams did not hesitate to
state that he found a number Of DAY.

nized voters in that city, situation,
he said, that should be cleared up.
Although Deputy Williams left for

soon with Marshal Dallman to take
up other questions, including any re-
marks of disloyalty about the presi-
dent in connection with war discus
sions. In this connection Deputy Will
liams said, 1T would be well for the
people to understand the course of
proceedings taken against any natur~
allied person who insults the presi-
dent In times like these. His papers
will be taken away from him, while
the Americans, though there are few
who would do such thing, will be
put under restraint during the time
