BIBLE Distribution
DECREASED BY WAR

One of the results of the war has
been to cause a considerable shrink
age in the number of Bibles printed
and distributed in Europe during the
last year On this side of the Allan
tic the Bible manufacturing indus
try has. held its own, however, and
the American Bible society, which is
preparing to celebrate the centennial
of its founding next year, is said to be
I'M q more fIourishing condition than
This Sunday, the second in Adj
vent, is observed as Bible day by all
, the Episcopal, churches throughout
the world: and, at the instance of the
Bible ~secietie4 the official bodies of
nearly every denomination represent
ed in America have recommended a
recognition of the day.
1t is estimated that from twenty
five to twenty eight millions of copies
of the Bible, and of books containing
portions of the Holy Scriptures, are
printed each year OF these about
one-ha1f are printed in English. while
the remainder are in about 500 differ
ent languages. The English speaking
peoples are thusl more given to per-
using the Scriptures than those using
any other tongue.
Great Britain and the United States
lead in the printing and Circulation of
Bibles. About third of the total
number of Bibles circulated come
from private publishing plants and
thew arious Bible Societies publish the
remainder. The British and Foreign
Bible society, which has it's headquar-
ters in London and it's agents all over
the world, has issued more COPIES
than any other single organisation
Since its organizations in 1904 this So
ciety has published and> distributed
about>2 z 5. 900. 900 volumes
Standing second to the British So
gciety Is the American Bible society,
which will pass the century mark of
its existence next Spring. This orga-
nization, founded in 1915 to encourage
a wider circulation of the Scriptures
buted well over a hundred million
copies OF the Bible, and each year
adds more than five millions of copies
to tn output.
There are in existence today about
40 TRANSACTIONS of the entire Bible,
while partial TRANSACTIONS into minor
tongues and dialects bring the total to
about 500. The American Bible So
ciety has translated the Scriptures
into the tongues of many Of the tribes
of the American Indians, while the
British and Foreign society has car
Iied translations to the pagan tribes
of Africa and Asia and the utternost
islands of the seas. The American
and Foreign Bible society, the Penn
syIvania. Bible society, the New York
Bible society, the American Bible
Union, and other organizations of
similar character, have aided in the
work

RECEIVES S4.S7
 BUYS AT $4.50
Exchange is Regulated by Postal Conventions, But United States May Buy in Open Market at Pre- vailing Rates
ASSOCIATED PRESS DIsPArcHJ

WASHINGTON. Sept. 1.-The Unit ed States government is making a handsome profit on international pos tai money orders as a result of the prevailing low exchange rates on foreign currency in the American markets. Third Assistant Postmaster General Dockery said tonight that the business is particularly profit able now with practically all the bel hCerent nations with whom orders are being exchanged.
 He said that the postoffices are selling many more orders than they are cashing. He explained that while the English pound exchange was re gulated by postal conventions be- tween the United States and Great Britain so it could not decline be- low S4.S7. the government could pur- chase exchange in the open market today for S4.50. and transmit it. to England to redeem postal orders for which S4.S7 had been received here thereby netting a profit of nearly 37 cents on each pound
 When war was declared and many Americans were stranded in Europe the situation was just the reverse The United States then lost heavily on international money orders.

ASSOCIATED PRESS DISPATCH

WASHINGTON, Sept. Rear Ad- miral Pullman has been relieved of the assignment to the United States naval academy, and will be succeeded by Captain E,berle now commander at Washington navy yard, and Sup erintendent of the naval gun factory. Admiral Fullam will succeed Rear Admiral Pond in command of the Pacific reserve fleet at Puget Sound, the latter being ordered to Ports mouth N. Ill., to be commander of the yard there. No reasons were given in the departments announce ment for the changes.
 While Acting Secretary Roosevelt issued the orders for the new as
 signments he acted under the direc- ton of Secretary Daniels, who is on tour of inspection of the Atlantic naval stations. Admiral Fullam was detailed as superintendent of the academy on February ', 1914. His action last spring in recommending the dismissal of seven midshipmen | for irregularities at examinations led Ito an investigation by board of | inquiry attended by revelations con corning the widespread use of so- called dope" at examinations.

