Mrs. Hettie Green's
Money is Claimed by
Hundreds of People

Correspondence of The Associated Press)
New Bedford, Mass. Oct, IL
Claiming relationship TO the late Mrs,
Hetty H. Green, the richest woman in
the world" hundreds of people all
ovei the United States have been
writing to the trustees of the Sylvia
Ann Rowland estate demanding a
share in the Rowland fortune This
estate, amounting to about 81 ,2S0,O0o,
released for distribution by the death
OF Mrs. Green, who had life interest
therein, is to pass to the lineal de
scendants of Gideon Rowland Of
Dartmouth, Mass, grandfather of the
testatrix. Claimants are springlng up
daily from every state in the union, but
they are doomed to disappointment,
inasmuch as there is no foundation
for their claims
The trustees have the complete list
of the heirs, who are ASS in number,
embracing every person who can be
included, and have notified all of them
in regard to the coming distribution,
Although hundreds of others who
bear the names OF the inheriting fami-
lies have written to the trustees, all
attempts to add to the list are proving
futile, because of the thoroug illness
and accuracy with which the geneal-
ogy of the Howlands has been COM
rilcd. Entanglements such as fiction
likes to build around the inheritance
OF great estate do not exist in the
Rowland case. The heirs are scat
tered throughout the country.

Dr.. Won Kuhlmann to
Represent Holland
In Turkish Capital

Correspondence OF The Associated Press)
The Hague, Netherlands, Oct. ST.
DR.. Richard Won Kuhlmann, who since
the outbreak OF war was attached for
short time to the German embassy
IN Washington and has since then rep
resented his country as minister at
The Hague, is leaving shortly to take
up his new appointment as ambassa-
dor in Constantinople during the alb
sence of Count Wolff Metternich "on
urgent private business"
DR.. Won Kuhlmann, who is in his
forty-fourth year, is said to enjoy high
favor with the emperor, and his pro.
motion to this important post testifies
equally to satisfaction with his record
in The Northumberland he is cred
tied with considerable influence on the
economic policy followed--and to the
high esteem in which his abilities are
held in Berlin.
Curiously, he was born in the Turk
ish capital, his father having been gen.
eral director of the Anatolian railways,
and he has an intimate knowledge Of
eastern affairs. The absence" Of
Count Wolff Metternich is likely to be
permanent; the count has now reached
his sixty-third year and served for
thirty-four years in the German diplo-
matte corps.
DR.. Won Kuhlmann's successor at
the Dutch court is DR.. Friedrich Ro-
sen, who has represented Germany
successfully in Abyssinia, at the court

Little French boys and girls, hav-

war, wanted to know why they should
be left out So many requests were
made by children to be permitted to
adopt a war orphan after the manner

decided to organize this auxiliary as
ISOLATION; it is attached to the organi-
cation called the Union OF French

dent of the republic to contribute to
the relief OF war-stricken families.
The organizers OF this movement
find that the result is not only most

has remarkably beneficiary effect
upon the development of the minds
of the children who assume the re-
sponsibilities and begin to learn, at
a tender age, the practical side of

Zepps and Tanks.

An English war correspondent, writing
in praise of the new terrestrial dread
noughts, boasts that "in one short hour the
tanks did more military service and kille
more Germans in uniform than all the
Zeppelins have ever DONE"
1t is difficult to determine exactly how
many Germans in uniform have been killed
by Zeppelins, but that is not their mission.
Their present mission, according to the
official German press, is to avenge the sup
posed victims of the Baralong and vera
cious German newspaper assures us that
"now the Baralong hangs over the house
holders head like a sword of Damocles."
If the householders would only read the
German papers they would know on the
authority of reporter lately in London
that in two nights the Zeppelins destroyed
no less than 21,000 Englishmen, besides
doing vast amount Of damage to prop
erty, one observer (now in Berlin) esti-
mating the loss at $1S7, 100000. Could all
the tanks in the British fleet claim any
thing approaching that?

RUMANIA'S COMMANDER IN CHIEF
An Estimate by a Ctc-Progres Made the
Rumanan Army During the Last Three Years Chiefly
Due to His Efforts.

creased II 10 four complete regiments, which
will be followed by three more now in the
course of formation. The field artillery has
been increased by him by five regiments, and
the five howitzer half regiments are now full
regiments. Out of half regiment of noun
tain artillery he has made complete one
and to the old guns have been fixed quick
firing arrangements.
The peace footing OF the infantry General
Iiesco has increased from $4,000 to $4,000
men, the reserve half regiments have become
complete regiments, and q new tenth bat
talon of chasseurs has been created. The
cavalry has been increased by two new divi-
sions with mounted artillery which, in Ru-
manian opinion, surpasses all European
models. The weak point of the Rumanian
military administration formerly was always
the lack of munitions. According to assur-
anccs of persons in touch with the war
administration, all necessary measures have
been taken during the war to provide the Ru-
manian army in case of q war with all the re-
quisite production of munitions. The factory
at Dudert, which has recently been the scene
of an explosion; another at kotrotcheni,
which was also visited a short time ago by
an accident and the arsenal are the greatest
providers of munitions in the country.
The correspondent concludes by saying:
at is fact that the Rumanian army has
since 1913 made great progress and that the
chief merit in this belongs undoubtedly TO
General Iliesco"

An Invitation to BlackmaiI.
r of The Tribune.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Resistance to blackmail should spring
from our honor and dignity, from our indig-
nation at being asked to be an accessory to
an infamy. Yet if these motives are not
strong enough, intelligence often comes to
their aid, pointing out that resistance is the
best policy, because the first yielding to
blackmail invites its indefinite repetition.
To pass such a law as the cight-hour rail-
road measure under duress has this in COM
mon with such yielding, that it offers such an
invitation to repetition.
The defenders Of the law excuse it because
Of the calamity which it prevented. Those
clever men know perfectly we'll that this
yielding TO duress is an invitation to every
schemer to invent and bring about some later
threat Of dire calamity, to be escaped only
by payment of a huge sum, whether from the
public treasury, or, as in this case, from pr-
vate treasures. 1t says to these same
brotherhoods, "As soon az the memory of
your exploit has dulled, hatch some other
plot, with some cunningly prevarcating
phrase, to extort further increase of pay
which will not bear arbitration, under threat
of some new public calamity" Let the city
fremen's nationwide union hire eminent
counsel to devise some scheme for extorting
an increase of pay which will not bear arbi-
tration, on threat of refusal to fight fire.
Let every class sufficiently base to betray the
trust which the public has put in it devise a
calamity which that public can escape only
by submission to a demand which arbitration
would not sustain.
What makes the passage Of this law baser
than any common yielding to duress is that
the repetitions Of duress which it invites
must needs fall, not on its passers, to whom il
offers political capital, but on their successors
indirectly and on the public directly. II is
as the yielding of trustee to An extortion-
ate claim against an estate which is about TO
pass from under his charge, thus inviting like
attacks on his war. through his successor.
Whether the increase of pay itself is justi-
fable or not is wholly beside the mark. Il is
the yielding to duress that we must condemn.
No merit in the thing yielded can excuse such
yielding under cover of prevarication, and
with denial of investigation and arbitration.
