on the 1919 apple harvest are al eOnsid-
+erable variance. While most growers
are prone 10 aecept?the government
eslnate placing the tonnage al the

say that the yield viii fall below the

declared, will be lighter than antiei-
pated. Growers aad shippers who
agree with the government estimate
say that the districts in which the fruit
appears hight are merely emphas ,zed
by the enormous crops found in other
districts L. the latter districts. It Is
SAID, half OF more Of the apples will
have TO be thinr ed away. Indeed, il Is
declared that growers whose crops ap-
pear light are the fortunate ones in
that they will be relieved Of the ex-
pense Of thinning. Orchards are de-
clared IN mofe healthful conditions
than in any former year Fertilization
from cover crops and the application of
nitrate OF soda is expected to result in

KEYNOTE OF METHODIST
CENTENARY
Or. S. Earl Taylor

The world cannot be recon.
structed by formula No mere
agreement among diplomats can
hes the wounds Of war. No
international constitution, how.
ever perfect in its phrasng, and
no mere economic revolution,
however sweeping in its scope,
can bring about the universal
reign Of peace and good will
among men. Such a peace is
the fundamental aspiration Of
every human heart, but it cannot
be realized through government,
and il cannot be realized through
law alone. World democracy can
and will be realized only through
the practical application of the
religion Of Jesus, and nothing
but faithIessness on the part Of
the Christian Church need delay
its realization now"

GUESTS
OF LONDON TOWN
DURING JUBILEE

London, Dec. Correspond
ence of The Associated Press)-
Seven hundred American blue
jackets were nightly the guests of
the people of London, after the ar
mistice was signed and they could
be spared from the duty of chasing
submarines for a look at the city.
The hotels were so crowded that
the only bedroom the city could Of
fer the sailor boys was some vault
ed hall in a public building. The
favOrite sleeping place was the
handsome building known as the
Law Courts where the Strand joins

Here, as the Chronicle described il.
Uncle Sam tucked himself to sleep
in the great hall
II was a strange picture these
sailor lads made, lying cOmfortab-

But they were not impressed with
the dignity of their surroundings
One corner they dubbed the "di-
vorce court One of their more
dignified members they dubbed the
lord chief Justice" Laughing and
Joking they made the great building
ring with their fun.

mates as they ate their breakfast
And the rest agreed.
The arrangement was made By
order OF the lord chancellor. who

rendered the use of the law courts.
Cards were hastily printed. and dis
patched to the stations where the
sailors were expected to leave their
trains. Each card clearly explain
ed how the law courts could be
reached, and in addition, told the
story OF the building from the time
the cornerstone was laid. AS the
sailors entered. each man was told
to sign the register, with his home
address, and it is the purpose of
the officers to have these registers
bound and placed among the arch
ives of the law courts.
The movement for the entertain
ment Of the Americans also incIud-
ed the use Of Westminster hall in
the parliament building if it be
came necessary.

and also short stretches on Fiji
teenth, Nineteenth and Eighteenth
avenues. This job involves an ex-
penditure of approximately 100000.
The city attempted to compel the
Tri-city Railway company to extend
the Fourth avenue car line on
Twenty-seventh street, but the city
was overruled by the public utili-
ties commission on grounds that
the national war industries board
was against such improvements.
The utilities commission stated,
though, that it would be in favor of
the Improvement when the war was
over.
Now that all building and i'm.
provement restrictions are removed
the city will endeavor 10 get the
extension. This section of the city
runs through the heart of the gov
eminent site. If the extension is
had, paving of the street will fol-
low. 1t is probable that when these
matters are Strengthened the gov
eminent will begin the paving of
streets in the housing site.
