Alien Law
Not Affect
Americans
U. S. State Dep’t Feared Strict
Interpretation By British Au
thorities Might Delay Strand
ed Ones
Washington, D. C.—The British em
bassy at the request of the state de
partment today cabled the London for
eign office for the facts as to aliens
landing in England. Its action was on
a report that Great Britain was enforc
ing such strict immigration regulations
that they practically precluded any alien
from stepping on English shores. The
state department feared that stranded
Americans desiring to return to the
United States might not be able to re
turn to England even to take passage
for this country.
To Safeguard Country.
London.—lt was officially declared here
today the only steps taken by the Brit
ish government to prevent the landing of
foreigners in the British Isles were those
provided for by the sections of The
Aliens Restriction Act, the object of
which was to safeguard the country
against aliens from countries with which
Great Britain was at war.
An order In council signed bv the
king was published in the Gazette on
August sth, limited the entry of aliens
to certain ports so that they could be
subjected to examination. This order
was not Intended in the least to keep out
Americans, it was stated, and had had
no effect on the landing of Americans
here It was pointed out that in the
few Instances when the cases of Ameri
cans had been referred to the authorities
the requestd permission to enter always
had been granted.

{10.600.000 IN
GOLD WON’T CO
TO CANADA
Denied That Shipment on the
Kronprinzessin Cecelie Will
All Be Sent to Canada
New York.—lt is denied in financial
circles here that the entire amount of
tlie $10,000,000 and more gold taken from
the Kronprinzessin Cecilie is to be sent
to Ottawa. J. P. Morgan & Co., It Is
understood, recently consigned $1,000,000
gold to the Canadian capital but other
hankers interested tn the Kronprinzessin
Cecilie shipment, which has been return
ed here, expressed th opinion that only a
small part of th entire sum will be
shippped across the border.
There were further indications in New
York today that any movement looking
to large shipments of gold to Canada
whether for the Bank of England, or
whether for any other purpose would be
unpopular In hanking circles. New York
hankers deem it of the highest Import
ance that gold be held here regardless
of foreign obligations.
Money rates and foreign exchange were
quotably easier today but actually with
out material change.
Intended Shipment,
New York. In confirming the report
of the shipment of $1,000,000 gold to Ot
tawa, J. P. Morgan A Co., said the sum
had been intneded for shipment to the
Bank of England at London before the
beginning of the war. It was diverted
to Ottawa, the firm said, because it was
deemed inexpedient to risk such a sum
on the sea at this time.
