LONDON. July 1.-The menace of enemy aliens living freely in England has been the text 0f newspaper agita- tion in the last two weeks more keen ly than any of the numerous anti-Ger- man waves of feeling which the coun- try experiences at frequent intervals since the war began
 The subject was discussed in the house of commons today. the house having before it the report of the com mittee of six which Premier Lloyd George appointed July s to consider the question and make recommends | tiOns. The home secretary, Sir George Cave, whose department has charge of aliens, said the principal recom- mendatiOns of the committees will be carried into effect.

 Such outrages as the sinking of hos pital ships, Sir George said. must af- feet the point of view from which the question was approached. If the enemy permitted acts of that kind. enemy must suffer in the estimate which all decent people formed Ot them.
 The government proposed. he said. 10 ask the committees in each county 10 undertake the revision of all exemp- tons from intemments in the case of men and exemptions from repatriation In the case of women.
 It was proposed to make rules that no person should during the war be
