Suspects. ''.


Mai. Raymond W. Pullman. superin-
tendent Of Metropolitan police. last night
declared that no alleged spies had as yet
been arrested In Washington. although
scores of them have been taken into Gus
tody in other cities
The local police authorities have been
on the alert for suspicious subjects. but
1t was said that there would be no ar
rests here unless acts Of violence was
committed. p. ..
j The heads of the Department Of Jus
ticA, the police. and other departments
have been in close touch for the past

man yesterday discussed the provision
of the Presidents proclamation provid-
ing that alien enemies OF the United
States shall not approach within q half
mile of any Federal station, fortress,
military post government factory, or

that such a provision will affect q num-
ber Of alien residents of Washington,

CITIZEN BODIES
NDORSE PRESIDENT
Federation Approves War Move and
Evidence Loyalty.

The FEDERATION Of Citizens Associa-
tions last night unanimously voted to
stand sQuarely behind the President in
the war that now faces the United
States.
The action OF the federation was
taken through the adoption of a resolu-
ton offered by Edward F. Colloday, del
egate from the Chevy Chase Citizens AS
sociation. 1t read in part as follows:
As delegates representing the citizens
associations of the District of Column
hta, speaking for ourselves and for the
members Of our associa tions. We renew
again tonight as national Americans at
the capital Of the United States. our al
leglance to our country and to the flag.
and pledge our support to the Presi-
dent"
AS further evidence of the loyalty of
the federation to the President, it re-
fused to pass a resolution declaring for
home rule" In the naming of new
judge of the Police Court, until the les
olution which conveyed this sentiment
had been purged' Of a statement which
quoted the President as saying: Il have
Ia passion for local self-gOvernment."
While It did not deny the statement the
federation held that II was too critical of
the President and expunged the para
graph before passing the resolution.
The nomination of Robert Hardison, of
Kentucky. by the President for Judge Of
the Police Court. precipitated a long dis
cussion on the subject of home ruiz"
appointments. but in the end the secre-
tary was directed to acquaint the Pres
ident with the opposition of the fedora
ton to his appointment
President Charles g. Shreve was au-
thorized to appoint a committee OF five
members to obtain from constituent as
sociations the names of all men who are
willing to serve in the Home Guard now
being organized by District officials.
