Chief of Police Bloom has received instructions and completed plans for the registration of all German alien women in this city and vicinity dur ing the period from June 17th to the 26th. He believes that there will be rather a large number of such wo- men who will be compelled to regis ter.

 United States marshals, poStmas, ters and police chiefs in every city oi the United States will register be- tween June Y and 26, every German alien woman in the United States, recording hngcrprints and photo graphs, and providing the registrant thereafter with an identification card which must be carried on the holder's person for the duration of the war.
 The work will be carried out under regulations issued by Attorney Gen. cral Gregory, and women who do not comply may be informed, imprisoned or deported.
 American women who have mar ricd German aliens will also be re- quired to register under the rcgula- tions unless they have taken steps to get a return Of their original citi- zenship status.
