DUKE GIVES SITE
FOR COLONY OF VETS
Great Sutherland Estate Lessened by
1900 Acres.

Special Cable to The washington Herald
I London, Jan. IA white paper Is
sued from the Scottish office announces
$4,000 acres Of his holdings to found q
colony for soldiers and sailors who
enlisted voluntarily and have a good
record. The land will be equipped
with suitable dwellings and steadings.
and work viii be provided for the
tenants in the neighboring plantations
and woods.
In this patriotic gift the duke,
whose total holdings are said to ex-
ceed 100000 acres. and who is Eu-
ropes greatest land owner excepting
the Gar of Russia, and the duchess,
who was Lady Eileen Butler. are merely
carrying out the large philanthropies
for which their house hasobeen noted.
Her grace has particularly endeared
herself to the English people both by
her charm of manner and her many
charities.
The colony for military veterans is
situated partly in the parish of Tongue
and partly in the parish of Farr. in the
northern part of Sutherland. 1t is a
grazing farm and carries from 1000 to
5000 Cheviot sheep of good quality.
also some cattle and horses. The land
under cultivation yields a good crop of
oats, potatoes, and turnips, and areas
of land at different points are capable
Of reclamation.
The Duke of Sutherland reserves the
fishing in the River Borgie and in a
few lochs, and likewise retains an op-
tion over two acres of land for the
erection Of fishing lodge and offices.
With the exception of this reservation
and option the deed of gift will convey
the lands absolutely to the state.
Not less than half of the holdings
will be available for men who have
served in the navy. The selection of
the tenants will be in the hands of the
secretary for Scotland.
The dukes generosity at the present
moment is all the more notable from
the strain placed on the resources of
the wealthy by the increasing exac-
tions of the war. Only a few weeks
ago a part OF the dukes Scottish es-
tate was put on the market for sale by
private treaty. The total offered
amounted to zS3,34s acres. The size of
such a stretch of territory may be i'm
pressed on Americans by comparing II
with the Greater New York City. The
tract under negotiation is some $4,000
acres larger than all five boroughs Of
New York.
The duchess is rated as one OF the
most beautiful women in society. She
served as train bearer to Queen Mary
at the coronation in 1911. and only q
fortnight before the war began her
presence at Stafford House at her sale
by the interest of Scottish home chari-
ties evoked favorable comment Dur
ing the great conflict she has been
prominent in the auxiliary military ac-
tivities of society.

Hunah! How's This
Cincinnati authority says eorns

Hospital records show that ever,
time you cut a corn you invite lock-
jaw or blood poison, which is needless
says a Cincinnati authority. who tells
you that a quarter ounce Of q drus
called freezone can be obtained at lit
tie cost from the drug store but Ia
sufficient to rid ones feet of every
hard or soft corn or callus.
You simply apply a few drops Of
freezone on a tender. aching corn and
soreness is INSTANTLY relieved. Short
ly the entire corn can be lifted out
root and all. without pain.
This drug is sticky but dries al
once and is claimed 20 just shrivel up
any corn without inflaming or even
irritating the surrounding tissue OF

FRIGHTFULNESS POLICY
A MYTH, SAYS ENVOY
: German Ambassador Denies Submarine
Campaign Against Neutrals.

There Is no danger of another sub
marine crisis between Germany and the
United States. and TO basis for rumors
that Germany will renew its campaign
Of destructiveness with under-sea craft.
the German Embassy announced last
night.
The embassy authorized the statement
that negotiations with the State De-
partment. growing out of the sinking Of
various American ships by submarines,
were proceeding smoothly and that no
incidents have bsea injected into the con-
troversy to warrant the suggestion that
the issue has been brought to critical
stage.
Ambassador Won BernstorH was en-
phatic in declaring his belief that the
American government will not be mis-
led by what he characterized as false
reports, circulated by Germany's enemies.
that the Teutcns would let loose new
fleets Of submarines in campaigns OF
"frightfulness.~ Such reports, he said.
were pure inventions Of the enemy"
designed to spread fear Of another crisis.

YOUR WEDDING DAY
And the Fansss Me- asa WsDes W
Hsve shared IL
By MARY MARSHALL.
january z+Lord Byron snd Anne lss-
bella MiIbanke-

Some of the critics of Lord Byron. fa~
mous English poet. seem to wonder why
his wife left him year after his mar
riage But anybody who is familiar with
his life must rather wonder why she
stayed so long. For Byron seems 10
have been unable TO find happiness or
even permanent interest in one woman
1t is said that when he was years old
he became SO passionately fond Of hh
cousin Mary Dun that when she was
married several years later he was nearly
thrown into commissions. From that time
on Byron was never free from a violent
passion for some charmer OF other.
Anne Isabella Milbsnke. the only
woman whom Byron ever married, does
not seem to have been especially charm
ing. She was the daughter of Sir Roberi
Milbanke and was a member Of an In
tellectual group 20 which the young Lord
Byron also belonged. Byron said Of her
that she had small and feminine fea-
tures, The fsirest skin and a perfect tem-
per and figure" He first proposed ia
her when she was 20 years old. but 10
was not until three years later that they
were married. In the meantime they had
corresponded and a year before then
marriage Byron wrote to a friend thai
there was then mot a spark OF love on
either side"
They were married on January 2 16
years ago, at the home Of the brides
father. Just about a year later, after thu
birth Of a daughter. Mrs. Byron left her
husband. In the meantime she had tried
TO prove that he was insane, but the doc
tors called to examine him had found
him apparently quite in right mind AZ
all events the mismated couple veS
separated and Byron was left free 10
cultivate what passions he would.
Years later Lady Byron said that her
real object in blasting her husbands
memory, as she put IL. by continual as
sertions OF his insanity was that she
might countersct some Of the evn iniu-
ences of his work and thus shorten his
term Of eNpiation In another world.
