MILITIA?AGE IN
Virginia Shows Great Increase
During the Past Ten
Years.
ISpeclal to The Times-Dispatch.] |
Washington, August 22.?The United j
States Census Bureau to-day issued
un Interesting and Well pri pared state?
ment showing the mllltla strength or
the United .States at this tithe, as ? out
pared with ten years ago.
In the total population of the United
States texclusivu of noncontiguous
IrrltorltK or pOBSSSlons) there were lh !
1910, 2?.173.6S4 male- of militia age. J
that is, males from eighteen to forty- I
four years, Inclusive. In 1900 the males
of mllltla ago numb, .- . 16.1S2.702, The
ligitr.: for 1910 exceeds that for 1!?00
by 4.290.9S2. While the total popula- I
tl?n of the country has increased dur- [
Ing the decade 21 per cent, |
' males of mllltla age have In
I the same period Increased 26.",
I per cent, and, as a consequence they
j constituted a somewhat greater pr?
; portion of the total population In 1.910
i than they did in 1900. Of tho total |
population of both sexes and all ages j
, In 1910, 22.:: per cent were malts of
mllltla ago, thu corresponding pei -
centagc for 1500 being 21.3.
| The fact that mal. s of militia age
, Increased more rapidly than the total I
i population Is accounted for in purl Oy
immigration, which luv been during
? the last decude, to a greater degree
? than in earlier years, predominantly
I male. Among Immigrants the propor?
tion e'ghtcen to forty-four years of
luge greatly exceeds the proportion in
those ages among natives, and conoe
I riucnlly the Northen, and Western
States to which immigrants chiefly go j
i have, as compared with the Southern
i States, a greater proportion of their
popui.it.on males of mllltla age, The
Easterii divisions, however, lose some
portion of their adult male populatllon
by migration westward, and an effect
of this westward migration appears lh
the nigher percentages shown for the
States of the Hocky Mountain and Pa
ctllc coast regions.
As compared with the general aver?
age noted above for the country as a
whole, o- 22.:i per cent, malts of militia
ago In iOl'Q formed 22.8 per cunt of tho
total population In the four northern
.?lslons taken together, 2S per cent
In the two far western divisions, and
19.9 per cent in the three southern di?
visions taken together. The percen?
tages in the individual Northern
States are with few exceptions close
to the average for tho country as a
whole; in the far Western States they
are generally considerably above, and
In the Southern States generaly below
this average.
Among the States the percentage for
Wyoming is highest, males of militia
age in -910 constituting 37.4 per cent
of the population. Other States with
high percentages are: Nevada, 35.9;
Momma. :i:.-. Washington. 89.8;
Arizona, 2?.9; Oregon. 2S.3, and Cali?
fornia. 2S, ail of these States being
In tho llocky Mountain and Pacific
Coast regions. The percenta/e for
North Carolina, IIS, Is the lowest.
Of the 20,473,684 males of militia
ape In 1910, 2,156,361 were In the Sin?
ei,- stato of New York. Of tho in?
crease for the decade amounting to
4,290,982, nearly one-fourth, 1,074,424,
was In the Middle Atlantic dipision.

759.
In each of tho States except five
males of mllltla age constituted a
greater proportion of the total popu?
lation In 1910 than they did in 1900.
In four States (Maine, New Hamp?
shire. Montana and Colorado) the
proportion declined slightly and In
one (Kentucky* it remained un?
changed Nevada shows the greatest
change in the percentage of males of
militia age?from 27.4 to 35.9 per cent.
Males of militia age constituie-i
43.3 per cent of the total male popu?
lation of the country In 1910. the cor?
responding percentage for 1500 being
41.7. In live States the male popula?
tion in 1910 was more than half of
mllltla age?Wyoming. 55.6 per cent;
Nevada. 65.9; Montana. 54.3; Washing?

FOREIGN DIVORCE IS

Large Number Will Be Affected'

Ruling.

