In anticipation of early orders di- recting how the task is to be accom- plished. Assistant Superintendent of Police Charles H. Suckley is today or ganizing his forces to prepare for the of alien enemies in this city. in accordance with the regula- tions promulgated in President Will sons proclamation of November 18th.
 Every German alien. whether man, woman or child, will have to register under this new law. and it is believed that the arrangement will become eff fective very soon. Cards are being printed by the government for the purpose. and will shortly be in the hands of the local police.
 At present. the only Germans regis tered are those of draft age and those who have permits to go in and out of restricted areas. A list of all of the known alien enemies living here has been forwarded to Washington.
 The Attorney General is to desig- ante the day when the registration is to take place.

Hartford. Jan. That money rep absolutely necessary materials with which the war may be prosecuted, and that the government cannot se- cure the necessary s1s.0Oo. GOO. 600 worth of war materials unless individuals in all parts of the country are willing to forego a certain proportion of the purchasing power, represented there by, was asserted today in a statement issued by Howell Cheney, state direc- tor of the National War Savings Com mittee. The statement is as follows:
 "The initiation of the work of the National War Savings Committee has met with an almost universal re- sponse from individuals. Many re- quests have been received from per sons asking that they be assigned to work so that they may participate in the thrift movement. On the other hand there has been opposition in itiated bY those who foresee in this movement to promote thrift an effort to curtail the sales of non essentials. Their vision is clear that it is going to affect their business, and they are voicing a just protest, in so far as there is a probability of a. misunder- standing. as to what are, essential or non-essentiaI industries, or to be more exact, what are the more essential or the less essential.
 ''Obviously the more essential in dustries are not only those necessary for the production of war supplies and munitions. Even greater than these are the normal demands of our coun- try for the supplies necessary to sup port its civic population and to con- tinue 1t in a state of productive eft1- ciency. It should be equally clear that in the readiustment we must strive to curtail our resources and our invested capital. thereby preventing a deterioration which would be de-
 structiye to our ability to enter the world competition for trade at the Iconclusion of the war.
 'Tt is also clear, especially to man. ufacturers, that there are certalr classes of employees who would bS valueless if transferred from one in dustrv to another. The manufacture knows that his greatest manufactur' ling problem. on it's human side, +
 the mobility of labor. the tremendous numbers he must employ to maintaiT
 a force at a certain level. to say nothing of increasing it. Since th'
 war began there are few manufactur Iers who have escaped the experience

GERMAN PEOPLE FEAR AMERICAN
 RAID FROM AIR

London, Jan. Allied air raids over Germany are awakening the peo- pie to a recognition of their rulers mistaken air ruthlessness, according to the Amsterdam correspondent of the Times. There is great nervous ness throughout Germany, especial ly in the more exposed parts, he says, because of reported intentions of the Americans to invade Germany by air. The subject is discussed generally, though efforts are made to calm anx- iety by declarations about American bluff.''
 The frequent exp1osions in intuition factories. the correspondent adds. are causing the German military authori- ties anxiety, not only because of the Interference with the supply of muni- tions, but also because of unrest in the districts where the explosions oc- cur. The unrest has been acute since the advent of frost.

of a ratio of employes double the number of positions to be maintained.
 ''It is much easier to outline the es- sentiaI industries as above than the non-essentia1 It may be said, how ever. that the non essential are those not engaged in the making of muni- tions, the support of our civic popu- Iation. those not required in prepar- ing or maintaining us for trade com petition after the war, and those which are not adaptable to war op- erations It is therefore clear that the country has only one business, and that is the making of war. It is true, relatively rather than absolute ly, that if all manufacturers, mer- chants, and employers observe this one business in the spirit, and to the degree that their conscfences dictate, the public will find no fault. The florists, candy makers. Jewellers, and silk manufacturers alike have the right to ask the public to be patient with their efforts to bring about an adjustment. which will help them to do their utmost to concert the non essential into essential war produc- ton. No one appreciates more than these the difficulty of doing this task, but if we approach the problem with 1 the determnation to do our utmost, we are sure of the cooperation of the public end of the government. If
 this problem is approached only from the viewpoint of conserving profits, the offenders have no right place at the bar of justice at the present time.
 "AlI that the government is asking at present is to face this this problem honestly and Loyalty. We must re- member that the business of this country must. during the coming year. go as far towards doubling it's lcapacity as possible. The feeling that icurtailment in the production and
 distribution of the less essentials is
 going to so disturb credits as to pro- duce a financial panic and stringency has no bearing when it is realized itnat it is not the shutting off of any Industry or commerce as a, whole, but results in only the diverting of a
 small proportion of it toward war ne-
 cessities.
 Finally let us approach this prob Hem from an unselfish point of view. ILet US assume that our neighbors are
 going to do their best rather than
 their least in suporting our armies land in assuming the economic burden
 at home by producing amounts nearly
 double the normal capacity of our lcountry. in peace times"

