GERMAN ENI1NIY PROPERTY.
Plans Being Devised to Dispose OF All
Such Holdings.

Washington, March 7.-Plans to
break up the vast holdings Of Ger
man interests in the United States
and place them in other hands so
that after the war they cannot con-
tinue to be what have been character
ized as outposts OF German kultur in
America, were presented to Congress
to-day by A. Mitchell Palmer, the
alien property custodian, and unani-
mously approved BY the Senate ap-
preparations committee.
Mr.. Palmer asked, and the COM
mittee agreed, that legislation
should be attached to the urgent de-
ficiency Dill empowering him to sell
these properties to any private inter-
ests--but not to the United States
gOvernment-the proceeds to be held
in the treasury until after the war.
Whether the German owners would

the committee was told is subject to

United States to win the war.
The committee, by party vote,
however, with Republicans opposing,
also approved an amendment to au-
thorize the President to take legal
title to the German steamship piers
and property at Hoboken, N. j. The
Republicans opposed 1t, fearing that
it might lead to government owner

ANOTHER HUNDRED MILLION
VIII he Raised for Relief Work.
Campaign May q to 13.

The week OF May to May 13, in
elusive, has been set aside by the
War Council of the American Red
Cross for the next war drive, in which
500, 100000 will be raised to carry
on the relief work of the Red Cross
all over the world, according to the
announce ment Of Henry p. Davidson,
chairman Of the council, which has
just been made public. This amount
will be apportioned to the thirteen
country according to the population
and wealth of the section, and every
penny of it, with the addition Of in
terest, will be devoted to the work
Of relief for which it is given.
Asa G. Gambler, Of Atlanta, has
been appointed chairman of the War
Drive Committee for the Southern
Division, and will supervise the work
in the five States that comprise the
division--Georgia. Florida, the two
Carolinas and Tennessee.
or the 500, 100000 raised by the
Red Cross in its last drive in the
summer of 1917, about $4,000, 900
have already been appropriated for
relief work in this country and in
Europe, so that another campaign Is
necessary if there IS to be no gap in
this work Of mercy. Out Of this the
largest single appropriation has been
made for work in France. for which
more than $30,000,00O has been set
aside, including every branch Of mill
tary and civilian relief. Large ap-
preparations have also been made for
work in Belgium, England, Italy,
Russia, Rumania, Serbia and Arme-
MIA, as well as for relief work among
the American prisoners In Germany
and for both military and civilian re-
lief In this country.
The War Council is confident that
the account they have rendered of the
way in which the last $10O,0OO,000
have been spent, as we'll as the cause
they represent, will make the rails
ing OF the next 500. 100000 an easy
task.

DRY ZONES ABOUT CAMPS.
Dry Territory Increased from Half
Mile to Five Miles Wide.

Washington, March 6.-Dry zones
five mills vide, irrespective of incor-
porated cities and towns within those
limits, are placed around seven per-
manent naval training posts and the
Naval Academy of Annapolis, Md, in
general order announced to-day by
Secretary Daniels.
A statement accompanying the or
der indicated that the new restric-
tions might be made to apply to other
camps or stations later, but for the
present the order applies only to the
following:
Camps Affected.
Under the authority Of the select
i've service law the Secretary forbids
the sale or giving away Of liquor
within five miles of the Great Lakes
training station, near Chicago; the
training stations at Norfolk, Va, and
Hampton Roads, the training camp at
| Mare Island, Cal, and the marine
stations at Quantico, Va, Newport.
r. l., and Port Royal, s. G.
Meaning OF Order.
Within the five-mile zone, under
! authority of the Selective Service
Act the Secretary forbids the sale or
| giving away Of any alcoholic liquor,
including wine or beer, or the i'm
portation OF such liquor except for
medical or sacramental purposes. AS
the army has done in its regulations,
an exception is made OF the serving
of liquor in a private home to guests
or members Of the family.
In his statement explaining the or
der, Mr.. Daniels said it had become
necessary to protect young sailors
| gathered for training. He referred
at length to conditions at Newport
and at Vallejo, Cal, near the Mare
Island station, which he said the To-
cal authorities had been vainly urged

Frequent Complaints.


ment, "the evils resulting from the
presence Of intoxicating liquor in the
vicinity Of certain places under ma
val jurisdiction has been brought re-
peatedly to the attention Of the de-
partment. BY various means this IL
quor finds its way into the possession
of enlisted men Of the navy and ma
~rine corps stationed at these places,
and the moral and physical welfare
Of these men is thus being seriously
endangered.
"A so-called dry zone of only a
half-mile in width surrounding these
stations would be ineffective mas
much as, in certain cases, Il consider
able area in which the objectionable lie
trade in liquor tiourishes would not
thus be covered. 1t is, therefore, the
strong conviction of responsible Off
GERS on the spot that the dry zone
about these places should be the full
five miles in width, irrespective OF
the fact that an incorporated city or
town lies within such distance.
Amply Justified.
'rhe department strongly concurs
In these views and considers that
conditions amply justify the estab-
lishment Of such zones, which is most
earnestly recommended by all that
are interested in the efficiency and
welfare of the naval service"
Situation at Newport.
In speaking of Newport the depart
ment statement said:
"The representations have been
made by the authorities at the train
ing station that, in spite of every
effort on their part, and in spite OF
the detail Of numerous naval patrols

| Practically all Of the personnel at the
training station are young lads, very

SCENE IN CHURCH.
Ambassador Sharpe Describes Fear
full Destruction Wrought by Murder
Gus German Shell In Paris.

The horrible shamblcs caused by the
collapse of tons of masonry from the
vaulted arches of. the Paris church
bombarded by the Germans on Good
Friday is graphically described in a
paraphrasc of the report of the incl
dent by United States Ambassador
Sharpe, made public by the State De-
partment.
The statement says:
"Thc appalling destruction wrought
by the shell is probably not equaled by
any single discharge of any hostile
gun in the cruelty and horrors Of its
results. In no other one spot in Paris,
even where poverty had gathered on
that holy day to worship, could de-
struction of life have been so great.
Nearly 100 mangled corpses lying in
the morgue, attested to the measure Of
the toll exacted.
ear up to the high-vaultcd arches,
between the flying buttresses we'll to
the front of the church, is great
gap in the wall from which fell upon
the heads of the devoted wcrshipers
many tons of solid masonry. It was
this that caused such great loss of
life"
Mr.. Sharpe says that the eXcep-
tional circumstances under which this
tragedy occurred, both as to the sacred
character of the day and the place,
have greatly aroused the indignation
of the people of France toward an
enemy who seeks to destroy human
life without regard to the immunities
prescribed by the laws of civilization
and humanity, and, instead Of terror
izing the people, the shells of the great
cannon, as we'll as the bombs dropped
from the German airplanes, only
serve to strengthen the resolve Of the
French to resist to the last man, If
necessary, the invasion of such foe.
