The carbohydrates of the American

Of the law of Rome on Protestant marriages;

1igious Prejudice" should have begun its vir-

Germany wanted us to make another treaty
with her, few days after she had torn up
the following:
Article XII in the treaty of 1885 between the
United States and Prussia embodied in the treaty
of 1928, and still binding.
If one of the contracting parties should be
gagged in war with any other power, the free in-
tercOurse and commerce of the subjects citizens
of the party remaining neuter with the belligerent
power shall not be interrupted On the contrary,
in that case in full peace the vessels of the
neutral party may navigate freely to and from
the ports and the coasts of the belligerent
parties, free vessels making free goods insomuch
that all things shall be adjudged free which shall
be board any vessel belonging to the neutral
party, although such things belong to the enemy
OF the other; and the freedom shall be
tended to persons who shall be on board free
vessel, although they should be enemies to the
other party, unless they be soldiers in actual
service of such enemy.
TIL. JEFFERSON,
JOHN ADAMS,
F. G. DE THULEMEIER.
When the Prussian militarists raped Bel
GUM, whose neutral rights had been guaran-
teed by treaty, the Chancellor of the Empire
sardonically declared, in public and official
speech, that the law OF military necessity was
the only one they would respect.
Who Judges of the necessity?
The Autocrats do
What they want, and feel able to take, they
seize.
They stop at no crime, and reck not of the

Why make treaties with Anarchs like

If the German despots win, the human race
will have lost all that the Libetarians have
dreamed, hoped, worked, fought, and suf-
fered to achieve, for the uplft of the under
dog and the fraternal equality of mankind.
The German ideal, as expressed by the
Kaiser and his coterie, IS the megotion of
Christianity, and Of GIRL liberty.
No wonder the Pope is SO desperately eager
for the Kaisers to win.

preparing to enter the ministry, the young
man replied:

expected to minister to the salvation Of souls and
has become, instead, the manager of pass-the-

Because my father expected the freedom Of

be aided b. Argentina. The dispatch
of August 4 indicates that although the
chance of having Argentina take a
hand was rapidly failing, the "reorgan-
ization" or revolution might be carried
out anyhow. But Argentina might still
be coerced into playing the German
game by feet Of submarines making
proper demonstration, under the
guidance of Count Luxburg.
Tho comment on the wheat prospect
doubtless was warning of how the
South American nation might aid the
Entente.
It is thought here that there may be
some additional message which makes
the German designs against South
Brazil still more clear, but the message
of August is considered ample TO have
aroused the ire of the Brazilian For
eign Minister, and little wonder is felt
here that the Argentine newspapers de-
manded, following the Brazilian Min
ister's statement, that either Argen-
tina make the Luyburg dispatches re-
gardirc the situation public or else
authorize foreign government TO
do so.
The dispatches made public to-day
are from the number sent to the Ar
gentine and Brazilian governments by
the State Department and not from
those sent 20 Washington by the Ar
gcntine Republic to be decoded. There
has been some surprise in Administra-
tion circles that the dispatches have
cot been made public in South America.

employed on the pier are missing.
On one OF inc piers were cases Of

suspicious looking men were seen hur-

after the fire was discovered by "a po-

Marshal Power Takes Drastic
Action to Rid Waterfront
of Enemy Aliens

An order forbidding enemy aliens
to work in or visit the Brooklyn water
front or any other shore front OF Long
Island or Staten Island was issued yes
terday by James NJ. Power, United
States Marshal for the Eastern Dis
trict of New York. The order ap-
plies to German subjects, irrespective
Of whether or not they possess permits
TO enter the so-called barred zones.
There have been thirty-two suspi-
cious fires along the Brooklyn water
front since the United States entered
the war, and Federal officials privately
admit that most Of these bore all the
marks of having been started By ene-
mics. Ships, docks and warehouses.
including two bulging with grain, were
fred, the officials believe, by the Ger
mans.
at is better to be safe than sorry
was the laconic reply Of Marshal
Power as to why he issued the order.
at is true that many things have hap
pened which caused little apprehen-
sion, and / decided that the best way
10 handle the situation was TO clear
the waterfront of all enemy aliens.
The men affected are for the most
part mechanics. They can get plenty
Of work in the interior, away from the
barred zones. So it is up to them TO
get out tomorrow"
Majority Work in Shipyards
Marshal Power said that most Of
the Germans affected were employed
in shipysrds and that was an addi-
tional reason why they should be
custed
81 believe that the country will be
better off if the work Of building new
ships and reconstructing others for the
transportation of our troops abroad
and for other purposes connected with
/ the prosecution Of the war is placed
/ in the hands of American workmen en-
tirely. And l think that this order
will have the desired effect"
All employers Of enemy-alien labor
along the waterfront affected were sent
the following letter by Marshal Power
/ yesterday:
Gentlemen:
You will please take notice that on and
] after November /, 1917, TO German alien
/ will be allowed to work OF visit the water
? front OF this district. This rule affects all
German aliens regardless of whether they
have alien permits not. Representatives
{ Of this office and agents OF the Department
I of Justice will visit the docks from time TO
/ time after this date. and all enemy aliens
found in violation OF this rule will be i'm
mediately appreheHded and interned. |
send this TO you so that you can make such
arrangements as are necessary for the dis
continuing of employing al German aliens
along the waterfront.
Yours very truly,
