The attention of prospectors, min
ers and land owners is called to the
need of reporting finds of minerals
that may he of use for war purposes.
The government is making efforts to
list all occurrences of useful metals
and minerals, but unless men engaged

All reports should bo sent directly

Mines. University of Washington, Se

"At last we have found our way
clear financially to begin the great
task of redeeming Russia " said l’as-l
tor William Fetler of the Moody Bible
Institute of Chicago, who is now
training 100 men who will go with
him to Russia to take up the work
under the direction of an executive
hoard representing the various soci
eties.
"Russia, hungry for religion, Is like
a Vte-t Hold ready for planting. The
Greek church, more a police system
than a church, against whose power
four years ago all attacks were fu
'.,e. has been abolished, and Its prop
erty seized by the radicals. Russia
was more religious in the old days
than she is now. It was a religion,
however, that did not inspire or lib
erate. The present regime la without
religion.
"A coalition government is coming,
a democracy like the United States.
In a tew months, perhaps In Septette
I i- . U '■ t 'ilittion will begin to bear
genuine fruit, and the real leaders of
the people will go Into control. Then
will the Idg Russian, soul seek spir

In the religious campaign the Kng
lish language will be taught alongside
the Russian latlguagge. Castor Fuller
said, "for the Russians already realize
the high place your language now
takes in the world."
The late Gregory Rasputin, "the
evil genius of Russia." four years ago
brought about the exile to Siberia ”f
Castor Fetler for his gospel teachings,
but later the sentence was commuted
to "banishment abroad."
