EVIL IN DIVORCES CHILDREN
Missouri Attorney Would Regulate
MRrTiage 10 Avert Crime.

jefferson City. Mo. Nov. 30-That every
person intending marriage should be re-
CURED to file a declaration OF intention
TO that effect some months before mar
riage. Is the conclusion Of Thomas Speed
Mosby. pardon attorney OF Missouri. az
ter an exhaustive study of the problem of
divorce In its relation to crime
"All criminOlogists know the intimate
relationship of divorce and criminality."
says Mr. Mosby. Fifty per cent Of the
children in reform schools are the chill
dren Of divorced parents. or children of
uncertain parentage. Fully 70 per cent. of
juvenile criminals have had bad home en-
vironment. and a very large proportion
of adult criminals may trace their down
fall TO the ruined home"
But the Missouri pardon attorney does
not think that the problem will be def
nitely solved by greater stringency in the
divorce laws.
so long as We cannot guarantee infalh-
biity in matrimonial selection Mr.. Mos
by concludes. the State must recognize
divorce. II may minimize. but not pro-
hibit. However. the root Of the evil lies.
not in separation. but in the causes which
induce separation. The remedy. there
fore. should be prophylactic rather than
curative. II Is better to prevent matri-
mOnial misfits where possible. than TO
seek to escape the inevitable distinction
of mismated couples.

Then she and the King brought with

KAISER is CUPID'S DIPLOMAT
Sent Present to Princess Louise by
Roundabout Route.
Wanted Representative at RoynI

quences.

London. Nov. 90.-The reason Of the
recent visit of Prince Won Radolin. the
German ambassador at Paris, to the Duke
de Rohan. royalist deputy from Moriban.
has just leaked out.
When the German Emperor heard OF the
betrothal of Princess Louise of Orleans
to the Infante Charles of Bourbon. his
first impulse was to be officially repre-
sented at the wedding and TO send a pres
ent- But, on reflection, he decided that
this might give a bad impression in
France. So he abandoned the idea
The Kaiser was, however, represented
unofflciaily. and, in order that the Duke
Of Orleans might not feel sighted. he in
structed Prince Won RadOlin TO go and ex-
plain the matter to the Duke de Rohan.
The wedding present, instead of being
taken by the Kaiser's representative, was
dispatched in an ordinary car TO Wood
Norton. When, however. the Duke of Or
leans received II. he was in turn divided
between gratitude for the delicate atten-
tion and fear lest il would provoke COM
ment in France; and in order 10 settle the
difficulty he decided that the list OF the
wedding presents should not be communi.
