ITALIAN BIRDMAN HIT
BY ARABIAN'S BULLETS

Tripoli, Feb. 1.-While throwing
bombs from an aeroplane into an
Arab encampment near Tobruk, in
Cyrenaica, Captain Monte, an Italian
military airman,was severely wound
ed today.
Outposts Of the italian force at To-
bruk, which was occupied by the Ital-
ian expeditionary army, in October.
have been subjected recently to a
number of harassing attacks by the
Arabs, whose position and strength
were not known to the italian COM
mander.
Captain Monte today made a flight
with another military man VINO acted
as observer into the desert and dis
covered the Arab encampment. He
threw several bombs among the en-
emy, who responded with rifle fire.
The aeroplane was struck four times
by the Arab bullets, one of which hit
Captain Monte, wounding him severe
ly. He was, however, able to return
to camp with the assistance Of his
companion, and both landed safely,
bringing valuable information.

All the answers, with the exception

OIL PRICES ARE
BEING RAISED To
AID PRODUCTION
FIGURES HAVE BEEN ADVANCED
hfAREE TIMES SINCE STANDARD
OIL TRUST WAS DISSOLVED.
Cost of Operating Many Companies
Now Reason for Advance in Cost of
Gasoline and Kerosene Over Coun.
try-Pennsyivania Field Short.

New York, Feb. 1.-Prices of oil
have been going up steadily since the
dissolution of the oil trust by the de
cree of the United States supreme
court, and a representative of the
Standard Oil company said today that
they probably would go higher Three
times this year the Standard Oil COM
pany OF New Jersey has advanced the
price which it pays for crude oil, and
there has been corresponding increas-
es in the wholesale and retail quota
tions for kerosene, gasoline and 9TH
ers of the refined products.
Gasoline has risen cents a gallon
in the New York market. Automobile
dealers estimate the advance means
an increase of more than 100000 a
month in the cost of running the au-
LomoDlles in New York state.
Since the first of the year there has
been an advance of 2 cents a gallon
in the price established by the STAN
dard Oil company for petroleum oe-
livered by wagon to consumers in this
city.
Not only in New York, but efse-
where through the country have the
prices been raised.
The increased cost of conducting
the thirty three companies into which
the oil trust was divided, as compared
with the expenses of the compact or
ganization, which existed under the
old regime has been advanced as a
reason for the rise in prices.
According to ]. l. c. Clarke, the
mouthpiece of the Standard Oil COM
pany, this theory is not correct. Mr..
Clarke said that the higher prices
were due to economic conditions. The
Pennsylvania fields, he said, supply
the best crude oil, and as the output
of that product recently has been in
sufficient, the price of PENNSYLVANIA
has been advanced to stimulate pro-
duction.
Mr.. Clarke said that the quotation
would be raised until it reached a
point which restored the production in
the Pennsylvania field to required
basis.
