It was stated in the daily Press on Wednesday that
about three hundred orders for the internment of enemy aliens have been handed to the Commissioner of Metropolitan Police for enforce- ment. A first list of fifty-four persons already interned, on the recommendation of the Advisory Board, begins with two diamond merchants of Bryanston Square, a working man, the director of a chemical company of Cromwell Road, Kensington, and five bakers— a business largely represented in the list. The secretary to the King Edward VII. British-German Foundation has been interned, with an agent for Siberian butter. These are perhaps the two occupations listed in which there must have been least to do during recent times. The most interesting item is : " Remy, Wilhelm Peter, French and German correspondent to Baron de Forest, M.P., living at Neasden." Baron de Forest is the Liberal Member for North-West Ham, and an Hereditary Baron of the Austrian Empire.
