"To German Alien Enemies:
Attention is called to Regulation IS
of the President s Proclamation of Nov.
10Th, 1917, which is as follows:
"An alien enemy shall not approach
or be found within 100 yards of any
canal or within 100 yards of any
wharf, pier or dock used directly by
OF by means of lighters by any YES
Sc. or vessels of over 500 tons gross
engaged in foreign or domestic trade
other than fishing, nor within 100
yards of any warehouse, shed, eleva-
tor, railroad terminal or other ter
minal, storage or transfer facility adj
iacent to or operated in connection
with any such wharf, pier, or dock and
wherever the distance between any
two such wharves, piers, or docks,
measured along the shoreline connect
ing them, is less than $50 yards an
alien enemy shall not approach or be
found within 100 yards Of such shore
line.' ~
This is the formal order that has
been issued by United States Marshall
Samuel Randolph of this District who
has proclaimed that the restrictions
against alien enemies shall be in force
in this district, beginning today. The
order continues:
"Alien Enemies found within these
prescribed barred zones are liable to
summary arrest and all permits pre-
viously granted allowing access to
these water fronts are hereby revok-
ed and under no circumstances what
ever will alien enemies be permitted
to pass water front lines except as
passengers on public or private con-
veyances, or as pedestrians moving
from one part of the city or locality
tc another part of the city or locality,
for the purpose Of crossing bridges.
All German Alien enemies are ex-
pressly prohibited from lounging,
lettering or stopping upon any bridge
street or public way which is referred
to in these instructions !"
Postmaster German declared when
see today that he had not as yet re-
ceived from the United States Marshall
airy statement of specific boundaries of
| territories from which aliens will be
barred in Kenosha. On this account ii
| is believed that the general proclama-
tion of the President will be followed
here until such time as more specific
outlines for boundaries are given out
The strict enforcement of the pro-
| clamation would bar aliens from work.
irg in a number of the arge plants of
Kenosha. Postmaster German declar.
ed today that United States Marshall
Randolph had said that the order would
net be enforced until such a time as he
could come to Kenosha an make pro.
per arrangements. This was in refer
ence to the listing Of the ellen enemies
Under his order for the district the pro.
clfmation would become effective today
Germans who are working in factories
within the barred zones in Kenoshs
were not denied the right to work to
day and it is improbable that any order
to bar them will be made until sucI
a time as a more specific territory is
| set apart as barred zone by the
a nority of the United States Mar
shall.
The order is supposed to become eff
feetive in the Eastern District of Wis
consin today and the territory for bar
red zones has been established in sever
al of the cities of the district Most OF
the cities have been free from any dis
turbaLces on the part OF alien enemies
4 Kenosha is In this class as no case Of
trouble has been reported IN which any
alien enemy was connected. The orde.
| is however given out as a precautio1
and safe guard against possible out
breaks.
Kenosha has some three hundred am
fifty alien notwithstanding only un
naturalized Germans--and every one o.
these men and women viii be subjec
to the order.
