The weekly luncheon Of the
Chamber OF Commerce this noon

men who listened to nrst class talk
by VIII @. Steel. commissioner Of
Crater Lake national park.
Mr.. Steel only referred to the
park incidentally In speaking OF the
possibilities in the way OF an at
traction to tourists the Oregon caves
could be developed into. He told Of
his having visited those caves 20
years ago. and that his party wss the
first to take interior photographs OF
that marvellous natural wonder.
Mr.. Steel quickly branched from
local subjects onto a discussion Of
the war and its problems. He voic-
ed what he called the united opinion
OF "fellow republicans" in saying
that they we're all standing firmly
behind President Wilson, in the
prosecution OF the war. He quoted
Banker vanderlip OF New York who,
when questioned as to the details OF
some Of the governments expendi-
lures, said that this was not the
time for quibling over details but FOR
united front. standing squarely
behind those who for the time were
vested with power.

Steel. III you feel that IS thrift

Oregon's quota is $4,000 Of which

yesterday:
1T should be remembered. how
ever. that this completes Oregon's

means that the American Bible so
ciety will not make any further call
on Oregon for the special fund next
year.
Compared to other. war emer-
gency funds our requirements are
lvery modest. and yet NO Christian
will say 1t Is not as important as
some OF the more expensive emer-
gencies. In this connection II would
be well to correct misunderstand-
ing that seems to prevail.
Contrary to the usual belief. the

at the beginning of the war the y.

Testaments and could not get them
in the world on short notice So
ii turned to the American Bible so

SIN our 100 years OF service we
have distributed 125 100000 Of
Scripture in 200 languages Last
year alone the total output was
nearly 5000. 900. We print all
Scriptures without profit. and with
out note or comment thus serving all
denominations impartially.
I'VE began to furnish Bibles to
soldiers on large scale during the
Mexican war. over 10 years ago. Dur
ing the Civil war. we put $500, 900
volumes in the hands OF the boys In
blue and gray. The Spanish-Ameri-
can war found us active. When our
army went to Mexico recently our
Bibles went along. We have fur
nished the Russian army with half
a million Testaments in their own
Language during the present var.
We are printing the Scriptures in 50
different languages for the soldiers
alone. We are getting out large
edition in French English for the

enemy property in the United States
should be misunderstood But care
must be taken that the misunderstand-
ing is corrected as soon as possible.
arge numbers of resident aliens are
'w alarmed, fearing that their de-
posits in American banks, their per
onal belongings, and even their
homes, if they own them, will be con
fiseated by the government. There
Is no such intention.
The only unnaturalized aliens liable
TO such loss are those denominated
"alien enemies" A few have been
so stlgmatized, and are now in deten
