One-Twentieth of U. S.
in Divorce Meshes
CINCINNATI. July 11.—‘‘In the past
twenty years one-twentieth of the popu
lation of the United States has been
Involved In divorces." declared C. C. Car
stens, of New York City, national direc
tor of the Child Welfare League of Amer
ica, who conferred here with the thirty
executives of local child welfare Institu
tions.
“The child Is generally merely a pawn
on the chessboard and Is given but lit
tle consideration In most divorce cases,"
he said. “The total number concerned
in these divorce cases has been 5.335,-
000 men, women and children. These
figures are based on census returns and
other data. They give an Idea of the
vast extent of the problem of the child’s
welfare in divorce cases.
“The Child Welfare League Is striv
ing to see that the child gets a square
deal. We are slso actively Interested In
protecting the minds of girls and youths
under eighteen years of age from the
baneful influence of 'movie' pictures of
'the eternal triangle’ type. We believe
that rigid censorship of the movies Is the
proper remedy."

MOTHER’S GREAT
PROBLEM TO WIN
HEART OF CHILD
Possession of Princeton (Ind.)
Girl of Less Concern Than
Loss of Her Love.
Special to The Times.
PRINCETON, Ind., July 11. —Mrs.
Utliel Montgomery, mother of 14-year-old
Mary Eloise Montgomery, custody of
whom she has been denied nine years de
spite a court decree, went into the Gibson
Circuit Court here today not so much
concerned with the problem of winning
possession of Mary Eloise through ha
beas corpus ns with winning back the
heart, of her daughter.
That is Mrs. Montgomery's problem.
T. Wilbur Montgomery, the child's father,
who is believed to be on his way here
from Florida, and Wilbur's sister, Stella,
and his parents, who are wealthy resi
dents of Posey County, sny the daughter
does not wish to return to the mother.
That is literally true. The mother
contends the child's mind for nine years
has been poisoned against her, jut she is
confident she can overcome this bias in
time.
The father's relatives, the defendants
in the case, are to make their fight main
ly on two points, that the child is old
enough now to judge for herself and
does not wish to return to her mother,
and that the mother is not able to care
properly for the child. Attorneys for
the mother say these allegations will be
swept aside.
Mary Eloise was awarded to her
mother in a divorce decree granted on a
cross-complaint back in 1912, when she
was 4 years old. The court stipulated,
however, that the girl should visit Mont
gomery's parents three months each year.
At the end of the first, vacation, both the
girl and hr father had disappeared. He
was arrested as a kidnaper, escaped from
the reformatory, defied the courts and
three Governors and the battle for pos
session of the girl finally subsided until
she appeared recently at the home of
relatives in Posey County.
