Gigantic Task Faces Palmer

America. Here they have a chance
to prove which. All those who have
any such information and reporeit will
be protected. Their names will not
be made public, nor will their identity
be revealed in any further proceedings
which may be instituted by this office.
Il herewith call upon all citizens or
friends Of the government who have
any knowledge of property being held
by any person, for, or on account of
an alien enemy, or of a transfer of
such property to another, or Of any
debts owing by any person to an alien
enemy, or of persons who are officers
or directors of corporations Of which
any of its capital stock is owned by
anyone defined as an enemy or who
may have custody, or control Of any
property, either alone or with others
who may be classed as alien enemies,
to come forward and make full re-
port or give this office any clues that
may locate such property.
"In doing this they will not only be
performing their duty, but will be rem
dering valuable service to the United
States and the men Of the army and
navy who are to fight for US and our
institutions"
The bureau of investigation, which
has charge of preparing the cases
against violators Of the trading with
the enemy act, has been quietly gather
ing evidence on a large number of
cases for the past six weeks. The
taking over by the government of the
large German plant of the Schultz &
Koertting company of Philadelphia,
Pa, recently was done at the insti-
cation of this bureau.
Who Is an Enemy.
Who is an enemy? Every person
or corporation having the custody or
possession of any property, or having
a beneficial interest in any property
belonging to anyone living within the
boundaries of Austria, Germany, Bull
garia, or Turkey, or within any terri
tory now occupied by the military
forces Of these countries Is an alien
enemy. Such persons must report
such property or interest, or lay them
selves open to the penalties provided
by the act, which are a fine Of not
more than $4,000 or Imprisonment
for not more than ten years, or both.
An American citizen in Germany
may be an enemy under the act Thus
American heiresses who married Ger
man husbands have their incomes from
the United States cut off. A citizen
Of Germany. on the other hand, who
peacefully resides in this country,
obeys the law, and does not engage In
correspondence or trading with persons
within the enemies lines or in per-
nlcious activities against the U. s. A.
escapes any interference with his prop
erty. All aliens interned by the war
department, however, are enemies.

CONDUCTOR SHOPS EN- ROUTE
Pittsburgh Trolley Pilot Stops Car 20
Minutes to Buy Sugar at Gro
Gerry Store.

Pittsburgh, PA new species Of
traffic delay was experienced by pa
irons of the Pittsburgh Railways COM
pany on an outbound Avalon street
car while it was passing through Belle
vue. The car stopped in front of a
grocery and the conductor disap-
peared. Passengers waited many
minutes, meanwhile craning necks in
vain to ascertain the cause of the "tie-
up" Just as one man was about to
leave the car, saying he wanted to get
to his destination some time that day,
the conductor hoped aboard the car
with bundle of groceries. 1T took
me twenty minutes to get a pound of
sugar in that store" he said. Where
upon he gave "two bells" and the car
moved onward.

WHY CHART LACKED DETAIL
Wife Found 1t Simply Impossible to
Put Down All the Remarks
Hubby Had Made.

A physician needed a nurses medi-
cal chart, but had none at hand. The
mans wife was nursing him, so he
drew lines on a sheet of paper to rep
resent chart. He instructed the wife
how to fill it out and left.
Next day the physician called, looked
at the chart and was puzzled to find
so many remarks registered, far re-
moved from things medical--remarks
most irrelevant, in fact. He asked an
explanation from the wife-and he got
it! Wifey mOtioned the physician to
follow her into the adjoining room,
whispering to him that she did not
wish husband to hear the apology she
must make for him.
"You see, doctor, couldn't put down
all the remarks he made, even If you
did want to know them. I'm awfully
-you--see-he used so
many swear words about you, doctor,
because you wanted to know every
word a man said.'"

TO MORSE UNMOLESTED
Germany Has Selfish Motive In Per-
hitting American Supplies to
Pass.

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES sailing between
America and Norway outside the dan
ger zone and not touching British ports
lately have not been attacked by Ger
mans, probably more in their own In
terests than for any special love of
Norway. Germany for a long while
has not been able to send food to Nor
way and as far as known has not
promised to do so.
German vessels sailing to Norway
must now have provisions, oil and kerr
osene for the whole round trip. Some
great Norwegian factories producing
articles for export to Germany are run
by German coal oil and kerosene, as
are fishing vessels obtaining fish for
export to Germany.
Norway at present receives from
Germany steel and iron for construc-
ton and is absolutely dependent on
Germany for the import of potassium
compound kainite.

PARIS EATS MORE HORSES
Prices Rise From 20 to 40 Cents for
Ordinary cuts-SuppIy From
British.

Paris.-A more extended sale Of
horse meat is counted upon by the city
authorities to relieve the provisions
market. The sale Of horse flesh for
many years has been considerable in
the poorer quarters of Paris. 1t has
increased considerably during the war.
Last year 1884 horses were killed at
the Vanguard slaughter houses. The
increased supply of horse meat had no
depressing effect upon prices, however.
The British army is now the chief
source of supply. More than 10000
horses were received from that source
last year, yet the prices went from the
equivalent Of % cents a pound to 40
cents for ordinary cuts and from As to
so cents a pound for the choice.

THE NATIONS CAPITAL A POWER.
Full PROHIBITION ARGUMENT.

