REGISTRATION 0F GERMAN WOMEN
 BEGINS AUG. }
Instructions Are Received by Deputy Marshal Hagen Regarding
 Female Enemies.

The following telegram, which is self explanatory, was received last night by James Hagen, U. s. deputy marshal, from the marshaPs office in Fairbanks:
 Fairbanks, June 27, 1918 "Hagen, Nenana
 ''Time fixed by Attorney General for German alien female registra- tion Alaska is August fifth to four teenth inclusive, excluding Sunday, August eleventh. Postmasters reg istration officers, same as registra- tion males. Notify all postmasters your district also give widest pub licity possible. Forms and instruc- tions following in mail.

 The registration of German alien women went into effect in the States on June 17th, under the following Government regulations which cover the registration of such aliens throughout the nation.
 WASHINGTON, D. C.-United States marshals, postmasters and police chiefs in every city of the United States will register between June IF and 26 every German alien woman in the United States, record ing fingerprints and photographs, and providing the registrant there after with an Identification card, which must be carried on the hold CTS person for the duration of the war.
 The work will be carried out un- der regulations issued by the At torney General Gregory, and women who do not comply may be interned, imprisoned or deported.
 American women who have mar ried German aliens will also be re- quired to register, under the regu- lations, unless they have taken steps to get return of their origi- nal citizenship status. Women of German nationality who have taken out American citizenship naners need not register. The regulations also hold that the wife of a Ger.

within thirty days. After the regis tration has been completed, no Ger man woman can change her place of residence without a permit from the officials in her original district, and records of such changes will be filed with the original affidavits in three places. Power to deny such permit of change of residence is given to the registration officials, though they must submit a report of their reasons for denying it.
 The regulations admonish regiser- ing officials to be courteous in their treatment of the women and to render all necessary assistance in filling out the affidavit blanks. The photographs required must be un- mounted, and without hat or other head covering" Special provisions are made for Hawaii, the Phillip pines, and other outlying territories of the United States, but the regis tration is compulsory over the en- tire area.

FOOD CONTROL OR NO FOOD
 TO CONTROL

Which is perferable-food con- trol or no food to control? Let those who have resented national food regulations ponder this.
 The worlds food supply is meas urable in difinite units. There IS now a definite shortage. War has played havoc both with production and distribution. The food supply of the Allied countries must be pooled.
 To meet this war eme '::ercy and to make the limited food supply reach as far as possible, Food con- trollers or administrators have been appointed in all warning countries.
 The United States Food Admin stration has labored to reduce waste to prevent hoarding, to combat pro- fiteering and to eliminate illegiti- mate trading. In the case. of the wholesaler this has been accom- plished through the license system :; with the retailer failure to cooper ate with the administration has been met by a refusal on the part of

the wholesaler to sell him goods.

the wholesaler to sell him goods.
 But with the individual con- sumer, conservation and food shar- ing has been entirely a volunteer matter. The spirit of voluntary CO., operation has increased with an increasing consciousness of the se- riousness of the situation.
 With the enemy hammering against the Allied defense in a great spring drive, the American people have awaked with a start to the need of plenty of nourishing food for the soldiers and civilians over there. They must have wheat. We can eat other things. The United States Food Administration, therefore, has asked all households to refrain from eating more than one and one-half pounds of wheat flour per week per person. There are many house. holds who will do even better than this. There are still others who have already volunteered to do with out wheat entirely until our own supply is replenished with the com ing harvest.
 Is it better to exercise food con- trol or to have no food to control?

man who has become naturalized and has completed the requirement of American citizenship is a citizen herself, and need not register. A German woman who married an American before April is also outside of the class required to register, while special provision is made in the regulations for the treatment of natives of Alsace-Lor- raine and of Schleswig- -Holstein.
 Police stations in cities of 5000 inhabitants or more are designated as registration places, and post offices in other areas. Details of local procedure are left to the off cials charged with the work. Four photographs of the registrant, each one personally autographed, will he taken, and her affidavit of personal history must show a variety of facts. Her occupation, relationship to sol diers in the German army or to per sons now in Germany, length of residence and circumstances attend ing arrival in the United States are particular matters of inquiry. The regulations emphasize the fact that registration will be considered as giving proof of peaceful disposi- tion and intention to conform with the laws of the United States" Each registrant will be required to state specifically whether or not she has even been required to report to or register with any German military, diplomat, or secret agent.
 False statements or representa- tions in the affidavits required will subject the woman concerned to i'm. mediate internment. Her card
 showing that she has complied with
 the law, will be issued to her within
 15 days after her appearance. Il

BOL LSHEVISM-- The Undoing
 of the Russian Empire.

