GERMAN STRIKES APPEAR ID BE
 AT AN END

LONDON, Feb. With the ex- ception of a new movement at Jena reported by the Tageblatt of Berlin, the German strikes appear virtually to have ended. The leaders of the strikers advised work be resumed to- day.
 German newspapers record no dis turbances in Berlin Saturday. The directors of the Krupp works report, the Cologne Gazette says, that only 400 out of the 10000 workmen went on strike and that these were fined or dismissed
 The Berlin Vorwaerts says that the building in which the court mar tial is sitting is closed to the public and guarded by troops. Heinrich Schultze, the first prisoner to be tried. was sentenced to imprisonment for six months for having distributed leaflets, urging workers to strike.

MANY AL|ENSARE COMPELLED ID
 REGISTER
By Associated Press.

WASHINGTON, D. C., Feb. A. Thousands of unnaturalized Germans living in the United States were registered today with the police oi cities or the postmasters in small communities Under the rules of the department of justice providing for q complete census of German enemy aliens, the registration is to continue enc week. About half a million are expected to enroll.
 The present penalty for violations of any of the provisions of President Wilson's alien enemy proclamation is internnent for the period of the war, but if policy suggested by high government officials is pursued there will be a revision of the law in order to make the punishment more drastic.
 Before the clock strikes midnight Saturday every one of the German aliens in this country-not including women, or children under the age of IA years-must have registered or will DC NOHSlONlSu d udhSSiOuS N'SOAi anu will be interned. The registration does not apply to Austrians or Hun garians.
 A certified card, showing that he has been registered, must be carried at all times on the person of German aliens and he may not change his place of residence without first notifying and obtaining permission of the police or postmaster of the town or city in which he lives.
 Earlier plans for the gradual regis tration of Germans in the United States with those in the eastern sec ton to come first, were abandoned when 1t was intimated that some Ger mans might avoid registration by moving from one district to another.

BIG STEAM TRACTORS ARE
 NOW EN R0UTE;;. 1000 ACRES
 T0BEPUTUNDER AVIATION

If the record of production set last year by the Little Chino farmers is kept up, this should mean an annual ret income from this land of between $500 900 and S75O,O0O and ii it is added thereto the revenue to be derived from the balance of the tract, will reach much larger figures.
 It is understood that in addition to developing the large tract of irrigat- ed land, the new owners intenS to develop a large livestock ranch in Lonesome valley, the excellent work of MT. Bates of the agricultural de- partment of the State University hav- ing shown what can be done toward raising forage crops without irriga- tion, so the new venture contains nothing of novel or experimental.
 The building of the dam in Willow creek will flood the tract of land known as the Wynkoop ranch, oper- ated under a lease by Messrs Dolly and Ruffner, but the loss of that tract of lank will bring an acreage many times as great, so the net re- turn will be great, even with the loss of that tract of land.
 MT. Carter has placed w. M. Graves of Little Chino in local charge of the the 3l 900 acres of which he took pos session yesterday morning, and MT. Graves will soon begin farming oper- ations covering the S.000-acre tract named, and when this has been done the acreage will be increased as rapidly as may be needed.
