for agricultural purposes The fox
hunt and the grouse moor will new
er again be so popular as they were
before the war, say the experts.
Here is sample of the properties
now on the market:
Historic manor house in the West
ern highlands. Thirty bed and dress
ing rooms, several reception rooms.
Delightful matured old grounds. Ten
thousand acres of shooting. For sale
or moderate rental.
The advertisement continues to ex-
plain that one seasons shooting on
the game preserve has been 1000
pheasants, 500 partridges, $50 hares.
500 rabbits and many woodcock.
duck and snipe.
Any person in American who has
garnered wealth making munitions, or
otherwise, could lease read castle
on a long time contract at very mod
crate terms.
This castle, its ad. declares, is
charmingly located on a pretty loch
and is surrounded by vast sport
ing estate of $4,000 acres, II 900 of
which consists of one of the best
grouse moors in Scotland. The best
single bag of grouse thus far has been
$50 brace. There also is excellent
salmon fishing and golf links.
The ad makes no mention of agri-
culture.
With hundreds of thousands of men
released from the army after demob-
iiization, Britain must find a place
for them.
Those who have lived in the open
air will not return to desks in stuffy
offices and the indoor cilivian occupa-
tions of the past. They will insist on
continued open air, according to those
who are now making a study Of the
situation.
What were grouse moors and hunt
ing estates of the pre- war period
most probably will be the agricultur-
al homes in the postwar era of thou
sands of the men who have carried
the guns.
That England, Scotland and Wales
will be much nearer the soil long be-
fore the next five years is over is the
firm and widespread conviction in
England.

IN A HUNTERS PARADISE.

London Times: A South African
trooper serving in British East Afri-
ca sends the following description of
scenes in the bush:
Hardy a morning passes but we
have the unique sight of droves of big
game rushing between the different
squadrons. There are all sorts of wild
beasts, lions, leopards, wolves, hye-
mas, wild pigs, giraffes and ostriches.
A member Of squadron bagged Il
fine leopard, eight feet long from its
nose to the tip of the tail. The same

1t is hardly probable that the pres
ent strained relations between the
United States and Germany will lead
to war. The people of this country do
not want war with Germany or any
other nation and it is probable that
the good sense of the country will
prevent the administration running
into an eleventh hour conflict with
Germany. The time for this country
to have acted was when the Lusi-
tania was sunk. Then a strong ad-
ministration would have shown the
iron hand to Germany and subse-
quent notes and threats would have

BRITAIN'S HISTORIC BIG
COUNTRY ESTATES BEING
BROKEN UP BY WAR SALES
By Wilbur S. Forrest.

Omitted Press Staff Correspondent }
LONDON, April 26.-The aristo-
cratic owners of England's famous
country estates, comprising thousands
of Idle acres, today are selling their
holdings because the war has pinch
ed them financially. This is believed
to me an that the idle land will be
broken into small holdings and that
England will become an important ag-
ricultural nation.
These grand country manors, cast
les and mansions on immense reserv-
es of idle land have been famous for
centuries as deer parks, shooting
preserves, lands for the fox hunt,
golf and fishing. Today they are :,
drug on the market.
The current issue of well known
British real estate magazine today
carries 10 solid pages of closely
printed advertisements asking pur-
chasers or tenants for more than 50,-
900 acres of sporting estates and in
Vulnerable country seats thruout Eng
land, Scotland and Wales.
Real estate experts, with an eye
to the future declare the large es-
estates, will in most cases fail of
gale or lease; that they must be
split into smaller tracts and sold

SAM PATCH.

New Orleans Daily States: Towards
the middle of the nineteenth century,
the name Sam Patch was on the
lips of every one. He had made it
familiar from one end of the country
to the other thru his dare devil
feats, and he became the subject of
general interest, and all his wonder
full leaps were widely commented up
on, until the phrase "As crazy as Sam
Patch" became common express
sion. In fact the name become sort
of symbol or synonym for reckless
ness or dare deviltry.
Shakespeare says "Some are born
great, others achieve greatness, and
still others have greatness thrust
upon them" Sam Patch received his
by establishing a national reputation
as the boldest high jumper the world
had known up to this time. He was
born in Rhode Island about 1907.
Sam Patch followed the sea in early
life and afterward became a cotton
spinner. His idiosyncrasy was a fond
ness for high jumps into water, and
it amounted to mania with him. In
1927, after several leaps from lower
levels, he announced that he would
jump from the bridge over the Pas
sale river at Patterson, N. j., which
was about eighty feet IN height. The
police tried to prevent him, but he
made the jump and became the hero
of the hour.
After this Sam visited different
cities, jumping from the yard arms
and top masts of vessels and winning
much renown among a certain class.
His next famous jump was at Niagara
Falls, from a slanting rock midway
between the highest point on Goat
island and tho water, and he achieved

