ENGISH PEERS
AN OXONIAN’S VIEWS
(United Press Association —By Electric Telegraph—Copyright).
(Received this day at 10.30. a.m.) LONDON, November 2'2.
The House of Lords is becoming rapidly Americanised through impecunious Peers being iorcod to mail,' heiresses, generally from the United States, to restore their fortunes, so an Oxonian, Dr F. 0. Schiller, told the Royal Society. He said this was expedient sometimes, but biologically was ruinous, as heiresses were often the last- effort of degenerated expiring stock. Dr Schiller suggested as a remedy that when the first holder of a peerage died, his children and grandchildren should meet to choose one whom they regarded as the worthiest successor.
