ALIEN WOMEN MUST REGISTER

ALIEN WUMEN MUST kEGlSlEk
The registration of female Ger
man Aliens begins Monday June II
and continues until Wednesday night,
June 2e, ea.lldIng Sunday the 23d.
Registration for Sank Centre aliens
| is to be made at the postoffice
under the direction of Postmaster
| Joseph A. Schoenhoff. The regis
tration rules which are published be-
low are strict and it is important that
each woman who is required to regis
ter give particular heed to them.
The reason for the governments re-
quirements in this matter is that in
| so doing the aliens give proof of their
peaceful dispositions and of their in
tention to conform to the laws of the
| United States. Failure to register
gives the government reason to infer
that intentions are not Of the best
and also make the persons involved
liable to severe punishment.
Each registrant is required to fur
nish four unmounted photographs of
herself 3x3 in size, printed on thin pa
per with a light background. For
further information inquire of Mr..
Schoenhoff.
