moved to England because he found Amer
ioa was mot fit place for gentleman to
live in and because he could not endure
democratic comment. He was the head Of
the senior branch of the Astor family and
the owner Of the largest New York real
estate holdings commonly valued at $780,
100000.
After going to England he became nat
uraliZed, started Tory newspaper and did
everything he could to establish himself
in aristocratic society. He bought the
largest country house available in Eng
land, Cliyeden on the Thames, belonging
to the Duke of Westminster. 1t was not
until 1916, however when the war was
raging, that he obtained the title Of Baron.
Later he was advanced to the dignity OF
Viscount
His two sons grew up in England. The
older one, Waldorf AstOT was British Food
Controller during the war and is now Sec
retaTy Of the Local Government Board
Viscount AstOr gave Cliveden to his oldest
son when he acquired historic Hever
Castle, the former residence of Queen
Anne Boleyn for himself
Now it is announced that Cliveden is to
let cheap, presumably because the Astor
family is having to pay more taxes than
it can afford. Lord Astor has become so
thoroughly identified with England that he
could not withdraw without appearing
ridiculous.
James J. Van Allen, that very picturesque
Anglo-American society man, who married
Miss Caroline AstOr, but has been a
widOwer for years, was at one time an
eXpatTiate. Mr.. Van Allen is noted as one
OF the few Americans who can wear a
monOcle in his eye without a string to
save il from falling. His objections to
America were practically identical with
those of William Waldorf Astor.
Mr.. Van Allen purchased a historic Eng
lish residence, RushtOn Hall, in Devon
shire, and spent the larger part of the year
there, living as much like a lord as pos
sible. However, he sold this after annoy
ing experiences with English contractors.
gardeners and so forth.
At the outbreak of the war Mr.. Van Allen
was enjoying the waters at Baden Baden,
Germany, reCuperating from the fatigues
Of his past social successes and preparing
for new ones when the great conflict
broke out. For several weeks his rela-
tives and business representatives we're
unable to communicate with him and felt
exceedingly worried about his fate
Finally Mr. Van Allen escaped from the
maelstrOm of war and hastened straight
back to America. He built a new house in
New York and stayed in this country for
the remainder of the war. No sooner did
peace come, however, than the desire TO
see Europe again revived. He obtained a
passport authorizing him to travel in
SPAIN but some unauthorized person
added France, England and Italy"
when Mr.. Van Allen reached Europe his

passport was seized for irregularity and he
had to return to this country
James B. Duke, one of the greatest of
American multi-millionaires, is another
conspicuous instance of those who have
given up their foreign residences and re-
turned to America. Mr.. Duke was for
merly the president and chief owner Of the
great American Tobacco Company, and
after that he organized the British-Amer-
lean Tobacco Company.
A few years ago Mr.. Duke married Mrs.
Nanaline Inman Holt, of Atlanta, Ga, a
very noted Southern beauty. The Dukes
went to London for several seasons, and
Mrs. Duke found the social surroundings
very much to her liking. In 1914 the
Dukes leased Crewe House, the residence
Of the Marquis of Crewe, in Mayfair. It
is a historic house, the largest Obtainable
at that time in the most fashionable
quarter of London.
1t appeared quite decided that the
Dukes would stay in England per-
manently and that a brilliant social
future lay before them. But when the
war broke out they came back TO
America and did not return to Eng
land. Mr.. Duke, Of course, had good
business reasons for going to Eng
land in the first place, and doubtless

Martin, and year later they went to
England and settled there.
The Martins had one of the biggest
houses in London and famous estate in
Scotland called Balmacaan, where they
lived with all the state of an ancient High
land chieftain. Their only surviving son,
Bradley Martin, married in Scotland Helen
Phipps, daughter OF another American mil
lionaire living over there, Henry Phipps,
Of Pittsburgh.
Soon after marriage the young couple
came over here on a visit and decided
quite Unexpectedly that they would prefer
to stay here.
Major Bradley Martin, who is now an
active business man in New York, frankly
stated one reason why he preferred Amer
lea to England.
''They are getting very >SociaTstic over

REPUBLl Jeans TO INVADE
SOUTH ON LEAGUE ISSUE
Test of Strength Will Come in North
Carolina District After Fierce
Campaign Battle.

