 AND 26-PoSTMASTERS ARE RE- I CURED TO TAKE REoisTRA- | TON.
 ,l Commencing next Wednesday all fe- males who are subjects of the Imperi- ol German government, residing in the United States, are required to present themselves before the proper officer for registration. This action Is made necessay by an act of Congress extending this requirement. to all alien German females, and by the proclamation of President Wilson of April 19, putting the law into ef- I feet. Under the provisions of this act the requirement is extended to all natives, citizens or subjects of Germ any, being females, of the age of 14 years and upwards, who are within the United States and not actually naturalzed as American citizens. I In Greenlee county the postmast- CTS of the several post offices will be the registration officers, and alien se- males required to register will pre-. sent themselves to their respective postmaster within the above specified time, or be subject to the penalties provided for noncompliance with said regulations. The following is the law governing the registration of alien females. together with the pen alties prescribed:
 "A German alien female requir- | ed to register who fails to com
 plete her registration within the Irnn
 lates or attempts to violate, or Of
 whom there is reasonable ground to believe that she is about to vio-
 late any regulations duly promul-
 gated by the President of the
 United States or these regulations in addition to all other penalties prescribed by law, is liable to res
 traint. imprisonment, and deten-
 tiOn for the duration of the war;
 or to give security, or to removal
 and departure from the United
 States, in the manner prescribed by sections 4067, 4O69 and 4O7O of
 the United States Revised statu-
 tes. and to all other penalties pre-
 seribed in the several proclama- : = tions of the President, and in the } regulations duly promulgated by V or under the authority of the
 President.
 "A German alien female required to register who shall, after the
 date fixed for the issuance to her .'
 of a registration card, be found
 within the limits of the United
 States, without having her regis
 tration card on her person Is lia-.

 Those Subject to Registration.
 "A female, irrespective of the citi- zenship of her parents, born in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, is an American citizen, and is not a German alien required to register hereunder, unless she has become naturalized in or taken an oath of allegiance to Germ any; or married a subject of Germ any who has not acquired naturaliza- tion in the United States, and the marital relations has not been ter minated by death or absolute divorce, or after such termination of the mari tai relation she has not resumed her American citizenship, which is done by her continued residence in the ! United States, or of abroad by regis tering as an American citizen within one year after the termination of such marital relations" In short every German born female is an alien under the terms of this regulation, as is every female who marries a sub ject of Germany, who has not be- come naturalized American citizen.
 The Copeer Era gives publicity to this matter as it is desired to place it before every person subjected to its provisions. Ignorance excuses no one, and every German alien female in this country will be required to comply with the rules governing, and present themselves for registration to your postmaster on the dates be- tween June 19 and 26, to avoid the nana1tias and rOnSauuaDt trOuh1a