People can say what they please
about prohibition. but if there was ever
an argument In favor of it Washington,
D. c., is that argument says the At
lanta (Ga.) Constitution.
"0fiiclal veriflcation of the wonder
fully improved conditions in Washing
ton under prohibition Is furnished by
the superintendent of police for the
District of Columbia, officers of the AS
ISOLATED Charities, business men and
Salvation Army heads. They ought to
know! One of them reported that in
one district during the saloon regime
they had - nonsupport cases week.
Under the dry regime but one. In spite
Of the unusual war conditions, those
who visit the poor testify that the chill
dren are better clothed and better fed
than formerly.
"On every street the stores are
crowded. AT the Central market two
weeks after the saloons were abolished
one tradesman said We are sold out
People seem to have more money and
buy better goods since the saloons were
closed
"A Salvation Army man, manager of
the Industrial Home, said, 1T may be
necessary to close this part of the es-
tablishment because there is such
scarcity Of down and outs" owing to
prohibition He said he had it straight
from the OccoQuan workhouse that
there are not enough men in the insti-
tuition at present to do the work and
take care of the stores. While about
200 men used to be sent to the prison
every Monday morning by the courts
of Washington for drunkenness, and
petty crimes arising out of drunken
ness, but few are sent there now. He
knows this, because it is his duty to
either go in person to the prison every
day or send representative to take
care of the men who show disposi-
ton to lead better life. But he says
so few are going in now, that for sew
eral days he has had no one to meet
coming out"

Had 70 REGISTER.

A negro lad, one of the dusky kind
that come up from the South, appeared
at a local draft board recently and In
qulred for a QUESTIONABLE.
"How old are you?" he was asked
and his answer was: Eighteen"
ut wasn't necessary for you to regis
ter for the draft" he was told.
"Not necessary! Man, you don't
know that town where All registered.
All was working on the street when
two big cops grabbed me and said,
'Niggah, you beat it over there and
registah or Wen beat yoh haid.'"

The thought that / cannot put
away now is that whatever l
might save now and fail to save
now may be a hundred times
the worst waste I shall ever have
committed though / have, like
most Americans, many past
wasteful habit to regret.
1t will be far the worst be-
cause not to save now is to
throw away the cooperation of
millions Of others; because not
to save now will tend to prolong
the war; because not to save
now will multiply the wars pri-
vations, lengthen it's death-rOll,
and the vast procession Of it's
MANNED men and will make saw
ing more difficult and less effec-
tive by and by when we shall
be compelled to save through
cruel conditions from which saw

Florida, mining metal in New Mexico,
running real estate offices and retail
stores, conducting commission houses
and public utilities In all parts of the
country.
All this does not mean that our gov
eminent is confscating outright the
property Of alien enemies. But just
now A. Mitchell Palmer, alien property
custodian, has the task of locating all
such property and so administering
it that its income may be turned into
the treasury Of the United States for
the purchase Of bonds to help prose-
cute the war against Germany and her
allies.
This property may be a partnership
in which persons residing in the terri
tory Of the German allies are f1nancl
ally interested. But whatever it is,
real estate, life insurance, railroads,
mines, stocks or bonds, it must all be
reported Also, all debts owed to Ger
mans or to her allies by Americans,
must be reported and paid to the alien
property custodian. Little or big, an
accounting is necessary.
One president of trust company
personally admitted to him, Mr.. Pal
mer said, that he held 100000 worth
of German securities in his vaults, and
when asked why he had not reported
it, naively offered the excuse that he
did not know there was any law which
required such report.
Another significant case was the
statement made by friend of bank
clerk, who said that he knew where
there was bundle Of bonds owned
by a former German consul, which
were regularly clipped and secretly
sent to an address In Sweden, and
from there relayed into Germany
where the owner now resided. When
asked why he did not report these
bonds, the friend Of the bank clerk re-
piled that he could not betray a con-
fiience.
Chance to Prove Loyalty.
'sThe time has GOMEZ said Mr.. Pal
mer, when every citizen has got to
decide whether to keep the confidence
OF friends and remain silent, or come
forward and give information that VIII
stop the flow Of money helping our
enemies in their efforts to crush the
United States. Persons holding any
such information are either loyal
Americans, or they are enemies to

SENDS OUT $. 0. S. IN VAIN
Passing Ships Feared Distressed Bark
to Be Enemy Raider and
Avoided Her.

San Enthusiastically leaking while
only few miles off Honolulu and In
danger of sinking, the American bark
Retriever failed to obtain help from
passing ships. which apparently feared
the bark to be an enemy raider, ac-
cording to Capt. John Ross, who has
arrived here.
The Retriever sent up distress sig
nails repeatedly but they attracted no
attention, Captain Ross said Federal
officials are investigating. After much
difficulty the Retriever made port, and
is now in drydock at Honolulu.

Rheumatism
For Csc.
Mr. Todv-R Relief or No Pay

There are three vital processes Of
human existence,-the digestion OF
food, the extraction of nourishment
from 1t and the elimination OF the
waste.
Let anything interfere with these
processes,-let them be interrupted or
Improperly carried on, and sickness
Of some kind follows. "a
Poor digestion and assimila- Y
zion means failure to derive
full nourishment from food and
that In turn often means iTn-
poyerished blood, weakness,
anemia, etc. Poor eliuiination
means an accumulation Of waste
matter which poisons the body, lowers
vitality, decreases the power Of re-
distance to disease and leads to the
development Of many serious ills.
Rheumatism,--due to some interfer-
ance with the process of elimination,
failure to get rid of certain body
poisons,-cannot be expected to yield

the condition responsible for It. Could
