The allied council at Versailles

Today thruout the nation this
government is registering aliens

thumb prints, etc., as precau-
tionary measure preliminary to
what is to be the crucial effort in
the great war.
There are to be no halfway
measures. The president decided
that on whichever side the great

tory will fall.

The kaiser's papers have scott

have laughed at our officers, men
upon whom, they say, Secretary
Baker "has sewed epaulets."
But these men, after months
of patient training, are answering

nothing but the genius of perfec-

Hitchcock reviewed at length

clared eff a high-class man could
