All Eiust remember that we a:e at war and that the enemy is not only on he front but in our very midst. The enemy here is not in uniform, well armed and engaging in open warfare, but he is spy ready to do anything to help Germany and the thwart the movements of the United States. For that reason We have law rigidly en- forcing certain requirements about the sale and the storage of powder. For violation of this law there is a pen alty of $5,OOO, one year imprisonment, or both. No explosives or ingredients can be sold without licenses. No eN- p,osives can be handled without L. censes are held by the men so em- ployed. Explosives must be kept in magazines, under certain restrictions and guards. To explain the full work ings of the law is the reason l am making this territory now. expect to remain here for a week or ten days and will gladly give all information regarding the law to those who en' quire."
