MALE GERMANS IA YEARS
AND over TO REGISTER
ALI Who Have Not Become Citizeni
Of United States Required to
Make Fact Known.

Registration of all male Germans
fourteen years old and upward, under
the provisions Of the law requiring
registration Of alien enemies, will be-
gin tomorrow and continue during the
week. Every German male above the age
Of fourteen years who has not become
a citizen Of the United States is re-
CURED to register. on pain Of severe
penalties for refusal or failure to obey
the law.
Attorney General Gregory, in a
statement last night. declared that the
alien enemy laws and regulations are
to be rigidly and aggressive1y enforced,
and that penalties for violations Of
these laws will be imposed without
exception. In his statement. the At
torney General said:
THE United States is at war. and for
the proper protection of the country
in the present great emergency it is
plainly necessary that such registra-
tion be had. This does not mean that
the loyalty of every one of such alien
enemies is under suspicion. The MAJ
jority Of Germans who have taken up
their residence in this country, but
who, for one reason or another. have
neglected or failed to become Ameri-
can citizens, are undoubtedly willing
TO be loyal and laW-aD1dlnR. many OF
them have shown their desire to assist
the United States in this wax. In the
interest of public safety, however, they
must be registered and must obey the
allen enemy regulations. All such per.
sons who are really loyal to the United
States will appreciate this and Will
assist the United States. by their own
choice the country of their residence:
by promptly registering themselves and
advising all others of their. acquaint-
ance fully to obey all alien enemy reg
ulationS.
'1The mere fact that man is regis
tered as an alien enemy should not
be taken as reason for discrlmlna-
tion against him by his employer or
by the community in which he lives.
The President of the United States. in
his proclamation Of April 6. 1917. pro-
claiming war with Germany, expressly
stated, as to the conduct of citizens
towards alien enemies and the con-
duct of alien enemies themselves, that
so long as alien enemies shall con-
duct themselves in accordance with
peaceful pursuit of their lives and oc-
eupations and be accorded the con-
sideration due all peaceful and law
abiding persons. except so far as re-
| strictions may be necessary for thell
own protection and for the safety OF
| the United States; and towards sucf
alien enemies as conduct themselves
in accordance with law, all citizens o1
the United States are enjoined to pre-
serve the peace and to treat them with
all such friendliness as may be COM

ENOUGH ARMY NURSES.
Special Campaign Of Enlistment
Makes Up Deficiencies.

Surgeon General Gorgas reported to
Secretary Baker yesterday that, as re-
suit of special campaign for the en-
listment Of army nurses, the deficiency
in that branch has been made up.
Instances in which soldiers in camp
hospitals have had to endure uuneces-
sary discomforts have been traced in
nearly every case to the fact that the
War Department had failed in its eff
fort to secure enough, trained nurses
and hospital attendants to. permit the
assignment of an adequate number to
each camp.
Gen. Gorgas has recommended addi-
tional buildings at the camps for hous-
ing the nurses. In the meantime the gen.
eral has been authorized to secure for
this purpose "hostess houses" 7. NJ. c.

The third movement is written in
quaint oriental style beginning with
the violin and oboe slowly descending
until the lowest notes OF the cellos
basses. clarinets and bassoons unite in
chords of ineffa Bile depth and melan-
choly. from which rises amid the
trernolo of strings the high-waiIing
voice of the clarinet in inconsolab BILE re-

sohs from the horns. leading to the en-

and violins. and answered by clarinet
and bassoon. The movement finishes as
II began. returning to the Introductory
passage with its clarinet recitatfve and
after a few bars OF the syncopated ac-
compartment it ends Unexpectedly on a
soft chord in the major key.
The quaint old Dorian scale is used
in the fourth movement while a plaint
of Russian folk song constantly reap

and 7oboe, which, in a whfrling climax
