Tan- Vis. one of s the Clear- water forest, was caught beneath a falling tree and killed instantly last night. The fires are two weeks earlier than those which made a furnace of the northwest in 1910.

L. Wat- kins, chief of the North Dakota Law Enforcement league. The council of defense so decided in’e tive ses- sion this week, when it rejected a mo- tion by Attorney General Langer that Mr. Watkins be made special inspec: tion, officer to make certain that the billiard men live up to'the law. The matter of closing during the harvest season, all or part time, also was left up to the billiard men, who had convinced the council that their association was anxious to clear the profession of the bad odor which has attached to it as any public body could be. Just. what will be done about har- vest time, in order that men nec! to the business may be released for work in the fields, will be brought up at the annual state convention in Mi- not July 10, when every billiard hall proprietor in North Dakota who is a member of the assciation is urged to attend. J. E. Regan of Mandan, president of. the state association, regards the council of defense action a victory for the organization, and he has as- sured the council that the billiard men’s association will religiously live up to the good works expected from it. BL We ENEMY ALIENS MAY BECOME U. 8S. CITIZENS Judge Nuessle Calls Attention to Special Provisions of New Act District Judge W. L. Nuessle calls attention to the fact that under a re- cent act of congress now in effect en- emy aliens who declared their inten- tion of becoming citizens not less than two and not more than seven years ago, or who were at that time entitled to become a citizen without declaring intention .may proceed with their nat- uralization, provided a ninety-days no- tice is given the commisisoner or dep- uty commissioner of naturalization. and providing further that the latter does not file an objection. The new act specifically provides that none of its clauses shall be construed to in- terfere with or prevent the apprehen- sion and removal, by law, of any alien enomy at any time previous to the actual naturalization of such alien. The new act does permit enemy aliens who had declared their intentions and who have given promise of becoming Good citizens to embrace the stars and stripes as their flag. Formerly no sub- ject of a country with whom America was at war could become a United States citizen. UY WS.
