1919, not only in the circumstances aforesaid, but at any time, and "The Aliens Act, 1905," has been repealed from such date as may be specified by Order in Council, and any such Order may incorporate with or without modification any of the provisions of The Aliens Act, 1905 ";*

And whereas it is provided by the Principal Act that His Majesty may by Order in Council revoke or add to any Order in Council made thereunder;

And whereas it is desirable that the provisions of the said "Aliens Order, 1919," should be amended in certain particulars and as so amended should continue in force together with certain provisions of "The Aliens Act, 1905,' after the termination of the present war, and that a date may be fixed for the repeal of "The Aliens Act, 1905 ";

And whereas the provisions of Section 1 of The Rules Publication Act, 1893," have been complied with:

Now, therefore, His Majesty is pleased, by and with the advice of his Privy Council, to order, and it is hereby ordered, as follows:
