BRYAN's DAUGHTER
 DOES RELIEF WORK


 William J. Bryan's daughter Ruth, who won distinction in various activ- tiles, is now engaged with other American women in London, says the New York Times, in providing relief through employment for those whose support has been withdrawn or whose means have been otherwise straitened by the war; The Duchess of Marl- borough and Mrs. John Astor are among her associates.
 Husband At Front
 The daughter of the former secre- tary of state is the wife of Reginald A. owen. captain of engineers in the British army. They were married in 1910. Her former husband was Will liam Home Leavitt. an artist, to whom she was married in 1903 and by whom she had two children.
 Mrs. Owens present work began soon after the outbreak of the war. when the needs of soldier and sailor widows became suddenly urgent and when. also, restrictions upon various industries threw many women out of employment. Believing employment to be economically the soundest bas- is of assistance, Mrs. Owens and her associates organized the American Women's Way Relief Fund and opened work rooms in London where women might make a living and the products of their work, such as useful gar ments. might be put to worthy use. The first intention was to distribute the garments among London charita- ble institutions. Later the output was sent direct to the front for the British wounded in hospitals.
 On chautauqua Platforms.
 Before and through her first mar riage Mrs. Owen became widely known in this counthry, for her keen interest in the affairs of her father One summer when he was engrossed in politics. she took up the Chautau- qua circuit for him and delivered his lectures. She had his gift for speak ing, and pleased her audiences. who seemed contenta with the substitu- tion.
 At one time. when she lived in Den yer. the Jane Jefferson Club elected her as its president It was a politi- cal club, and through it's influence named one year as a delegate to the Colorado Democratic convention. Fac tional troubles led her to absent her self from the convention and give a proxy to @ woman. who turned her coat in the proceedings and went ov- CT to the and-Bryan side.
 There was talk of nominating the ex-secretary's daughter for Congress, and something like formal announce ment was made of her intention to take the stump for her father in one

MISS ADAMS PEACE
PLAN MADE PUBLIC

CHICAGO.- Miss Jane Addams' peace plan to stop the world war, which she submitted to President Wn- son this week. was made public today.
 Despite the fact that the Hull House leaders proposition was said to have been ratified unofficially by high of- ficials in practically all the belliger- ent nations, it is reported that the President rejected it.
 Miss Addams recommended the ap- pointment of three American citizens to act wholly free of the United States government as an arbitration body.
 The committee was to investigate the various contentious of the war ring factions and adjust them to a medium upon which peace could be based.
 With the unofficial approval by Eur ope. it was pointed out to President Wilson that such a plan would solve the problem.
 NAoo Auualuo ouuNu Nllat NvtAAAiio- sions similar to the American body might be appointed to participate in the arbitration negotiations.
 Details of the peace plan. together with its reported rejection by the President, were contained in a tele- gram received here by Louis P. Loeb. ner. secretary of the Chicago Peace Society.

of America has arrived at a point
where it apparently is overpopulated.
Henry George arrived at the solution
of this problem by accident. Travel
ing through a California city, for
want of something else to make con-
versatiOn, he asked a passing team
ster, What is land worth around
heTe?" The teamster pointed to
some land far off in the distance and
replied: "You car get some land out
there for $1,000 an acre" Instantly,
as if by inspiration, the thought came
to Henry George that here was the
cause of low wages and unemploy-
ment. AS population increased the
price asked for permission to use the
the earth increased even faster.
Henry George had witnessed the
high wages which labor could COM
mand when land was low in price.
He saw, in fact experienced, the fall
ing of wages to a lower and lower
point as land became monOpOlized
and was held for speculative prices.
He compared the eastern states with
the western and found that the high
er the price to which land had risen
the worse was the condition of labor
in that section. In looking I'VE the
European countries he found that the
most frightful poverty existed where
land had increased the most in value,
like in London. His remedy, though
simple, is comprehensive. 1t is to
establish equal rights to the earth by
having government collect the rental
value of land in lieu of all other taxes,
