In the State of Maryland the total
registration of aliens mounted to
35,522 at the close of Christmas Eve.
Of this number 32,374 registered in
the City of Baltimore.
All aliens registering at this time

all will face the possibility of prosecu-
ton for their laxity except those who
have yet to reach the age of ID wears.
In Garrett county it was estimated
that there were about 300 aliens in
the county, but the registration show
that either the figures were largely
exaggerated or a great majority of
them failed to register.

has upheld only six of these, it was
stated.
The letter from headquarters stated
that a cooperative program had been
developed to provide manpower for
soil conservation and reforestation,
and that conscientious DIRECTORS

ties and put into camps for this work.

Grave Danger Ahead

Grave Danger Ahead
Frankly and definitely there
is danger ahead-danger against
which we must prepare" the chief
executive continued.
"But we we'll know that we can
not escape danger, or the fear of
it, by crawling into bed and pull
in the covers over our heads"
Asserting that some European
nations which had non-interven-
ton pacts with Germany had been
ATTACKED, over-run and thrown
into the modern form of slavery"
the president added that "the fate
of these nations tells us what it
means TO live at the point of a
Nazi gun.
'The Nazis have justified these
actions by various pious frauds.
One of these frauds is the claim
that they are occupying nation
for the purpose of 'restoring. Or
der Another is tnat they are oc-
cupying or controlling a nation
on the excuse that they are pro

"Any South American country,

other republics of this hemis-
phere."

Washington, Aug. i6 Up
The administration is revising its
new lend-lease program OF aid
for nations resisting the Axis to
include comprehensive aid to Rus
STA, it was believed today.
Officials made what they said
were pure guesses" that Con-
gress would be asked to approp-
rate $10,000,000,000 or more TO
aid Britain. Russia, and China
The sum originally contemplated
was $6,000,000,000. Estimates
for the revised program will be
submitted to President. Roosevelt
when he returns TO Washington
tomorrow.
Greatly accelerated American
and British aid to Russia was
fore-shadowed in a letter sent
Premier Josef Stain by President
Roosevelt and Prime Minister
Winston Churchill suggesting that
they send high officials to Mos
COW for conferences with him and
other high Russian officials.
There was no official here will
ing to interpret an ominous sent
ence in the letter. That sentence
was; THE war goes on upon many
fronts and before it is over there
may be further fighting fronts
that will be developed" One fur

American coast.
Great Britain and the United
States, the letter made plain, are
collaborating to supplement the
aid they have already sent to the
Soviet Union, with a long range
program designed to bring a
complete victory" over Germany.
The Unprecedented letter to the
