5,000 ALIENS REGISTER HERE

Approximately 5,000 aliens of Japan, Germany and Italy had applied for certificates of identification by the deadline at 9 o'clock last night.

"This is about 1,600 under the number of aliens from the three countries who were registered a year ago. Postal officials pointed out that this was due partly to the fact that some Italians and Germans have since become citizens.

Aliens from any of the three countries found not to have the registration certificates required are subject to internment for the duration of the war.
