BANON, ALIEN
ENEMIES TO BE
RIGID IN D. G.
District Attorneys Office
Serves Warning No Ex-
ceptions Permitted.
Alien enemies. beware.

Amen enemies, beware.
Keep out of the District of Co.
lumbia- Don't even come near the
District line. If you do you will
be locked up instantly.
Such is the warning OF the United
States Attorneys ONCE issued yes
terday after investigating the cases
of two aliens who deliberately vio-
lated the law.
Assistant United states Attorney
Arth said yesterday, in talking to
Frederick Xander. an alien who left
the city December Is only to come
back again. that his office has got
ten tired of warning aliens that the
exclusion act must be obeyed to the
letter and that no excuses will be
taken any more.
Xander's act was a deliberate vio-
Iation. the authorities say. and he
was sent to the District Jail. The
man. who formerly lived at 1871
Conduit road, pleaded homesickness
for his wife and babies.
He had coached his family as to
what to do in case he was appre-
hended and they assisted him to
hide, the authorities say.
This is his second trip to Wash
ington. He stayed in Baltimore for
a while and. according to his story,
he failed to secure work and took
a chance and came back to Wash
ington-
Another alien, Joseph Obrecht,
said to be an Alsatian was inform
ed by Marshal Splain yesterday that
his joining an Alsatian society, Of
which the French Ambassador is
president. did not make him a
Frenchman, and he must go out
with the rest Of the German sub
jects.
Obrecht came back to Washing
ton after a visit to New York City
and again took up the occupation
of a chef. He was placed on the
train for Baltimore.

NENANA MINES HAVE STARTED
 TO SHIP GOAL

NENANA, June 13.-Two hundred tons of coal have been mined near the mouth of Lignite creek, in the Nenana field by Van Houton & White The firm has a contract to furnish the Alaskan engineering commission with 200 tons of coal, ITO of which have been hauled to the government rail road right-of-way, forty-three miles south of Nenana. The coal is used for steaming purposes in a piledriver engaged in bridge work at the Nenana river crossing, and is giving satisfac- tory results.
 The coal of the Nenana field is liz nite of fair grade. While it is not suitable for export it will furnish a valuable and much-needed fuel in DOT tions of Interior Alaska that are now dependent on scanty and expensive supply of wood
 The uses of Nenana coal probably will be as locomotive fuel on the gov ernment railroad, for power and thaw- ing at the mines in the Panama val ley, as domestic fuel in the Panama valley, and as river boat fuel on Tan ana river boats, and possibly on some of the Yukon river steamers.
 The Nenana coal field has been sur veyed and divided into leasing units, and a public offer to lease, under the act of October 20, 1914, and regula- tions hereunder, was issued Febru- ary 13, 1918. The area offered for leases comprises approximately 19,OO0 acres of land, divided into twenty three units, ranging from 160 to 1,664 acres each A lease under the law cannot exceed 2,560 acres, ana may include one or more contiguos leas- lre units.
 The units constitute the more ac- SCooiplC ctliu DlludDlP DdTLS of the surveyed lands of the Nenana field, and are situated in the valley of Lignite creek, tributary of the Ne mana river, extending up the creek from it's mouth for a distance of twelve miles. The mouth of the creek is on the approved surveyed route of the government railroad from Seward to Fairbanks, at a point about 364 miles from Seward and about 106l miles from Fairbanks.
 Geologists who have examined the field report that the coal occurs in many beds of various thicknesses up to thirty or thirty-five feet, there be- ing at least twelve beds of workable thickness, of which probably at least six are more than twenty feet thick. The coal bearing rocks are only gen. tly folded and are not known to be cut by any intrusive rock.

Boursteff at the beginning of the war was living in Paris as a refu gee. He immediately returned to Russia to offer his services to the government against Germany. He was arrested the moment he reached Rus sian soil and sent to Siberia. After year there he was released on the intercession of President Poincare of France. He returned to Petrograd where he opposed the Bolsheviki and when the revolution broke out he was imprisoned in the fortress of St. Peter and St. Paul. After four months i'm prisonment he escaped and reached Helsingfors whence he came to Swe' den.

AMERICAN BOYS MAKE HIT
 WITH BRITISH PAPERS

LONDON, May II (by MaiD.-The high esteem in which England holds the American soldier and sailor is reflected almost daily by the London press. One paper devotes a long ar ticle to American qualities as exhi- bited by Fireman M, champion light heavyweight boxer, of the U. S.. navy. The writer watched him in a contest with the champion of the British grand fleet
 "Onc was forcibly reminded" he says. "how exceedingly impolite We are on the surface-and how thoroughly good-natured. The latter quality was responsible for the applause which greeted the appearance of the Amer ican-applause far louder than that &C., corded to our own champion
 "It swelled into roar as he sprang up on the stage where the ring was fixed. It is not the custom in the British navy for even a popular favor ite t. acknowledge the cheers which greet him. The correct procedure is for him to dive quickly into his corner, where his seconds immediately sur round him and hide him from view
 "Not so the American. He merely did what he was accustomed to do at home-paused, solitary figure in well-worn dressing gown, and then he bowed-not as an hotel manager or shopwalker bows, but with his little shy bows which were quite a delight to those who knew something of his battling reputation.
 "The American did not win. he fought magnificent, clean fight. and was beaten on points. But it was good to see the real pleasure with which he congratulated the better man."

RUSSIA DOES NUT WANT PEACE
 AT ANY PRICE

STOCKHOLM, June 13.-Belief that the people of Russia want, above all take, asserts Vladimir Bourtseff, a mo- ted Russian former, former revolu- tionary and newspaper man who has arrived here from Finland.
 "The Bolsheviki threaten the total destruction of Russia" said Bourtseff to a writer in the Dagens Nyheter. They attained power by the help of the Germans and by the same means are maintained in power. Bolshevik- ism is a danger not only for Russia but for the whole world and 1t is necessary that the supporters of it's doctrines should be thorougly defeat ed. Russia cannot be saved so long as the Bolsheviki are in control. I am convinced they can be conquered and I hope it will not be long before they are suppressed.
 What Russia needs is a govern ment composed of Democrats and Ca dets Constitutional Democrats) with a man like Korniloff or Milyukoff at its head. The idea that the land above all things wishes peace at any price is a mistake. This would be made plain under another government which, unlike the present, was not de- pendent on German support"
