uralized Germans in the continental

sons alien enemy proclamation d.
recting this action as a means Of
minimizing the danger from enemy
sympathizers In the United States.
Earlier plans for administering
the registration in the eastern cities
and gradually extending it TO the
entire country were abandoned be-
cause Of the fear that some Ger
mans might avoid registration by
moving from district TO district.

change his place Of residence with
out approval of the police or post
master. Violation Of the regulations
will be punishable by interment for
the war.

man women, nor TO any persons un-
der IA years of age because these
are not classed as alien enemys by
law. Subjects of Austria Hungary
