EXEMPT SOLDIERS IN us.
HOME FROM ENEMY LAW

iUnnaturalized Germans resident In
Washington will not be required to
leave that institution. United States
Marshal Splain, with the consent Of the
Department of Justice. today arranged
with the commander at the home to
intern there the former soldiers of
Uncle Sam who had not completed their
American naturalization.
These German ex-soldierS will be re-
quired to remain within the confines
of the institution and will not be per-
mitted to come into the city during the
war.
There are fifty-four inmates Of the home
who come under the arrangement. Many
Of them are inflrm from disease and old
age. one is eighty years old and at least
one has been In the institution nearly
fifty years. Mr.. Splain thought that as
these men had served this government
and had become entitled to the rest and
quiet Of the home they should not be dis
turbed providing the authorities Of the in
stitution would guarantee they would not
be allowed to leave the grounds. United
States Attorney Laskey and Attorney
Doubt Published List.
No list of German males required to
leave the District under the proclama-
ton of President Wilson will be made
public for at least ten days, IL at all.
United States Marshal Splain stated to-
day that he would not allow a list to
be given out until requested by the De-
partment of Justice.
1t would be physically impossible to
prepare a list for at least ten days, IL
ordered. he said, because of the num-
Der of cases where exemptions will be
allowed, as in the case of Alsatians
who left their native land while 1t was
under French dominion and never be-
came subjects of the kaiser. and of citi-
zens of the Independent German states
and provinces. excepting Prussia. who
came to America prior to the formation
of the German empire
The Office of Mr.. Splain has been be-
sieged for several days by unnatural
lied Germans and Assistant United
States Mrshal O'Meara, in charge OF
the alien enemy department, has been
working until the "wee hours" in an
effort to keep abreast of the stream OF
applicants for information.
Tomorrow is the limit placed by the
President for the removal of all male
Germans over the age of fourteen
years that have not become naturalized
and like most things In human affairs
many have left to the last day the Al.

TITLES OF THE R0MANOFFS.
Alexander III. Was Proud TO Be Called
the Peasant Emperor.

The late car Of Russia Is now known
as Nicholas Romanolf in the great land
over which he held autocratic sway. 1t
Is not the title by which he expected to
go down TO posterity.
NJ de Blowitz, the famous correspond
ent Of the London Times ut Paris, was
responsible for putting on record a
story regarding Alexander ILL.,, the IA
Their OF Nicholas. which is worth recall
ing in this connection. The car and
his courthrs had been discussing by
what added title he should be known In
history. Ills father had been called
Alexander the Liberator and Alexan-
der the Martyr. What should the son
be called? alexander the Just sug-
gcstcd one. "Oh, no." replied the car
Il am and shall remain the peasant
emperor. SO some Of my nobility have
styled me in derision, scolling at my
affection for the moujik. But | accept
the title rs an honor have tried to
procure for the humble the means Of
livelihood, and this. think, is the best
and only means Of keeping the world
going. My greatest ambition
is to deserve to bear to the last the
title of the peasant emperor"
Little could Alexander III. have
thought that the world was so near the
time when his son would run the
chance of becoming the last Of the en-
perors Of Russia. Dundee Advertiser.

FRIENDS OF PEACE
 PRO-GERMAN SOCIETY
Former Head of Organization Tells of of Bribe Offer. and That Ger
 mans Financed Work.

Chicago, Sept. 25.-J. J. Tobias, chancellor of the Chicago Law school, once leader of the Friends of Peace, an organization at one time active in peace talk, told yesterday of having received an offer of $30,OOO to work for an embargo on munitions and to in- fluence sentiment in this country in favor of peace with Germany. The offer he said, came from man calling himself E. J. Thyme, a banker of Stockholm, Sweden.
 The $2,40O with which the conven- tion of the Friends of Peace Sept. 6. 1915, was financed also was raised by 25 local Germans and German-Amer- jeans, according to Dr. Tobias, and the money which supplied funds for the organizations mail propaganda came from the German committee in New York.
 Dr. Tobias said he became suspicious and withdrew from the organization when he was convinced it was becom- ing pro- German.

GERMAN AIRMEN TRY ANOTHER
 LONDON RAID
Prussians Beaten Off by Anti Aircraft Guns Be-
 fore Reaching City.

London, Sept. 25.--Another hostile airplanc raid on London took place tonight. There were two attacks ap- parently for after 40-minute quiet interval, anti-aircraft guns resumed firing in the London district.
 In the first attack after brisk fir ing by the defense guns, lasting only 10 minutes, the raiders were driven off without succeeding in reaching London.
 The firing of the anti-craft guns in the second attack was only of brief duration. The raiders were finally driven off, and the police gave out the "all clear" signal at 9:30 o'clock.
 A report was issued by Field Marshal French which says:
 '"The Thames estuary was again the object of hostile air raid this even ing. The Kent and Essex coast was at various points and a few bombs were dropped, but no casual ties as yet reported. One raider penetrated as far as the southeastern outskirts of London, where two bombs fell, causing some 20 casualties.
