Figures regarding the number Of ene-
my aliens here who have come since
had. and they probably will not be
known. since there is no reason why
such enemy aliens should publish the
fact Of their departure. Neither is the
information much more definite about
the total number of alien enemy resi-
dents here Of long standing, except that
a considerable number of them are list
ed at the bureau Of Investigations. De-
partment of Justice, while others. who
were excluded from previously declared
restricted zones. are known to the
United States district attorney.

Little Help From Census Office.
Census ONCE figures throw little
light on the present German popuia-
tfon OF Washington. The most recent
figures available are for 1910, and these
figures show only the males over twen-
ty-one years, whereas the Presidents
proclamation includes male enemy
aliens fourteen years or over. In 1910
the census figures show German sub
jects over twenty-one years in the
District numbered 1874. while 1877 had
taken out first papers and 372 had NOT
reported. All of the aforementioned
group most probably were enemy
aliens German-born residents in all
including those naturalized above
twenty-one years, numbered 2,675.
Property Rights Not Affected.
Property rights Of the German sub.
Jects who must leave will not be af.
fected. Under the regulations SO far
issued regarding the trading-with-the-
enemy act the alien property custodian
is empowered to take over the property
only of enemy aliens who now are in
Germany. Therefore Germans who own
property here may continue to controI
IT, though they must do so through
agents or through correspondence.
