The State Department is collecting
information as to the means employed by the
foreign agents of the Mormon propaganda.
Some startling information mas been receIveu,

report from United States Consul in Switzer-
land gives the following information:
There are twenty eight leaders, ten priests,
and thirty-four teachers of the Mormon Church
in Switzerland. Their chief function is that Of
missionaries The communicates OF the Nor
mon Church number 6l0. A great many Nor
mon converts are shipped through these instru-
montalities to the United States. This Mormon
propaganda is being prosecuted with much
vigor in the northern parts Of Switzerland, and
all the converts thus far have been members of
the Protestant denominations There are no
Catholics among them. Great attention is be-
ing paid by these missionaries to women, and
even to young girls. The younger girls are edu-
Gated, and when grown are sent to the United
States. The missionaries seem to be well
supplied with money, and have organized many
benevolent societies, especially for the relief OF
women.
