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

393 Knott street, also had a collision.