accept the nomination for that Off
ce today If the demand of delegates
to the Democratic state convention
gathered here today is effective.
If Senator Taggart accepts the
nomination, Indiana will present the
spectacle of Taggart, the accepted
chlefta'n of the Democratic organi-
zation, running against James Eli
Watson, former Republican whip Of
the house under Joe Cannon's regime.
The question whether Taggart
would accept overshadowed everything
else as the convention assembled.
The general opinion was that he
would, tho it was repeatedly said that
he does not want the nomination.
Candidates for places on the state
ticket and the Washington delegation
say Taggart's organizing ability 10
needed. They do not overlook the
fact that Taggart is wealthy. He is
the wealthiest man who ever repre-
sented Indiana in the United States
senate.
Should Taggart let it be known
that he absolutely will not accept the
nomination, Governor Samuel NJ. Raj
ston, who appointed Taggarr, to fill
the unexpired term left by the death
of Senator Benjamin h. Srivley,
would be the leading candidate. Tag
gart and Ralston both have adopted
the "let George do it" attitude as
regards each other and the candidacy.
Indications were that the conven-
tion would follow the lead of the Re-
publican state convention and become
a "love feast" with the losing can
didates insisting that the winners be-
come the unanimous choice.
Senator John w. Kern is the can
didate to succeed himself for the long
term senatorship, against Harry S.
New, the Republican candidate. J. A.
M Adair, present congressman from
the eighth Indiana district, will op-
pose James +. Goodrich, Republican
candidate for governor.
Taggart's wish to stay out of the
senatorial contest is said to spring
from dislike for the duties Of a
senator.

Tobacco is drug which contains
powerful poisons. Its charm lies
in its drug effects. If it has any
beneficial effects they are not dis
coverable to the scientific investiga-
tor.
On the other hand there are GER
tain decided results tending to physi-
cal deteoriation, which are rapidly
recognizable. 1t is heart depressant
and experiments on animals have
shown that it has a tendency to pro-
duce hardening of the arteries.
Some of the foremost authorities
have made chemical observations
which indicate that the use of to-
bacco has similar effects on man.
As is generally the case in the use
of drugs there is a tendency to in

that the use of tobacco results in in

depressing the heart action.
There are other affections com

TO make summary in brief the
results of all scientific Investigations
seem to prove conclusively that the
use of tobacco is distinctly harm

After few more leaps of less
height he announced that on a GER
tain date he would jump from the
bank of the Genesse river at Ro-
chester, N. Y, into the water below
the falls, distance of 1875 feet. The
arrangements were made by the man
ayers who took charge of the af-
fair and at the appointed time the
high jumper was on hand. A great
crowd had gathered to witness the
performance, many having come a
considerable distance, tho that was
before the days of the railroads.
Sam made the jump, but it was his
last. In his previous leaps he had
maintained divers attitude, and
cleaved the water like an arrow, but
on this occasion he seemed to loss
control of himself, doubled up and
struck the water broadside. 1t Is
probable that the impact killed him.

swim ashore under the cataract he be-
came entangled in the roots of a

LANSING OUTLINES
WILSON POSITION
ON ARMED SHIPS
BeI|IgerentS Should Presume Armed Merchant

Contrary; foresta|Is Teuton Inquiry

United Press.
WASHINGTON, D. c., April &C.
The belligerents should presume
that the armed merchantmen are
peaceful unless they show conclusive
evidence to the contrary.
This is the position that Secretary
of State Lansing has announced in
a memorandum prepared at the re-
quest of President Wilson.
Merely because an enemy merchant
ship is allowed to carry arms for de-
fense doesn't justify Germany's call
ing it a warship and attacking it re-
gardless Of the rights Of the persons
on board. The memorandum is aim
ed to forestall Germany asking the
United States government for its po-
sition in this matter.
The right to sink neutral merchant
men under any circumstances Is
doubtful. The memorandum declare,
that President Wilson feels that the
American sailors are on the merchant
ships of other countries in an attempt
to earn their living and that they
should be protected according to law.
The memorandum declares that any
Iss-amg warshll smax. ,properly use
force to compel the surrender of an
armed merchantmen that fires first.
1t agrees with the German conten-
ton that vessels used for hunting
submarines are warships, but dis
agrees with Germany's contention
that she has a right to sink any
armed merchantmen on the assump-
ton that it is armed for offensive
purposes.
