This cathedral. situated on Morning

the Protestant Episcopal diocese of
New York 10 be much the largest
church edifice in the Western Henis-
phere, and it is estimated that at
least 100 years will be required for
its completion.
As soon as the treaty of peace is
signed Bishop David ii. Greer and
Dean Howard Chandler Robins will
announce a plan for Incorporating in
the walls of the cathedral nave men,
Orials for Americans, who died in the
world war. Memorial tablets of stone
or metal viii be placed on the walls
of the nave. Relatives of soldiers
who desire such memorials will con.
tribute certain sums. and these con-
tributIons will be used TO finance a
large part of the construction.
Wealthy New Workers have conf
tributcd vast sums for the construc-
tion thus far completed. but only 4

With the exception OF the wheat
crop, which will be larger than that of

"orn, barley. oats, and beans will be
especially scarce.
The potato crop is estimated at l.

New York county over former years
were given out by George P. re Rrun,

pointed out that the efficiency of the

In 1910. a year prior TO the enactment
of the law, there were 1OS hornicides
and 133 suicides by shooting in New

the laws operation did not show any
marked decrease.
"A progressive decrease Is noted :"
