Washington.-The German govern

taken under President Wilson's latest
alien enemy proclamation to impose
restrictions on unnaturalized Germans
In this country, in order to assure the
Berlin authorities that no abuse of
their countrymen here is contem-
plated.
Through the neutral embassies now

held as prisoners of war, civilians in
termed as dangerous aliens and crews
of the former German merchantmen
detained under guard by the immigra-
ton authorities.
The number of unnaturalized Ger
mans already informed does not exceed
600, and officials do not expect an in
crease Of more than 200 to 800 at the
most, as a result of failure to obey
the new regulations establishing pro-
hibited zones about wharves, piers
and warehouses and compelling reg
istration.
The men informed are comfortably
housed in barracks at military pris-
ons, receive their food, clothing and
lodging and many are given work
with pay.
The prisoners of war receive food,
clothing and lodging, tobacco and
few other incidental subsistence sup
plies, and the officers receive the pay
and privileges of their corresponding
ranks in the United States navy.
The department of justice has near
iy completed the regulations for reg
istration of unnaturalized Germans,
and it was thought they would be pro-
mulgated soon.
It was stated authoritatively that
there would be no provision for ex-
emptions to the rules established in
the presidents proclamation.

BERLIN ANNOUNCES RENEWAL
or GEN. RYNG's ATTACKS
ON LINE.
GERMANS CONCENTRATE MEN
no Announcement Made of Quantity
Of Stores Taken, but over 5000
Prisoners Are Now in Hands
Of British.

Headquarters, France.-The Brit
ish renewed their attack on Fontaine
and are still holding the ground be-
tween Cantaing and south of Fon-
tame. 1t is unofficially estimated that
several score Of guns have been cap
tured.
The attack came after night Of
comparative quiet along the Cambria
front and was delivered against the
German positions at Fontaine, and
about both sides Of the southern part
of Bourbon wood, which dominates
Cambria and much of the surround
ing territory.
At the same time Irish infantry
with tanks were making an assault
against the enemy defenses about
Moeuvres, where sanguinary fighting
already had occurred during the last
three days, and early in the morning
had stormed the ground in the viein-
ity or Tadpole copse, which lies on
an elevation just west Of the town
and forced the Germans to withdraw
after a sharp engagement.
Enemy Concentrates Troops
The enemy began the concentra-
tion of troops, and artillery between
Cambria and the Bourbon wood and
gave every indication that they pur-
posed to battle desperately for the
recovery of their lost territory.
The Germans, in their counter
thrust at Fontaine Notre Dame, sue
ceeded in pushing the British slight
ly back from the place after a des-
perate conflict; but this morning the
British still held their ground be-
tween Cantaing and south of Fon-
tame, and were near the fringe Of the
Bourbon wood.
This morning the Germans in the
eastern part of Creve Occur village
were maintaining an intense machine
gun fire against the British in its
western environment.
Vast War Stores Captured.
Rain fell and dense, low-hanging
clouds are letting down a steady .driz-
zle which makes aerial observation
very difficult. Notwithstanding this
handicap, both the British and the
German airmen were operating at ex-
ceedingly low attitudes along the bat
tie lshe. The enemy's airplanes were
especially active in the region of
Bourbon wood.
No announcement has been made Of
the amount Of material captured by
the British, but great quantities of
war stores are strewn over the battle
area, and among the booty are nu-
merous guns.
The total of prisoners so far count
ed still remains somewhere between
5000 and $1,000

Jackson.-Adjt. Gen. A. G. Bucknet
Is the busiest man in the state at the
present time. The job of raising a
regiment is quite proposition and
the acknowledgement is the one man
upon whom most of the work falls.
One of the luckiest things in the
world for the acknowledgement is the
fact that he has one of the most capa-
BILE assistants that can be found any

untiring in his efforts in behalf Of the

Daughtry offering their services and
asking to be formally accepted for

see will be raised without the least
bit of difficulty. The recruits have
been SO numerous in many places in
the short length of time since the
regiment was started that the highest
expectations of the officers have been
far exceeded. And by this large scram.
BILE in the effort to get into the or.
ganization, the numbers have been so
great that the officers have been
forced to adopt a process Of selection,
thus assuring the very highest per-
sonnet possible in all organizations.
One Of the most prominent military
men in the state and one who has
been active in national guard affairs
for many years declared that in all
his connection with the national guard
he had never seen the equal Of the
men in the new regiment as regards
the high type Of soldiers being Sc
