Nearly 10000 Give Their

Police to Check Up
----------
Cards Will Be Issued in Two
Weeks-Yorkville Is
Delinquent

Registration of enemy alien women
in this city should have come to an of
iicial end yesterday. But nghtfall
found several hundred Germans lag
gng along with their records still un-
filed, and for these late ones it was
decided to create an extension Of sew
eral days. The heaviest delinquency
was in the East Eighty eighth Street
precinct, the centre Of the most popu-
lous German district in the city. Late
yesterday afternoon more than 1900 af-
fidavits, given out earlier in the week,
had not been turned in to the police.
In every respect German women
have been easier to handle than Ger
man men, according to police reports.
They have not only been better nat
ured, but they have been quicker to
respond to the call of the government.
1T was estimated there would be 10000
to register in the city. and this mum

Of the German male aliens only $4,000
of an estimated $4,000 gave their rec
ords.
There was no great rush Oh the
last day. Most of the precincts prac-
tically finished the work. In Yorkville
the long stream of applicants for aft
davits was reduced and it was only up
stairs where the completion of regis
tratlon was being made and finger
prints taken that there was much &C
tivity.
At the end of this week police will be-
gin to verify the afidavits made by the
alien women. Each policeman will
have to investigate and check up the
information given by the registrants
on his beat. If this is correct, registra-
tion cards will be issued within a fort
night;' if wrong addresses or misin-
formation have been given the case
may be turned over to the Department
of Justice. After the cards have been
issued, and the original affidavits and
an extra picture of each alien woman
has been filed away in each police pre-.
cinct, the women may move only by OBJ.
tanning permit from the registering
agent. Registration cards must be car
ried at all times.
Many were the expressions of regret
among German women because they ad
failed to be naturalized in this country
Some of them wanted to take out thei,
papers at once, according to the police
but were Informed that such q proceed
ing would be impossible until after the

signed from the Socialist party yester-

as expressed by the "St. Louis rcsolu-
ton" left him no choice. He declared
his chief purpose in resgning to be as
protest against "the foreignborn
leadership that blindly believes a non
American policy can be made to appeal
to many Americans"

After commenting on the non-Ameri-

Benson's letter continues:
"a few men in the party who should
have known better have accepted and
proclaimed the false doctrine that a
workinxman can have no country, and
therefore that it is immaterlal to him

not.
"For these reasons" Mr.. Benson con-
cludes, ~ now take leave of the Social

with it. 1t seemed to me that, having
been at the head of the national ticket
