ALIEN ENEMY WOMEN
MUST BE REGISTERED

Every alien enemy woman IA years
old or more must register within ten
days beginning June II, or face the
possibility Of being informed for the
period Of the war, announces the
North Dakota council Of defense.
n BY "alien enemy wOmen"-or "fe-
males" to use the term of the Presi-

proclamation, which Is interpreted by
the Department of Justice to. mean
completely naturalized-that is to say
that they have received their last
naturalization papers. Merely to have
taken out first papers will not serve
to avoid registration. Native born
women married to unnaturalized Ger

included.

one Of the advantages enjoyed by this
particular elevator after signing the
voluntary agreement which coded to
the Grain Corporation the right to con-
troll storage and direct shipments and
sales of all wheat bought by the pro-
prietOr.
While voluntary, this agreement is
almost compulsory since railroads give
priority recognition to Grain Corpora
ton requests for cars; and elevators
or mills outside the official fold must
rustic for themselves. In return the
Government guarantees the elevator
proprietor against losses and protects
him in every way as to price and pays
him rentals for all storage space requi-
sitioned by It.

cense? 1t requires the operator to lay
all cards on the table as to his bust

war the elevator becomes public util-
ity and its proprietor must furnish in
formation as to his business at any
time when required by the Grain Cor
poration. Each week he must make

MEMORIAL TO GEN. GRANT
TO BE FINISHED THIS YEAR
Marble Superstructure in Botanic
/, Garden and Other Features
III Are Now Complete.

IF nothing happens to prevent the
marble and bronze memorial to Cen
u. S. Grant in the Botanic Garden may
be completed before the. close of the
present calendar year. The construc-
ton of the memorial was authorized by
Congress in 1901. and the sum of s240.-
900 was appropriated for the purpose.
The design submitted in competition
by Henry NJ Shrady, sculptor. and Ed
win P. Casey. architect, both of New
York, was adopted and they were given
the contract for the work.
Because of opposition to the Botanic
Garden site and other causes work on
the memorial did not actually begin
until 1907. According TO Col. Ridley, the
engineer officer in charge of public
buildings and grounds, the marble su-
perstructure now is complete and the
four bronze lions and eight bronze lamp
posts, are in position. The work ~hscl
remains to be done to complete the
memorial, he says, Is the placing OF
the equestrian group of the military
hero of the civil war and the bas-re
lefs on the central pedestal.
Mr. Shrady, the sculptor, he adds, is
now enlarging TO mn size the small
model Of the equestrian group and ex-
poets by the early summer to complete
it ready for casting into bronze. If that
expectation is realized the equestrian
group may be put in position and dedi-
Gated during the coming fall. Already y
work, and existing contracts call for
the expenditure of S40.665 more, max
ing the total cost slightly less than the
appropriation of $4,000.
