ST. Paul. Feb. 5.--All orders OF
Minnesota's Public Safety commission,
excepting those establishing the Motor
corps, the Home guard and providing
for peace officers, are no longer in
effect. They ceased to be operative at
midnight.
The orders, rescinded by tie com
mission at its meeting, include those
affecting control of the liquor traffic,
dance halls, pool halls and cabarets.
Three weeks ago the commission no.
tilted the Legislature that 1t would re
scind its orders on Feb. 4 unless the
lawmaking body had enacted them into
law by that date. The Legislature did
not act. Instead, the state senate
asked that the orders be continued for
a period of 10 days.
The commission adhered to its or
iginal purpose of resembling the orders
unless the legislature had acted. 1t
signed an order revoking all of it's or

WOULD GUST ALL ALIENS
Includes Those Who Took Out
First Papers and Claimed
Exemption

At a meeting of all the draft boards
of the state of Washington, held in
Seattle, a resolution was unanimous
~ adopted providing that all aliens
in this country. both those who have
declared their intentions of becoming
citizens and those who have not, and
who claimed exemption from the draft
on those grounds, be deported Coun-
ty Auditor C.. l.. Kennedy was in re
ceipt of copy of this resolution in
which the Washington boards ask
that all draft boards in the country
back this scheme.
County Auditor Kennedy considers
this an excellent plan. II appears
that no aliens were refused admis-
sion to the army save German aliens
but no person, not citizen could be
forced to serve. MANY men who had
taken out their first citizenship papers
claimed exemption from serving the
country in which they were asking to
become citizens. simply because they
were not obliged TO serve. The
