"RICHEST WOMAN IN WORLD
HAD RELATIVES EVERYWHERE

NV BEDFORD, Mass, Oct. I'll
Claiming Relationship to the late Mrs.
Hetty H. Green, the richest woman in
the world" hundreds of people all over
the United States have been writing to
the trustees of the Sylvia Ann How
lad estate demanding a share in the
Rowland fortune. This estate, amount
ing to about $1,250,000, released for
distribution by the death of Mrs.
Green, who had life interest therein,
is to pass to the lineal descendants Of
Gideon Rowland of Dartmouth, Mass,
grandfather of textratrix. Claimants
are springing 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 436 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 families
have written to the trustees, all at
tempts to add to the list are proving
futile, because of the thoroughness and
accuracy with which the genealogy or
the Howlands has been compiled En-
tanglements such as fiction likes to
build around the inheritance of a great
estate do not exist in the Rowland
case. The heirs are scattered through
out the country.
Despite common belief that Cid
con Rowland and Mrs. Hetty Green
were descendants of John Rowland,
one of Mayiower Pilgrims, the ances-
trail line clearly shows that they belong
to another branch of the numerous
Rowland family.

PARIS, Oct. 21-A new war relief
organization, the Brothers and Sisters
Of the War" has grown out of the par
ticipation of American children In
the work of the "Orphanage of the
Armies"
Little French boys and girls having
learned how American children have

left out. So many requests were made
by children to be permitted to adopt a
war orphan after the manner of the
American children that it was decide
to organize this auxiliary association;
it is attached to the organization call
ed the Union of French and Allied
Families that was founded under the
patronage of t e President of the Re-
public to contribute to the relief of
war stricken families.
The organizers of this movement
find that the results is not only most
appreciate aid to the orphans, but
has a remarkably beneficiary effect
upon the development of the minds Of
the children who assume the RESPONSE
bilities and begin to learn, at a tender
age, the practical side of charity.

production, has been selected as the til
tie for the second photoplay in which
the excellent dramatic artist, Marie
Doro, will be seen at the Alcazar on

This thrilling drama of social and
political conditions was written espec-
tally for the star by Marian Fairfax,

duced under the personal direction of
William c. DeMille. In this photo

fetal flower factory. How love de-
velops her, both mentally and spiritu-
ally, how she eventually blossoms forth
as a beautiful young woman, is the
central theme of this stirring picture.

unusual excellence, including such
prominent artists as Thomas Meighan,

you fellows come along and tell us

fellow citizen who is merely adVO-

the question of serf slavery for the
