Keep Plans Secret.
A good part of the plans that
have been made 10 "muzzle" the
anti-draft advocates, and to meet
the emergencies. are of a character
that viii not be disclosed. The ad-
minishation is very hopeful that
many of these plans need not be
called into execution. They are for
the most part precautionary but if
needed they Will prove most eff
fective.
one of the encouraging develop
ments reaching Washington today
was the announcement that patriotic
citizens in all parts OF the country
are organizing vigilance committees
to aid in enforcement Of the regis
tration law and 10 keep down all

These citizens are to operate on

law. They are 20 have the complete
cooperation of the municipal, cOun-
". state and federal authorities.
Prepare LISTS OF Men.
Acting under general directions
compiled by the department OF jus
tice here these citizens have already
prepared unofficial lists of the men
who should register. They will
check up registration lists 70 see that
all such names are carried on their
records. Those who have not shown
up early to answer the instructions
will be sent for.
For the latter purpose il Is de-
clared at the Office Of the provost
marshal general that there have
been more automobiles promised
than for any similar nationwide
event in the past.
From every quarter the attorney
general today was receiving offers of
assistance. The direct appeal OF the
administration to all good citizens
TO assist in the work is receiving
Unprecedented response. AS a re-
suit officials today confidently eX-
pected that 80 per cent Of the ell

officials say they do not believe
that they viii get the totals much
before the end Of next week.
Although on the surface there has
always been apparent grounds for
lapprehensiOn. and the department or
Justice has ordered many arrests. as
registration day approaches. the

that they are well convinced that

Kansas City Girl Strings New Workers Into Believing She Was From KOyukuk, and
 Had i'm Going Till Dad "SpiIIed the Beans"

ed me to marry the first Austrian who came along with $200. 1 wanted to be an American so l left them and went to an aunt in Alaska. l worked as telephne girl at Juneau"
 Some one who thought Louise might be deviating again asked her about the work in Juneau, and she satisfied him that she was back OH firm ground by the ring of truth in her answer, "If we felt like it We give them the number. Otherwise we would tell them to take out the phone"
 It was there she said she met "Jim" Maloney, who gave her the diamond earrings and the engage nent ring on her finger. "He bought the telephone company and I went with it." she said The S1,OOO which she brought from Alaska, she said, consisted of savings of $3O a month for three years as a telephone girl. The best evidence that her fame burst upon her unex- pectedly is in the fact that she failed to assume new name, SC that her week of greatness came to an end as soon as Kansas City heard about it. Asked about this fatal error, she said she was afraid to. She had heard that it was a penitentiary offense.
 "One thing my father says is abso- lutely false," Louise insisted. That is that 1 was biscuit shooter. l never waited on table in my life. Please don't call me biscuit shooter. 1 have shot plugs in switchboard and even won a medal at Juneau for efficiency in shooting plugs, but that is all.
 Louise said she did not like the deception she had been practicing, but that it had caused her to meet a mm- Der of nice people and to give her a start on what she expected to be her new life, so that she did not have the heart to say, "I am a liar"
 An accomplishment she has hidden during the week, because it did not go with her delightful simplicity and ignorance, is that she knows several languages.
 "I know seven more or less, she said, "and I guess they will help me cut here. learned the Austrian and Italian at school. l learned Russian, Belgian and French in Alaska, ard l know English and Kansas City" Louise is still at the McAlpin, but she will go to less pretentious place boarding house-today.

NEW YORK,-(Special) - Lomse Sachen has confessed that she had bent the truth little here and there in the 8O,OOO or 10000 words she has told New York in the last week about how Broadway reacted on a mind which had previously received inn pressions only of the majestic scenery amt the primitive human types of the Kovukuk in the far north and of few hamlets of the hinterland through which she passed on her way from Juneau to New York.
 Instead of having lived since child hood among rough, but open-hearted characters in bearSkinS in the much filmed wild places of Alaska, Louise admitted last night that her impres- sions of New York were based on the solid background of sixteen years Of Kansas City observation and expert ence. The right way to look at her she explained yesterday was an Ordln- ary kansas City girl polished by three years of life in Alaska.
 But, if what 1 had to say about New York was good" she asked, What did it matter if l had lived in Kansas City,"
 Louise left her family in Kansas City because she did not like them and went to Alaska for three years, She returned to Kansas City last year, found she still did not like it and bolt ed for New York. She wanted to dis connect herself from Kansas City, which she did not like, and to identity herself with Alaska, which she did like. so she altered her story slightly when she came here. AS she added to this little fiction in order to explain it. under the croSs-examination of in- terviewers, she built up the gigantic and minutely finished tale which has filed several New York papers for eight days.
 The most interesting part of 1t is how she stumbled into fame. There is plenty of proof that she did not an- ticipate the blaze of glory with which she was received. A person who, in- tending to set off a tirecracker, touch ed a match to a New Jersey munitions works could not have been much more surprised than she was to find her self competing with Thomas Lawson and Rae Tanzer for place on front pages.
 When she came to this city on Jan. 15 with $12O and a fair wardrobe she told the hotel clerk she had lived all her life in Alaska and had never seen a real city before. The hotel press agent was calling up hotel reporters a few minutes later but it was busy day and no one paid any attention to the tip. Sunday was a dull day and somebody remembered about the girl from Alaska. She was still at the hotel and ready to be interviewed
 There was plenty of novelty in her Middle Western viewpoint. Her criti- cism of subways, lapdogs, rouging
