acted laws which give the depart
ment much needed power
when all we could do to the
noted spy Won Rintelen was to
give him a brief Jail sentence and
fine for trying to have ships
blown up, you can see the neces-
sity of adequate new legislation.
When | tell you that until the
sabotage law was recently enact
ed, there was no adequate federal
law for the punishment of arson,
you can see how weak were the
laws.
Almost every day some enemy
alien who might do harm to our
country quietly disappears and is
taken to a detention camp. There
are people who think such mea
are proved to be German spies.
And they talk lightly about firing
squads.
DO Preventive Work
"They forget that our courts
are still functioning and that we
are not under martial law, nor is
this a time of invasion or rebel
lion.
They forget also that these
people we send to be informed
have not been caught violating any
laws. We aim to send them to
internment camps before and not
after they have done something
wrong. II any enemy alien blows
up a munition factory he would
presumably be sentenced to
death. But killing him would not
make good the losses to our sol
diers at the front by reason Of
that factory being destroyed. 1t
is much better to intern the man
who may commit mischief and
thus safeguard the factory. Where
we are in doubt as to an enemy
alien we give Uncle Sam the ben
eft of the doubt
ALSO take the charge that we
have frequently released enemy
aliens after interning them.
There have been just six such
cases.
"In one instance a dangerous
enemy alien was released from
custody because there was certain
vital information which we hoped
to get by paroling him for few
days, observing his actions and
remarks. After this had been
done he was re-interned for the
duration of the war. He had
been under close surveillance all

well just consider this: There
are in this country 100000
adult male aliens, to say nothing
of women and children. We have
been at war year and there has
been no sign of organized resis+-

Germans who might be willing to

there is no excuse on earth for

Who's Goat.

Mrs. Stolzi, 1920 So. Lawrence
ST., has got somebody's goat, and
she doesn't know whose it is. It's
sort of a goat-getting story all
thru, in fact it's all goat.
Mrs. Stolzi told the police
Monday morning that "a strange
goat was 'butting in around her
place, and she couldn't get it out"
Sc said it was butting into every
body and everything.
And one man told her that it
had butted h out of him when
he went in after it to try and get
it out. So now Officer Green
wood has gone out to see if he
can "get-the-goat's goat" and
bring it back to police headquar-
tiers.

licly given was that the little
actress had admirably succeeded
in her aims.
The success achieved by the
play in the hands of Miss Adams
is already known. This success
was expected, for those familiar
with Mr.. Barrie's past work were
certain that in undermining the
story of Cinderella he would have
such wonderful opportunity for
exercising his fancy droll quaint
ness and wealth of whimsical
humor that the effort could not
fail in winning much favor.
Apart from the worth of the
play Itself, the most gratifying
thing connected with it is that it
gives Miss Adams a role that she
moulds into one of the most
charming creations that she has
shown the public.

'there is no ground 70 fer as the re-
