Pennies in Big Demand,

Copper cents are now in great de-
mand. This may seem somewhat
strange in view of the fact that money
is more plentiful than heretofore.
Cents or pennies, as they are general
VI called, are now in much demand
because they are needed in paying the
new internal war tax on many articles
and in many ways not heretofore used
For instance, the use of pennies is
much greater at all railroad stations
now because of the war tax on all
passenger tickets and freight bills.
ANY one travelling now must pay 8 per
cent additional to the cost of his~t{ck-
et The increase in postage now re-
uuires an additional cent. on every let
ter the rate being three cents now
instead of two as heretofore. Save
your pennies and make change easier

Washington, Nov. 21.-Thousands of
unnaturalized Germans were forced to
move today from their homes near
docks. piers. warehouses, railway ter
m1nals, and other establishments de-
clared barred zones by President Will
sons alien enemy proclamation. For
many the new regulations meant not
only the actual moving of the place of
residence, but the loss of jobs in the
forbidden areas as well.
To those without work, including
many dependents, the federal employ
ment agencies were open and officials
were emphatic in explanation that the
help these agencies in finding new en-
ploYment for the alien enemies would
not be withheld. This was only one
evidence of the governments anxiety
to treat law abiding Germans with
courtesy and consideration. while ap-
plying drastic rules to detect the few
with harmful intent.
Mayors or eastern seaport cities to-
day were asked for. the cooperation
of their police departments in the reg
lstartiOn of alien enemies under the
Presidents proclamation and a few
early replies to the department of
JN0CANO 4AOANCllCu I1clI IIIC pO1lCG MOulQ
Willingly, undertake the task of enroll
ing thousands of German adult males
and soliciting data on their occupa-
tiOns and habits for future reference.
Along the Atlantic coast, where dan
ger from alien Rletters is considered
greatest, the registration enterprise
will be undertaken first, and will be
followed later by registration in the
interior.
John Lord O'Brien, special assistant
to the attorney general. in charge of
enforcement of the alien proclamation.
expects to complete regulations for the
registration late this week, and to put
them into effect next week.
By that ttme tho war department
probably will have placed troops to
guard the most important piers and
docks at eastern seaports. They will
supplement the private guards who
went on duty today under employ of
dock owners at request of the depart
ment of justice.
Department of justice officials said
troops would not be used generally as
guards They probably will be en-
ployed at Norfolk, Newport News,
Boston, New York. Baltimore. PhiIa-
delphia and few other ports.
