Caught an Alien Enemy.

Last night Customs Inspector
A. G. Barber caught a German
attempting to cross the line into
Mexico, and he was taken into
custody as an alien enemy. He
is lodged in the county jail and
will be interned, very likely.
The name of the man is John
Anderson, and his birthplace he
gives as Kemet, Germany. He
admits having come out of Mex
leo from Mazatlan three times
in the past two months, and. he
was going back to the seaport
named when taken in by Inspec-
tor Barber last night.
When taken the alien enemy
had upon his person the tidy
sum of $285 in greenbacks, ma
tional bank notes and gold GER
tificates. The roll was fastened
on the inside of his drawers just
above the calf, back of the knee.

THE hour we have been waiting
for for four years is at hand, and it
witnesses the greatest triumph for
democracy the world has ever known.
A hundred years ago the power OF
autocracy fought the infant powers

hundred years has witnessed great
progress in world democracy, and
today at the end of the great con-
