FOREIGN MEN PRAISED
Attorney General Speaks Good Word for Con- duct of Foreigners
 in United States

WASHINGTON. May 15.- High praise for Americas foreign born citizens is given by Attorney Gen eral Gregory in a statement re vealing that only 125 alien enemies have been arrested under the Presi. dents proclamation.
 About half of those arrested Wero charged with espionage or attempt to foment disloyalty or disorder The remainder are held because they would be dangerous at large. The attorney general renews the admoni- tion that alien residents exercise scrupulous care in their daily activi- ties, and reiterates that the vigilance of the government agents has not been relaxed.
 "The foreign born citizens of America as a class" the statement says, deserves the highest commen, dation and praise for the manner in which they have conducted them selves. As regards law and order they have in almost all instances vindicated the Presidents Oft-repeat ed assertion that he had no misgiv ings as to how foreign-born Ameri cans would measure up to their re- responsibilities and duties in the event of national crisis"

SUCH EXPRESSIONS AS "PUT FER OVER"
 ARE NOW ON TAP

DOUGLAS, May 15-At a well at. tended meeting of the fire depart ment last night and after depart ment business had been disposed of, the matter of organizing baseball team to be known as the Bremen, was taken up.
 Jack Henson. who has managed Douglas teams since the mudpie days of his youth, was made manager and Robt. Coughlin, another pioneer and baseball enthusiast, was made captain. The latter stated that the Island is teeming with baseball ma terial and that first-class team can be gotten together.
 As there is plenty of equipment in the way of uniforms and parapher. nalia on hands, and as the grounds are in splendid condition, there is nothing to prevent practice being started at once.
 In the event of celebration being held at Whitehorse. Yukon, this year the matter to come up at a meeting at that place last night, it is likely that the Douglas team will go after the money.

Nevada Holds Record.
Nevada, with quota of 1862 has

Utah, Wyoming and Oregon have
nearly tripled their quota. Twenty
eight states have furnished more
than their share. Some of the ex-

Senators Robert M. La Toilette and
A. J. Gronna, obstructionists in the
war Congress which adjourned two
weeks ago, are still far short of their
volunteer quotas for the regular
army asked by the war department

While the nation at large has fur
nished approximately 13O per cent of
the volunteers needed to bring the
army to full strength, Wisconsin has
given little more than half its quota.
The goal April 1 was 1S3,S98. To-

Wisconsin's quota was 4,666 and

Robert Fitzsimmons, Bob" to ev-
cry boxing fan in the world of fisti-

ever drew on glove. He was born
in Cornwall, England, SIS years ago
and before coming to the United
States went to Australia where he

shoulders were immense and his arms
long and powerfully developed. His
hitting power was a revelation.
Coming to America he waded
through everything in all classes,
Despite his size and powerful shoul
ders and arms he was middleweight
and defeated all comers, becoming
the champion.
The prowess of Fitzsimmons be-
came terror to all middleweights
and he was obliged to go out of his
class to get matches, taking on
heavier opponents. But it was the
same old story and he won the light
heavyweight championship. Then
he tackled James J. Corbett, cham
