BY the Associated Press
ELKTON, Md, July 3.-A total of
203 members of the armed forces
were granted marriage licenses at
this Gretna Green during June, ap-
parently taking advantage of an en-
actment of the last Legislature which

out waiting 48 hours.
Soldiers, sailors and marines from
81 States, most of whom are now
stationed at the Aberdeen Proving
Ground, Edgewood Arsenal and the
Bainbridge Naval Training Station,
obtained licenses.
The new law, which took effect
June /, allows immediate issuance of
marriage license when one of the
parties is a. member of the armed
forces.
Previously. the 48-hour waiting
period between application for and
issuance of the license could be
waived only with approval of the
county Circuit Court.
While Elkton had bumper crop
of service weddings, the total num-
ber of licenses issued during June
showed sharp drop from the figure
for the same period last year. Total
permits issued in June were 612,
a decrease of 537 from the 1,149
issued in June, 1912.
