Photo by Elite Studio, Bend. E. G. Crawford, newly elected presi dent of the Oregon Bankers' association, with other Portland bankers, returned this- morning from Bend, where the thir teenth annual convention of the asso ciation closed Saturday evening. "It was by far Ue most successful convention In the history of the State Bankers' association," said Mr. Craw ford, who Is vice president of the United States National bank. "Oregon bankers were united more closely in patriotic service thsfn ever before, and I am sure the harmonious cooporation evidenced at the convention will be reflected in one war drive after another during the year. "K was particularly impressed with the action taken by the association in offering its influence and membership in aid of the War Savings Stamp cam paign. When bankers ask their depos itors to buy War Savings Stamps they are asking them to reduce their depos its, and the bankers make the sales without profit and at their own expense. Therefore the enthusiasm with which the bankers of this state agreed to add their energy and support to the war savings campaign and to do all that they can to see that the remaining 114. 000,000 of Oregon's quota is subscribed by June 28, they are actuated by but one motive, and that is patriotic desire to help the government finance and win the war. I am sure that the policy of the association will be to press forward aggressively along the lines of patriotic service which were outlined, and to dren, has conferred with the heads of the Parent-Teacher associations of Portland, and these have agreed to see that the organisation is maintained throughout the summer. The showing made by the children in Portland thus far has been remarkable.

GEODES COMMENTS ON NEW RAID OFF AMERICA By Arthur E. Mann London. June 10. (U. P.) "It is too early yet to forecast what the presence of a German submarine off the Ameri can coast may portend," said Sir Eric Geddes, first lord- of the admiralty, in an interview with the United Press to day. ..x "On the one hand, it may be merely a sporadic raid similar to that carried out by the U-53 earlier in the war, or it may mean the beginning of a serious submarine campaign off the American coast. "The vigorous British anti-submarine campaign in our waters has made sub marines very costly to the Germans and perhaps they calculate on getting better results . along the American coast In this, however, they will undoubtedly be disappointed, since all our experience over here has been placed without reservation at the service of the Ameri can administration, which will thus be able to base its anti-submarine meas ures on practical results. ' "There Is no indication that there has been a sudden increase in the number of enemy submarines. On the contrary, there is no doubt we are sinking sub marines faster than the Germans are building them." , , Sir Eric pointed out that there is some advantage in forcing the subma rines to operate farther from the Ger man bases. "The longer they have to travel to reach the. operating sone, the less fuel and supplies they will have and consequently the less time they will have to spend in the operating sone," he said. f: i f Msy Have; Fel Tpot ;In reply to Question in regard- miiiiiiiiimiiiiiimiiiimiiiiiiiiiiiiiii Ih 5 tore Ooen . . . -. rt.:i.

I do not believe she Is of the much talked of giant submarine type, but is probably of a type with a long cruis ing and . operating radius." Sir Eric said it is possible the Ger mans might have been able to estab lish a fuel depot on the American coast at some isolated point, but he does not believe a submarine base has been established. "A submarine base means more than a fuel depot.' he said. "That includes a repair dock. After a submarine hasj been out for three weeks it usually needs overhauling. It is pretty diffi cult to establish such a base on a hostile coast. There would be much more chance of establishing it on a less carefully guarded neutral coast." Last Desperate Phase Geddes thought, it was difficult to say what classes of ships submarines would attack in future but believed any attacks on American troop trans ports would Inevitably rebound against Germany By increasing America's de termination and adding to the severity of her fighting. He-plainly Indicated his belief that ' this is the last des perate phase of German submarine piracy. It should not cause any ad ditional anxiety regarding the subma rine situation, he said, but should only cause a searching of their hearts by the German rMtnnl vhn Vi k..n tricked tnto believing the submarines wui win me war ror them. which it was committed at the Bend convention. "The hospitality of the stirring city of Bend was beyond measure. The bankers of Bend, the Commercial and Emblem clubs were prodigal with enter tainment, and their welcome was so generously sincere that every one of us will not only want to return, but will have a perpetually kindly feeling for the town. Particularly impressive and delightful was the Emblem club banquet Saturday evening. It was a great benefit o the bank ers to get out Into the Central Oregon country and to see for themselves the unlimited resources In timber and agri culture which we have heard talked about a long time, but the extent of which no man could realise without going to see for himself. I know that a number of the bankers have returned convinced that we must keep In closer and more cooperative touch with the constructive enterprises of that great empire."

