THREE ENEMY ALIENS
REGISTERED IN ABILENE

Three enemy aliens have register
ed at the postoffice in Abilene. This
is remarkably low number for a
community. The time limit for the
registration of enemy aliens, to have
expired at 6 o'clock tonight, has been
extended to Wednesday, February
10, a dispatch states No word has
been received at the jostoffice, but
the time will be extended.
A Misunderstanding seems to exist
as to the requirements of registra-
ton. The ruling specifies that all
enemy aliens above the age of 4
years, not fully admitted to citizen
ship, must register. The registration
is merely an act of good faith and
violation of the law carries the pen
atty Of internment for the duration
of the war. Those who have taken
out their first papers must register
Internment will be without trial and
on the recommendation of the Uni
ted States marshal.

GOLDEN BELT IN GEARY

Junction City Union: Blair Boyle,
county engineer, is to start work at
once on the plans and specifications
for the new eighteen-foot concrete
highway to be built to connect juno
ton City and Fort Riley. Mr.. Boyle,
who has had several years of expert
ence in concrete road building, pro-
poses to employ a richer mixture of
concrete than that heretofore used
on any Geary county road, and guar
antees that the new highway will
stand up under the heavy town-to-
post traffic. The plans for the new
must be approved by the
state highway commission before
work can be begun.

MISSING LEG OR ARM
DOESN'T MATTER NOW

A missing arm or foot will not ex-
empt a man from the national army
under the new rules for physical ex-
limitations. Careful study OF the
newt regulations by local draft
boards in Kansas today disclosed this
aud other liberal variations from
the gorfginal rules. The new rules
will necessitate re-examination Of all
registrants rejected in the original
examinations.
Men with an arm or foot missing
and with other defects will be assign
ed to a class for special or limited
service. They will be accepted for
service as motor mechanics, clerks,
cooks and bakers. The board here
is arranging to resume physical ex-
aminations. Altho the classification
system contemplates the examination
of all registrants listed with district
boards, most of the boards will dis
continue temporarily when they have
completed Glass / and await further
orders from the provost marshal be-
fore beginning on Glass 2.
