While the registration Is OF course
meant only for English men and women,
the measure affects American residents
in the country. This fact was consid-
cred of sufficient Importance to cause
the Foreign Office to-day to send a
friendly notification to the American
Embassy. calling attention to Section Z,
which says that the law Is applicable
to- Americans.
Secretary Bell at the embassy straight
way cabled the state Department al
Washington to this effect. In order that
all Americans leaving for England may
know what to expect. Later he tele-
| graphed to all American Consuls In
Great Britain and notified all the steam
ship lines, asking them to give promi'
hence to the new regulations.

The Government. however, has every
