It 1 is imperative that alien enemies shall secure these permits, according tit , ihe sheriff, in the event they are to' enjoy the liberties of their more for- ! innate brothers. District Attorney George Nenner 1 Mated this morninr that the procla mation of the President with regard . to the movements of alien enemies is very plain, and i' is the intention of the officers to enff.rce it to the letter.
