THE FIRST HLAF MILLION.

Last Jauay Secretary Of War Baker stated that early
in this year the United States would have 100000 men in
France He says that prediction has been made good
He does not indicate how many American soldiers are
there but the suspicion is that the actual number far e
ceeds the 100000 mentioned by Secretary Baker This
suspicion is based upon the knowledge that for the last
two months soldiers have been sent over in much greater
numbers than had been anticipated
Mr.. Baker at the time he promised to have 500
90 men in France early this year also said this govern
ment would send 100000 men across during 1918
Having made good the first part Of his prediction the
country viii be inclined give full faith to the second
part and look forward to its fulfment before Deem
Der ST. If that be accomplished there is good reason
10 hope that the spring campaign of 1919 viii witness the
decisive battles which win end the war.

sQUARE Deal FOR ALIENS URGED
The Alien Registration Does Not
Mean Al Are Under Suspicion.

Washington, FEB. "a squefe Ge3i
for the German citizens who must reg
lister as an alien enemy but is law
abiding and loyal, is urged in a state
ment issued by Attorney General Greg-
ory.
The attorney general emphasizes that
the registration, which will begin Mon
day. does not me9n that every alien is
under suspicion, and he adjurcs the
American people that, in compliance
with the pres ident's proclamation OF
april 6, they treat the Germans with
al such friendliness as may be COM
ratikle With the loyalty and allegiance
to the United States"
''The ma iority of Germans says the
attorney generals statement, 'iwho
have taken us their residence in the
United States, but, for one reas on or
another, have neglected or failed to
Lecome American citizens are un-
doubtedly willing to be loyal and law
abiding.
I'm the interest of public safety,
however, they must be registered and
obey the allen enemy regulations. The
mere fact that man is registered as
an alien enemy should not be taken as
reason for dis elimination against
him by his employer or by the COM
munity in which he lives.
"The ellen enemy laws and regula-
tions will be rigidly and aggressively
enforced and penalties prescribed for
their violation imposed without excep-
ton.
But no possible good will come
from unnecess ary hardships or discri-
limitations inflicted by private citizens
upon those alien enemies who remain
law-abiding and loyal. Their work
contributes to the resources of the
country and therefore to the strength
of the country in the war"
