saved by that Testament, knows it,
and he will always be grateful to
some unknown American Sunday
School boy, or it may be a girl, who
that Sunday back in America did his
bit toward the 1.300 000 Testaments
and Gospels which have gone to Eu
rope through the' co-operation of the
World's Sunday School Association
and the American and other Bible
agencies.
This new Testament was given him
at Dleulefit. the first camp 1B Dau

On January 10, 1917. he was carry

when a bullet from a machine gun
glanced from a tree or rock, struck
him on the breast and entered the

PRESSURE EXERTED
ON LEADING STOCKS
Steel, Coppers and Equipment Issues Fall One to Two
Points; Motors and Secondary Specialties
Make Fractional Recessions
By Associated Press
New York, Aug. 8 (Wall Street).
Leading stocks were under general
pressure at the active opening of to
day's market, steel coppers and equip
ment falling back one to two points.
Motors and secondary specialties made
fractional recessions, nut rails, Ma
rine pfd., and tobaccos scored sliKht
advances. Supporting orders In Unit
ed States Steel and the Inquiry for
transportation issues resulted in ma
terial rallies before the end of the
nrßt half hour.
The market movement became more
confusing later, steels losing addi
tional ground with otheV equipments,
while rails, springs and tobacco sub
stantially augmented early advances.
Bethlehem Steel, new stock, lost' 3%
and the old, 2%, with one to two-point
recession in associated issues, mo
tors and oils. Marine, Pfd., gained
1%, American International 2, United
Cigars 2, tobacco products 1%, and
I American Woolen 1. Coalers featured
the rise in rails. Liberty bonds ruled
at 99.52 to 99.60.

ROOT IS CONFIDENT
OVER RUSS SITUATION
[Continued lTom First Page.] ,
to receive Mr. Root and all the
members of the mission accom
panying him at 4 o'clock this after
noon. Later Mr. Root will see Sec
retary Lansing. It is expected that
Mr. Root will make a partial report
later. Much, if not all of It neces
sarily will be confidential.
The mission returned filled with
optimism over conditions in the new
Republic and the chances of Russia
doing her part to the end in the
great war.
Situation Hopeful
The chances that the United
Sta.tes will remain in the war to
the end and improved railroad
facilities were expressed by different i
members of the commission to be
among the outstanding needs of
Russia.
The situation is very hopeful Mr.
Root said, "America's entrance into
the war has had a good effect. The
morale of the Russian people is
good and altogether I should say
the outlook Is encouraging.
Charles Edward Russell, another
meml>er of the mission who re
cently withdrew from the Socialist
party in this country, declared
vigorously thpt the chief duty ot the
•United States is to convince the
Russian people that the United
States is In the war to the finish.
Need For Union
"I cannot emphasize too strongly,"
Mr. Russell said, "that this country
should present a united front. The
Russian people are not united nt
the present time but they are in
such a frame of mind that they
easily can be united if the American
people will convince them that this
nation stands solidly behind its
allies in this war and will not falter.
"The newspapers of the United
States have a great duty to perform
in presenting the situation in this
country as it really is. Talk of peace
at this time and arguments against
sending our boys to France is utter
rot. We must go through this war
to the end and our citizens might as
well make up their minds to that
effect. The slacker,, peace and home
guard talk has no place in this
situation at present.
Conditions Better
"I am greatly encouraged by con
ditions in Russia. They are becom
ing better all the time. Even dur
ing the four weeks that I was in
Petrograd I noticed a great change.
"I spent virtually all the time
with the workmen's council and
which Is really the government of
Russia and I know that the people
are gradually .getting behind the
government more strongly each day.
Of course they are a sentimental
and peculiar people but they are
anxious to make a fight for the right
and if we will do our share they
certainly will do theirs. The whole
question of the future of Russia
now lies with the United States."
James .Duncan, who represented
labor on the commission expressed
the opinion that the development
of the railroad facilities is the
great problem now facing the
Russian people.
TWO MOLARS WILL
GET YOU INTO ARMY
[Continned From First Page.]
I public having full knowledge of the
j reasons for exemption filed by each
! applicant there will be additional
I reasons for living strictly up to the
I letter of the law. However, there is
little danger of favoritism at all
events for from all quarters come
to headquarters requests for instruc
tions showing that the local hoards
are proceeding most carefully along
the tine of exemptions. None will
act without fullest instructions, and
even then the appeal must be taken
before the exemption -Is finally
granted.
No Widespread Exemptions
Adjutant General McCain to-day
advised the State Bureau of Med
ical Education and Licensure that it
is the idea of the government to use
drafted men according to their fit
ness and the needs of the service
and that no assurance can be given
that medical students drafted can
be furloughed at this time. This
letter was received in answer to the
resolution adopted by the Bureau 1
protesting against the drafting of
medical students or interruption of
their courses on the ground that
physicians are essential not only to
the army but to the nation at large
General McCain's letter is in part
as follows: "While exemptions of
medical students In Individual cases
may be possible, no positive asser
tion that all medical students will
be furloughed should be given at
this time. Drafted men who have
graduated In medicine may, if quali
fied for and needed In the medical
department, be assigned for duty
with that department and pro
moted according to their qualifica
tions. The idea is to utilize drafted
men according to their fitness and
the needs of the service. It is ex
pected that before long most of the
additional officers for draft forces
will be obtained from these forces.
