MUST HAVE -FOUR PICTURES
Permits for Aliens Will Not Be Issued
Until 10 Days After Applications
Have Been Filed and Federal Offic-
ials Will Make Examinations.

Aliens in Kenosha are going to be
busy having their pictures taken dur
ing the coming week in preparation for
registration as Alien Enemies dur
ing the week beginning on February
4th. United States Marshal Samuel
Randolph of Milwaukee today sent to
Kenosha his instructions to aliens who
come under the order of the President
for registration.
The registration cards will not be
issued on the day the aliens are regis
tered. Before the permits are issued
the application of the alien for regis
tration must be submitted to the pro-
per federal authorities and if they
place their mark Of approval on it it
will be passed and a formal card per-
NIT will be issued. 1t. is going to be
just like joining a lodge but the Fed
eral officials have given the assurance
that no worthy alien need feel any
fear of being black balled. Many Of
the aliens in Kenosha who had part in
the former registration have a pretty
good idea of what is coming for them.
Chief of Police O'Hare is getting his
forces organized and he is of the opin-
ion that he will be able to sake care of
the registration with the least possible
delay.
Here are the suggestions that the
United States Marshall asks be given
to all aliens in Kenosha who are to APP
ply for permits:
"Persons required to register should
understand that in so doing they are
giving proof of their peaceful disposi-
tions and of their intention to conform,
to the laws Of the United States.
Every registrant should read care
fully the form of registration affidavit
handed to him and ask the registration
officer for explanation on all points
not clear to him before attempting to
fill out the blanks Registration off.
GERS are instructed to give registrants
all possible aid in the way of explana-
tion and advice.
Each registrant is required to fur
nish four unmounted photographs of
himself, not larger than 3x3 inches in
size, on thin paper, with light back
ground. All four photographs should
be signed by the registrant across the
face of the photographs, so as not to
obscure the features, if the applicant
is able to write.
Three blank forms of registration af-
fidavit must be completely filed OUT
by the registrant or his representative
with the exception of the blanks in
dicated to be filed out by the regis
tration officer and the description OF

trant cannot write he must make his

Identification and follows the practice
observed in the military and naval
service of the United States.

fore the registration officer who took
