Claim Action Is Forced Upon

MUST SEEK SMALLER HOMES
One Big Landed Proprietor After
Another Is Dividing and Selling
His HoIdinps-ln Same Families
for Many Centuries.

London.-England's great estates
are crumbling under the weight Of
taxation and death duties and one big
landed proprietor after another among
the nobility is dividing and selling his
holdings, many of which have been In
the hands of single families for cen
turtles.
The latest indication that peers are
finding it necessary to seek smaller
homes comes in the announcement os
the duke of Portland that he may have
to abandon his palatial mansion,
Welbeck Abbey, in Nottinghamshire.
This is only one of the residences of
the duke. who owns some 100000
acres in England. @
Duke Expresses Fears.
"For centuries past landed estates
have been handed down from genera
tiOn to generation" said the duke,
addressing his tenants on the occasion
of the coming of age of his son Lord
Francis Cavendish. Landlords and
tenants have lived on terms of mutual
trust and affection, 1 fear, however,
that the state OF things is passing
away, for with the present weight of
taxation and the extremely 'onerous
death duties, the future may become
very uncertain for all landed pro-
tIifi6ters. If this is good for the
country, l certainly do not complain.
"With regard to my own case, It may
not be possible for me and my family
to continue to reside at Welbeck, but
I fear that there can be little doubt
that those who come after me will not
be able TO do So"
