the net result of mixed marriages is
a gain for the Catholic population.

CHILDREN OF MIXED
MARRIAGES

From the latest issue (1912.1913) of
the "Kirchliches Handbuch fur das
Kathiolische Deutschland" edited by
Father Krose, S. j., we learn that in
1911 in all Prussia Zone of the coun-

decree) there were 32l,151 marriages,
of which 94,669 were between Catho-
lies and 30,706 between Catholics and
nom Catholics. 1t will be seen that
the proportion Of mixed marriages to
Catholic marriages is enormous. We
are not told how many Of these mixed
marriages were contracted without a
dispensation, but the number Is prob
ably large. and it was doubtless the
prevalence Of such unions which in
duced the holy See to release Ger
many, from the "Ne Temere."
How is the religion of the children
affected by these mixed marriages?
Very badly. In marriages between
non-Catholic husbands and Catholic
wives 20o,027 children are non-Cath-
olics and 1896 are Catholics. In
marriages between Catholic husbands
and Protestant wives 250,352 children
are Professionals and only 161,720 are
Catholics. Putting 1t In another way,
the children of mixed marriages in
Prussia are 5705 per cent Protestant
and only 1895 per cent Catholic. Were

Woman Immigrants to Be Protected.
The Bureau of immigration has taxi
en- steps to protect immigrant women
who come to the shores of the United

themselves that they are safe from

Late Mgr. Montaenini Friend Of At.
taehe in Washington, >.
Mgr. Montagnini. papal secretary of
state, who died in Geneva recently, al
though not a relative of Count c..
Motagnini, attache of the Italian en-
bassy in Washington, was great
friend of his.
He was very often taken, even by
the European newspaper men, for
Count E. Montagnini, archbishop Of
Larissa, and Pope's chamberlain.
Mgr. Montagnini had q brilliant ca.
reer in the papal diplomacy: he was a
favorite at the Vatican, and was sec
rotary of the nunciature in France,
during the troubles between the re-
public and the church. For a long
period he served as papal secretary of
state and was an intimate friend of
Cardinal Merry del Val. The MOI
tagninis, who are among the wealthi-
est families in Piedmont, have had
many historical diplomats, among them
being Count Carlo, who was Ambas-
sador of Savoy in Vienna during the
reign of Marie Theresa, and is famous
for his political works. The biography
of this statesman can be found in the
Library of Congress in Washington.
Would Buy Mount Vernon.
With view to having the United
States government take over Mount
Vernon and the Carlyle house in Alex
adria, Virginia, Representative Cary
of Wisconsin, last week introduced in
the house two resolutions. providing
that the president should appoint a
commission to assess the value Of
these two properties and report to
congress.
The Carlyle house is one of the most
notable of the historic edifices of vir-
ginia, having been built In 1925. II
was in this house that Governor Brad
dock gave George Washington his
commission as surveyor.
Should Mount Vernon be purchased
by the government the long agitated
question of the admission fee charged
will be settled, and the historic estate
will be thrown open to the public,
which has been advocated for years
by many of our leading statesmen.