WASHINGTON, D. C.-With poll
tics fast coming to the fore, repub-
licans and democrats are making ev-
cry effort today to prepare for a test
of strength in the congressional cleo
ton in the Ninth North Carolina dis
trict.
Interest centers in the fact that the
rejection of the treaty by the senate
probably will be one of the main fac
tors in the campaign and that the re-
suit will give political observers
some idea of how the country has
accepted the senate action.
The election, set for December 16,
is to fill the vacancy caused by the
resignation of Edwin Y. Webb to
accept federal judgeship. Republi-
cans, encouraged by recent victories
in Oklahoma and Kentucky, will make
strenuous efforts to extend their lines
into the solid south, which they claim
is showing signs of breaking. The
democrats, evidently alarmed by the
election of republican in an Okla
homa district that is normally 5000
democratic and by the G. o. P. sweep
in Kentucky, are preparing to send
their best campaigners into the dis
trict.

 The congress. at it's session today, also approved legislation pro- hibiting employment of women in in- dustries in which poisonous materials are used. Recommendations was made that bureaus be established un- der the direction of the league of na- tions, for the study of methods for correction of conditions inimical to motherhood. and to coordinate the work of national research in danger ous trades.

Fordyce High School Team Meets Local
 Eleven Saturday

With the expectation of stiff op- position from the Fordyce High school eleven, which comes to Pine Bluff to meet the Pine Bluff High school football team Saturday after noon at the Athletic field, Coach Bassett has been putting his squad thru a hard workout each afternoon at the field. Practice during the three days Of the week has consist ed of passing, kicking, running back punts, tackling and cutting, and blocking. Especial attention is be- ing paid to the offensive and de fensive work of the line.
 A short scrimmage was held yes terday, during which the first team backs opposed the first team line and despite the absence of a regu- lar back from the lineup, were able to penetrate the first team line for good gains. Following the scrimmage, a fast signal practice was obtained.
 Little information is had of the Fordyce team. They are reported to have hard fighting eleven with one or two clever men behind the line, and should they display their usual fight against the Pine Bluff team, the game will be closely con- tested one.

FOUR MEXICANS SLAIN BY SOLDIERS; GIVEN LEY FUGA' EXECUTION
Investigation of Alleged Political Killing Now is De-
 manded.

1 Washington, Nov. 5.-Execution under the Hey fuga" of General Leopoldo Diaz Ceballos, formerly of the Mexican army; Captain Pedro s. Martinez, Antonio Orizaba and Patrico Fonseca Hau, created great indignation turnout Mexico, accord ing to advices today to Washington from the Mexican capital. The newspapers are reported to be una nimous in demanding that steps be taken at once to curb the military and make it subservient to the ju- dietary. =,
 General Ceballos was known in all parts of Mexico, the advices state. He, with the three other men killed, were accused of a plot in Tacuba, a suburb of Mexico City, and were ar rested by squad of federal sol diers. The wife of General Ce- ballos, on appealing to President Carranza was assured that her hus- band would receive all the protection of the law. The courts granted a writ of amparo, which should have given the prisoners every guarantee of the constitution. The military au- thorities were ordered by the court to turn over their prisoners to the civil authorities, but in the face of this the report was made that the men were killed in an attempt to escape. This is the same law under which Madero and Suarez were mur- dered and General Francisco Alvarez was executed in Vera Cruz. M. AL varez, however, had been captured in open rebellion against the gov ernment.
 The newspapers of Mexico City the advices said, are unanimous in demanding that the governor put an end to the use of Hey fuga," which at various times has been used as a means of getting rid of political op- 1 ponents in Mexico.
