NET CLOSES ON
PROPAGANDISTS
Drastic Penalties Provided for
Enemies of United States in
Prosecution Of w ar by
Measure Signed by Wilson

WASHINGTON, May 22.-Enemy
propagandists in the United States to-
day found themselves in a close-mesh-
ed net following the signing by Pres
ident Wilson of the "Sedition bill
This measure is the most drastic ever
enacted 20 catch and punish the enemy
agent who never commits an overt,
disloyal act.
1t imposes a prison sentence of 20
years, a fine of $4,000 or both on any
person who writes, prints or utters any
thing tending to obStruCt a liberty loan
campaign, recruiting for the army or
navy, or anything villifying the gov
eminent or officials or tending to in
cite resistance to them or who by
word or deed favors the cause Of Ger
many or her allies.
1t takes away mail privileges from
persons convicted of violating it. Ii
a man violates the act, no mail adj
dressed to him, and none sent out By
him, will be delivered. Under the new
law, certain pro-German preachers and
lecturers, who have cleverly camou-
flaged their treason, will be forced TO
change their tactics or face prosecu-
ton. The law amends the espionage
act, and, according to department OF
Justice officials, provides them with
Just the power they have long needed
to catch the cleverer sort of enemy
agents and sympathizers.
1t is one of a trio of laws Presl-
dent Wilson asked congress to enact to
strengthen the government in dealing
with internal enemies. The others are
the bill penalizing sabotage and de-
struction of war materials and that in
GLIDING women under the terms OF the
enemy alien law. All are now in et-
feet.
The department of justice today an
nounced that registration of women I'M
der the last named law will begin Mon
day, June II, and continue until June 20.
Police departments in cities of 5000
or more will conduct the registration,
and in smaller communities, it will be
done by the postmaster.

MILLION YOUTHS WILL
REGISTER ON JUNE 9TH
Of These Probably 100000
Will Be Available for
the Army

WASHINGTON, May 21.-Estimates
by Major General Crowder. provost
marshal general, indicate that probably
three-quarters of a million men will be
obtained for the army by the registra-
tion on June of all youths who have
attained the age of 81 since June .,
last.
Fully a million youths, according to
General Crowder's estimate, will be reg
lstered At least one-fourth of them,
he thinks, will be exempted on various
grounds.
A statement by Secretary Baker Civ
ing the estimate and outlining plans for
the call, given out today, read:
Secretary Bakers Statement
Probably three-quarters of a million
men will be added to the American army
in the making, by the registration, on
June 3, next, of boys who have reach
ed the age 70 81 since June 5, 1911,
or who will be 81 on or before June 5,
1918 This estimate was made today
by Provost Marshal General Crowder,
who will direct the registration.
General Crowder's estimate was bas-
ed on the fact that almost 100000
men registered last year. This number
included all between 81 and 81. Sta
tistics collected by General Crowder's
office show that a little more than FER
cent of these men were 81 years old.
On that basis, il is estimated by Off
Gals working under General Crowder,
that this years registration will exceed
1000, 900.
"Of this number, General Crowder es-
Inmates three-quarters, or about $780,,
600, will he available for military serv-
ice. This makes proper allowances for
physical defects, exemptions because Of
dependents and other bars to military
service.
All Males Included
Under President Wilson's proclama-
ton. all male persons, citizens or aliens,
must register. The only persons eX-
cepted are officers and enlisted men OF
the regular army, navy and marine
corps, and the national guard and naval
militia, while in federal service, and
Officers of the officers reserve corps
and enlisted men in the enlisted re-
serve corps while in active service. .
General Crowder plans to have he
local boards keep their offices opened
for registration purposes between and
9 D. m. on June 5. Between those hours
all young men who we're born between
June 5, 1896, and June 6, 1897, must
register. These men are subject to the
provisions of the selective service act,
under which the first registration was
held"
