A terrible disaster has befallen the Ger

Hitherto no fatal accident had occurred to

THE COMING OF OIL.
By ALFRED STEAD.

1t is no exaggeration to say boldly that we
are standing on the threshold of the age Of oil,
The age of coal Is passing and the age Of
oil is succeeding it.
lii u few years people will be wondering
why coal was ever used in many of the ways
which seem natural to us tO-day-and this
because experience will have taught them
the advantage Of oil. Any prOpOsal then to
revert to coal would be secuted as preposte-
rou8.
The oil age is coming, not because the oil
producers want it or because the coal pro-
ducers do not want it, but simply because it
has to come. The age demands progress,
and there can be no question that oil spells
progress over coal. 1t is, perhaps, difficult
for people in Great Britain, the country of
coal, to realise clearly the coming Of oil and
the many advantages OF the change. But
go 10 u country without coal aud yet pos
sessing factories and growing Industries. On
is that country's salvation. Cheap coal III
Great Britain has been one of the great rea-
sons why oil fuel has not come to its own be-
fore low and yet it is the decision of the
British Admiral y which has definitely open
ed the doors of the new era.
We may take it as certain that the day Of
coal in the Navy has ended aud that the IN
termediate stage has arrived when OIL will
be used to ralse steam. How long we shall
be before the final stage is reached, when
steam disappears and Nil vessels are propell-
ed by the most economical Of methods, the
internal combustion propulsion engine, de-
ponds upon the science and Invention of the
constructors, who must devise and scheme
to secure u minimum of l,000-h.p. per cylin-
der. The little more, the minor details, these
are all that stand in the way.
Steam Without StOkers.
Pending the fnql' experiments, we may
assume that the British Navy will shortly be
burning altogether oil aud raising steam
without stokers. III Germany, The United
States, and japan there exist to-day many
warships burning exclusively oil. An oil
burning fleet needs never to run to harbour
to replenish its supply OF fuel. At all points
of the seas it can meet tramp oil carrier III
fact, it will be one of the most lucrative OF
businesses for neutral vessels during u naval
war to hang about with cargoe, of oil wait
ing a good sale chance. The warshlp comes
up to the tanker, passes q hawser over, aud
after that a flexible tube, through which the
new supply of oil flows into the warship's o.
tanks. This process can be continued while
both vessels are under way.
The question of the stokehold is of SUI
pIeme importance. An oll-6red vessel needs

The London press is Just discovering the
existence of an undesirable friction and COM
meut is various. The "Staudprd' deuounces
the suggestion that Sil Lionel Garden IS
ord Cowdruy's man, and thinks that the
United States is dispIeased because Presi-
dent Huprta reversed the late President Maa
dero's pro-American policy and reverted to
ex-President Porfrio Diaz's anti-foreign at
tituae, thus checking A uerican monopolls-
tic schemes. The "Graphic" thinks 1t mere
dible that Sir Lionel Garden is responsible
for the indiscretion in criticising the United
States policy, and says that England cannot
have Mexican interests worthy OF COMPARISON

Washington. The American Gov
eminent is confronted by what official
Washington regards as the most deli
cate situation in its relations with
Mexico that has yet developed since
armed revolution disturbed the peace
of the southern republic.
The official declaration by Manuel
Cara <Adalpe, Mexican Minister OF
Public obstruction, who is acting as.
Minister for Foreign Affairs, to the ef-
feet that John Lind, the Presidents
personal envoy, would be non grata
unless he brought credentials in due
form and was prepared to recognize
the Government of Mexico caused
decided stir.
The threatened rebuff from the
|HIuerta administration to the mission
Of Mr.. Lind, on the way to Mexico to
expound the hopes Of the United
States for suspension Of hostilities
and an orderly, constitutional election
in Mexico, drew from Senator Bacon.
chairman of the Foreign Relations
Committee, a declaration on the floor
of the Senate that the present situa-
ton was ''the gravest in years, much
graver than confronted us when the
Cuban question was here"
President Wilson was unmoved by
advices from Mexico City depicting
the Huerta Government as inimical to-
Mr.. Lind's mission. He let it be
known, too, that so far as he was able
to learn there was not the slightest
demand from the American people for
Intervention and declined to discuss
alternatives that might be used in
event the efforts of the American Gov
eminent to help restore peace in Mex,
leo were rejected
The President is confidently hope
full that peaceable solution of the
Mexican trouble can be effected. He
made it plain to callers that until adj
vised officially to the contrary he
would continue to regard as Incredible
the statements issued on behalf OF
President Huerta declaring Mr.. Lind's
presence in Mexico undesirable.
While there is little disposition to
doubt the veracity Of the news dis
patches describing the attitude of the
Huerta Government against Lind, hope
is entertained among Administration
officials that upon mature reflection no
such limitations will be formally con-
veyed to the Washington authorities.

PROPOSES RURAL
BANKING system
Fletcher introduces Bill In the
Senate.
TO MAKE G-TERM LOANS
Local and state National Rural Eants
and ! National Rural Bank TO
Loan Money TO Farmers
on Bonds or Notes.

washington. A national rural bank
ing system was proposed in bill by
Senator Fletcher, chairman Of the
American Commission on Rural
Credits and also of the Federal Com
mission on Rural Credits, appointed
BY the President.
The bill proposes a system of local
national rural banks, owned and oper-
ated by farmers; a state national rural
controlled by the local banks as stock
holders, and the National Rural Bank
of the United States, to be located in
washington, to be owned entirely by
the state rural banks.
To supervise the proposed chain OF
banks there would be created in the
Treasury Department division OF
rural banking under the direction Of
q rural banking board to consist OF
the Secretaries Of the Treasury, Agri-
culture and Labor The division would
be under the Immediate direction of a
director Of rural banking chosen by
the President.
The main purpose of the banks
would be to furnish funds to farmers
ON long term farm bonds or notes,
secured by liens on farms at not ex-
ceeding so per cent. Of their assessed
value Loans would be secured first
by local bank, then by state bank,
and last by the National Rural Bank of
the United States, and they would run
from 30 to so years The National
Rural Bank is designed to have CAPT
tai and surplus exceeding 100000, 600,
while the stock Of each local bank
would be limited to s2,O00,00O.
Senator Fletcher, speaking in the
Senate to urge immediate considera-
ton Of the measure by the Banking
Committee, and its passage at the
special session OF Congress, expressed
approval of the administration cur
rency bill as a commercial banking
bill, but said 1t would not meet the
needs of the agricultural communities
because OF the necessity for long-term
loans.
1T Is obvious" said Senator Fetch
or, that the only method OF furnish
ing capital for requirements Of the
farmer is the creation Of a long term
nrst mortgage bond, secured on his
land, which bond shall contain sink
ing fund provision, SO that an amount
shall be set aside each year to pay off
the bond when 1t natures. The farm
er's loans should run from 20 to so
years. No bank can loan money for
such length of time. The money
must be borrowed from the investing
public. Here is where special sys-
tenn of banking is needed which will
be authorized to use their credit IN
guaranteeing such bonds under re-
strictions which will reduce the risk
Of such guarantees to minimm."
