DANGEROUS ALIEN
Arrest Friend of the
Deutschland Captain
at New York

New York. Aug. 17-Henry F.
Ficke. formerly employed as an audi
tor by the North German Lloyd
Steamship Co, was arrested tonight in
his home at Rosebank, Staten Island
by United States Marshal Powers OF
Brooklyn, charged with being a
Dangerous alien" He will be taken
to Ellis Island tomorrow, where. it
was said, he will be detained for the
period of the war.
According to Marshal Powers, Ficke
admitted that he is still in the pay of
the Steamship Co, receiving a month
ly salary of $40. His arrest was con-
sidered advisable, the marshal said.
as the proximity of his home at the
entrance Of New York harbor afforded
an opportunity to observe movements
of steamships entering and leaving
the port. \ search of Ficke's house.
it was stated, revealed nothing of an
discriminating character.
Ficke is said to be a close friend of
Capt. Paul koenig, of the German sub
marine Deutschland. which made two
voyages to the United States.

COAST PATROL men NOT

Portland, Me-. Aug. 17-Rumors
which have been circulated through
out the county by newspapers regard
ing the disposition of the members OF
Class 4, United States Naval Coast
Defense Reserve Of late. have been
declared without foundation by the
authorities at the Navy Yard, Bos-
ton.
Newspaper reports have stated that
members Of this class of the United
States Naval Reserve force, which
also comprises the Naval Coast Patrol
force, would be given the choice of
volunteering for general service or else
receive their discharge, making them
subject to the draft.
Lieutenant Hugh Allen, section COM
mander in this city. went to the Boston
navy yard yesterday to look into the mat
ter. and it was today that official infor-
nation was received for the first time,
Men have simply been given a chance
to volunteer for general service if they
care to. No compulsory measures have
vet been resorted to and men who do not
volunteer will be retained in their pres
ent classes. will not be discharged, and
will not be drafted.

DIPLOMATIC ACTION
President Clearing Way
for Drafting Of Aliens

Washington, Aug. lin replying
today to letter from Senator Weeks
urging that aliens be drafted for mill
tary service. President Wilson said the
matter of diplomatic action to clear
the way for such a step lis already in
teresting the department OF state and
I have no doubt will be pressed as fast
as circumstances permit
Referring to suggestion by the sem
ator that men with families except
those who have married to escape draft
should be exempted. the President said
he had reason to believe the point was
very much in the mind at any rate of
most of the drafting boards" but he
would take pleasure in calling the at
tention of the war department to it
again.
The Presidents letter follows:
While I sympathize to a very great
extent with your point about the draft
ing of aliens, / cannot believe that you
mean exactly what you say with re-
gard to our treaty obligations. What
ever may be our treaties with foreign
countries on this subject it is absolute
~ essential in my Judgment that some
action should be taken which will in
clude the alien population of draft age
in the draft. I assume Of course that
YOU reean that some diplomatic action
should he taken to clear the way. That
matter is already interesting the de-
partment of state and l have no doubt
will be pressed as fast as the circum-
stances permit.
Your point with regard. to the draft
ing of men with families Is undoubted
iy well taken, and l have reason to be-
lieve that it is very much in the mind
at any rate of most of the drafting
boards. I shall take pleasure in call
ing the attention Of the war depart
ment again to it,

TWENTY WOMEN

Bangor, Me. Aug. 17.-Twenty wo-
men are now employed by the Bangor
6, Aroostook railroad at the company's
shops at Milo, and are now holding po-
sitions heretofore occupied by men. AS
a result of the war. and following in
the footsteps Of certain countries
abroad, it has been necessary in many
instances for the railroads in the Unit
ed States to hire women to take the
places of men and to do the lighter
forms of work found on the transpor-
tation lines.
A decided shortage of men has al
ready been felt at Milo and it is said
that there are or least 100 employees
needed to fill the openings brought
about by the fact shat the men have
either enlisted for service or are
counted among the number for the first
draft. Many Of the mon in the en-
ploy of tho railroad are Of drafting
age and II is thought that with the
continuance Of war that many more
