London, Sept. 2. 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 sell ing his holdings, many of which have been in the hands of single families lor centuries. The latest indication that peers are finding it necessary to seek smaller homes in the announcement of the Duke of Portland that he may have to aban don his palatial mansion, Welbeck Ab tey, in Nottinghamshire. This :s only one of the residences of the Duke, who owns some 200,000 acres in England. "For centuries past landed estates have been handed down from genera tion to generation," said the Duke, ad dressing his tenants on the occasion of the coming of age of his son, Lord Francis Cavendish. "Landlords and ten ants have lived on terms of mutual trust and affection. I fear,' however, that the state of things is passing away, for, with the present weight of taxation and the extremely onerous incidence of death duties, the future may become very uncertain for all landed proprie tors. If this is good for the country, I certainly do not complain. 'With regard to my nown case, it nay or may not be possible for me and my family to continue to reside at Welbeck, but I fear that there can be littlo. doubt that those who come after me will not be able to do so." MANY NEW TENANTS On all sides historic houses are find ing new tenants ana ancient lamiues are severing their connection with the soil. The Duke of Devonshire sold Devon shire House in 1919 and Stowe House, the property of Baroness Kinloss, was disposed of recently. Others who have sold their properties recently include the Duke of Bedford, the Duke of Westminster, the Duke of Rutland, the Duke of Grafton, the) Duke of Marlborough, Lord Leconfield, Earl Londesborough, Lord Portman, Lord Camden, Marquis de Castega, Earl Beauchamp, Earl Bradford, Lord Aber deen, Lord Lovat, Lord Harrington, Rord Harlech, the Countess of "War wick and Sir Richard Bulkeley. Welbeck Abbey is famous for the sub terranean passages and apartments I built by the Duke of Portland at a cost of 3,000,000 pounds in order to hide himself from observation by the out side Avorld. The abbey has an underground riding school 400 feet long, 106 feet wide and 50; feet high, capable of holding 10,000 persons. 1 There is a subterranean ballroom 158 feet long, ,63 feet wide and 21 feet high, the walls of which are hung with fa mous paintings. Both the riding school and the ball room are connected with the abbey by a series of tunnels. Others features are large subterran ean libraries and a tan brk course for galloping horses. It is a quarter of a mile long entirely covered in with glass. Altogether there are about 15 miles of tunnelling. TO OFFER SHIPS FOR SALE. Washington, Sept. 2. The nine ships temporarily allocated to the United States Mail Steamship Company will be offered for sale or charter in one lot as a "going concern," it was said at the Shipping Board Thursday night. Prospective purchasers will be required to establish their financial responsibil ity before their bids will be considered, an official of the board said. Washington, Sept. 2. The skies above Baku are once more illuminated by the eternal fires of the world's most famous oil region. Near the spot where Zoroastrian or Parsi priests guarded the sacred flames which burned for more than a score of centuries, eighteen modern wells are now ablaze, according to press dispatches. What this great natural waste means is brought out in the following bulletin from the Washington, D. C, headquar ters of the National Geographical So ciety. "If American relief work is inaugu rated in South Russia and if arrange ments can be made with the new gov ernments of the Caucasus, the race be tween charity and starvation may be run largely with Baku oil," says the bul letin. "Already the white nights oft north Russia, are Beginning to wane ana the ice which coats ;he Neva early in the fall will soon be creeping down the queen of Russian rivers and stopping transportation on the one life line of commerce upon which large scale relief work on the lower Volga can depend. FOOD MAY DEPEND ON FUEL "The iron rails of Russia have disin tegrated with neglect and traffic. The great Russian waterway will be open for at least two months more. And the fuel long used in the Volga steamers and tugs is petroleum and its by-products, principally masut, a thick resi due from the refineries. Fuel and food are intimately connected in any plan of Russian relief on the lower Volga and the wastage of petroleum in Baku is a matter of deep concern. "Before the time of the Saracens, Baku was noted for its natural gas and sacred fires. At Surakhani, where, from the days of Zoroaster to 1879, the colorless flames cf naptha gas were nev er extinguished, a temple of the fire- worshippers, built in the time of Mar co Polo and restored in the time of Shakespeare, can still be seen, although the lighting of naptha gas Is no longer allowed here or on the waters of the Caspian at Bibi Eybat. Fireworship pers on pilgrimmage to Baku in the days just proceeding the American Revolution had the tradition that the fires of Surakhani had begun to burn soon after the flood and that they would continue to burn until the end of the world. FIRE TEMPLES TO RICHES "When, in 636, A. D., the Arab hosts appeared in Persia and fire-worshippers became Moslems under the sword of the Prophet, large numbers of Zoroas trian!-: fled to India. Their great Tombs of Silence on the slopes of Mal abar hill in Bombay, where loathsome vultures await their gruesome oppor tunity as consumers of corpses, stand as present day reminders of political and religious forces which removed the Parsis from their ancestral homes and placed them in control of modern fi nance at tire gateway to India. "The modern city of Baku is a com bination of the new and the old, of the East and the West. Since the estab lishment of the Azerbaijan republic and the selection of Baku as its capital, some changes have been made. But in general, Baku is what it was before the war. "In the spring of 1918 there was sharp fighting between the Christians and the Tstars for control of th;i re gion. At this time a large part of the Tatar section was destroyed by shell lire from the Caspian. The romantic Kis-Kale or Virgin Tower, which tho Tatars used as an observation post still bears the marks of shell fire Which how ever failed to do serious damage to Byzantine walls. The ancient walls of the old Tattr citadel bear pook-mark lines which join the apertures in the battlements and which show where Russian and Armenian machine guns sprayed the ramparts and drove the Tatar fighters from their best points of vantage. Then came the British, with a small force from Enzeli. But they soon withdrew, leaving a badly mixed problem to find its own solutions. "The Baku oil fields in 1917, in the midst of war and revolution, produced nearly 50 million barrels of oil. But during trio winter of 1917-18, labor trou bles and the closing of the 540 mile pipe line to Batum on the Black Sea reduced the output. Political and so cial unrest have demoralized the oil industry which in Baku had reached a high degree of efficiency. FURNISH PEACE PRIZES "During the troubles in 1918, there were frequent threats by various fac tions that the wells of this famous re gion would be fired to keep them from falling under foreign control. "Baku was the field in which Alfred B. Nobel, already noted as the inventor of dynamite and for his success as a manufacturer of explosives, gained rhc fortune which cn his death was partly devoted to the establishment of the Peace Prize and the almost equally fa mous prizes for distinction in physical science, in chemistry, in medical science and in literary excellence. Theo dore Roosevelt, Eilhu Root and Wood row Wilson have; been recipients of the Peace Prize founded on profits from Baku oil. Other Americans who have been honored with Nobel prizes are Al bert Abraham Michelson, for his re sfarches in the velocity and qualities of light; Theodore W. Richards for his study of atomic theories, and Alexis Carrel, for his success in suturing blood vessels and in the transplantation oi human organs." Extra Specials FOR Escape the "Stout" Class An attractive figure is not a. matter of size but of correct proportions. Th stout wo men who are never spoken of as "st at" are those who give a little time and thought to proper corseting. Rengo Belt Reducing Corsets give the wearer an appearance of slenderness. The exclusive" Rengo Belt feature gives strength and support where the greatest atrain falls over the abdomen and hips. They have the reputation of being "the most economical reducing corsets ever devised.." Priced from $2 f $-19 J. B.
