Registration of Alien Enemies Alien enemies within Wayne county must register at police headquarters on February 4 and following days. Their , registration is demanded by the Federal government, failure to do so making the negligent one liable to a severe penalty. ' Under alien enemies are included all Germans who have not obtained their final papers. Persons holding first papers must register.

The registration of the alien enemies residing in the United States provokes discussion of

the spy menace within our borders. William J. Flynn, who recently resigned as chief of the United States Secret Service, estimates that there are at least 250,000 men and women in this country working to defeat the United States and her associates in the war. In this number he includes not only the agents who are in the pay of the German organization, but also commercial travelers, agitators outside the pale of organized labor which has abundantly

proved its loyalty, pro-German writers and editors, of German newspapers and magazines, pacifists and publicists who are demanding that we conclude a peace such as Berlin wants and who rail against our military preparations for the purpose of creating unrest and dissatisfaction at home. We re-produce the classifications which Flynn makes of the persons working for the Teutonic cause so that our readers may co-operate in eradicating the pest : First The active spy, the persons in the pay and acting under orders from the German espionage system. These obtain information regarding American army and navy movements. They direct and in some cases carry out plots which call' for the destruction by fire or explosion of munition plants, ships, railway bridges, and other structures of vital importance in time of war. They also direct "publicity" work. Second The paid propagandists, who spread Germancolored Information from end to end of the country, exaggerate the strength of the German army and paint gloomy pictures of the fate that awaits American troops. Ono of the most active of these propagandists was arrested a few weeks ago and interned on Ellis Island. Third The persons who are not paid, but who talk or write for Germany all the time rumor spreaders, who circulate reports of disasters to American naval vessels and transports, of the coming to American waters of German submarines and airships, and reports tending to discredit the sincerity of the Government in the war. fourth High class propagandists, among them bankers, lawyers, ministers, and professional pacifists, who plead the cause of the "good German people," and who never let an opportunity pass to urge consideration of a German brand of peace. Fifth Unscrupulous labor organizations not affiliated with the American Federation of Labor, of which the I. XV. XV. is the best known.' This class also Includes conspirators against the selective draft law, anarchists who are shouting for a Bolshevist Government in the United States, and certain kinds. of Socialists who, in some instances, openly favor the German cause. Sixth Thousands of American citizens who, In most Instances without realizing it. permit themselves to be duped into aiding the German propaganda., Seventh Publications printed in the German and Hungarian languages, already barred from the privileges of the mails, but still circulating and hampering the enforcement of the war laws. Eighth Publications printed in English, from which the mail privilege was withdrawn, but some of which are still published, with veiled pro-German views in every Issue. ' Ninth So-called peace organizations which, under the guise of pacificism, are agitating from end to end of the United States in favor of a peace such as the German government is said to he willing to negotiate. These are the people who want Alsace-Lorraine to remain under German domination, who want the German colonies returned, and who would deprive Belgium, France, and Serbia of indemnity for wrongs committed by the Germans. The Germans exercise the same high degree of efficiency in their spy system that characterized their military and industrial organizations, the result being that long before war was declared Berlin had an indexed knowledge of our affairs that surpassed any data our own bankers,

industrial " leaders and government officials possessed. German spies knew our financial strength, the output of every factory working on munitions, the adaptabality of ever plant for conversion into a munition works, and the man power of the nation. They knew the output of our mines, forests and farms. They knew the political situation in every city. They knew their friends and enemies.

"When the war came they were ready," says Flynn. "They know what to do to stimulate unrest in every place. They know to whom to go and how to proceed to cause internal dissension. They are the worst kind of spies. . "AH this deviltry was planned, not after the war started, but when the United States was at peace with Germany. So it was that when Congress declared war Germany had a better index of our condition than even our best posted and most efficient public men and business men had, and German spies have, in thousands of instances, been able, to bring, unknowingly, it is true, many loyal Americans into their service. Other socalled Americans have aided them knowingly, and not all of these creatures are German-Americans either." The registration of alien enemies will help check the free movement and operations of the spies. The arrest of Metzdorff indicates how numerous are the men wishing the United States defeat.

Tag Your Shovel Day Near at Hand A "Tag Day" usually means an outlay of

money. The tag costs you something. You wear

it to show that you have contributed your share toward some worthy enterprise.

"Tage-Your-Shovel-Day" signifies a movement that costs you nothing and puts money in your pocket. It wiU mean that you have promised to save fuel and have obligated yourself to help Uncle Sam win the war. More than twenty million school children in the United States will visit the coal consumers to attach tags to the coal shovel. The value of the movement can be ascertained by multiplication. If one persons save a shovelful of coal a day, the country will gain nothing by his effort. But if millions of coal users save a shovelful the economy will run up into thousands of tons of coal. The government is asking all of us to tag our shovels. It is a patriotic enterprise, worthy of our co-operation and assistance.

