are now placed on them and obstacles are
placed In their way In defiance OF even
Turkish law. One thousand bibles and
other books. the circulation OF which was
officially authorized by the Porte, have
been confiscated by local officials. The

that have been arbitrarily closed. But
these laws affect Others besides Americans.
