AN effort is to be made in Germany
to bore for oil and natural gas. The
fact that Russia is one of the greatest
oil-producing countries in the world has
stimulated the hope that similar de-
posits may underlie the fatherland. 1t
is very agreeable to Americans to learn
that the tools and supplies necessary in
these tests have been ordered from the
United States With no desire to boast
it can be truthfully said that the con-
quests which American brains are max
ing abroad afford every reason for Amer
lean complaceney. The acquisition of
territory is idle pastime compared with
this growing intellectual supremacy.
