The principal cities that will be affected by the last proclamation are New York, Chicago, Seattle, Tacoma and San Francisco." Casualty List. "WASHINGTON. Xov. 20. A roundup f suspected Germans, mainly in sea coast and lake port cities, is in progress today, under authority of President "Wilson's new proclamation forbidding alien enemies within 100 yards of docks, requiring their registration and impos ing other restrictions on their move ments. The intelligence bureaus of the Array and Navy have charge of making most arrests of Germans not evacuating the new barred zones. The Department of Justice will receive prompt reports and after allowing for full hearing will de termine those to be interned perma nently. Only a small percentage of the half million unnaturalized German men af fected by the President's proclamation will be arrested, officers explained, in discrediting rumors of the arrest and imprisonment of many thousands. A few Germans left Washington to day in compliance with the President's order making a barred zone of the Dis trict of Columbia, but the exodus at tracted little attention. Rules "Will Be Inancd. Rules to govern registration of alien enemies were practically completed by Attorney-General Gregory today and will be promulgated shortly. It was said that the Attorney-General might not exercise immediately the authority piven by the proclamation to require Germans to report regularly to public officials. Within a few weeks the Department of Justice expects to extend the 100 yard barred zone to a number of manu facturing plants, and the result will be to throw some Germans out of em ployment, but no widespread disturb ance in the industries is expected. Officials realize that most of the anti-war activities in this country are carried on by naturalized Germans or even mercenary or misled Americans whom the President's proclamation does not affect. They are handicapped also by inability to take any general action against suspected Austrians and other allies of Germany and against German women who in many cases are recognized as efficient gatherers of in formation valuable to Germany. tier ma nn Must Report. Washington police today were in structed to obtain from each German leaving the capital full information where he expects to go and a report wm be made to authorities of the local lty to which he is destined. Germans also were ordered to report immedi ately to the United States Marshal of the district to which they go. Tomorrow is the last day transient Germans will be allowed to be in the .District of Columbia, although an ex tension of time until December 15 has been allowed for those who were living Korms to be filled out by persona in possession of enemy property are being prepared and will be distributed in a few days, A. aiitchell Palmer, alien property custodian, today announced, and persons required to make out the reports are notified at once to apply for the forms. Failure to report as provided in the trading with the enemy act is punishable by imprisonment for not more than 10 years or a fine of not more than $10,000 or both. NEW YORK, Nov. 20. More than 20,000 persons in the metropolitan district will be affected by President Wilson's proclamation barring all male Germans from the vicinity of all places of military importance, accord ing to estimates made todav by Thomas D. McCarthy, United States Marshal. About 2000 soldiers will be required to guard New York's water front. Few of the 1000 alien enemies in this state are affected by the recent proclamation of President Wilson, en larging the prohibition territory with in wnicn they will be permitted with out a permit, according to United states District Attorney Reames. With only rare instances in Oregon, the conditions of the permits Issued aliens under the President's first proclamation meet the terms of the second proclamation. Alien Enemies in Portland 900. "There are in this state approxi mately 1000 alien enemies, of which 900 are in Portland," said Mr. Reames yesterday. "Ever since April 6, the date of the President's first proclama tion, we have conducted a careful campaign in every county to see that every enemy alien obtained a permit from the proper authorities. "In his second proclamation the President enlarges the prohibition territory within which enemy aliens will be allowed without a pass. The principal restriction imposed under the recent order is that no enemy alien ehall be permitted within 100 yards of any seacoast. pier or dock from which seagoing vessels are loaded. "This additional restriction will have very little effect in Portland, where the Armory is located in the center of the city, in view of the fact that the original provision forbidding enemy aliens within one-half mile of the Armory has been strictly enforced.

"The principal thing enforcement of the second proclamation will accom plish in this state is to make the num ber of enemy aliens in Portland ab solutely certain, since under the Pres ident's Inst order every alien will be WASHINGTON, Nov. 20.

That day, the greatest day of our race, after so many other days of grandeur, it is in our power to bring forth." Premier Clemenceau read his dec laration in a firm, clear voice. When he spoke of France's debt to the dead, his emotion was evidenced by the trembling of the sheets in his hand. His peroration-- was acclaimed by the whole chamber with the exception of certain unified Socialists.

Hollow Bracelets, Poison, Beautiful Women, German Plots Told Of. . NEW YORK, Nov. 4. Following a plea of guilty to a charge of white slavery made by Morns Wallack, as sistant District Attorney Smith made public the details of his etatement con cerning the Broadway white slave traf fic, in which Wallack declares that 25 men and 150 women are engaged. The story dealt with robbery, hold ups in Central Park, German intrigue, Mexican revolutions, spies and secret messages, and provided the ground work which District Attorney Swann announced would be made the subject of a special grand jury investigation. Wallack said there was in New York a very wealthy German who became enamored of a beautiful girl. He tried to get her to leave the gang and go away with him, but she refused. Finally he told her he wanted her to carry a message to a Mexican General and that $10,000 would be her reward. She was to travel to Mexico as the daughter of an elder companion and give the General a hollow bracelet she had been wearing. The girl was afraid it might be a plot to slay her because she had refused to flee with the German. Another member of the gang went to Mexico and in a few months returned to New York. She had a big roll of money as proof that the German had carried out the con tract. Smith eaid a witness has cor roborated this story. The hollow bracelet idea was new to the leaders of the gang, who saw in it big possibilities. So they provided the "knockout experts" with bracelets in wnicn was dope that could be re leased with a tiny spring. When the victim recovered consciousness his money would be gone. Wallack had been in the enslaving Dusiness only eight months, but he made as much as ?500 a week. Old timers, he eaid, did vastly better. ITALIANS CAPTURE 1200 (Continued From First Page.)

