marry on the eve Of their departure

for Berlin Of 5,793. as against 1909 for
the same month of last year. In the
mobilization week, August rs, 3,941
marriage contracts were made. of
which the largest number was due to
the outbreak of the war.
1t Is believed here that the number
Of marriages in Berlin due to the war
is not far below $500. Some Of them
had been planned for the autumn and
winter seasons. and it is expected that
months will fall below normal This
has already been demonstrated by the
records for September, in which month
$50 marriages took place, as against
,832 in September. 1913. For 1914, up
to and including September. the number
of marriages is 1s,436 as against 14,761
