Editorial Convention.
The Department of Justice desires to
correct an impression created by cer
tain wording appearing in an item rel
ative to privileges of alien enemios.
It would appear from the wording
that the granting of a permit to an
alien enemy to enter any particular
area or areas carries with itthepriv
of the President's proclamation of
April 6, 1917, carries with it the priv
ilege of moving at will within the district-
of the marshal granting the
privilege. Such is not the caso. A
permit granted to an alien enemy by a
marshal to go within any forbidden
tvrea or areas crries with it the priv
ilege of going within such forbidden
area or areas only and of being en
gaged while therein in the activities
permitted by the permit, such permit
giving no right to go within any other
forbidden area or areas in the district.

Ethan Allen Enlists.
Butte, Mont., July 17. (iSpecial) ,
Ethan Allen, a direct descendant of i
the original Ethan Allen, of Fort Ti-
conderoga fame, was .accepted for
enlistment in the United States Ma
rine corps here, today. He has been
principal of a school in this state for
the last three years, and has also

days of American history when Fort
Ticonderoga was hold in turn by the
French and (British until finally cap
tured by his illustrious grandsire in
1775. It is another reminder of the
wiping out of old differences be

gether against a common enemy.
