PROMINENT
men FORCED
TO REGISTER
AS ALIENS
Men Who Served in Civil
War and Men Who Have
Held City Offices Register
as Enemy Aliens.
WILL CLOSE TONIGHT

German alien enemies rushed to
registration headquarters at the City
Hall Wednesday. 1t was their last
chance under the federal ruling. Sew
enty-eight Richmond aliens registered
at police station. Seventeen county
aliens registered at the postoffice.
The police estimate that only one
eighth of the aliens in Richmond had
registered at noon. What disposition
will be made of those who violate the
government ruling was not known
by Superintendent of Police Gormon.
In the list who registered during the
day are the names of men who served
in Lincoln's army during the Civil
war. men who have been elevated to
municipal offices, Spanish American
war veterans, and citizens who have
made Richmond their home for scores
of years:
Slow Progress Made.
The large list proved to the author
tiles that Americanization of immi-
grants and sons of immigrants here
has made slow progress in the past.
The police believe it will be impos-
sible TO complete the registration by
s o'clock tonight, the official hour for
, closing. They called attention to the
repeated warnings the government
had given through the press, urging
aliens not to overlook the listing of
their names.
Some of the men who were forced
to register are victims Of circum-
stances. They believed their fathers
had completed their registration and
were not aware of their standing until
the federal registration was ordered.
Some of these men fought in the
Spanish-American war. One man cast
his first vote for Abraham Lincoln
Others have given tangible evidence
of their loyalty
