NEW YORK, Jan. 15.-John Mont
gomery Smart was president OF tic
American Cold Storage q Shipping
Co. He went down with the Titanic.
His wife had died 10 years before.
As soon az the death Of Smart became
known TO his frienda they began ask
ing where are the children?'
Smart had left boy and q girl. SO
Il was said, who had been put IN
wife's death. The boy, at the time
OF the Titanic disaster. would have
been 20 and the girl Is. People who
had known Smart, and who wanted
TO see these children provided for,
took the matter In hand.

newspapers In European cities, ask

Smart American consuls were re
Quested to make inquiries In their re

In August a newspaper Item driftet
out OF Brussels that the children o
John Montgomery Smart. for whom
Europe was being searched, had beef
found In a Belgian convent. Thei
names. II was asserted, were Georg'
and Annie. The United States con
sui at Brussels was asked to verif,
the report. He could not. There wer'
no such children In any Belgian con
vent, 80 far as he could discover
Meanwhile Smart's lawyers hat

This seemed to indicate to q certain
Ity that there could be no children
Smart had lived lonely and re

In an article in the New York

advocates the amalgamation OF the
Progressive and Republican parties
He says that 6.3o3 .063 votes were cast
for Woodrow Wilson and 7,60S,0sS
were cast for Roosevelt and Taft.
Ergo! Get together!
A quick and sure way Of oyercom-

two defeated parties.
He continues:

has Just been to war with Turkey.
Why? In order TO get some more
land for her people. Fertile land Is
very scarce and dear in Italy-all the
level ground has been bought up ana
is being cultivated and sells at very
high prices. II the Italian wishes a
garden, he must buy the side OF mn
so steep that his wife must hold MIN
by a rope while he is hoeing the
ground. Therefore, Italy, one dark
night, stole across the Mediterranean
sea and took Tripoli
Greece and Seryia are nov at war
with Turkey. Why? In order to get
somo more land for their people
There are said to be 100000 Greeks
In different parts OF Europe and the
United States, and yet Greece can
feed and shelter only about 3,OOO,OOO'
Both Greece and Servia are very
rocky countries and must have more
fertile land or else be absorbed by
some larger nation. Therefore, they
are lighting Turkey, as she is now
weak and has more land than she car
care for!
In every cafe l hear talk about
coming war between England and
Germany. Why? Because Germany
needs more land, and II she cannot
get il any other way, must some day
fight for II. I'VE might as well die In
battle as to starve at home" said
German to me. The population o.
Germany is increasing at about i,
OOU,00O per year and these people
must have land. and the only way
England can avoid war is to let Ger
many have more land, either In south
ern Europe or Africa.
But England and other countries are
having serious internal troubles. Why
Because the working people are de
handing that the idle rich sell at rea
sonable prices scme OF the land which
they are now using only for. shooting

pleasure purposes. And the people

These passed away, however, and
the child seemed better, until Tues

the babes eyes had become glazed
and that she suffered from choking
spells. He picked ihe child up and
she died In his arms.
Mr.. Kerr informed the coroner that
he did call one doctor who did not
come to the house, but as the child
seemed to be recovering, he made
no further effort to get physician.

g. That some day this land In
America will be all taken up the same
as il now is In Italy. Some day land
IN America now considered worthless
will be carefully cultivated. Great
fertile fields will sell for more than
gold mines; while every back yard
will be appreciated and made to pro
