Enemy Aliens
Defy the Law
Ignore Registration Orde,
and Easily Dodge Police
Detection

Enemy aliens in this city are able
to carry on their activities with prac
tcaliy no organized checi:, it was ad-
mltted yesterday by Tede-ai officials
handling the situation. In srite of an
elaborate police registration and regu-
lations and warnings by The Depart
ment of Justice, Germans have been
able to disregard the law, have failed
to give their names and changes of
residence to the police, and have even
penetrated waterfront zones ir consid-
cradle numbers.
thousands of Germans, over the age
OF fourteen, according to official esti-
mates, did not come forward to register
when ordered to do so under Presi-
uentai proclamation moro than & month
ago. The danger from this absolutely
unchecked enemy element is increased
by the fact, according to William Wal
lace, Jr., head Of New York Port Enemy
Alien Bureau, that its approximate size
cannot be gauged by the authorities.
From lists made up on the basis Of
the state census of last year. it was
estimated, prior to the registration,
that about $4,000 Germans would be
compelled to conc forward in compli-
ance with the law At the end of the
given period and two additional periods
OF grace, $4,000 had so regictored.
Thousands Ignored Law
Although the estimate may have been
too large, it was believed by Captain
Off1ey, former head of the bureau of
Investigation of the Department of Jus
tice, that thousands Of Germans had
failed to obey.
Captain Offiey stated that wholesale
arrests would be made of the delin
Quents as soon as they coull be found,
through comparison of various lists
then in the hands of tho Federal Of
fcials, and in the process OF compile
ton.
Although a month has passed since
the end of the registration, no syste-
matized roundup of the enemy alien
delinquents has been attempted. A
number of arrests has been made, but
each case, Mr.. Wallace said. had been
of man brought to the attention Of
the police or Department of Justice by
chance.
Hundreds of German aliens, it has
been learned, have been able to obtain
war zone and pier permits admitting
them to the waterfront and to factories
within the barred area surrounding the
ports shipping.
To Reexamine Passes
These passes, according to Mr.. Wal
lace. have been obtained fraudulently
through Misrepresentation of the ap
plicant's nationality, ostensibly for the
purpose of obtaining employment. Ger
mans have sworn they were friendly
neutrals or Americans, and have been
able to carry out the deception. Only
in obviously suspicious cases have ar
rests been made, but determination Of
all pass holders will be made, and the
Federal officials believe scores will be
held. In this phase. as in others, how
ever, detection does not follow an or
ganzed official move.

WASHINGTON, March 21.-Even
word from London that the drive
launched to-day by the Germans on
the West front is on larger scale
than any undertaken there since the
war began has failed to convince Amer
lean military observers that the lonp
advertised German grand offensive is
at hand. They are waiting for the full
scope or the enemy action against both
brltlsh and French fronts to be made
clear, and still believe that the logic of
the situation points away from Ger

supreme confidence in the power of
those lines to resist the shock charac-
terlzed the express ions of all officials
here.
Some high army officers, heretofore
confident that the German position on
all fronts made defensive attitude i'm
the West almost mandatory, hailed
with eagerness the possibility that
great thrust at Paris or the Channei
ports had been actually set in motion.
they believed only some internal
pressure that would not brook wise
counsel could force the General Staff
to risk such venture. They believed.
too, that German assault in the
West now would bring ultimate triumph
OF the Allied cause closer because of
their confidence that the resisting
power Of the Allied armies is mn.
shakabe.
'lf this is in fact a German drive"
said one general officer, IL will look
upon it as the most hopeful sign in
the war thus far Defeat of the move
ment is certain
"But | cannot believe that it is q
real drive. Every requirement of rea
son would direct the Germans to press
their exploitation of Russia's resources
and Russias power to the limit
while they held the West front locked
against our efforts"
Reports from Holland that peace
offer had been made semi officially to
the Entente by Germany caught imme-
diate attention. There was nothing at
the State Department to confirm this
report, but some observers saw the
possibility that the menace of German
guns had been turned loose to play a
thunderous prelude to such an offer for
the effect upon the French and British
people.
Others saw possible significance in
the fact that the German onslaught
comes quick on the heels of the acaui-
ston of Dutch shipping by the United
States and the Allies. 1t was noted
that the War College statement of this
week had predicted that no German
offensive in the West is to he expected
unless forced by the general strategic
situation. There was speculation as to
whether the incident of the Dutch ships
might not have created motive for
the drive

L coming in Great Britain after the war II
will be the fault Of the statesmen.
To put 1t briefly, YOU cannot go TO the mil
lions of workers and say this is war for
democracy without giving them ''furiousy to
think about industrial democracy. You can
not ask them to share your perls (assumng
that You are not worker yourselD without
leading them TO believe that they ought TO
share your pleasures. You cannot talk about
the brotherhood of the trenches without lis
tening to them talk about the brotherhood Of
the forge and the shop and the craft.
With all the problems of Organization, re-
adjustment and concentration already on
their minds, Americans might well ask to
be spared any account of British domestic
problems But there is a certain driving
power in problems of labor which takes them
overseas, and Americans who are concerned
about the future must realize that II the in

No The significant thing is not that labor

wants something different from all its earlier
demands. something which the most philan-
throplc have not dreamed of giving. The
new orientaton Of labor is in The direction
of democracy, and in practice this means
that what labor wants now Is not a greater
share in the product of industry, but a
greater share in the control of industry.
Control is the keyword to the new agita-
ton. The workers do not want more money

want Is To run the shops in which they

they want to control the whole industry.
