Washington. Nov. 13.-President
Wilson is expected to issue a procla-
nation soon requiring every alien
enemy within the United States to
register, as a step toward Kidding the
country OF spies and sabotage.
The government has virtually de-
cided that this procedure is the only
way for sitting from the million Ger

Attorney General Gregory took to

dent Wilson's consideration q draft
Of regulations under which the regis

ing the program adopted by England
and France for keeping a close watch
over the activities OF enemy sub

number OF disastrous fires and indi-

Under the proposed registration
plan, Germans would be given a

at patrol work and their officers say
they carry on in No Mans Land as
IL they had been at 1t for years.
This is explained partly by the fact
that activity in No Mans Land along
the sector held by the Americans
virtually is open warfare, which is
distinctly an American game.
Already stories of the heroisrn Of
individual soldiers during trench
raids, are coming to light. A recent
incident involved I've priVates Who

the entrance they fired on the enemy
so successfully that they prevented
the Germans, who made several at
tempts, from entering.
It Is the opinion OF all the officers
that the troops are bearing up ex-
cellently under their first experiences
in the trenches. All are learning
how to conduct themselves under fire
and also that shell fire, even when
intense, is not as dangerous as II
sounds.
So much shrapneI has fallen since
the battalions Of the second con-
tingent in the trenches have taken
their posts that the men have ceased
to worry about 1t, hardly paying any
more attention to it than to rain.
The commander Of one battalion said
that since the men had entered the
trenches mumps has caused more OF
them to go to the hospital than has
the enemy's fire. The firing in this
battalion's sector has been rather
more intense than is usual for sew
eral nights.

The engagements thus far have
consisted of episodes at detached
points, although the shelling extends
almost uninterruptedly for forty
miles along the lower Piave. The
crash Of some enemy heavy guns is
now heard, showing that the Aus
trians and Germans have been able
to bring up a few Of these monster
pieces.

VOTES FOR PRESIDENT
SOON TO Be COUNTED
RETURNS WILL BE CANVASSED
AND PRESIDENT AND VICE
PRESIDENT DECLARED ELEC-
TED-CONGRESS AS JUDGE.

Congress will meet in joint session
on the second Wednesday of Febru.
airy, st. Valentines day, to count the
votes of the electoral college, which
has sat is the several states. The cleo
tOral body was created in the infan-
cy Of the United States and indicates
clearly that the trainers of the con-
situation intended that the people
should not cast their ballots directly
for president and vice president. On
that day the senate and house will
canvass the votes of the various
states and an election will be de-
clared, provided there are no con-
tests. In that event the bodies will
proceed according to lines outlined
by the constitution.
The electoral college is charged
with being responsible for the Burr
Jefferson embroglio and with the
Hayes-Tilden controversy, and for
this reason some prominent leaders
have suggested that the body be
abolished. In that case the people
would vote directly for president and
vice president as they now do for
United States senators and members
of the house of representatives
States Certify the Votes.
The constitution of the United
States specifies that the election for
president and vice president shall be
held on the same day in all the states,
but does not certify exactly how re-
turns shall be made. On the stated
date in November the voters cast
their ballots for certain men named
as electors and these later assemble
at some location, selected by the leg
islature, and cast their votes for the
candidate who received the highest
number of votes in that state. Ger
tifeates are filed with the governor,
secretary of state or other state off,
cial One of these goes to the cleo
tor, one remains with the executive
head of the state and one each is
sent to the national senate and the
house of Representatives as an off,
cial record of the election.

never sits in one hall or meeting
place. The electors of each state
meet, cast their votes and file their
returns in Washington, where the
vote is counted and the successful
candidate is named,
