ESPIONAGE ACT
NOW OPERATIVE
IN CAL L|F0RN|A

(By Associated Press

Washington, June 7.-Enactment of
the espionage act, just become opera
tive, under which stringent action may
be taken against disloyalty or sedition
adds the United States to a long list
of nations which have been forced by
German propaganda or internal disaf-
fection to invoke the extreme powers
of law for their existence.
Short shift is made of persons in
Great Britain, France, Italy and the
other allied countries, who attempts
to foment rebellion or betray the state
to the enemy. Great Britain's colo
nies under their system of self gov
ernment have followed the example of
their mother country in fighting dis
loyalty, recognizing that the liberties
of the world depend upon vicetory in
the present war.
Amendments to the War Precau-
tions Regulations of Australia, receiv-
ed in official dispatches today, show
the far reaching steps taken by that
commonwealth against sedition. The
Sim Fein organization is outlawed by
name and drastic powers are given to
the minister of defence to close clubs
or placts of resort of the Sim Fein or
other disaffected societies. The regu-
lations said in part:
"Any person who, by word of mouth
or in writing, or by any act or deed
(a) advocates. incites or encourages
disloyalty or hostility to the British
Empire, or to the cause of the British
Empire in the present war; or (b) ad-
vocates the dismemberment of the
British Empire, or who saws, or does,
anything calculated to incite, encour-
age or asst such disloyalty or histili-
ty, shall be guilty of an offense
against the act.
"The minister may direct that any
premises used as a ploce of public re-
sort. or as club, the use of which,
in his opinion, is preiudicial to the
safety or the defence of the common
wealth, shall be ktpt closed.
"Any person who wears or displays
any badge, flag, banner. emblem or
symbol, of a country with which the
King is now at war, or anybody or as
sociation who are disaffected to the
British Empire, or of the society, as
sociation or movement known as Sim
Fein, shall be guilty of an offtnce
against the act.
"Any officer of police and any police
thereto authorized in writing by the
minister, may, for the purpose of en-
forcing the provisions of this regula-
ton, enter, need bt by force. and
search and occupy any premises in re-
lation to which a direction has been
