Barred Zone. New York, June 2. (United Press) America's heaviest blow at alien enemies in New York fell today when the U. S. marshal's order forbidding Germans to enter 20 barred zones around armories and naval militia sta tions in this city became effective. Between 15,000 and 20,000 males over 14 years of age are hit, it is estimated. The zones are of half mile radius. Hundreds of permits were issued to Germans who had lived for years in the prohibited districts and bore good reputations, to persons employed there who could get forceful recommenda tions from their employers and to those who faced ruin if unable to enter the zones to conduct their business, Those who obtained special permis sion to continue living in the districts cannot be visited by German friends, as no permits were granted "for social purposes." The forbidden areas in some instances took in German iclubs, restaurants and hotels. Under the rule, enemy aliens can pass through the zones on public conveyances, but cannot alight en route. Germans with out permits caught in the barred disr tricts will be interned. ern'ment will need for army and navy 'uses at whatever price may be fixed. This information was telegraphed to Wiashington D. C, after a meeting of a committee of the Western Pine Manufacturers' association, repre senting nearly 50 mills and an annual production of 1,500,000,000 feet. "We shall not suggest to the government any price on the lumber to be . fur nished from this district," said J. P. McGoldrick of the McGoldrick Lum ber company, Spokane. "We are ready to do our share and any price fixed by the government will be ac ceptable to us. We will be prepared at every mill represented! in the as sociation to rush orders for govern ment, purposes." A committee-. of eight was appointed to make an ap- portionment- among the , association members of such orders as the gov ernment wishes to place. The appor tionment will be placed upon the ca pacity of the plants .and their ship ping facilities. The members are H. H. Hornby, Dover, Idaho;. A. W. Laird, Potlatch, Idaho; R. M. Hart, Coeur d'Alene, Idaho; W. C. Lubrecht, Bonner, Mont.; J. F. Fcnnessy, Lib by Mont.; J. P. McGoldrick; Thomas A. McCann, Bend,. Ore.; and D. C.

WANTED TO FIGHT Buenos Aires, June 1 (United Press) The Argentine view is that the Unit ed States is going to war rather be cause she has a good excuse than be cause she has a good reason. The Argentines who do think the United States has an adequate reason are al so of the opinion that this reason was not the consideration which led her in to war. It is generally their judgment that the United States wanted to fight. They believe the United States to be a victim of the same sort of psycho logical influence which, after the com mission of a sensational crime or a suicide, often causes the incident to be imitated by others. I Thnv pall attention to the flirt that ! T Vi A maiinana nr. aianfinff nni. ! jversal military service, food control and other big changes in the inter jests of the national service. The Ar I gentine idea is that North Americans actually want to suffer hardships and privations because other people are doing so. That is why Argentine is rather chilly toward the attitude North America has taken. Baker, June 2. (Special) The most wonderful strike in, the history of mining in this district has been made at the Irondyke copper mine at Homestead, where reports of the opening of a 125-foot wide ore body, reaching here the past few days, were confirmed by General Manager Emmett Galligan, who was in the city yesterday. Carrying gold values of $12 to the ton, five per cent cop per and two ounces in silver, with the wonderfully large ore body, the pros pects are beyond calculation, seeh and attested to by well known mining men and corroborated by Mr. Galligan who, while not reticent to discuss the property now that tangible results, are manifested, has always been loatli to boost the property and pessimistic rather than otherwise in his views. "All that can be said of it is not too much," was the way ho summed it up yesterday. With the large ore body carrying the values noted, the Iron dyke will become one of the greatest copper mines in the country, or the world in fact, and that it will be an other United Verde is the confident belief of mining men who know the facts, which have been checked and corroborated by several disinterested experts. That the wonderful dis covery means a great mine on Snake river and a smelter Boon, is an as sured fact." Diplomat Arrives at Portland. Portland, Ore., Juno 2.
