He then sought and received a clerkship in tho United States war department in Washington, D. C, and during three years' residence in the national capital, capi-tal, took a special course In law, at the George Washington university. Later, Mr. LIttlefleld was transferred transfer-red to the office of tho war department depart-ment at San Francisco and remained In that branch of the government service until 1914, when ho obtained a transfer to the United Statea forest service.
