MANY GERMAN Names
CHANGED Since WAR
District Residents Besiege Court to
Anglieize Their Handles"

Scenting peril TO their business inter-
ests from having Teutonic names several
persons of German birth or ancestry
have applied to the clerk of the Supreme
Court Of the District OF Columbia for
permission to change their names, since
war was declared.
As feeling against Germany grows In
intensity with actual hostilities, attaches
of the clerks ONCE are of the opinion,
that an increased number OF Germans,
many Of them American citizens of un-
doubted loyalty to this country. but feel
ing handicapped by German names, will
seek to Anglicize their names.
F. f. Cunningham, in charge Of this
register, declared last night that most of
the Germans who have applied have been
citizens OF this country for many years.
Some German names are very easily
AngltciZed. An instance OF this nature
cited by Mr.. Cunningham was that of a
Mr.. Schwartz who recently requested per
mission to have his name changed to
Black. which is a literal translation of
the word from German into English.
Schmidt Is another that will probably
cause a considerable increase in the
ranks of the Smiths.
