MANY GERMAN
ALIENS ARE IN BAD
WASHINGTON: Thousands of un
naturalized Germans failed to enroll
themselves with police or postmasters
during the registration period which
closed Wednesday and are subject to
Internment, is shown by preliminary
report on the registration reaching
the department of justice.
United States marshals and attor
neys now are engaged in a careful
study of the registration rolls and
within a week will undertake action i
against those who did not register.
Most failures were due to misun
derstanding of the requirements, it is
bqlieved, and it is probable that these
men will be permitted to register later
and not be interned. The minority
who refuse to register, however. Is
expected to furnish many recruits for
internment camps.
Department of justice officials to
day made it plain that a number of
German women in the United States
would be interned if congress enacts
the pending bill to include women in
the enemy alien classification.

THE REAL SAVING
AND THE FALSE
Merely to hoard money at a time like this is no bet
ter than hoarding food or clothing or fuel. Sensible ex
penditures on necessary things must go on, if the coun
try’s business is to go on, if the country’s war is to end
in victory.
But it is real saving to cut down on needless ex
penditures and lend what you save to your government.
That is the saving of a true patriot who can look beyond
immediate convenience to the lasting benefits that peace
will bring.
For such saving your government has devised the
WAR SAVINGS STAMPS. Your government asks
you to invest in them to the fullest extent of your ability,
guaranteeing with all the resources of this nation, that in
a few years your money will be returned to you with in
terest.
This is your opportunity to back up YOUR beliefs
in a tangible manner. Make the most of it.
BUY THRIFT STAMPS for 25 cents and WAR
SAVINGS STAMPS for $4.14 at your Post Office or at
