REGISTRATION IN
ALASKA TO BE
QUITE A TASK
JUNEAU, Thursday, June 7.—(By
mail.)—Governor Strong and all
United States attorneys and marshals
have received instructions from Wash
ington to cause the arrest and prose
cution of any person failing to reg
ister on the day which will be speci
fied, or the arrest of any one utter
ing anything detrimental to the gov
ernment or any of its officers.
This morning circular letters were
mailed from the office of Governor
Strong to all United States marshals,
and the U. S. commissioners calling
their attention to the provisions of
the law and the proclamation of the
president. The officials were instruct
ed to start preparing to handle the
work of registration of all persons
in the outlying sections and also to
prepare to arrest all those who evade |
or attempt to evade the provisions of
the registration act.
At the governor’s office it was stat
ed that no day has been set as yet.
It is not known whether the date will
be set by the governor from Washing
ton, or will be held in abeyance until
his return. On account of the vast
size of the territory, nearly one-fifth
the size of the United States, and the
infrequency of the mail service to i
some of the outlying sections, espe
cially those the interior and north of
Nome, it is hard to set any definite
date for the entire territory.
It was suggested today that two
days be set, one within the next few j
weeks for the First and Third judi
cial divisions, and other for the Sec
ond and Fourth divisions. It was also
suggested that the blanks and neces
sary forms be supplied to the may
ors of all incorporated towns and the
registration be handled by them, while
in the outlying sections the registra
tions be handled through the clerks
of the court and the deputy marshals.

necessary, the postmasters.

FIFTH PALM OF VICTORY AWARDED
TO FOREIGN LEGION FOR TAKING
1,100 PRISONERS IN CHAMPAGNE
GRAND HEADQUARTERS OF
FRENCH ARMIES IN FRANCE,
May 23w—“A marvelous regiment, an
imated by hatred of the enemy and the
highest spirit of sacrifice.”
These words are used in the official
army order in conferring the fifth
palm on the flag of the famous for
eign legion for gallantry in the recent
fighting in Champagne. The regi
ment is unique in the number of
times mentioned and decorated.
The staff correspondent of the As
sociated Press visited the legionaries
in their rest camp, where they are re
cuperating and filling their ranks, and
heard personal narratives from offi
cers and men whose conduct is so
highly praise.d No matter what the
men’s nationality—and citizens of no 1
fewer than fifty-one nations are rep
resented among the legionaries—after
joining they immediately become im
bued with the regiment’s glorious tra-,
ditions. They always have been where
the fighting was hottest.
One Regiment Remains
When the war started six battalions
forming two regiments, were sent to
the front; now only three battalions
remain, fused into one regiment.
Among them are still Americans from
various states of the Union as well as
from all the republics of Central and
South America. There are men from
every British colony, from all the
countries in Europe, Asia and Africa,
and also a number of Frenchmen who
have been attracted to the fegion on
account of its adventurous career.
Many Russians, Belgians, Italians,
British and Rumanians recently have
been transferred to their own armies,
reducing the legion’s strength, but
Spaniards, Swiss and South Americans
are joining.
Post of Honor
The legion’s task, for the successful
achievement of which it was honored
today, was the most difficult in the
recently French offensive. Its front
stretched from Auberive, the capture
of which was included in the objective
aimed at. For five days and nights
the legionaries fought continously
ami virtually without sleep. They ac
complished the task set them, but at
the cost of the life of their colonel—
and many other gaps in their ranks.
At the end their commander was
Maj.-.
Auberive was entered and carried by
a lieutenant with a noncommissioned
officer and ten men with unbelievable
daring, attacked a machine gun em
placement and killed twelve Ger
man gunners.
Outflanked Position
The advance of the battalion oper
ating to the west of Auberive was de
layed for a time by the opposition of
an unknown series of German en
trenchments, formidably arranged in
what is known as the gulf. It was im
possible to attack frontally across the
half mile of open ground, but the le
gionaries succeeded in outflanking the
position and made their way, fighting
for every foot, along a communication
trench until they had carried the whole
position. They threw 50,000 of their
own hand grenades in the course of
the five days, besides many thousands I
I
of German grenades they discovered in
the dumps on the enemy territory.
Slept Where They Stood
When the fighting was over many
of the exhausted legionaries slept as
they stood.
The brigadier general told the corre
spondent that so many of the legion
aries were entitled to decorations that
he was unable to give to all. Several
Americans, however, obtained the war
cross. Sergeant Edgar Bouligny, of
New Orleans, who was wounded, al
ready has been awarded the war
cross for bravery. He has served
since the beginning of the war.
The division’s captures for the five
days comprised 1,100 German prison
ers, twenty-two cannon, fifty-eight
trench mortars and forty-seven ma
chine guns.
