THERE ~ A DISTINCTION

The distinction between the terms
enemy allen" and allen enemy"
appears to be lost on large num-
her OF persons. who Use tho terms
inierohangeably as having the same
meaning. According 10 the Kansas
City Star, an enemy allen is any per-
son who Is n citizen or n subject OF
one OF the countries with which the
United States Is at war. So long as
he Is we'll behaved, observes ths
lava OF this country and neither by

to be only an enemy alien. and is
not regarded as dangerous but II
he engages or attempts to engage In
any overt acts against this country
his status changes to that Of alien
enemy. which puts him in the dan.