EVERY American woman wedding,!
or wedded lo, un Italian, should
take note 61 tili; decision juut
rendered by the latlian Court ol ;
Final Appcul. As everyone in aware,!
di voice does not exist in Italy, and I
the dozen or so >;f bills tbat have been
presented to thti National LoglslatUn
with the object of placing a div&rce
law on the statute book, have boen
defeated by overwhelming majorities.]
Tim consequences hits been that
whenever an Italian subject deslre3:
release from matrimonial bonds, either
a legal dainlctle, or else naturaltza
tlon. would be sought and obtained In I
Prance, Switzerland or Germany, where
divorce is easy. After having obtained j
In one of these countries a decree ol ?
divorce, the parties returned to Italy,
and resumed their Italian domicile or
nationality, as the case uilgiit b?- '
Moroover, they thereupon contracted I
other marriages In Italy. This has I
been done without let or hlndrancej
hitherto: but henceforth it will b
Impossible.
Some time ago Count Carlo Gule
clardini, quarreled violently with his]
wir.-, a daughter of Senator Moreno),
Envoy of the Argentine Republic at
Rome; owing to her objection to his]
attentions t.. t:.x-Cr6wh-l'rihcess|
it Saxony. Finally the couple made
up their minds to secure complete dis?
solution of their marriage. According- ,
ly the count secured naturalization it I
Hungary, und Immediately aft< rwards
a Hungarian divorce. He thereupon
returned to Italy, and wishing to re?
cover possession of his child, which
had been awarded to hiin by tu? Hun?
garian tribunal, but bad been retained
by the mother who hud refused to sur?
render it. lie r< -assume i his Italian
citizenship, and appealed to th; Ital?
ian courts to enforce the Hungarian
decree.
The matter has been carried from
one coutt to another in Italy, until
It has been finally decided that
the Hungarian divorce has no validity
In Italy, Hlnci Fount Carlo Gulcclar
dlnl manifestly secured his decree at
Budapest for the purpose of evading
the marriage laws of Italy. Tip- pf
t of this Is to prevent either Count
Carlo or the Countess from marrying
again, while If the count wishes t"
have the custody of his child, he has
only to Invoke the services of the
police for its seizure, unless his wife
taken time by tin- forelock and ob?
tains a legal separation and the award
of the child. which is all that the
Italian tribunals ure competent to
grant.
There are a large number of Wp'll
Itnowh Italians who will be affected by
this ruling of the Supreme Court,
among them the former Countess Ar
1 ture F?bbrlcottl, who on the Strength
of a divorce obtained In France from
lo r Florentine husband, married Huron

Mexican society and the foreign dip
i lomntlc corps In M.-xIco would bo per

j Italian court In refusing to receive her

I Every American woman therefore
should take thoroughly to heart th*
fuel that hear.-forth when she Weds
I an Italian, it Is for life, and since as
?she becomes Italian by her marriage,
there can be no dissolution of the bond

While on the stltiject of foreign di?

ter of Inquiry that has reached me from
a reader, that the law of Hungary Is
iik.- that of Prance, in prohibiting a
woman to bear the name and title of
former husband after th" marriage,
has been legally dissolved, no matter!
win tii. r the decree has been granted
in her favor, or against her. Para?
graph 91 of that section of the Code
dealing with marriage is very explicit:
Oil this point, and any reference tO|
the Almanach de Gotha, and to its
supplementary volumes dealing with
the lesser nobility, will show that the.
divorced wives of Hungarians are noted!
therein with the 'following words:.
legally prohibited from further use
..: the name and title." A case In point
Is that of Louis t. Haggln's daughter
Ulla, who still calls herself "Countess
Festetlcs," although her marriage with!
Count Rudolf Festetlcs was severed
by divorce in 1901.

and of I#ord Mar us Beresford; was'
twiCi married In 1X7 1, while still a
bachelor, and serving in tho army as
Captain of the 1st Life Guard Regi?
ment, ho eloped with the wife of a
younger son of the lir.-,t Lord Vivian,
Captain, the Hon. John Vivian of the
llth Hussars, afterwards Member of
Parliament for Truro, and permanent
Under Secretary of .State for War.
She was a "laughter of Major George
Rowley.
Tho elopement was followed after
some delay by a suit for divorce
brought by Captain Vivian, who named
Lord Waterford as co-respondent. As
soon as the decree was made absolute.
Lord Wutorford married the former
Mrs. Vivian, and while there was at
the time some- rumor of a child hav?
ing beun bom to them, two or three
w, eka before their marriage. It Is
certain that their wedded life was
c.ilidlcss. Indeed, It wus very brief;
for the Ilrat Lady Waterford died bare?
ly eight months later. A year after?
wards the marquis led to the altar
Lady Blanche Somerset, only sister jt
tlie present Duke- of Beaufort. The
claimant, who declares that ho was
put out to nurse with a woman In
th.- Fulham district of London, and
that ho wus provided for by the fifth
Marquis Of Waterford until his six?
teenth year, may or may not be the
son of that nobleman, anil Mrs. John
Vivian, born before their marriage.
Probably he Is an Impostor who has
built up a story upon the rumor that
was current forty years ugo. Even If
he Is what he claims to be, ho has
no right to the title or estates, as
being horn out of wedlock: and the
London police should prevent his per?
ambulating tin- Streets with a "sand?
wich sign" Inscribed, "I am the sixth
Marquis e,f Waterford. 1 do this to
i forward my case and obtain Justice."
