UNUSUAL CASE IS
FOUND AS WOMAN
ALIEN REGISTERS

Only three female enemy aliens
have registered in Moline so far.
OF those three one was born in the
United States and has always lived
here, her parents were born here,
but the complication arises over the
fact that she married a man who
was born in Germany, but who
came over to this country when he
was only 9 months old and who
thought until recently that he was
an American citizen. Therefore it
would not seem that the family had
any great German sympathies. But
to play safe Uncle Sam has COM
PEELED to register persons even so
distantIy connected with the Hun
race.
Another woman applying for reg
istre.tion blanks said that she hated
Germany. that she was born in
France. but had married a man
who was born in Germany, but who
moved at an early age to France.