Army and Navy Scriptures Immediately on the entrance of the United States into the world war,' the American Bible Society prepared special editions of the Bible, the New Testament, the Book of Proverbs, the Book of Psalms, and the Gospel according to St. John, for the especial need of the soldiers and sailors. These were bound in khaki or khaki-colored cloth, or a blue cloth where that color was preferred for the Navy. These volumes all had in them a page for the name, address and service, and another page for memoranda. Between May first and December thirty-f irst, 1917, the Society has sent out, in addition toall its ordinary and regular work, 1,232,463 copies of these special Army and Navy editions. Funds to care for the expenses connected with this distribution are now being solicited. The Secretaries. . .

The World War and the Negro From the Southern Workman. THE Negro soldier and the whole Negro race behind him have a wonderful opportunity to serve both their country and their race in this world war. In the absence of any one outstanding leader, the intelligent younger men of every element of the race nave a chance through the press and their various organizations, to mold and maintain a uniform sentiment in the race that will give constant support and encouragement to the Government and to our Negro soldiers. The Negro soldiers of today carry tremendous responsibilities. Just now they can do more for us, perhaps, than anyone else among us. As one editor says, "If they prove themselves the equals of the white race in point of discipline, selfrestraint, and courage, they will do a lot toward diminishing race prejudice." jcAnotber white editor significantly adds, "Not alone in the army itself is this prejudice likely to raise its ugly head. To eradicate this feeling Is going to be the duty of the Negro soldier, both for the pride of his uniform and the future of his race. He will have to stand ready and hold his ranks firm under circumstances harder to endure than the enemy's fire." He will then need all the help that' an intelligently interested, united race can give.

'Doctor I moani 'I'm suffering the torments of hell WHat! Already!' was bis unfeeling retort!" The late Joseph H. Choate said at a luncheon In New York. "When the Germans talk about protecting little nations, freeing the seas nnr championing International law it sounds so ridiculous that It reminds me of the tramp. 'Lady,' said a tramp to a farmer's wife, 'could yon oblige me with the loan of a cake of soapT " 'Soap 7" she said. 'Do you mean to ten me yon desire soap V "Yes'm said the tramp, 'Me partner's got the hiccoughs, and I want to scare aim." All patriotic Americans ought to share President Wilson's belief that 13 is the lucky number of - the United States, for, he say, the Union originally consisted of 13 states, the Declaration of Independence was signed by 13 men, and there were 13 stars In the original flag under which the colonists fought their successful revolt. A soldier in a Scottish regiment tells about a German soldier who threw a jam tin Into the British trenches one day. On examining it they found the following message: "Dear Jocks: I have a wife In Falkirk. What would happen to me if I came over tonight?" The reply went promptly: "There would be another widow In Falkirk tonight!"

A LITTLE SLICE O' LIFE A certain old friend of mine named John Boer Passed through an American port the other day On his way to France, and I had never Seen him look so well nor so happy. He had on a captain's uniform And he stood as erect as a telegraph pole, And I remembered John back in the old town When he was secretary to the mayor And wore a derby bat, and he never . looked Half so good then as he did when I went down toward the wharf with him to bid him good bye. He was the first friend I had seen start for the front' and I felt sort of funny around the eyes, And my 'Adam's apple kept jumping 1 up and dewn, And I hung on to John's hand for a long time, And I said: "John, if any guy in this world Can pound hell out of the kaiser, you ' can, And I'm proud of you." Then I began to leak like a darnfool Movie heroine, but I wasn't ashamed John was a. bit misty in the eyes and Husky in the throat as he held my Hand and looked off toward the big Boat and said: "Well, I'm going to Give him the damndest rassle you Ever saw, and I'll fight while there is A breath left in my. body. Well, so long." And he strode quickly away as though He was going to do it all by himself And was in a hurry to get started. If they are all like John there'll Be a little bunch of crepe in Potsdam Before very long. And I guess they all are.

Undigested food delayed in the stomach decays, or rather, ferments the same as food left in the open air, says a noted authority. He also . tells us tbat indigestion is caused by Hyperacidity, meaning, there is an excess of hydrochloric . acid in the . stomach which prevents complete digestion and starts food fermentation. Thus everything eaten sours in the stomach much like garbage sours in a can, forming acrid Iluids and gases which Inflate the stomach like a toy balloon. Then we feel a heavy, lumpy misery in the chest, we belch up gas, we eructate sour food or have heartburn, flutulence, water-brash or nausea. He tells us to lay aside all digestive aids and instead, get from any pharmacy four ounces of Jad Salts and take a tablespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast and drink while it is effervescing and furthermore, to continue this for a week. While relief follows the first . dose, it Is important to neutralize the acidity, remove the gas-making mass, start the liver, stimulate the kidneys and thus promote a free flow of pure digestive juices. - Jads Salts is inexpensive and is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia and, so-' dium phosphate.

Fatigue Nearly Overcomes Woman

"Bringing up several children in th? right way and cares of home brought me to the verge of nervous prostxa tion," says a well known woman. "Fearing that I might become: ill and have to give up my housework and the care of my little ones, created a nightmare that was ever before me. I happened to mention my affliction to one of my neighbors and she advised me to procure some Phosphated Iron. A day of two later when I was feeling unusually miserable I sent my daughter to the drug store for a brx of the capsules and after ten days' treatment I felt like a different person altogether. I sleep well at night, something 1 hadn't done in month3 before; ray appetite is good and in fact what formerly seemed like mountains of work in my home is now more like play.
