Marriage Licenses Increased.

War conditions also left their i'm

licenses. many OF the applicants be-
ing soldiers in neiGhboring camps
and war workers. Another signifi-
cant feature was the small number Of
applicants for marriage licenses with

that Washington is a growing COM

These aliens were divided into two
classes; those who were considered
harmless, and those who were cIassed
as being potential spies and agents
OF the enemy governments. The lat
ter were rounded up and sent TO de-
tentiOn camps and the former were
ordered 10 appear at the Marshars
office. where they were listed. and
required to tell where they would
take up their residence. upon being
expelled from Washington. It was
tedious work which occupied the at
tentiOn of the United States Marshal
Maurice Splain and mis- corps OF
deputy marshals for many weeks.
Occasionally reports came TO the
District Attorney that certain aliens
had been detected hiding in this city
and OF others who failed TO report
claiming that they were not sub
jects of the enemy governments and
invoking the protection OF foreign
ENJOYS. Assistant District Attorney
Charles Arth was intrusted with the
investigation Of these cases.
Another branch OF the court which
had its share Of additional war work
was the clerks office under the di-
rection of John r. Young. To his
office fell the duty of preparing nat

who had been drafted into the mill

laws intended to prevent the United

conduct of business before the va
rious courts and their coordinate

New methods and systems had TO
be evolved to carry out the laws in an
