u. S. AID OFFERED
TO APPLE GROWERS
Department Of Agriculture Office
in Berlin Will Advise Ship
pers of Market.
Correspondence Of the Associated Press

Correspondence Of the Associated Press.
BERLIN, January 26.-when the
apple growers of northern New York
or of the far Northwest want to
know when, where, and in how great
quantities 1t Is advisable to ship
their product to Germany. they will
hereafter be able to obtain accurate
advice from the Department of
Agriculture at Washington, or from
it's Berlin office at Ga Pariser Platz.
They will thereby avoid the situa-
tion that obtained with reference to
the 1924 crop. Relying upon the ad-
vice of European brokers. the apple
growers shipped large quantities of
apples to Germany in September and
October. These shipments arrived
about the time that apples from
Czechos1ovakia, Austria and France
poured in, and German apples still
further helped to glut the market.
The result was a loss to apple grow
ers all around.
No Spring supply.
This concentration Of shipments in
the late Autumn has meant also that
in March and April Germany will
have practically no apples. The
European varieties won't keep so
long. 1t seems, and no provision .has
been made for American apples to
be shipped. Apparently nobody has
ever made it his business to supply
the American apple growers with au-
thentic Information, and the Depart
ment of AgricultUre's foreign service
proposes to remedy this defect.
With this in view. an expert on
apples Is making a careful survey of
European apple growing. He is
visiting the apple centers and is or
ganizIng an information service by
which American growers will next
year know exactly how good and
ample the European crop Is, when
and where it Is being moved. and at
what time and In what quantities
American growers can hope best to
dispose of their export product

REFUGE FOR EXTREMES
OFFERED IN PORTUGAL
Communists and Banished Princes
Alike Find Haven in
Sunny Cline.
Of the Associated Press

Correspondence of the Associat ted Press
LISBON. January l3.-The Portu
guese republic is in a fair way of
becoming complacent land of refuge
for the Communist who has no coun-
try and the royal prince who has no
home. Driven out from other coun-
tries OF Europe. these wanderers seem
to head for Portugal. on the western
edge of Europe, and cause trouble
for the Lisbon police. There is no
no other state to which they can be
passed along. and vessels dropping
anchor in the Tagus do not seem to
want them as passengers
Some of the Communists travel like
princes. and there is here today one
prince in particular who looks like a
shabby suspect. Hotel porters are
sometimes at a loss whether to ad-
dress a new guest as your highness'
or simply "comrade."
The followers of Communism. un-
der the influence Of the warm Portu-
guese weather, often assume the mild
and satisfied air of people who are
taking the rest cure. AS for the
prince, a relative Of the King OF Spai in
who recently was driven out of
France, this man stalks about moodily
and bemoans his banishment from the
pleasures OF Montmartre.

CHINESE GETTING HOLD
ON TAHlTE ISLAND
Steady immigration Rapidly Push
ing Natives OF of Their
Holdings.

Correspondence Of the Associated Press
PAPEETE, Tahiti, January 15.-It
seems to be increasingly evident that
the destiny Of these islands is to be-
como Chinese in the not distant
future. A steady immigration from
China, together with a heavy birth
rate among those already in the
colony, indicates an early preponder-
Ance Of Chinese over the remnants Of
the native race.
Gradually but surely native lands
are passing to Chinese ownership. The
vanilla industry is already under their
control. 1t Is only a matter Of time,
In tho opinion OF all observers, when
tho whole commerce Of the colony
will be theirs.
