Germans Forced to
 Leave Their Homes
NEAR DOCKS, WAREHOUSES AND
 RAILWAY TERMINALS
NOW IN BARRED ZONES
Mayors of Eastern Seaport Cities Have Police in Registration of Enemies.

Washington, Nov. 21.-Thousands of unnaturalized Germans were forced to move today from their homes near docks, piers, warehouses, railway ter nninaIs and other esta blishments de- clared barred zones by President Will sons alien enemy proclamation. For many the new regulations meant net only the actual moving of the place of residence, but the loss of jobs in the forbidden areas as well.
 Must Find New Employment.
 To those without work, including many with dependents, the federal employment agencies were open and officials were emphatic in explanation that the help of these agencies in find- ing new employment for the alien ene- mics would not be withheld. This was only one evidence of the govern- ment's anxiety to treat iaw-abiding Germans with courtesy and consider ation, while applying the drastic rules to detect the few with harmful intent. Plans for Registration.
 Mayors of eastern seaport cities to- day were asked for the cooperation Of their police departments in the registration of alien enemies under the presidents proclamation and few early replies to the department of justice indicated that the police would willingly undertake the task of en- rolling thousands of German adult males and soliciting data on their oc- cupdu1OnS ana naD1lS TOT 1uIure reIef- ence. Along the Atlantic coast, where danger from alien plotters is consid- cred greatest, the registration enter prise will be undertaken first, and will be followed later by registrations in the interior.
 Registration in Force Next Week.
 John Lord O'Bryan, special assist ant to Attorney General Gregory in charge of enforcement of the alien proclamation, expects to complete reg ulaticns for the registration late this week, and to put them into effect next week.
 Troops to Guard Piers.
 By that time. the 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 cock owners at request of the depart r1ent of justice.

 RAILROADS DURING THE WAR Is Recommended in Brief Filed by
 Leading Counsel For rShipPers.

Washington, Nov. 21. In a brief submitted to the Interstate Commerce Commission today in the IS per cent. advance freight rate case, Clifford Thorne, leading counsel for the ship pers, suggests that the commission recommend that the government take over the operation of the railroads for the duration of the war.
 Mr Thorne pointed to the fact that Frank A. Vanderlip, New York banw- CT, testified that he believed the rate increase would act only as a poultice and not cure the rariloads' trouble and to the statement of Samuel Req, presi- dent Of the Pennsylvania railroad, that he did not believe the roads should at tempt large bond fiotations when the government was putting out loans.

 BY PRESS BULLETINS

According to this view. the German western line has been stripped of ammunition resel e and men for the strategic reserves to build up the machine which rolled back the Italian line.

Officers were in agreement that it was designed to relieve pressure on the Italian front and probably also to prevent tile carrying out of any plans the Germans might have had for an attack against the army holding the Saloniki front. On the face of press reports of the scope of the British vic tory they were inclined to believe that these results had been accomplished.