NEW YORK.-The distress,hope lessness and chaos which overwhelm- ed of the well-to-do and official classes in the Russian revolution are vividly portrayed from the standpoint of Russian woman in a letter received by her former classmate in this country. The writer is a daughter of Russian diplomat, who was con- nected with the Russian embassy in Washington about twenty years ago and a widow of an officer in the Russian army who was killed early in the war.
 Russia, crushed by exterior and interior enemies, justly despised and abhorred by the great countries that once trusted her, is ruined and dis appearing" she wrote. ''My coun- try is ceasing to exist. It was bad enough before the March revolution, when our unhappy, half-witted em- peror, under the influence of his German wife, seemed to do every thing possible to make people lose patience. We have a thousand an onymous potentates, the top ones paid by Germany, and the lower ones lured into supporting them by money, money, and money.
 "The present government has abolished all laws, ali courts, the police, land ownership, all private real estate in towns, all distinction of castes and grades in the army and navy. They have seized all the banks, are opening all the private safes and confiscating all gold and silver found therein though it had never been said before that it was criminal to have it.
 "Of course, everything they de cree is so mad that it is quite sure not to last forever, but the chaos they make will take centuries to for get. The country is going back to savage state. And we will not live to wait for better times.
 "All Russia is suffocating-every day brings new surprises that show that there is but one way out of it the grave. On the ground of liberty they abolish all laws, judges, attorneys, and substitute for it peoples courts of justice with only soldiers, workmen or peasants, often quite illiterate and always without the slightest knowledge of court proceedings, taking the places of the former judiciary.
 "On the same ground they abolish all police, let loose all the criminals from the prisons, arm them, con- stituting from their number to- gether with workmen, deserters and hooligans a red guard and fill the prisons to their utmost with all those who crave for order and will not work together with them towards the total ruin of the country.
 "On the pretense of equality they abolish all grades in the army and navy and make all posts elective by the simple soldiers. In most places it is understood as complete extermination, lynching of the off cers, who, for being better educated are under suspicion of being counter revolutionary. The highest post: are occupied by elected soldiers who very often can hardly sign theil names, and the former officers are made simple soldiers with a soldier: pay of $3.50 a month and ordered to the lowest tasks; cleaning of th'
 barracks, cooking food, taking care
 of the horses.
 within thirty days. After the regis
The Nenana daily news., 1918-06-28

Our great country cOulQ only exist when all the wheels of the government were working in har- mony. Now everything is a perfect chaos. Everybody was willing to throw over the czaristic government, but not in order to change it for this one of loot, anarchy and Urea son toward our Allies. Oh, the shame the disgrace and the folly of it.
 "The army which now consists of young boys (the regular oue is long ago killed) without any sense of duty, morals and discipline, see their acquired freedom in the free dom to go home when they want to. And so all the trains. all the stations, are attacked and destroyed by this horde of savages, who kill engineers, if it seems to them the train goes too slowly, who martyrize the railway agents who tell them of the impossibility of starting their train for there is another ono ,.om- ing towards them in the same time. As this human flood goes home without any organization, everything is footed and destroyed.
 "Some months ago, I was be- lieving myself to be quite well off I have a house in Petrograd. Last spring I was offered S125,000 for it, but was advised not to sell and go over to America to have my little girl become a happy American school girl. Now-I have on hand about $2,OOO and no other resources the house, like other private property is being confiscated, the revenue going to the government, that is to say to the private pockets of the usurpers. The government bon;.s-- annulated (repudiated) and even if I had not more money-believe me there is nothing to buy.
 "Petrograd will begin to die from hunger one of these days. And those who are the authors of it are sure to escape at the last moment abroad and live happily afterwal ds with the millions they will have robbed, and leave the country to it's dreadful fate.
 Life in Petrograd is horrible all the criminals, all the workmen and demoralized soldiers rob the few cars that still bring some kind of products. In the very heart Of the city, in daytime, you have your clothes taken off your back liter ally. Just think that there is no police, nobody to call for help, for those who would like to help have had their firearms confiscated, even the officers, even the highest gen. erals. All the soldiers, etc., are armed and have become highway men. At any moment you can ex- pect a number of them coming into your private lodging and, under the pretense of 'perquisition' take away all your money and valuables.
 "And as the government declares that in a real Socialistic state nc crime against private property vii be considered as such, for the big gest of all crimes is just the crime of private ownership so you sec there is nowhere to look for help
 "Our money is not accepted any where abroad. Russia is bankrupt so that it is impossible to escape All my friends and relatives are il the same position. Everybody live on their last money, even those wht were quite rich. Their money wa in government or private bonds, ant as they are declared void, where vii you get the money from? My poo mind cannot grasp the whole thing it is too great a madness. I hop with all my heart that my dea American friends are happy-it :;
