Will REGISTER IN !
NATURAlztD GERMANS
Week Of Feb. 4 Set Aside. Police and
Postmasters viii do the
Work.

Washington, D. c., Dec. 31.-The
week of February was set aside by
the department of justice today for
registration of the half million un-
naturalized Germans in the continen-
tai United States, by police and post
masters. in pursuance Of President
Wilson's alien enemy proclamation
directing this action as means Of
minimizing the danger from enemy
sympathizers.
Registration will involve the. gath
ering of detailed information concern
ing the business, relatives and habits
of every German, together with his
photograph and finger prints. After
registering he must carry a registra-
tion card, and may not change his
place of residence without approval Of
the police or postmaster. Violation Of
the regulations will be punishable by
internment for the war.

San Francisco. Cal, Dec. 81. With

England will have recruited $4,000
Chinese laborers to work behind the
lines in France according TO j. S.
Fearon, who arrived at the Palace
hotel. The Chinese loborers are anxi-
GUS to be recruited and will do any
kind Of work In any country, Fearon
says. The reason for this is that the
Tien-tsin floods left thousands of the
laborers without homes and destitute.
Fearon also tells of the extreme
anti-German attitude, in China. Ger

Death Toll II CAMPS
s PER 1000 FOR Ill
l,ss1 American Soldiers Have Died
II Traiains Camps Of This
Country.

Washington. D. c., Dec. 81. Surg
con General Gorgas gave out figures
today showing that 1891 soldiers died
in the camps OF the United States DUR
ing the period from September q to
December IA. , s7sl
The greatest death rate was in the
ranks Of the national guard. The
regulars showed the lightest loss. Il 1
The annual rate Of deaths per 1000
based on the losses for the thres
months period covered would be 81
for the national guard, 81 for the ma
tional army, and 2.s for the regular
army. The annual rate for all troops
in the United States on the same basis
of computation would be six per 1000.
This compares with an annual rate
of 17.45 in 1895, during the Spanish
American war; 6.5G in 1893. 4.S3 in
1900. 4.6S in 1901, and ESQ in 1916.
The number of deaths in the three
armies in American training camps
for the period from September 81 to
December IA and the average strength
OF the three armies for that period is
shown in the following table:

the HOME Of THE
RUSSIAN DIPLOMATS
Massive Gray Stone Structure IN
Washington Most Imposing Of
Enbassies. .

Washington. Dec. 31.-They call II
the Russian embassy that massive
gray stone structure out. on Six
teenth Street-but In reality, it's the
most typicaliy Irish diplomatic in
stitution in Washington.
Reilley. Dorsey, Murphy, Shea,
Donnelly and Keegan are the names
the casual visitor hears oftenest.
Next to these come King, Roberts,
Jones and Kelly-all Of them proud
OF their Irish blood. Embassy officials
say it is merely a coincidence but
the doorman who halls from Cork,
declares: 1T takes the loike av the
Irish to beat the Dutch"
From an architectural standpoint,
the home Of the Russian embassy is
perhaps the most imposing of all the
foreign edifices in Washington. Am
bassador Bakhmatieff tcorrect) oc-
cupied 1t few years ago and then
virtually stripped OF its furnishings,
the property of the diplomat, 1t was
turned over to DR.. Boris Bakhmateff
(correct). successor and representa-
tive of the Ill fated Kerensky regime.
Oddly enough, yet withai strik-
ingly appropriate. the atmosphere of
the embassy comedies with its archi-
tectual lines. The main entrance,
leading into an exceptionally large
reception room, is, flanked by large
white stone pillars. The waiting
room, unusually large and severely
plain. impresses the casual visitor as
appropriately suggestive Of his con-
ception Of the steppes of Siberia. /.
Cold, devoid of mural decorations
and unresponsive. the atmosphere of
the; only room accessible to visitors
Is conducive Of anything but pleas
ant impression.

& Washington. D. G., Dec. 81 Dishon-
iorable discharges from the army,
which many ohieers believe have been
sliced upon BY slackers and sobjectors
as the vehicle OF escape from military
service, will mo longer provide such
an opportunity under an order ISSUED
today by Secretary Baker.
For several weeks the army has
been losing men at the rate OF 100 to
l50 a day. They chose to commit Of.
lenses which led to their dishonorable
discharge.
In the future, Secretary Baker or
dered, such men will get terms Of Inn
prisonment with their discharge. and
whenever possible some other form Of
sentence Will be used.

Paris. Dec. 31.-The debate on the

critics OF Premier ClemenceaI as an

plainest language the premier refused

thusiastic APPLAUSE and the bill was

LOWEST FORM OF LABOR
PROMISED U. 8. PRISONERS
Americans to get Hard Lot In
Germany.

American Field Headquarters in
France, Dec. S1.--Americans who may
be captured by the Germans are to
be regarded as not entitled to the ordf-
nary courtesies accorded prisoners Of
war, according to Information reach
ing here today.
It is presumably the intention OF
the Germans to employ American
prisoners in low forms of labor and
under wre.ched conditions, such as
Teutons imposed on Rassians In the
past. The Germans resarded the Rms
sian prisoners as little bettef than
animals.
