Washington. — President Wilson
dealt a smashing biow to the enemy
alien within the boundaries of the
United States.
All alien enemies are required to
register and to obtain permits for
travel under a proclamation issued by
the President.
Enemies also are preéhibited ap-
proaching within 100 yards of water
fronts, docks, railroad terminals or
storage houses and are forbidden to
enter or reside in the District of Co
lumbia.
Only Germans will be affected by
the proclamation, as it specifies "ene
mies” and not “allies of enemies.”
The proclamation, issued as a sup
plement to the one declaring a state
of war with Germany, provides fur
ther that an alien enemy shall not,
except on public ferries,
“any ocean, bay, river or other wa
ters” within the United States. The)
are forbidden to fly in
balloons or airships and to enter t
Panama Canal Zone.
The proclamation orders
tions as follows:
“All alien enemies are hereby re
quired to register at such times and
places and in such manner as may
be fixed by the Attorney General of
the United States, and the Attorney
General is hereby authorized and di-
rected to provide as speedily as may
be practicable for registration of all
alien enemies and for the issuance
of registration cards to alien enemies
and to make and declare such rules
and regulations as he may deem
neceszary for effecting such registra
tion.
“All alien enemies
sons are hereby
registra
and all other per-
required to comply
with such rules and regulations; and
the Attorney General in carrying out
such registration is hereby authorized
to utilize such agents, agencies, of
ficers and departments of the United

The penalty for violation will be in-

Officials explained that the Govern:
ment’s action is not intended to be
vindictive and that Germans who
mean no harm to the United States
will not be molested. Under regula

not be required to report periodically
to officials. The regulations will be
promulgated within a few days, but
