UNREST IN ENGLAND
Duke of Marlborough BIames
0earth Of Cottages for Evil.
Absence Of Homes for HumbIest
Glasses Of Rural Workers 10 De.
popuIatlna the country-"Week
Enders" 10 Chief Cause.

London.--When the duke OF MARI
borough, in his recent articles In the
Daily Mail on Industrial Unrest in
England" traced the source of the
trouble back to the dearth OF cottages
for country laborers, II seemed rather
ianciful, but since his articles we're
printed, no small amount OF evidence
mas appeared to back up his theory.
One OF the most interesting contri-
buttons to the discussion comes from
"A Country Parson," who says that the
dearth OF homes for the humblest
classes or rural workers is a crying
evil According to him. It is depopu-
lating the country.
Marriages among the young people
are at a discount he says. Twenty
years ago, in his parish. the registers
show there was a yearly average Of
six marriages Of agricultural laborers
During the last eight years this aver
age has been reduced to one. Assur-
edly this statement backs up the duke
OF Marlborough.
The young men in the country have
no inducements to marry there and no
homes to settle down in. They flock
to the cities, they crowd out the city
born OF weaker physique, they lower
the standard Of wages by Cutting the
labor market Then come poverty,
strike, paralysis of business, general
all-round disaster.
But why should there be a dearth
OF rural cottages. Why does not the
law Of supply and demand operate to
end 1t in short order? One reason
seems to be that all sorts OF outsid-
ers are competing with the agricultur-
al laborer in the way Of a cottage that
may exist or be built In rural regions.
Behind this is the fundamental
cause, the fact that the agricultural
laborer is so badly paid or paid in
such an impractical way that he is not
able to pay anything like a decent
rent for home-anything like the
rent which viii return even the
smallest interest on the builders in
vestment.
Illustrating the competition with the
laborer for the rural cottage, the
case Of the week ender is cited. The

LORD GOES TO NEW ZEALAND
HaIf-5rother Of Lady Constance Fol-

Appointed Governor Of Dominion.

whose halfsister, Lady Constance
Foljambe, Tilted a clergyman at the

Dominion of New Zealand, in success
sion to Lord Islington. The Earrs ia
ther, who died in 1907 served in the
Naval Brigade IN the New Zealand
war in 1863 and was present at the
Storming Of Rangiriri.
Lady Constance and the present
Earl of Liverpool had different moth

the Duke of Devonshire.
The earl is the husband of the only
daughter of Vlscount Monck of Coun.

childless and the title probably will
descend to the present holders half

The new governor of New Zealand
has estates in Lincolnshire and Not

man. Hunting, shooting and cricket
are his favorite recreations. He is a
descendant Of the half-brother of the
second Earl Of Liverpool, who was
British Prime Minister from 1912 to
1927. After the death of the third
earl the title lapsed and was not re-
vived until a few years ago, when

week ender of moderate means wants
a very cheap place where he can run
down in fine weather and spend day
or two at what is to him merely
nominal expense. He finds a laborer's
cottage picturesquely situated; he
goes to the landlord and offers a gro
tesquely low rent for it, say five shil-
lings or $1.25 a week. on condition
that it be restored or fixed up-put in
good order. The landlord cheerfully
accepts the offer and puts the cottage
in first-rate condition, for the rent Of
the city man offers, absurd though it
may seem to a New Yorker, is any

much as the agricultural laborer can
afford to pay.

I blood the Turk has she'd" the
glorious slaughter OF the Moslem cap
tives," and so on.
Like Homer and other true epic
poets, Nicholas ignores the moral con-
ventions of war. He exalts equally
Montenegrins who have died for their
country and Montenegrins who have
merely tortured Turks, butchered
them in their sleep or dropped poison
into their drink. The Hague conven-
tion plays but a small role in the
poetry Of Cettigne. There is a touch
ing Montenegrin poem describing
Holy Night. 1902, when the brave hill
men rose and butchered in cold blood
defenseless Turks. When you read
Nicholas verses you conclude that
hero needs only two qualifications
first, he should be superhumanly
courageous, and secondly, he should
be endowed with a fine equipment Of
rascality.
Yet this adipose literary prince has
a real warriors chivalry. He is a
knight and a gentleman. He hates
the Turks as Turks; but as warriors
and blood-lovers he welcomes them,
and he is grateful to them for supply
ing the pctentialities of combat That
explains many queer Inconsistencies
In his verse.
On one page he eXtols massacre and
treachery against the Turk; on the
next he writes poctical praise Of Sulei-
man Pasha, with whom he crossed
swords in 1873. Then a little further
on is a touching poem, THE Lament
of Osman Pasha," which describes the
Turkish defense Of Plevna against a
Russian army five times as strong.
With this brave spirit in him,
Nicholas permits no man to offend the
few Turks who live in his barren
land. This motive inspires one of his
finest poems. A white-bearded Pod
goritza Turk limped to the Dvorska
Utica fig tree and complained to
Nicholas that two chieftains had re-
viled him and called him old car
rion." He demanded justice.
Return" said Nicholas, tonight |
and you will get it." When the Turk
returned he found Nicholas under the
fig tree by the light Of a torch. Be- |
hind sat the two insulters, looking un-
and abased. You shall |
have justice!" said Nicholas, where
upon he took up a copybook and de-
claimed to the Turk and to the prose-
cutors an ode running something like
this:
Thee, old lion, they insult; they
laugh at thee; they deride thee; they
call thee carrion! Thou carrion?
Thou? Thou that has conquered half
the world; thou that hast watered
they Arab steed in the Minclo and
challenged under Vienna's white walls
The emperors of the west.
"Yes, old lion! We that on battle
ields have met and measured words,
we love one another as only enemies
owe! And we shall meet again on
old lion, and slay and love
)ne another"
And here, at the thought that he
night some day slay the Turk, fat
Nicholas embraced his racial enemy
md sent him on his way with the
,cho: Old lion, old lion," ringing in
lis ears.
