How to Get All of Them

No two estimates agree as to the num-
Der Of Germans in this city who lodged
registration. The state military census of
unnaturalized Germans here subject to
registry. Only 39,S64 presented them
selves for Recommendation and finger print
ing. More than $4,000 male Germans
within the prescribed ages applied last
year for passes into the forbidden mill
tary zones established by Presidential
proclamation.
SO there must be great many subjects
Of the Kaiser still unidentified and free
from government surveillance. And they
naturally compose the most dangerous
group Of al-Germans who live under
aliases and are camounaging their activi-
ties by claiming to be Alsatians, Swiss
\ xHollandcrs, Russians or ScandinavianS
There is no way of telling how many of
these spies and plotters there are. And
any single one of them may seize chance
to bomb a transport, set fire to a muni-
tions factory or poison a cantonmcnt
The sort Of registration conducted by
Jnc department. OF JuSClcc can DrOnuCe
only halfway results. Some of the goats
are segregated and ticketed. But how
many others still mingle with the sheep!
You can't seine out all the fish in the
muddy waters Of a pond. You can get
them all only by draining the pond. The
Department of Justice is using a seine
with big meshcs. It's work is, therefore
to large extent futile
How are all the Germans in this coun-
try to be got at and put under police sur
veillance? There is but one sure wav and
that is to register every male over four
tcen-and every female also. When every
citizen has to take out a police card then
every enemy alien now under cover vii
be disclosed. 1t is no great hardship te
register Last year both men and womer
up to fifty years registered under tbs
state military census of New York. 1t is
a small tribute to patriotism and small
price to pay for additional security.
Let us. therefore, have national regis
tration through the police organization.

For Swift and Severe Action

o the Editor Of The Tribune
Sir: ! have just finished reading Monday S
issue of your paper, which published the
news of Ncaring's reasonable pamphlet AS
you know, the patience OF every red blooded
American is at tie breaking point How
much longer is this pro German propaganda
to be winked at" 1t has paralyzed Russia.
1t caused the disgraceful retreat Of Cadorna $
army last November 1t induced Rumania to
surrender. 1t created serious discomfort in
England and France. 1t holds a blood stained
club over Russia and the weaker states. Its
campaign OF destruction and sabotage has
been pushed with tenfold force in our own
land since the declaration of war
What is being done to run down these
skulkns ours and smitc them with the pun
'shment they SO richly deserve? What dis
pcsal has been made Of the naturalized
American citizen who was caught on the
Nleuw Amsterdam With reasonable sheets in
his possession? VIII he be entertained at an
lhtefnmont camp for a few months and then
gwen his liberty? Is Nearing also TO escape
justice? In Gods name, what is the matter
with the Attorney General? Why not force
INN to resign and make room for man?
Moral adamart is what this nation needs
now. Why are these paid agents of the
kalser allowed to continue their perniciou;
work? Why should Morris Fillquit be free
to scatter sedtion broadcast? Why should
the contemplated convention of the reds he
permitted?
Inc American people arc willing to make
any reasonable sacrifice; they are giving
their money, their sons and daughters to de-
fend the freedom of our country and Of the
world They are standing behind the admin
lstratlon to the utmost of their strength.
Haven't they, therefore, right to expect the
government to reassure them by more dras-
TIC measures in dealing with the malign and
subtle foc-by rounding up these cxecrable
scoundrels and dosing them with American
Ioad' If we would win this war the punish
mcnt OF the guilty must be swift and severe
only III this way will Americans be held to-
gcthcr and stimulated to do their best.
