SUBJECT TO INTERNMENT
FOR FAILING TO REGISTER
Thousands of Unnaturalized Ger
mans Neglect to Enroll as Re
quired by Justice Department.

Thousands of unnaturalized Germans
failed to enroll with police or postmas-
ters during the registration period
which closed Wednesday, and are sub
ject to internment, it was shown yes
terday by preliminary reports on the
registration reaching the Department
of Justice.
United States marshals and attor-
neys now are engaged in a study of the
registration polls. and within a week
will undertake action against those
who neglected to report as ordered
Most failures were due to misunder-
standing of the requirements, or to
doubt concerning citizenship status, ut
is believed. and it is probable these
men will be permitted to register later
and not be interned. The minority who
refused to register, however, is expect
ed to furnish many recruits for intern
ment camps.
Department Of Justice officials made
it plain that a number of German

bill to include women in the enemy
alien classification. Since records Of
the male registration show facts con-
cerning the history and conduct of
women members of families, it is i'm
probable that another registration
would be arranged for the women if
the measure is passed.

why, if any business man in Wash

taken he would have gone out of busi-

served to do So.
F, In Mr.. Saks' opinion. the voting popu-

suspicion toward Washington business

I'm some instances, where raw ma

have SO increased their production per in
dividual that it has been necessary to cut
down their working forces in order to
avoid surpiusase. In the production of
shells of medium and large caliber the
increased facility of the workers has been
of incredible value.
THE annual production of shells of
large calber. for instance. is fifteen times
as great as it was at the end of 1915: We
produce as many guns in a day as We
produced in month at the beginning of
the war. and We are delighted to observe
that it looks as if the curve of increase
never were going to come to an end.
