a TACOMA, January 10 Associated
Press - Soldiers from Camp Lewis
will again be permitted to visit Seattle.
The ban against their going there was
lifted by the military authorities last
night when it had been satisfactorily
shown to them that Seattle had finally
aecCded to the demands that the city
should be elranscd of the vice and
temptation for the men of the national
army Of which the commandant had
complained. The long controversy is
now at an end.
The awakening of Seattle to its vice
conditions was sudden and unpleasant.
For time the mayor refused to be die
tvtcd to by military authorities, as he
expressed it. Organization sprung up
IN all directions. Business men who
might otherwise have been Indifferent
to the conditions of the city became
active when they found trade condi
tiOnS were ser Ously affected by the or
5ers issued 10 the mon of Camp Lewis
The c"mmandant was obdurate.
At first the progress of cleansing the
Augean stables was slow and difficult,
but once we'll under way it went for.

found enough improved to warrant a
withdrawal of the earlier order.

LONDON, January 1o-(Associated
Press ~ Representative Of British or

night in which they said the organiza.
lions which they represent give whole
hearted support to the speech deliver
ed by President Wilson to the congress
Of the United States Tuesday as it
has appeared in the public print of
Great Britain, which has been prac-
tiealiy in full in all of the larger pa
pers. " a.h
-. In all essential respects, the mani
festo says, the expressioUs of Wilson
are so similar to what has been put for
ward by British labor that it is not me-
eessary to discuss in detail the small
points Of difference.
In all Of the papers Throughout
Great Britain the war aims expressed
by President W ilson took most prom
incnt place In the news. Inlall Cepters
il was most IA orably received and edi-
toTial commentator of il was general.
One paper described. It as the " Magma
ChHrta that would bring about the
future peace of the. world."

RESTRICTIONS WILL

Legislation Will Prevent Machi-
nations of Women Enemies

WASHINGTON, January 10 sso!
ciated Press Extension Of the regu-
lations applying to the movements Of
enemy aliens so as to affect women an
well as men is expected soon. The
Legislation necessary for this is now
being drafted and leaders in both
houses of congress have assured the
department of justice that its enact,
ment will be prompt.
1t is argued by the department Of
justiS6 that ample reason has been
found for an cquaIs, supervision over
women with men, that they may be
quito. as dangerous and that the prob
lem OF preventing their cohspiring
against the United States is even more
ainiept Of handling, than is that of
the mate anemies. -,
