Of POrTXLAHO o -n ale Jr ricllay uronse LAW NOT UNDERSTOOD 20 '"TT" aer 1480tl Large Proportion of Registrants Arc American-Born, Who Have Mar ried Subjects of Germany. Many Protests Are Heard. Between the hours of 6 o'clock yes terday morning and 8 o'clock last night nearly 100 German alien women had appeared at the police station for reg istration. Since the opening of head quarters Monday morning 400 women have registered and it is the belief of the officials in charge that fully as many more will have registered before the closing date. June 26. Captain Harms, who is supervising the work, and his staff of assistants are besieged hourly by persons who appear In behalf of German alien wom en In the hope that some loophole may be found to evade registration. Many of the women who had thought , they would not be required to registea have found the duty an embarrassing one. It has been found that a large pro portion of the registrants are American-born who had married subjects of Germany. ' Many Have Mlmdentudla(. Among some of the alien women born in Germany there seems to be a mis understanding regarding their status when married to a native of any for eign country who has not become nat uralized. It has been their Impression that if they were the wives of Aus trlans, Greeks, Scandinavians or na tives of other countries who have not become American citizens, it would not be necessary for them to register. The regulations provide, however, that they must register. The provision covering this feature is as follows: "A woman, native, citizen, denizen or subject of Germany, who has not be come an American citizen by marriage, remains a German alien, required to register, although she has declared her intention to become a citizen of the United States by taking out first pa pers of naturalization, or has been partly or completely naturalized In any other country than the United States." Husband Is British Subject. One of the most embarrassing situ ations that have arisen since registra tion started occurred yesterday when a woman subject of Germany, who is man led to an Englishman, called to sign her affidavit. "This is the haidest duty I ever have had to perform," she told one of tbq registration offlcla's. "My husband is a British subject and I thought I would not have to register, but my heart is with America. I hope the al lies soon will be victorious." An American-born woman married to a. German learned yesterday that she will have to register, too. Her hus band ca-'led to ascertain ner Btatus and when advised that his wife Is regarued as much as un alien as himself, he &? ciared it an ' outrage." Native American la Allen Enemy. "It will break her heart, but I guess he will have to register as an alien," he remarked as he left to inform his wife. One woman who appeared to register had resided on the Pacific Coast for 55 years, the most of that time in Ore son. She was one and one-half years old when her parents left Germany and arrived in San Francisco. She had lived in the United States so long that she had regarded herself as an Ameri can citizen. She was chagrined when the learned that she was still an alien and had to register as such. TEN COLLISIONS REPORTED Autoists Escape Injuries in Acci dents on Portland Streets. Ten automobile and motorcycle col lisions were reported to the traffic bu reau at the police station yesterday and in each case the driver and occu pants escaped being injured. Edward "Wolf, of 617 Gantenbein avenue, who was operating a motorcycle, collided with a touring car driven by Mrs. W. A. Vinton, of 799 Minnesota avenue, at Williams avenue and Knott street. He was hurled several feet along the pave ment, his motorcycle was wrecked,, but he himself escaped Injuries. A spoke in the rear wheel of the automobile was torn out.
