"United States of America Department of Justice

Registration Card of Alien Female

(Under Proclamation of the President, dated April 19, 1918.)

The Registration Card Must Be Carried on the Person

(Penalty)

Anyone required to register shall not, after the date fixed for her registration and the issuance to her of a registration card, be found within the limits of the United States, its territories or possessions, without having her registration card on her person, under liability, among other penalties, to arrest and detention for the period of the war."

Quotation Context

A proclamation by President Woodrow Wilson on April 19, 1918 followed an Act of Congress of three days earlier to extend existing law to cover women aged 14 and over as well as men. The law applied to 'all natives, citizens, denizens, or subjects of Germany or Austria Hungary of the age of fourteen years and upwards, who shall be within the United States and not actually naturalized.'
