METHODISTS NEAR
S1Ol5,OOO,OOOGOAL

Methodist Episcopal churches here
are making a finaI squirt today to put
the Washington district "over the
top" in the centenary drive to raise
$105, 900, 900. When services started
this morning. it was announced tnat
the district lacked only about $4,000
OF its quota of 100000, and conf
dence was expressed that this amount
would be raised during the day.
In their sermons this morning pas
tors appealed to their congregations
to give to the utmost limit of their
ability, explaining the enormous
campaign OF world service that is to
belaunched with funds secured from
the drive. This afternoon teams of
solicitors will wind up their house
toulouse canvass OF Methodists in
quest OF subscriptions. Most of the
churches tonight will hold jubilee
services in celebration OF the sue
cess OF the drive, which seems as
sured.
Teams Of volunteer Minute Men"
today are securing the rural sections
OF nearby Maryland in search Of sub
scriptions. Because of the lack OF
solicitors and the extent of the ter
rItory to be covered, these sections
were not thoroughly canvassed dur
ing the week. These volunteer work
ers also are assisting at local
churches which have not yet raised
their quota
The latest report on the progress
of the national campaign was issued
Friday night, when $1O.293,197 was
reopTted to have been raised. Since
that time, however. many millions
have been subscribed. and Bishop w.
F. Mcdowell. resident bishop, believes
that the country will go ''over the
top" by midnight.

country twice a year to meet the big
American importers. Instead Of be-
ing able to transact. his business in d
few days, as in previous years, he was
detained six weeks before he was able
to choose anything like an adequate
supply.
1T is remarkable how short the
market is" said he, and how rapidly
prices are advancing on the better
class of stones. Some of the biggest
cutters in the world, who usually have
millions of dollars worth Of splendid
gems to show their customers, have
practically nothing this year"
Perhaps it is the way of the world,
but no sooner was the scarcity Of fine
diamonds apparent than the public
began to demand diamonds more than
ever, until today the clamor is I'M

mine whether the price is a fair one.
To do this it calls upon the United
Grain Growers Securities Company,
which is the cooperative farmers
organization for appraising land. If
the appraised price is satisfactory to
all parties to the deal, the board pays
the value of the land and retains a
mortgage on it in favor of the gov
eminent.
The soldier usually gets his farm
implements through the cooperative
farmers. He gets the best implements
at the lowest prices in this way. This
account is also settled by the board.
The board has offices in many cities.
The Winnipeg office is one OF the
busiest. Every day more than a hun
dred soldiers are at the boards head
quarters to arrange for farms. The
government advances as much as
$4,000 to the individual soldier.

In regard to the German request
for complete reciprocity, the repre-
sentatives of the allied and associated
powers have to state that they felt it
necessary to include Article 222 in
view of the treatment which their own
nationals have received while intern
ed in Germany during the war As
there was no parallel between the
reatment which was accorded to pris-
oners of war by the German govern
ment. on the one side, and the allied
and associated powers on the other. no
claim for reciprocity in this respect
can arise.
TN regard to the third question, the
representatives of the allied and asso-
ciated powers are ready to do every
thing possible to repatriate German
prisoners OF war and interned civilians
properly fed and in good condition aft
er the conclusion Of peace. They re-
gret, however that the present de-
mands on them from the territories re-
Gently liberated from the German yoke,
as we'll as from their own nationals
will probably make it impossible for
them to supply the prisoners of war

Finally, in regard to the appoint
ment of a commission to deal with the
repatriation of prisoners of war, the
representatives of the allied and as
ISOLATED powers will be glad to set up
such commissions Immediately upon
the signature of peact. They regret,
however, that they do not see their
way to appointment them until they
