REQ CROSS ROLL CALL
Enrolment Campaign May Pro-

Bad Weather and Influenza Have

Washington, Dec. "a. = Approx
mately 100000 members had been
enrolled by so per cent of the chapters
of the country when the American
Red Cross annual Christmas roll call
ended, according to reports received

Bad weather and influenza have
handicapped the roll call in many Sec

Returns from all divisions were far
from complete and officials said it
probably would be another week be-
fore final reports on the enrolment
would be in hand.
The central division continued it's
lead with more than 100000 mem
bers and the Atlantic division was
second with more than 100000.

Wilson Is Expected to Arrive in italy
On That Date-Earl of Derby
Gives Dinner in Honor OF Mr..
and Mrs. Wilson.

Paris, Dec. 23-According to an
announcement made in the Italian
newspapers, President Wilson will ar
rive in Rome on Jan. 8.
President and Mrs. Wilson were
guests of honor at a dinner given at
the British embassy by the Earl Of
Derby, British ambassador. Among
the guests were Count Romanones,
Spanish premier; Vittorio Orlando.
Italian premier; Baron Sonnino, Ital-
ian foreign minister; General John j.
Pershing, Major General Sir David
Henderson, former president OF the
British air council; Admiral w. s.
Benson and Col e. M. House. Many
prominent figures in political life
were present.
Visits NeuiIIy Hospital.
President Wilson visited the Red
Cross hospital at Neuilly, where he
shook hands individually and talked
with 1900 badly wounded Americans,
for the most part survivors Of the Cha
teau Thierry action. He spent more
than four hours in the hospital, visit
ing every ward and stopping at every
bedside. Later he visited the French
hospital Val de Grace.
Speaking of his experiences at the
American hospital the President said:
81 went through the American hos
pital at Neuilly with the greatest in
terest and the greatest satisfaction.
found the men admirably taken care
of nd oil with IN,
excellent spirits.
Few Look Really III.
"Only few of them looked really
ill, and / think that their mothers and
their friends would have been entire
ly pleased by their surroundings and
by the alert look in their eyes and the
keen interest they took in everything
about them.
Il am sure that they will go back
to their loved ones at home with
new feeling of joy, alike in their re-
covery, and in the fine service they
have been able to render"
Going to the American hospital
with the expectation of remaining an
hour, the President found four hours
all too short, as he felt that he could
not leave without speaking with every
man, and he expressed regret only at
his inability to clasp the hand of
every American soldier in France.
The President looked tired and
worn when the ordeal was finished,
for notwithstanding the cheerfulness
of the men and the care which they
were receiving, there were many af-
fecting cases i'm the wards.

ORDER AFFECTS
ENEMY ALIENS
Restrictions Are Modified Under
CabIed Instructions From
President Wilson.
TAKE EFFECT AT ONCE
Regulations Continue to Bar Germans
From Entering or Leaving coun-
try and Power of Intern
mcnt Remains.

Washington, Dec. 24-Attorney Gen
eral Gregory has ordered removed all
restrictions on German enemy aliens
except those applying for entry into
and departure from the United States
and those affecting the power of in
ternment, effective Christmas day.
This action was taken on cabled in
structions from President Wilson and
will affect about 100000 German men
and women. 1t was explained that
the Department of Justice would con-
tinue to exercise the power of intern
ment of dangerous German enemy
aliens and that the order would rot
affect such aliens already interned.
l. Restrictions Lifted.
This statement was issued at the
Department of Justice:
ION the recommendation of the at
torney general, the President has di-
rected that on and after Christmas
day the attorney general discontinue
enforcement of all regulations affect
ing the conduct of male and female
German alien enemies except those re-
strictions which apply to entry into
and departure from the country and
those affecting the power of intern
ment.
This means that on Christmas day
the permit and pass systems effective
against these aliens will be abolished
all over the country and that all pro-
hibited areas and restricted zones will
go out of existence All registration
regulations will likewise cease and it
will no longer be necessary for Ger
man alien enemies to obtain permits
for change of residence. In short, they
will be freed of all restrictions af-
fecting places of residence and en-
ployment.
Internment Power Still Holds.
sThe attorney general, however,
will continue to exercise as hereto
fore the power to intern all dangerous
alien enemies. The action of the
President does not affect in any way
the status of men already interned or
the restrictions and obligations here
tofore imposed on alien enemies now
on parole. Any violation of parole
viii be punished as heretofore"
John Lord O'Brien, special assist
ant to the attorney general, explain
ing why Austrians were not included
in the order, said the only regula-
lions ever applied to them were those
with reference to entry and departure
and internment. The effect of this ac-
ton places Germans and Austrians on
the same footing.
