Registration of Alien Enemies

Persons required to register

they are giving proof of their peace

Each registrant is required to fur.
nish four unmounted photographs
of himself. not larger than 8 by 8
inches in size, on thin paper, with
light background. All four photo
graphs should be signed by the
registrant across the ace of the
photographs, so as not to obscure
the features, the applicant is able
to write.
Three blank forms of registration
affidavit must be completely filled
out by the registrant or his repre-
sentative with the exception of the
blanks indicated to be filled out by
the registration officer and the
description of the reeistrant and the
placing of finger prints on the

As We See II.

Conservation" is the SLOGAN of
the American people, and it is a
good slogan. But it should apply
to the government as we'll as to the
citizens. Although doubtless our
officials at Washington are doing
their utmost in this direction, yet
their is, in the rank and file of
government employees. large room
for improvement.
Some months ago. when the food
conservation campaign opened.
there was appointed in a certain
state a publicity agent who proudly
announced that he had left his own
business in the bands of employees
while he served his country without
pay. His first act was to dispatch
telegrams to every newspaper in the
state, calling attention to the
necessity of cooperating with the
government, and urging the support
of the paper to the fight for food
conservation. No sane man can
doubt that every one of those tele-
grams were paid for by the govern
ment at full rates, when a two.cent
stamp would have taken each one,
and gotten it to its destination in
twenty-four hours.
There is such thing as saving
at the spigot and wasting at the
bung." The government machinery
is the bung, and can not be watch
ed too closely.

Woman a World Power.


over? This is a question that is ex-
ercisipg the minds of great many
people these days. For a genera
ton. now, she has been contendine
equal political rights, and Of late
years she has been coming into her
own in this particular. For a num-
ber Of years, too, she has been
gradually invading the ranks of
business. though not to any alarm
O extent. But with the calling of
the millions of men to the army
the call has at last come to woman
to demonstrate that she is, as men,
bers of her sex have long contend
ed, capable of shouldering the busi-
ness load and bearing it man
fully"
1t is no uncommon sight now to
see women doing what has always
been considered mems work" Not
such as clerking, bookkeeping and
all forms of clerical work. but hard
labor, work that until lately it was
not thought that women were capa-
BILE of performing. We see them on
public works of various kinds, in
factories and work shops; a just
lately great steel magnate was
quoted as saying that he would not
be surprisnd if before long be had
to take on a thousand woman to
take the place u drafted for
the army.
And to the credit of the women
be it said that in the great majori-
ty of instances they are making
good. They are not only develop
ing an ability work and business
that few years ago would have
surprised the world, but they really
appear to enjoy the work.
There may be at the bottom of
their success the long suppressed
desire to show themselves inde-
pendent of man for subsistence.
If this be the case they have reason
to be gratified, as they are fast be-
coming a recognized factor in all
the activities of life.
But. when the present emergen-
cy is past, will woman resume her
old sphere of semi dependent and
home body; or will she hold tenaci-
ously to what she has gained and
refuse to be ousted from her re-
cently-won vantage? In case she
should consent to resume her old
status, the world soon readjust it.
self and human life would continue
to flow on as before But in the
latter event. the entire business
fabric of the world will have to be
remodeled and new adjustments
and alignments made The addi-
tion of few million emale workers
will work great change in labor
conditions-a change that will call
for careful handling.
But perhaps the most v ial ques-
tion in this connection is that of its
influence on the homes of the land.
The United States has always been
pre- eminently a nation of homes.
With US the home life has been en-
throned above every other interest
of life, and nothing was suffered to
interfere with its highest possible
development. Will the home suf-
fer in the years to come? Before
the question of the woman at

vital question will have to be an-
swered, and on its answer hangs
the destiny of a nation,
