TOTAL OF LIBERTY BOND SALES HERE
AMOUNT TO s265OOO this MORNING
Three Hund,ed Persons Bought exandraonor Roll
Growing Daiy Hoped Entire Allotment VIII be DIS
posed of by
posed of by Tonight.

Liberty bonds are selling like TIT
proyerbial hot cakes in Alexandria
Three hundred persons bought bond:
yesterday, and the total number o.
BUYERS has reached nearly 1000. Alex
andrians are "going over the top" fol-
Uncle Sam. The cry of the nation fol-
100000 bond buyers will be heed
ed if the other cities of the nation dc
in proportion what Alexandria appear;
to be doing.
The Honor Roll at the Allen drug
store is growing daily, and will 500,
cover the entire display window. It
is viewed by thousands of people daily
No criticism is attached to those peo-
pie who cannot afford to buy bonds
but the Liberty Loan Committee hopes
that at the end of the campaign there
will not be any names of persons
missing who can afford to buy bonds
The committee wants Alexandria to be
100 per cent patriotic in this great
call to the nation for moral as well as
financial support.
The total bond sales up to this
morning were $265,00O, or only $19,-
600 short of the allotment set by the
Government. BY evening it is believed
that the entire allotment will be sold,
and Alexandria will have the right to
fly the Honor Flag of the Treasury
Department.
How far Alexandria will go over the
allotment is now the question. If the
sales continue as they have the last
day or two, the 100000 mark is 4
certainty, and Alexandria would hold
glorious place in the Virginia Roll of
Honor.
The county also expects to make n
great showing. The county and city
are a unit and the total will go on
the records as one. The county's allot-
ment is $4,000 and the sales as re-
ported by the county chairman, e.
Wade Ball. up to Thursday were
$4,000.
The Liberty Loan campaign closes
a week from today Next week should
be the big week Of the campaign, and
every man, woman and child in the
city that can hay a bond by paying
for it with cash or out of future saw
ings should do SO.
The Liberty Loan Committee and a
number of other citizens will go to
Camp Humphreys this afternoon and
sell bonds to the working men there.
They also go out tomorrow afternoon
in order to attend the aag-raising SER
vices at the camp.

To His Honor, the Mayor.
Sir-I have the ho,ior to express TO
YOU my appreciation of the effective
assistance which you and your Ponce
Department rendered in the recent
registration of the male German aliens
and to inform you that am calling
upon you again to render through your
Police Department further service to

tionsis about to be undertaken by the

November 16, 1917, in respect to the
registration of male German aliens,
are extended to female German aliens
by virtue of the authority conferred
upon the President by the amendment
of Section 4067 United States Revised
Statutes by Act of Congress approved
April 16, 1918.
The plan of the registration of the
German alien women, who are estimat-
ed to be about the same in number as
the German alien males, will be sub
stantially that followed in the regis
tration of German males. feel that
the registration of such persons in
your city can, in this instance as in the
registration of the German males, be
most effectively ard promptly carried
out by your Police Department.
The Department of Justice will fur
nish all the necessary affidavits, cards
and other forms, and issue instructions
for the work.
I am relying upon your wholeheart-
ed cooperation in the performance of
this additional service to the country
in the war, and | trust to hear from
you at your very earliest convenience
that you have instructed your Police
Department to administer the details
of the registration of the German alien
women under the general supervision
and direction of the Department of
Justice.
Respectfully,
T. w. GREGORY,
Attorney General.
