IF NECESSARY.

: Warning that if it becomes neces-
sary to intern every enemy alien to
win the war the Government will
not hesitate to act, was given by
Thomas G.. Mccarthy. United States
Marshal, in an address in New York
to an audience composed chiefly OF
Americans. He urged his
hearers to carry the message to their
friends, land tell them finally that

thing she has undertaken"
"a man with six or seven gener-
ations of America back of him might
have a right to express a grievance

a man who comes here from for

for his liberty here that he should
go forth and cry this freedom from
one end of the land to the other.

NATIONAL DEFENSE COUNCIL
ASKS FOR HOME GUARDS

Mayor John T. Hinton is in re-
ceipt of a letter from Mr.. William
Tertherly, Field Secretary of the Ma
tional Council of Defense, from the
headquarters at New York, ex-
planning parts of plans for the or
ganization here of Vigilance Corps,
or Home Guards. 1t is proposed to
make this organization part of the
national plan of defense. 1t will
be the duty of the members of the
Vigilance Corps to cooperate with
the Government in running down
every person suspected of disloyalty,
and of collecting as much informa-
ton as possible to place at the dis
posal of the Government as soon as
it shall be called for.
Mr.. Tertherly announces that the
National Society is devoting it's en-
tire time and resources to the i'm
mediate detection and seQuestration
of all disloyal Americans, pacifists
and pro-Germans. He says that in
this country there are several million
aliens representing Germany, Aus
tria. Bulgaria, Turkey and Hun
gary, every one of wnom is pos
sible enemy Unofficial announce
ment has been made from washing
ton that the Government is now
about to register the alien enemies
of America.
Mr.. Tetherley asks the Mayor to
take the matter up with the people
of Paris and urges that the forma-
ton of the Vigilance Corps be made
as patriotic principle and a help
to the Government in running down
these millions who are constantly
plotting against peace and safety
of our country. They may be in our
midst, for all we know, so the for
nation of this organization will be-
come a matter of necessity.
Parts of the plan, as outlined by
Mr.. Tertherly, provides for the call
ing of a meeting of ten prominent
Paris men, who are known to be
active and loyal workers, who will
form the nucleus of the Vigilance
Corps. These will be provided with
a list of every man in the commu-
uity. From this list a series of rec
ords will be formed, each one being
marked loyal" "Disloyal," Doubt
full" unknown" etc., according to
how the committee regards his
standing as a true American. These
will be recanvassed from time to
time, and supplemented in every
wav possible. The list will serve as
a basis for all future war activities
in this community, and after It's
fnal revision will be placed In the
h--ac of the civ and county au-
thorities, who will appoint members
to keep a strict watch on suspected
parties.
When the meeting is called the
plan will be explained in full, and
the organization will be made per-
manent.

 Some of the new blouses, espe- cially those which go on over the head. have attractive style features.

People Are Making Money and Are Banking It
 Is Opinion of
 Northerner.

SEATTLE, March 5.-Alaska is now enjoying prosperity on a more stable basis than ever before, ac. cording to D. Vutetich, an officer of the Bank Of Anchorage, and the AL aska Importing Company, who is a guest at the Frye Hotel. He will leave within few days for San Francisco on business mission, says the Times.
 "The people of Alaska are making money and they are banking 1t, as is very clearly shown by the increase in the banking business" said Mr. Vutetich. The Bank of Anchorage has increased to twice it's former size, both in deposits and outside business. and is preparing 10 move into its new concrete buildrg with. in a few months.
 Farmers of the North are begin. ming to realize excellent returns from their crops-potatOes and beets be- ing the most important products of the Northern farmers. The mining and the fishing industries are grow ing rapidly and plans are now under way by the government to improve the hGrbor of Anchorage, and with the advent of labor and capital every prospect points to one of the biggest years Alaska has ever experienced" "

chcmise type remain the favorito models for sport wear, and probably will continue to be for some time
 to come. Such clothes are partic- ularly suited to the American wo- man and her type of figure, as well as to her love for outdoor pleasures.
 We are sometimes criticised for
 wearing sport clothes to such a great extent, but since it Is sport that the middle and upper class so in for. naturally we seize the Par is models which are designed on these lines in preference to the more dressy models for which we have much less frequent use.
 IL is a curious fact that Ameri- cans like even their evening dresses simple and feel more at home in them. That is why the unprcten- tious models sell more quickly. More lovely ones, honestly admired and enthused over by American wo- men at the openings, are, never theless, left to hang on the hooks tiIl dusty and worn, in the shops showing them.
 There is not so much complaint as one would imagine about these new sport clothes which slip over the head.
 There is not so much chance of musing up your hair as you would think" heard one wo- man say to another in a shop "The slashes are so deep that there is plenty Of room and you soon get the habit of slipping through them safely, for there are no entangling hooks and eyes"
 This is true. If there are any slash fastenings they are ribbon or of bias strings which tie and unite easily.
 The lowest terms to which l wardrobe can be reduced is spring | suit, with a couple of silk wash l able blOuses-Or, instead, one piece dress, with a couple of nice cOllars-a couple of hats, which | may be bought in the shops where the trimming is done free; thin dark cotton voile dress for the in- -ensely hot summer days in town, .opcoat, which serves for a motor, street and evening raincoat-which is the beauty of the lightweight 'elouds de laiues-and hand turn ed boots and shoes. Fabric gloves serve for every day wear.
 Between these two extremes there sre many grades of allowance made 70 or by women for dress.
 It is well to remember, however, hat any girl or woman can have a 'eputation for being chic on the mall as we'll as the other extreme 'f dress allowance. for chic is the rt of putting on and wearing lothes so as to show them to their test advantage.
