WILSON'S MESSAGE IS
ADMIRABLE, DECLARES
ARGENTINE NEWSPAPER

Buenos Aires, Jan. 9.-The Argen-
tine papers comment at length on
President Wilson's address before con-
gress. LaEpoca says:
at is admirable, clear and con-
vincing, breathing sincerity, justice
and fraternity toward humanity, even
toward enemies. 1t is only necessary
to compare this with that Of Count
Czernin and the German proposals to
see on which side are truth, loyalty
and justice.'
La Nacoin says that President Will
sons utterances indicate long dura-
ton Of the war, as he proposes peace
principles which Germany will not ac-
cept as long as she can fight.
The Argentine newspapers are al
most unanimous in praising. the mes
sage, as removing doubts as to the
cause of the war and because it puts
the situation plainly up to the Ger
many.

GERMAN WOMEN MAY BE
CALLED ALIEN ENEMIES

Washington, Jan. 9.-Enemy alien
restrictions probably will be ex-
tended soon to German women in the
United States. Legislation to this
end is being drafted, and congressicn
al leaders have assured the depart
nent Of justice that it will be enact
ed promptly. If this is done before
the week Of February 4, when ma
wide registration Of unnatural
ICED Germans is to be made under ST.
pervision of the department OF JUS
tice, women probably will be included
IN the census.
Regulations Sent
Regulations to govern the registra-
ton were sent today to police officials
of cities, the postmasters of small
towns, to whom the active admins
tration of the registration has been
entrusted. The rules differ from those
already made public only in the fact
that federal court districts, not coun-
ty or local court districts, are TO be
considered units for gathering census
returns from non-urban sections in
which postmasters will take the regis
trations.
Few Germans Released.
Of the hundreds of Germans who
have been interned since the United
States entered the war, only six have
! been paroled permanently and ten
given freedom for time, it was dis
closed today by John Lord O'Blicr.
special assistant to Attorney General
Gregory, in charge Of the war Prob
lens. Che announcement was made
in REPUTATION of widespread reports
chat the government had released
hundreds CT dangerous alien enemies.
IN the case of men paroled temper
arily it is understood the action was
taken so that they might aid govern
ment agents in ferriting out plots or
propaganda against the United States
war interests.
:" So far as known, no person found
to be dangerous enemy alien once
arrested has ever been permanently
released" said Nh. O'Vlien.
