only SIX Aliens ASK
BARRED-zONE PERMITS
Washington Has Small Proportion Of
Unnaturalized German Residents.

In comparison with other cities Of the
same size, Washington probably has the
smallest number OF unnaturaliLed Ger
man residents.
Although President Wilson's war proc
lamation. forbidding alien enemies 70
live in, pass through or do business With
in a half mile OF navy yards. barracks,
war colleges. or mUnition plants, has
been in effect more than month, only
six unnaturaliZed Germans have applied
to United States Marshal SpIain for spe-
cial permits which exempts them from
the operation Of the -nalf-mile" clause.
Enemy aliens who have obtained their
fret naturalization papers, but have not
taken out their second papers, making
them full-hedged American citizens, will
be required to obtain permits to re
side or do business in the restricted zones,
Mr.. Splain said last night.
United States marshals and Department
of Justice officials in other large East
ern cities have been instructed TO issue
permits TO unnaturalized Germans wish
| ing to live in or do business with one
| half mile Of armories. but Marshal Splair
said that no such orders have been re

An unselfsh woman who is working In

Union Methodist Episcopal Church.

'In the Bible" said the pastor, eve
nave great example of the unselnsn

pieadings to Jesus resulted in the healing
OF her daughter by the Savior.
When great need rests upon ths
soul OF woman, whether she Is q mother
or not, We may rest assured that she does
not let up until she gets what she wants
She will not be denied. Where the mar
would be discouraged, the woman keep
on and finally obtains that which sh'
so ardently works for,
History tells US of the many womei
who were not discouraged with httl'
