it was learned today that there would
be but few dfty-four-hour passes dis
tributed among them for Thanksgiving.
The announcement that IS per cent OF
their strength would be given leave for

the information that owing to the close

lfeved to be half q million alien ene-
mics. A large majority of them are be-
lieyed to be harmless but that viii not
lessen the tremendous task OF register
ing them, nor the task of the bureau OF
Investigations in keeping check upon
them.
Many of these have bought liberty
bonds. are thoroughly American in con-
duct and sympathy, but have neglected
to get naturalization papers. 1t is be-
lieved the proportfonate number or
these cases in Washington is especially
large, because in voteless Washington
there was less Involvement for taking
out naturalization papers.
Case of Oswald Lehman.
A case in point is that Of Oswald
Lehman, clerk in the office Of the reg
lister of wills. who has lived practically
all his life in Washington. But his
parents are German subjects, and at
the time of his birth they happened to
be In the employ of the German envoy
to this country. which. technically.
makes him a German subject Since
the legation belonged to the German
empire, IL was regarded as being on
German soil
AS soon as the war was declared
young Lehman was among the first
to take out his first papers, but the
PRED, and now the process cannot be
completed. Holding of first papers In
any case does not hold out any hope
for German citizens, since final papers
will not be issued during the contin-
uance of the war.
German Bought Liberty Bonds.
The head waiter of a prominent hotel
who has been living in America for a
quarter of a century and recently pur-
chased for cash $500 worth of liberty
bonds to help whip the kaiser. was
one of the first to tell his story to q
deputy marshal.
A prominent attorney was at the
courthouse today in the interests OF
six bakers, employed by one firm. He
declared that the reason some OF these
men, who had been employed here for
years and own real estate, had not com.
pleted their naturalization was the fact
that as there is no suffrage here they
did not see the necessity of citizenship.
Publication Of the registration regu-
lations is expected in few days How
the system will be put into effect has
not yet been announced, but it is be.
lieved that active surveillance over
German subjects will be maintained oy
local police in cities and towns. An
ARRANGEMENT for the issuance of travel
ing permits will be included in the de-
partlnents orders.

FIRE Of UNKNOWN ORIGIN
AT INDIAN HEAD FACTORY
More Than 10000 Pounds of Pow.
der Destroyed-One Man
Is Injured.

Fire of unknown origin last night de-
stroyed between 10000 and 10000
pounds Of powder at the naval powder
factory. at Indian Head. Md. Only one
man was injured. He was cut about
the head by falling while he was run
ming to escape the flames.
Rear Admiral Ralph Earl, chief of the
ordnance bureau Of the Navy Depart
ment. said today that the fire started
about 8:45 o'clock last night, while an
attendant was removing powder from a
tank in the solvent recovery house.
The powder caught fire. probably on
account of static electricity. agajnst
which it is impossible to guard. Admira
Earl stated. The flames spread RAPIDLY
to the building.
Several Remarkable Escapes.
Two attendants in an upper story es-
capped, and the attendant who was
emptying the powder also escaped, The
flames spread to two other buildings
but were extinguished without further
damage.
The origin of the fire is being inyestI-
gated. Several thousand employees now
are engaged at the powder plant It is
regarded as remarkable that no others
were injured.
An early report stated that one iden-
titled man had been killed. Later this
man was seen on the reservation.
