ARRAY OF ALIENS
QUEUES FOR REGISTRATION COSMOPOLITAN CROWD v fßy Telegraph Press Association) WELLINGTON, Thursday. The corridors of the Central Police Station in Wellington have, during the last week or two, been filled with patiently waiting groups of people anxious to register under the requirements brought about by the war. Men and women from Poland, Palestine, Austria, Armenia, Latvia, and Lebanon have all queued up outside the special office, and the bewildering array even included one applicant who announced h'is home town as Nazareth. So far 1475 certificates have been issued to aliens in the Wellington district. The rush is now over and the work is confined mainly to issuing certificates to aliens in outlying places whV) have registered by post.
The applicants have nearly all been able to speak enough English for the requirements. Some who expected difficulty thoughtfully brought interpreters along with them. Some from European countries had passports, which of themselves supplied practically all the information required. \
