Alvin E. Jones of Oshkosh has been
found guilty of violating the sugar
regulations. He admitted that of the
1000 pounds of sugar that he sold the
Cakes Candy Company in May, he de-
livered 500 pounds on June IL and did
not take the certificate as was then
required under the sugar regulations
His contention is that the sale was
made in May and that he was within
his rights in delivering May order in
June without certificates. The sworn
statement, however, of Cakes and Co.
filed in the Sugar Division on June 8th
reports no sugar contracted for from
Mr.. Jones. In view of this report by
Cakes and Co. it is apparent that the
delivery of 500 pounds in June with
out certificate was a violation of the
sugar regulations. The business has
been closed during the week before
this hearing before the Enforcement
Division of the State Food Admins
tration, and Mr.. Swenson ordered that
it remain closed until July 5th and
that Mr.. Jones pay 800 to the Red
Cross Chapter of Oshkosh.

GERMAN. WOMEN IN BRIDGEPORT
 MUST REGISTER
Continued from Page 1.J

families of enemy aliens living within the limits of Bridgeport.
 Each woman affected by the new ruling of the United States govern ment will be duly notified for regis tration at police headquarters. This notification will be sent to them by card, giving them the day and the hour to report at the Enemy Alien ureau at police headquarters.
 All the names will be divided into classes and split up into sections, so that each section will report at about the same time and will not be too large for the staff engaged upon the work to handle. There will be no unnecessary delays, the women will not be kept standing in line waiting for their turn, provided they arrive at the time specified, and answer all questions fully and clearly. Superintendent Suckley expects the registering of the German women will take much less time than the men took up, because a. great number of them can report immediately they are notified.
 The squad which will have charge of the work are now experts in this line and the tabulating of all infor- nation regarding the German women in Bridgeport will be finished in re- cord time.
 In the orders issued to the police department to carry out this regis tration of enemy females, it was stat ed the police department would be supplied with all the blanks and
 forms which are necessary by the Department of Justice, and receive the
 prompt and efficient cooperation of that department in the work.
 Up to the present the police are in possession of great part of the in- formation required for this work, as : all the enemy aliens who registered short time ago had to give their
 family history and enumerate the q number of women and children in . their families.
 One 'of the items which it is deemed
 prudent to impress upon enemy aliens is the fact that in case an American T woman has married an enemy aier I she is classed the same as her bus
 band until such time as he become: Q an American citizen.
 The decision to register all chem! :. alien females in the country was ar rived at in Washington after it haf N been provedl beyond a doubt that Ger |, man women in America were just a = dangerous, and in many instance IL more so, than German men, not alon
 in espionage, but in acts of wa e against the United States which calle 7; for physical violence.
 II Agents of the Department of Jus 'o tice have unearthed innumerabl
 plots against this country which wer ? being carried out by women, who p to the time of their apprehension Il were allowed to travel at will through pr out the country, and even to wis l places of vital military importanc
