London, April 29.-The Countess OF
Warwick. owner Of $4,000 acres, has
issued a stirring appeal to the landed
sristocracy of Great Britain to follow
the example Of the Russian grand dukes
and turn over all their feudal proper
ties 20 the state.
1--WE must CO." she says. 1.-THE arts
tocracy Of England, in its position OF
hereditary land owners, must go.
"The country rings with suggestions
for the betterment of the conditions
under which land is cultivated, but as
see things the suggestions are IN no
instance drastic enough. The only cure
for the present evils seems 20 me 70 pc
state ownership. the abolition OF all
private property in the earth that was
given TO all OF us in common.
There arc two classes OF large land

Fortune Smiles
Where Germans
Once Spread Ruin
French and Belgians Find
War Brings Them
Much Money

Behind the British Lines in Fr"nce,
April l5.-When the tide Of German
invasion swept through Belgium and
into France thousands of the inhab-
itants fed before it, leaving their
property to the mercy Of the invader.
The tide was stemmed and made to
ebb but in its backward rush still
more material damage was done, and
now, after two years and more of
trench warfare, the country behind the
British lines consists Of broad belt
Of blackened and pitted fields, shat
tered woods and damaged buildings,
where once lay a region of agricult-
ural peace and plenty.
Yet it is surprising to find, amid
all this apparent ruin, that the popu-
lation is enjoying n prosperity as
great as, and in many cases greater
than, in peace times.
Many of the old inhabitants have
gone, it is true. but large proTor-
ton have stayed behind, in spite of
the perils and restrictions which
proximity to the trench area involves,
and, although the hustle of war has
put an. end to many Of their wonted
daily avocations, starvation is far re-
moved from the door even Of the mean
est dwelling place.
Soldiers Cause Prosperity

diers is the secret OF the war zones

and willing to pay good currency for
services rendered, have provided he