It was just back from the front line and the men still wore their helmets. Many of them were men of 20. They were sturdy country boys and inarched along seemingly unconscious of their glory. Lot of Gudh Captured. At the barracks they were counting Austrian rifles and guns gathered in the court. The line of captured ma chine guns looked like a collection of huge black grasshoppers. The bayonets were detachable, bowie knives with two-edged blades. General Euhereni, of the famous Bersaglierl brigade, which carried the day, came out to greet the party. He is a short, stocky man of : solute bear ing. On the cemetery road, where the Austrians advanced and set up their line of quick-firers, a fearful scene was spread before the party. The road was littered as though a tornado had passed by. Dead horses lay all about in con torted shapes. The highway was strewn with enemy helmets, bloodstained cloth ing, cartridge belts and all kinds of accoutrements. The trees on either side wre cut In two and the lines of bushes were leveled like grain before a storm. SffEns) of Carnage Shown. Just ahead on the road was Sega mill, where the bloodiest fighting was centered. The mill wheel was still running and the water was flowing peacefully. But all about were evi dences of fearful carnage. The sol diers who held the mill stood uncon cernedly at the door, while all over the ground were tatters left by the Aus trians as they were driven from the mill and thrown into the river. Passing on to the bank of the river, just back of the mill, a horrible sight met the eyes of the visitors. Over there on the sandbar in midstream lay corpses in heaps as far as the eye could see, the uniforms showing plain ly that they were Austrians. Some lay on the bank and some floated in the water. The Italians had just buried the bodies of 30O Austrians. but those other hundreds could not be brought back for decent burial, as the Austrian guns cut down stretcher-bearers every time they went off toward the sand bar. An officers' dead horse, with sad dle and rich saddle cloth, lay among the bodies. Sight Is Grewiome One. -The grewsonie line of bodies extend ed far down the river. The Austrians had been cut down by machine-gun fire as though by a scythe. All the men In the line pitched forward on their faces and lay there as though on dress parade, but prostrate. Going on to Zenson, the little town could be seen to have been retaken by the Italians after the enemy ob tained a brief lodgment. Behind the town on the river edge are bushes. Here were huddled what remained of the first enemy storming party which crossed the river. The whole place was swept by fire and one realized" the fearful furnace these men were In. As the party passed the Inundated region the tops of cornstalks could be seen above the long stretches of water, Indicating that it was about five feet deep. Similar traces of vineyards could be seen above the waste of water. Sol diers of the engineer corps were along the banks of the canal. They had opened the sluices wide and the water was up to the sills. The harvest had been gathered, but there can be no planting or sowing there next Spring. (G. F.

