d. C.. Supreme Court
ReLaxeS After Strain
OfWar'S Extra Burden

Liberty and Victory bonds, and large
sums from this source helped to
achieve the desired results.
Jury Lists Scanned.
The jury lists had to be closely
scrutinized and every name in the
jury box with a German tinge was
investigated. Citizens of German
origin who could not speak or prop
erly understand English were reject
ed for jury service and admon!shed To
study the language OF this country
and read English newspapers instead
or those printed in the enemy lam
guages.
Another interesting war feature
in the business Of the court was the
large number desiring TO have their
names changed. The majority OF
these claimed that their names had a
Teutonic or German sound and that it
embarrassed them TO be looked upon
as being associated with the cause of
the enemy. An amusing feature of
this serious business was that a num-
Der of those who asked to have their
ma mes changed were not of Teutonic
or German origin, but OF Slav, Czech,
Jewish. and other non-German origin.
Their Manassas a rule. were unpFo-
nounceable and il seemed they took
this opportunity TO have them AmeHi-
csnized.
