"The greatest of the earthly rulers of
man is Abdul Hamid. who excels in
glory all former Ottoman rulers. Tae
more the years pass the greater be-
comes the affection of hosts of peoples
for him. When a reign is so benef-
cent, when the well-being of the pop
ulation is so dear to the rulers heart,
the future seems full of promise" OF
course this glowing eulogy upon his
imperial highness could only emanate
from under the banner of the Turk. In
fact it is credited to the Constantino-
pie Servet. Hence there will be no
immediate necessity for revising our
former bad opinion of the sultan,
whom the civilized world has held to
be more or less directly responsj bic
for some of the most horrible atrocit ties
in history.

MUCH ACTIVITY AND
HIGH PRICES IN OIL
Indiana Field Has Kept Pace with
All Others in Increase of Op-
erations and Product.
WORK IN THE COUNTIES

Special to the indianapolis Journal.
MONTPELIER. Ind. Jan. 1.-The year
Just closed was by far the greatest for oil
operations In the history of Indiana and
Ohio. While the number OF wells drilled
was the largest. the dry holes were not so
numerous as IN several years previous. The
production is a little less than in 1907. Inc
general average Of the wells completed was
Is % barrels. In the two States there was,
in round figures, 100000 spent in new
work. At an average estimate of 5000 per
complete well the outlay for drilling and
rigging for pumping would be SLOCo,oO.
During the year the market price of oil in
the two States has not been below 81 and
the year closed with the quotation at $1.31.
During the year 1928 wells were completed
In this State. of which 524 were busters. or
gas wells. The daily production of the
producers was 81, $50 barrels. In Ohio 4.265
wells were completed, of which number S6
were dry holes The daily production OF
the Buckeye wells was 51,525 barrels.
Drilling for oil has been going on in this
State for the past sixteen years. and II is
estimated that S0.O0O,000 has been spent in
ndian since oil was first discovered. NO
new fields have been found during the year
that amounted to much, but the largest
part OF the Delaware, Allen and Princeton
helds were opened during the year. The
Birdseye, Delphi and NobleSville pools DO
not cut much figure.
Grant county. which is practically a new
field. except the Van Buren, district. leads
the work Of the State with 1889 completed
wells, which started on with a production
OF H.510 barrels. There were 103 disappoint-
ments In the way of dry holes in this coun-
ty. The Wells county field furnished I4S
wells, with a production of 1910 barrels.

Car Sheds in Sleeper.
PREDICTS GREAT WAR

Lieut.. Gen. Nelson A. Miles dressed for
the first time in the new year IN Indianapo-

passenger on Vandalia train No. IA. from
st. Louis, and awoke and dressed IN his
sleeper while IL waited in the Union Sta
tion for a mail tarin. to which it was at
tached for the rest of its journey eastward.
No one in indianapolis was on the spot to
wish him a happy new year, because no one
knew of his presence in the city.
At Richmond General Miles waited for
some time while changing cars for Cincin-
natl. In answer to the questions of a re-
porter General Miles predicted that the

years greatest wars, in which the two
combatants will be Russia and Japan, and

volved. He stated that he did not believe
that this country would be involved in the
war. as 1t has too much at stake financial
ly and commercially. He refused to answer
a question as TO the attacks on Secretary
Root, and as to his possible candidacy for
the Democratic nomination for President.
