The secretary of the second excmp- tion board today received notice from the commandant at Camp Devens ex- plaining that three New Britain mem bers of the National Army have been discharged as enemy aliens They are Privates Adolph Sixt, Joseph Jakel and John Seremet-
 Of this trio Private Sixt is the only man sent from the second district. He is an Austrian Dy birth and lived at 3s Woodland street. When he went to Camp Devens on October 4 the United States had not severed relations with Austria-Hung;l1'y, so a1 thaa hlne he was not classed as an enemy alien.
 The two other men discharged were sent from the first district. They are both Austrians and went to camp last October.
 It was explained today that while three more men will have to be sent to take the places of these discharged soldiers, it is not necessary that they be sent at once, unless three drafteeS wish to go now.

Washington, March 1.--The fuel a7ministration's recent closing order WAS defended in the house today by Representative Rainey of Illinois, who declared that ~when the entire story is told there would be members Of the house who would be glad to ex- plnge from the record, if they could, speeches they made immediately after the coal orders promulsatlon."
 The representative asserted too much already had been disclosed re- garding military movements.
 Not only was coal shipment falling off by the middle of January, he as serted, but shipment of steel plate and steel bars needed for the great new fleet the United States is build ing had fallen off 50 per cent. More alarming still, he added, was the fall- ing off in shipment of proJecule steel, needed for munitions. This had fallen of by the middle of January t5 per cent.
 Relief Felt Immediately.
 He said the relief brought about by the heatless Monday order was immediately apparent and as a result 4SO ships have been loaded and coaled since January IT, Forty ot them were loaded with food, II With coal oil and gasoline and 369 with munitions and nearly every one has safely reached it's destination and the supplies are being distributed to the armies in France.
