1OO GERMAN WOMEN
 WILL REGISTER
Photographs and Finger Marks of Aliens Are. to Be
 Taken; Penalty Heavy for Failure to Follow Orders

Chief George o. Brisbois of the Phoenix police force has received in structions and completed plans for the registration of all German alien women in Phoenix between June 17 and 70. He estimates there are 100 such aliens in Phoenix. All these must appear before him at police headquarters in the city hall between o'clock in the morning and o'clock in the evening on the days specified. Photographs must be brought, two for each woman registered. one to go to Washington and the other to be kept here.
 United States marshals, postmasters and police chiefs in every city of the United States will register between June r and 26 every German alien woman in the United States, recording fingerprints and photographs, and providing the registrant thereafter with an identification card which must be carried on the holders person for the duration of the war.
 Prison for Failure
 The work will be carried out under regulations issued by Attorney General Gregory, and women who do not com ply may be interned, imprisoned or | deported.
 AHltIlCdn WOultn WuO nave German aliens will also be required 10 register under the regulations unless they have taken steps to get a return of their original citizenship status Women of German nationality who have taken out American citizenship papers need not register. The regula- tions also hold that the wife of q German who has become naturalizeo Jata American citizenship is a citizen her self and need not register. German woman who married an American be- fore April 6 is also outside of the class required to register while special pro vision is made in the regulations for | the treatment of natives of Alsace- i Lorraine and of Schleswig- Holstein.
 Police stations in cities of 5000 in 1 habitants or more are designated as registration places and postoffices in the other areas. Details of local pro- cedure are left to the officials charged with the work. Four photographs or i the registrant, each one personally autographed, will be taken, and her affidavit of personal history must show a variety of facts. Her occupation, relationship to soldiers in the German army or to persons now in Germany, | length of residence and circumstances attending arrival in the United States are particular matters of inquiry. The ] regulations emphasize the fact that registration will be considered as "giv- | ing proof of peaceful disposition and | intention to conform with the laws of ! the United States" Each registranr | will be required to state specifically | whether or not she has ever been re- l quired to report to or register with any German military, diplomatic. or i secret agent.
 Finger Prints, Too
 False statements or representations | in the affidavits required will subject 1 the woman concerned to immediate in l ternment. Her card, showing that she has complied with the law, will be 1s- sued within 15 days after her appear ance. It will carry one of the signed photographs and a print of her left thumb. The printed forms provided for the registration have been distrib- uted to the proper officials.
 When the registration has been com 1 pleted, three sets of the affidavits will l be prepared, one of which is to be sent to Washington, the second to be held by the United States marshal within | the district where the women have registered, and the third is to go into | the local record.
 German women who are outside of | the territory in which they usually re- side during the period set for the reg istration must apply for temporary cards in the place where they happen to be and then complete their registra- = tion at home within 30 days. After the registration has been completed, no German woman can change her place of residence without a permit from the nffipialc in, bar oric cip nal 6ictr
