{. 8. ALASKA ON
FIRST TRIP To
ANCHORAGE

On its first trip of the year to An
chorage, the steamship Alaska sailed
from Cordova last evening with a
large cargo of perishables and other
shorts If the boat is not able to
get through to Anchorage within a
few days it is probable that it will
return to COrdOva and discharge the
Anchorage cargo, as the Seward dock
is so congested that it will be impos
sible to unload there. Whether OF
not it is able to get through, the
Alaska will be back in Cordova the
latter part of this week, according tC
the agent
Passengers leaving Cordova for the
westward were:

 ti0n of the Law

Washington, June 5.-President Wilson today extended the list of enemies of the United States under powers of the trad ing with the enemy act, to take in a humber of classes that heretofore have not come within operation of the law. Under his proclamation the following are designated as enemies:

 All persons whom the allied nations at war with the Central Powers have found 1t necessary to interne or hold as pris- oners of war.
 All persons, citizens of enemy coun- tries who have assisted in the dissenii- nation of German propaganda, or in plotting, or intriguing against the United States, or the government of any of the allied nations.
 All individuals, citizens of neutral coun- tries, whom the war trade board may hereafter formally name on the enemy trading list.
 All citizens of enemy countries, no matter where they reside now, who have resided within the territory of enemy powers since August 4, 1914.
 The proclamation requires officers of corporations and trustees within the United States to furnish within 30 days to the alien property custodian a list of whatever holdings there are whose ownership includes individuals within the newly classified list of enemies. Debtors
