REGISTRATION OF
ALIEN ENEMIES
Fear Expressed That Through
Ignorance Some Are Neglect
ing Their Duty.

As only two enemy aliens resident IN
rural New Castle county have registered
at the Wilmington postofhce, under the
enemy alien registration order OF the
government, it is believed that some who
are liable have neglected the matter,
nrolyably through ignorance.
Under the law Postmaster English, who
Is the chief registration officer for the
State, is also made the registration
officer for all alien enemies living in rural
mail routes served from the Wilmington
postoffice, and, as over 400 families arc
served on these routes while only two
aliens thereon have registered, Il Is bellev-
ed there are many liable who have not
complied with the order.
With the idea of having All liable
comply, 50 rs to avoid trouble for them
selves for not doing so. Mr. English to-day
had a canvass made of the rural routes to
ascertain how many alien enemies there
are in the territory and to suggest 10
those who have failed to register that they
do so TODAY or tomorrow.
In the city Detective Sergeant Green
who is in charge OF the registration bureau
for Wilmington, said he believed there
would be a full registration IN the city
So far the total Is about loo.

NEW MARRIAGE LAW
FOR MARYLAND
Notifications Which May Rob
State of It's Title as
Gretna Green.

Bills are TO be introduced i'll the Mary
land Legislature this week TO modify
the marriage and divorce laws OF the State.
The changes proposed in the marriage
law provide, first, for an increase IN tho
age of tho parties and for changes In the
method of procuring licenses. A child OF
seven may now be married with a parents
consent. This, however, is an inchoate
marriage. 1t may be voided by The par
ties separating at tho age of consent
or make it binding by their living to-
gether While a giil of IL and boy OF
IA must have the consent of parents,
their marriage would be valid without
this if they manage to secure license
and are then united by n minister.
The proposed change increases the age
so that no female under the aye oi II
or male under the age Of Is may he mar
ried. If the girl be IA or over, but under
l6, she must receive the consent OF her
pa rents and also that of the court. II
she bc between the age of l6 and Is she
must receive the consent OF her parents
or guardian. A girl must be ~ and n
boy II before they can be married with
out the consent of their parents.
Another important change rs pro-
vision making IT mondatory Tor MN
before he can perform a ceremony. The
records show that by reason Of failure
to return the marriage license IT has been
impossible to prove marriages by the
records
To prevent parties from imposing on
the courts il is purposed to make the
contracting parties apply for licenses In
person and not through a third party.
The divorce law Is also to be amended
so as not to hamper the courts. In
stead of as now, when an examiner and
master collect testimony and make
recommendations To the court where,
under the present law all eases may he
tried publicly at the request of either
party, it is proposed TO have the cases
disposed Of by n master IN channcery
who shall take testimony, but the jude OF 2
court must sign the decree. 1t IS claimed
that much of the time of the court Is
taken up hearing divorce eases TO the
exclusion of more important ones that
await hearings.
Three additional grounds for divorce
are set forth They aresthe convection
Of either party for a crime and actua
imprisonmcnt for five wears. Make al
partial divorces absolute at the end Of
three wears hv rcsummoning the defend
ant and proving there is no hope of re-
Cancellation. where a husband wllfullN
and wantoniv fails 10 support wife
for one wear and where either part J
becomes addicted tn the use of liquor
drugs. narcotics. &c, for the period o
one wear.