Premier Clemen ceau read to the Chamber of Deputies this afternoon the ministerial declara tion which has been decided upon by the new Cabinet. In the Senate the document was read by Louis Nail, the Minister of Justice. The declaration was as follows: "We have accepted places in the government in order to conduct the war with redoubled effort for the bet ter application of all our energies. We come before you with the sole idea of an integral war. . "We would like that the confidence which we shall ask you to give us be i your own conscientious action, and we appeal to the historic virtue that ex ists in us French. Never did France feel so clearly the need to live and develop the idea of force placed at the service of the human conscience in the resolve progressively to advance the right, both as among individuals and as between peoples capable of estab lishing their liberties. Klcht Is for Justice. "Conquer that justice may prevail that is the watchword of all our gov ernments since the beginning of the war. That programme, open as the sky, we shall maintain. "We have great soldiers of great tra ditions under leaders tempered by trials and animated by that supreme devotion which gave their elders re nown. Through them, through all of us, the immortal native land, in the noble ambitions of peace, will pursue the course of its destinies. Those Frenchmen that we were constrained to throw into the battle have claims upon us. Their desire is that none of our thoughts turn away from them, that none of our acts be foreign to their interests. We owe them every thing, without any reserve everything for France, bleeding In her glory; I everything for the exaltation of right triumphant. J Fraternal Solidity I'rged, ' "The single, simple duty is to stand by the soldier, live, suffer and fight with him, renounce everything that Is not of the fatherland. The hour has come for us to be solely French, and with the pride to declare that that suffices for us. Let everything today be blended the claims of the front and the duty In the rear. Let every zone be the zone of war. If there must be men who find In their souls Impulses of the old times, let us put them aside. All civilized nations are engaged in the same battle against the modern de velopment of ancient barbarity. Against this, with all our good allies, we are an immovable rock, a barrier that shall not be passed. "Let only fraternal solidity, the sur est foundation of the world, be shown at the forefront of alliance, at every instant and everywhere. In the field of ideas, France has suffered for every thing that makes man firm. In her hope, drawn from the sources of the purest humanity, she consents to suf fer still for the defense of the soil of her great ancestors, with the hope of opening ever wider to men as to peo ples all the doors of life. The force of the French soul is in that. That is what animates our people as they work as well as while they fight." . "Those silent soldiers of the work shops, deaf to evil suggestions; those old peasants, bent over their land; those robust women at their toil; those children who bring them aid there are our 'poilus'; there are our poilus, who, thinking later on of the great work, may say like those of the trenches, 'I was In it.' "With these also we must remain steadfast; we must see to it that, strip ping ourselves for the fatherland, we one day may be loved". To love each other. It is not sufficient to sayi we must prove It. We would like to try to give that proof and we ask you to aid us. Can there be a finer pro gramme of government? Justice for All Demanded. "There have been mistakes. Let us think only of repairing them. Alas! there have been crimes also, crimes against France. Let them receive prompt chastisement. We take before you. before the country that demands justice, an engagement that justice shall be done according to the rigors of the law. "Neither personal consideration nor political ardor will turn us from our duty or lead us to go beyond it. Too many criminal attempts have already resulted in the shedding of a super abundance of French blood. Weakness would be complicity. We shall be with out weakness, as without violence. All the accused before court-martials that Is our policy. The soldier in the pre torlum In solidarity with the soldier in combat. No more pacifist cam paigns; no more German intrigues; neither treason nor semi-treason. War, nothing but war. Our armies shall not be taken be tween two fires. Justice is on the way. The country will know that it is de fended and is- a France forever free. "We have paid too great a price for our liberties to cede 'any part of them beyond tse need of preventing divul gations and excitations irom wnicn the "enemy may profit. A censorship shall bo maintained for diplomatic and military information, as well as for those susceptible of disturbing peace at home, up to the limits of respect for opinions. A press bureau will give advice, nothing but advice, to all who solicit it. Citizens Made Responsible. "In war time, as in time of peace, liberty is to be exercised under the personal responsibility of the writer; outside of that rule there is only ar bitrary anarchy. "It has not seemed to us necessary to say more under the present cir cumstances to indicate the character of this government. Days will follow davs. problems will follow problems; we shall march in step with you to the realization that the necessities impose. We are under your control; the nuestion of confidence will be con tinually In the balance. We are going to enter uDon a regime of restrictions after the example of Kngland, Italy and America, admirable in her ardor. We shall ask of each citizen " that he take his full part In the common de fense. that he give more and consent to receive less.

If the action that concludes this session is favorable to us, we ex tinct of it consecration. "la the complete success of our -war THE American mission, headed by Colonel Edward M. House, which recently arrived in Kngland for the purpose of discussing and co-ordinating efforts to win the war, has had its initial meeting with the British rar council. Details of the conference, naturally, have been kept secret, but announce ment is made that little formality at tended it and that satisfactory progress marked the ' discussions. The far reaching scope of the conference is in dicated by the attendance upon the meeting of joint representatives of the army, navy and food controllers, ship ping boards, the treasuries and the war trade boards. David Lloyd George, the British Pre mier, opened the session with an ad dress and the conference lasted an hour and a half, during which frequent re course was had to a mass of statistics and official documents. Colonel House was not present at the opening session. Simultaneously across the channel M. Clemenceau, the new French Pre mier, was reading the declaration of policy of the new Ministry to the Chamber of Deputies. It was to the effect that the new government had assumed office in order to carry for ward the war with a redoubled effort towards its successful conclusion. It declared that civilized nations were en gaged in the Same battle against the development of ancient barbarity and that France, with her allies, was a barrier in the path, that should not be passed. The Premier asked each citizen to take his full part in the common de fense and to shoulder the same abne gation that at present exists in the army. The Chamber by a vote of 4 IS to 65 expressed confidence in the new Ministry. Between the Brenta and the Piave rivers on the northern front of the Italian theater, the Italians are tena clously holding back the enemy and preventing his advance southward to the Venetian plain, the gaining of which would threaten their entire line along the Piave River southward to the Adriatic sea. Four times attacks against Monte Tomba, the chief position still blocking the way from the hilly country to the plain, have been repulsed by the Italians. Hast of the Asiago plateau the Italians are keeping up their offensive against the invaders and have taken more than 300 prisoners and a number of machine guns and several hundred rifles. Along the Piave River the enemy ap parently has made no further effort to cross the stream, after the serious losses he sustained in being driven back Monday from the Zenson bridgehead. 67 Women Who Find SUITS in This SALE at $28.75 WILL CONSIDER THEMSELVES EXTREMELY FORTUNATE BE- CAUSE THESE ARE NOT $28.75 SUITS THEY ARE NOT SUITS MADE TO SELL FOR SUCH A LOW PRICE AND THEY HAVE BEEN SELLING FOR CONSIDERABLY MORE RIGHT HERE!
