EIGHT SUBJECTS
OF THE KAISER
REGISTER HERE
Nearly All Express Their Loyalty and
Devotion to the United states--
Most Of the Men Had Taken Out
First Papers But Had Neglected TO
Complete Naturalization.

Tho time. for the registration Of
enemy aliens under the recent proc
lamation Of President Wilson closed
on Tuesday afternoon OF this week.
Under Its provisions all subjects Of
the German empire over fourteen
years OF age were required to regis
ter with the police authorities in or
der that q watch might be kept on
them during the continuance Of the
war. Eight subjects OF the kaiser reg
istered with the authorities IN Canon
City; nearly all OF whom expressed
their loyalty and devotion 70 the Unit
ed States government. In most cases
these men had taken out their first
papers Of citizenship. but had neglect
ed to complete their naturalization be-
fore the United States entered the
war. The last man to be registered
here said that he hated German despo-
tIsm and military oppression and de-
clared that he had refused to allow
his children to learn the German Ian
guage.
German aliens who neglected to reg
:ster will be severely dealt with unless
they have a mighty good excuse for
not presenting themselves TO the
authorities within the allotted time.
The penalty is interument ina prison
camp for the period OF the war.