Two More Bodies Found by Men Engaged in Clear ing Hull of Submarine Sunk in Harbor of Hono- lulu

By Discovery of Officer s Cap Near Remains, the Searchers Believe Body of Commander of Diving Craft Has Been Found
ASSOCIATED PRESS DIsPATCHl

HONOLULU, Sept. 1.-Two more bodies were found today by the men engaged in clearing the hull of the Submarine F-4 One of them is be- lieved by Lieutenant Crittenden to be either the remains of Lieutenant Ede, commander of the diver, or Ensign Parker. It was the discover3 of an officers cap which was near the remains found in the after part of the battery compartment that led to the belief that one of the bodies was that of an officer. The insigngia on the cap is gone and naval au- thorities express doubt that positive identification will be possible.
 The work of uncovering the en- tangled bones and decomposed frag- ments of bodies progresses slowly. A note book was found containing a few notes but they were not leg ible It contained the records of the submarines battery, according to Lieutenant Crittenden, member ot the naval board of inquiry. Fresh air was forced into the forward com partment of the submarine to facili- tate the work there.

Strained Relations Between the United States and Germany Over Submarine Warfare Apparently Goes into History
INFORMATION IS
 SENT IN WRITING
Everywhere in Official Cir cles There is Visible Re- taxation of Tension Which Has Existed Since Lusita- mia Was Sunk
ASSOCIATED PRESS D1sPArcHl

WASHINGTON, Sept. l. - The strained relations between the United States and Germany over the sub marine warfare apparently passed in to history after Count Von Bernstorff the German ambassador informed Secretary Lansing in writing that prior to the sinking of the Arabic his government had decided that it's submarines should sink no more liners without warning. Secretary Lansing said in a formal statement that the Ambassadors letter ap pears as a recognition of the funda mental principles for which we have contended" He immediately sent the communication to the White House and discussed it in a cheerful vein.
 oral assurances had been given by the ambassador last week. But it was not until Count von Bernstorff, after a call at the state department returned to the embassy and sent a letter to Secretary Lansing quoting lis instructions from Berlin concern ing the answer to be made to the last American note on the sinking ot the Lusitania that officials frankly admitted their qualification over the changed position of the Imperial gov ernment Everywhere in admins tion circles there was a visible re- taxation of the tension which had existed ever since the Lusitania tragedy, though lcssened by earlier assurances from Count von Berns- torff and advices from Ambassador Gerard as to the attitude of officials in Berlin.
 The next step, it was stated au- thoritatively. will be a formal com munication from the German gov ernment disavowing the destruction of the Arabic and rendering regret. and reparation for the American lives

 Foreign Exchange Rates Play Fast and Loose i'll Checker Board Moves Over Lowest Values Ever Reached Here
 POUND STERLING
 QUOTED AT $4.50 Entire Market in Convul- sions During Day, AL though Tendency Toward Hysteria is Lessened To- ward Close of Session
ASSOCIATED PRESS D1sPATcHl

NEW YORK, Sept 1.-Foreign ex- change rates, led by the English pound sterling, played fast and loose in check CT board moves over the lowest values ever reached in this country. From the extreme depression of $4.50 at the op- ening of the market, sterling made it's faltering way by leaps and falls to S45515 late in the afternoon and fell back at the days end to $454. The entire market was in convulsions throughout the day although the ten dency toward hysteria was lessened toward the close. Leading bankers however, were inclined to be calm.
 One foreign exchange expert assert ed tonight that he doubted if ten thou sand pound sterling had been bought in this market today The widely di- vergent quotations at the opening and close he ascribed purely to speculators This view, however, was not generally accepted as there are indications that there mas been large dealings in small amounts after sterling was strength ened to $4.52. For means not seen on the surface optimism was more appar- ent tonight than an analysis of the sit nation seemed to warrant
 A persistent report prevailed that re- lief is in sight. It is said a delegation of British financiers and treasury of ficials sent here to mend England's battered credits is almost within sight of land. The blue pencil of the cen sor had crossed out all the news from abroad of their sailing for New York, but it is thought possible they will ce found aboard the lines St. Paul due to dock here tomorrow.
 It was assumed tonight that the con- templated English credit loan to be es- tablished will be of such proportions that it will be a national rather than New York affair.
 A study of the exchange brought to light unusual developments. Not the least of these was the discovery that of all the American institutions sending money to foreign countries or receiving it from abroad, the United States gov ernment alone could not profit by the loan rates, al least as far as interna- tional money orders, issued by the post office department are concerned. While the English pound is selling in Wall street at $4.5G, the postoffice, several
