To Round Up Slackers
During the present week the po-
lice will not do anything but reg
lister the aliens as they turn UP at
the police station. Afterwards, it
is said, Il drive will be made to
catch the aliens who do not turn up
for registration. Chief of Police
Wetzel said he does not see how
any alien enemy can escape regis
tratfon, as the officers in the street,
and the residents of American birth,
working together will. unearth any
case of an alien enemy trying TO
dodge the registration.
The police will keep q photo
graph of every alien enemy at head
quarters. One will be placed on his
registration card, one on his ques-
tionnaire, and the United States
marshal in this district will receive
the other. After registration an
alien enemy will not be allowed to
change his residence without per-
mission from the police or United
States government.
Any alient enemy found ten days
after the registration week without
his registration card, will be subject
to internment for the duration of
the war. Absence of the registration
card on the persoin of the alien en-
emy will make him liable to prose-
cution.
Must Furnish Photographs
nish four unmounted photographs
of himself, not larger than three by
three inches in size, on thin paper,
with light background. Each pho
tograph must be signed by the reg
iStrant across the face, so as not to
obscure the features. If the reg
istrant is not able to write he must
make his mark in the signature
space in the registration affidavit
and his left thumb print must be
affixed in the place indicated for the
same opposite the signature space.
The registration officer shall regis
ter the finger prints of each reg
iStrant in a space provided for that
purpose on the registration affidavit.
After ten days, and before the eN-
piration of fifteen days from the last
day fixed for registration, on per-
sonal application of the registrant
at the station where he was regis
tered. a registration card will be
furnished him certifying that he has
registered.
Au registration blanks must be
filled in and sworn to in triplicate.
If the registrant has conscientious
scruples against taking an oath he
may make affirmation to the truth
of his statements and answers in
the registration affidavits.
Permits Void
Alien enemies holding permits to
enter or live in the restricted zones
are not excused from registration,
but must register. irrespective of
whatever permits they may have Sc
cured from the government.
An alien enemy who has declared
his intention to become a citizen of
the United States by taking out his
first papers of naturalization, must
register. since naturalization of alien
enemies cannot be completed during
the period of the war.

man subjects in Alsace-Lorraine
