ENEMY ALIENS IN U. S. ARE
TO BE FORCED TO REGISTER

Washington, Nov. 13.-President
Wilson is expected to issue a procla-
nation soon, requiring every Alien
enemy within the United States to
register, as step toward ridding the
country of spies and sabotage.
The country has virtually decided
that this procedure is the only way
open for sitting from the million Ger
mans in the United States the few
who are believed to be causing fires
in munition plants, grain elevators
and warehouses and promoting pro-
paganda injurious to Americas pros
ecution of the war
Within the proposed registration
plans, Germans would be given speci-
fic time, probably several times, in
which to report their names, occupa-
tion and family or business connec-
tions to postmasters or some other
government agency. Those not reg
istered then would be rounded up and
prosecuted.