Wells, chief of the United States weath er bureau in Portland. W. P. Beach of Seattle tells of the discovery of a red spot directly above the moon when that body totally eclipsed the sun on Satur day afternoon. The spot, so far as Mr. Wells has been able to determine. Is a mystery. His informant watched the eclipse from near Chehalis, W ash. .x and confirmed his finding by several wit nesses, he declares. "This tiny red spot of flame was vis ible above the moon entirely through the period of totality," the letter, re ceived this morning, says. The writer submitted a diagram giving the location of the peculiar spot. Mr.' Beach adds a note as to the peculiar appearance of grass and bushes near Chehalis during the period of totality. Their color was Also Seen ia Europe London, June 10. (I. N. 8.) A new star of the first magnitude In the Con stellation of Aqulla has been discovered by Professor Felix DeRoy, secretary to the Antwerp Astronomical society, the Daily News announces. HARDY RECEPTION SET FOR TONIGHT Japanese Consul Will Participate in Program to Be Held at (Auditorium. II "lrf .'a lew va Al MMI I'AllvL III nLLiLU UnUOL I U -v win oo nnifnu .fill, OiHlO DltllUll Present Moment Most Grave of War; U. S. Soldiers Looked Upon With Confidence. Preparations have been completed for the pubftc reception being tendered To "Commodore" W H. Hardy at The Audi torium tonight. Invitations have been sent to the Jap anese ambassador at Washington, to the sretary of the United States navy and to other prominent government officials. The new Japanese consul. M. Shlgemitsu. and representative Japanese residents of Portland will participate. Governor Wlthycombe. officers of the army and navy and various city officials will be present. Members of Scout Toung camp, Spanish War Veterans, will act as ushers. Music on the organ will be fur nished by W. R. Boone. No admission is charged. t Mr. Hardy recently returned from a mission to Japan, during w4iich he trav eled many thousands of miles through the country and spoke before more than 500.000 people at public meetings. He will tell the story of two visits to Japan at tonight's reception. The first visit was with the expedition of Commodore Perry In 1852. when Japan' entered upon negotiation of a trade treaty with the United States. The second visit, from which Mr. Hardy recently returned, was made In response to an invitation of the Japanese people. Mr. Hardy passed through many won derful experiences while In Japan and brings a patriotic message from the Japanese nation to the people of the United States. London, June 10. (L N. S.) "One of the permanent results of this war. Is that Great Britain and the United States wilt never again misunderstand one another." declared Attorney General Sir Frederick K. Smith, in an address at the Palace theatre on Sunday nlxbt preliminary to a concert given for Ameri can soldiers and sailers. The Ameri cans were fervently Invited "to accept England as their blighty." (Blighty Is the British army slang for home.) "The heart and courage of Great Bri tain today beat as high as la August, Hit," continued Sir Frederick. "When you know France as well as us you will write home to America the same message regarding your unconquerable ally. However, without Inexhaustible American soldiers, the enemy's prepon derance of numbers would' have smoth eied for centuries and perhsps for all time, our civilisation. History shews that the gravest mistake any nation ever made, was to forbid the great American people the Ught to sail the Atlantic except with boats painted with the German colors. "Of all the moments of the war none gave more anxiety than those we face today. We will face weeks and maybe months of It. "But we win go through, as Premier Clemenceau said, first, be cause we have supreme confidence In our cause ; and second, because of the Inter confidence of the allies. The same great weapon which broke Napoleon stlU exists and, coupled with American mobi lisation, will vindicate right. The Eng lish, knowing your history, especially that of the Civil war, do not under estimate American valor."

Toran of Eugene, grand high priest, presided, assisted by a full staff of officers and representatives from ST local chapters. The convocation will close Its labors this evening. Halg Repulses .
