1.-THE startling fact shown in the
returns of registration blanks from
alien Germans" said Postmaster Fan
ming, SIS that there are between l5,-
900 and $4,000 unnaturalized German
men in the, state of Nebraska"
This far exceeds the estimates made
before the government registration
was ordered.
Another fact is that fully half OF
the alien Germans whose registration
blanks have been received at the
Omaha federal building are former
German soldiers. Some of them have
been high officers in the great Pres
sian military machine. Several for
mer soldiers in the 172d Prussian
grenadier guards are among the regis
trants.
About 4,50O registration certificates
have been received by Postmaster
Tanning from postmasters thf ough-

man in every Is in Nebraska is an
unnaturalized German. At Millatd.

A large number of the rigistrants
have relatives fighting against the

Decorated for Bravery.
(By Associated Press.)

Paris, Sunday, March 3.-Premier
Clemenceau visited the American
troops today and reviewed the sol
diers who repulsed the German attack
Friday. The premier left Paris Sat-
urday evening and returned this eve-
ming, when the following semi
official note was issued:
"The president of the council de-
sires personally to congratulate the
American troops in the sector where
they have: just repelled brilliantly
strong enemy attack. The battalion
which took part in this operation was
reviewed by the premier, in whose
presence the general commanding the
army decorated with the war cross
certain officers and privates whose
bravery had been particularly re-
markable.
"This check to the enemy attack
was, moreover, far more severe than
first information showed. The Ameri-
can government had modestly an
nounced that some of the enemy had
been killed and some made prisoner.
As a matter of fact, the latest recon-
naissances have shown that in addl-
ton to these losses the Germans LETT
large number of corpses between the
lines.
Reflects Honor on Troops.
"It was a fine success, rejecting
great honor on the tenacity of the
American infantry and the accuracy
of the artillery fire, which have thus
shown they are capable of attaining
the maximum effect from the French
material which they have adopted: -.
"After visiting the field hospital
where he admired the morale of the
wounded, the premier went to the
front lines to examine the scene oi
this operation. During his converse.
tions with American generals, officers
and privates, the premier noted in
everyone feeling of absolute conf.
dence, which. if possible, has beer
heightened further by the brilliant re-
suits of their first serious meeting
with the enemy, over whom our allies
have thus clearly shown their su.
periority.
"The premier also saw on his way
some OF our own troops at rest. He
conversed with the officers and men,
warmly congratulating and encourag-
ing them. Our poilus had but one re-
ply:
"'They shall not passP"
Premier Clemenceau on his return
to Paris was too occupied to give the
Associated Press an interview on his
visit, but a prominent governemnt Of.
fetal, who accompanied the premier
said: ..
II cannot, of course, say what
section the premier visited, nor give
any military detail. but your gallant
General Pershing came to meet him
and accompanied him ON the entire
visit.
"Your army made altogether an ex.
cellent impression on the premier. He
found the men in perfect physical con.
dition and their morale thoroughly
satisfactory, showing calmness, conf
dence and implacable resolution
Their evident desire is to rival ir
courage their elders in the struggle.
"The premier equally was struck by
the fine bearing of your officers ant
their skill in handling their men, ant
also by the extreme cordiality of theii
relations with their French comrades.
