WOMEN TO REGISTER
Enemy Aliens Must Comply With
Laws Governing Men.
Children Over ii Included in Act to
Protect Nation From Work of
Spies.

Washington, April 22.-Drasllc reg
ulations governing the conduct OF
"alieh enemy" women in the United
States was set forth in proclama-
ton issued by President Wilson.
Under them all women of German
birth or citizenship above the age of
fourteen years must register and COM
ply with all the rules laid down.
This applies, according to officials
of the department Of justice, as
we'll to American women of wealth
who have married German titles as
to women born in that country.
Under the regulations those who
fail to register will be subject to
arrest. They will be barred. except
under special permits, from the same
restricted zones around embarkation
points and war terminals now closed
to male enemy aliens.
The entire District of Columbia is
closed to them, and within 4S hours
all who have been here as transients
must leave. All those who have lived
here for more than year will have
until May to get out.
Arrest and internment for the dura-
ton of the war faces those who dis
obey.
Women of Austro-Hungarian ma
tionality and citizenship are dealt
with far less drastically.
This is to say, the only inhibition
against woman subjects of the latter
country is that they shall not enter
or leave the country without per-
mission, only those classed as dan
gerous or disloyal" being subject to
arrest.

u. S. MEN IN NEXT BIG FIGHT
Pershing Increases Size of the Yankee
Army Given to Foch.

Washington, April 22.-A still more
desperate and sanguinary attempt by
Germany to break through the British
lines to the channel ports is expected
by the allies this week. AS the result
of steps taken by General Pershing
with the consent of Washington, Amer
fcan forces are destined TO participate
on larger scale than hitherto in the
stubborn resistance that will be Of
fered. The lull in the great battle is
regarded here as an indication that the
first German drive has been stopped.
There is every indication that in the
next drive Germany attempts Ameri-
can troops will count heavily In the re-
sistance.
The existing situation and prospec
tive developments are touched upon in
the following excerpts from the war
departments weekly review of military
operations.
"An apparent slackening of hostile
pressure north and south of the Som
me is recorded. though it would be
premature TO assert that the Amiens
objective has been abandoned.
THE fighting in the area centering
around Mount KENNEL continues with
increasing intensity. This key posi-
ton remains in British hands.
Looked at from broad standpoint
of the general military situation In the
west, it cannot, however, be held that
the battle now raging is the final, noI
even the most determined onslaught
o. the enemy.
Unity of command has materially
facilitated strategic problems with
which the allies are pow confronted"

Allied Business Seeks
Marts Germans Held

The formation of the Allied Indus
tries CORPORATION, representing Amer
ican. Frencn and British interests, to
facilitate trade for allied manufact-
urers in foreign markets, particularly
the markets in which German manu-
facturers were interested before the
war, is announced by its president,
Philip Kobbe.
The head offce is at 2l2 Fifth Ave
nue.. On its board Of directors are Al
fred L. du Pont, Francis l. du Pont
and Charles c. dickson, of Wilmington,
Del; Beaumont Alexander, of London,
and Philip KoDbe. J. Edward McGahan
and Duncan NJ Stewart, of New York.
1t is to work in conjunction with the
French American Constructive Corpora
ton, which. it is stated. has already
secured business amounting to S14O,-
100000 for execution after the war.
1t is pointed out that the secret OF
Germanv's success in foreign markets
is syndicatiol of selling costs. For an
expenditure much less than the cost of
direct investigation of foreign markets,
a. manufacturer, by combining with
other manufacturers. was enabled not
only to acquire valuable lrfcrmatlon
regarding foreign markets, but actually
to sell his products in foreign coun-
tries direct from his own samp es. rms
method enabled Germany to increase
her foreign trade to 1922 100000 by
the outbreak OF war.
The Allied Industries Corporation
has adopted g similar plan. According
to Mr. Kobbe. it has a list Of 1900,
rated buyers all over the world, and
is prepared to bring manufacturers IN
non-competlng lines into touch with
them. Beaumont Alexander and the
nucleus of q London staff are to sail
soon for England to open an Office.

Attack ON Darrow
Brings a Defence
OF His Patriotism

Inc surprise with which many in
New York received the news that
Clarence Darrow was coming out of
the West as one Of the speakers in
the Security Leagues educational and
patriotic campaign, and one to whom
the Board Of Education required the
teachers of the city to listen, was re-
fiected IN the letters of protest that
members of the National Security
League received yesterday.
Their answer was that Mr.. Darrow
canism since the United States de-
clared war and was one of the most
vigorous foes Germany had on this
side of the Atlantic
That Clarence Darrow had scarcely
missed patriotic gathering of any
kind in Chicago since the United States
entered the war; that his fiery invec-
tive was turned night and day against
the Germans, apparently regardless of
fees. and that his aid had been sought
by the American Red Cross for the
Forthcoming war fund campaign of that
organization, were incidents that never
got much space in Eastern newspapers,
If they ever reached the Atlantic Coast
at all. But that is Clarence Darrows
recent record, as obtained by Arthur J.
Somers, president of the Board of Edu-
cation. and by George P. West, who in
quired into it for the National Security
League.
Darrow's most spectacular achieve,
ments have been in connection with
the defence Of organized labor He
was chief counsel for the defence when
charges were made against Eugene V
DebS in connection with the Pullman
strike in 1894; he played similar role
when Haywood, Meyer and Pettlbone
were tried in 1909 for the alleged mur-
der OF Governor Steunenberg Of Idaho.
and again he came to the rescue of th
Mcnamara brothers in 1911 when they
were accused of dynamiting The Lo~

German Agents Try
To Frighten Women

PHILADELPHIA, March 10 1t is
charged that an effort is being made
in this city through German propa-
ganda to discourage women from reg
istering for war work with the Wom-
ans Committee Of the Council Of Ma
tional Defence.
The Pennsylvania division, which IS
now making registration campaign.
has learned, according to officials, that
report is being circulated that those
who registered would be sent to
arduous war work, such as making
munitions. etc, without any choice in
the matter. 1t was said here to-day
that the same false story had been
spread in New York during the regis
tration drive there. Apparently, Off
cals said, the propaganda had little or
no effect on the registration here, but
every effort is being made to run down
the author of the false stories.