ALLIES EXCHANGE
 VIEWS ON HUNS' TERMS OF PEACE

London, Jan. Tine British gov ernnent recognizes that the Brest Litovsk peace proposals constitute grave and new fact of which official cognizance must be taken, says the Daily Chronicle in reporting. as did the Manchester Guardian yesterday, that the British government intends to return a serious and reasoned re- ply to the Austro-German peace terms when presented officially. The Chronicle adds that the United States, Great Britain, France and Italy already are exchanging views concerning the peace proposals.
 The reported visit of Premier Lloyd-George to Premier Clemenceau, it declares, is an intelligent anticipa- ton which may or may not be realiz- ed.

NEW YEARS EVE
 CELEBRATIONS
 GREAT SUCCESS

For a brief few hours last night Bridgeport tried hard to forget the life and death struggle in which the nation is engaged and extended the right royal hand of welcome to the New Year in a manner that surpassed all previous records for churches, clubs. theatres. hotels and restau- rants.
 Shortage of the 1uxuries of peace times was forgotten and the entire city gave itself over to speeding the old year on it's way and wildly ac- claiming the new one.
 Many of the parties lacked their old time ''pep" on account of some mem Der being with the colors either afoat or ashore. but the toasts that were proposed to the absent ones were drunk to with a sincerity that must have reached over space and glad dened the heart of some "Doughboy'' or Jackie"
 The Brooklawn club celebrated the advent of the New Year with an elab- crate program. while the Bridgeport and Algonuuin clubs entertained the DiSSeSI CIO"dS III I1O AA9IO4y OA GAOoO institutions.
 Manager Cantwel of the Hotel Stratfeld was voted the most hos pitable of hosts and played no small part in, making the event mem orab1e one in Bridgeport. Cantwell made his guests feel as though the best in the house was none too good and 1t was with reluctance that the five hundred dancers listened to the strains of Home. Sweet Home.' | At the Atlantic hotel. Terrw Lee, as- sisted by Phil Kauvar. staged an en- tertainment that surpassed anything hitherto attempted in Bridgeport and it was a hard matter to get the mer- rymakers to break up after one of the most eniovaible times.

MAKING THE GOVERNOR TT"

Professor j. W. Mathews an efficiency expert has
been employed by the consolidation commission appointed
by Governor Withycombe last year, to assist it in form
ulatng plan for consolidating number of the boards
and commissions managing the states affairs. He
has arrived in Portland and will presumably take up the
work shortly He Of those who drafted the plan
for the state government for Illinois, There is abund
ance of boards and commissions and the reduction in
number may help some but may well be doubted if the
people of the state want system Of government pro-
vded for them at this me especially that takes the
selection of any of the present elective officers from them
and turns their selection to the governor 1t is
doubtedy true that the people make mistake OCCASION
ally in the selecting of state officers and this bad
enough but suppose they should make mistake in the
choice governor and he should at the time have
the opportunity to multiply that mistake many times in
the selection Of large portion Of the minor officials who
have charge Of the states busness Many of repub
can friends are insisting that should not Swap
horses while crossing stream and this applies with a
least much force to the changing of form of sae

it will do no harm other than to depete the state treas

Prussian Guard Cut Up

With the French Armies in the Field
June IA crack division of the Prus
sian guard, while en- route to the rear
to fill up its losses, was recalled and
re-engaged in the region of Bussiares,
under orders to prevent the Americans
from obtaining a serious success" it
was learned today.
This division took part in the Aisne
offensive, which started May 27, los
ing nearly fifty per cent of its effect
ives. Its companies, which originally
numbered 80 men, then averaged 45
to 80 men. This was its condition when
it was called to relieve a still more
shattered division northwest of Cha
teau-Thierry.
Between June and the Prussian
guard division was so badly mauled in
clashes with the Americans and French
that it was finally sent to the rear,
despite the urgent need of enemy re-
inforcements in that part of the line.
