LANE PERMITS GAS
TESTS IN WYOMING
Reserves Adjacent to Two Towns viii
Be Examined for Addiiolal
Supply.

Secretary Of the Interior Lane yester-
day announced to Senators Warren and
Clark and Representative Mondell Of Wy
oming. his willingness to modify certain
of the outstanding petroleum reserves in
Wyoming. in order to permit the munich
paKties Of Greybull and Basin. to test
the existence of a supply of natural gas
within these reserves.
1t has been represented to the Secre-
tary that the wells which now yield the
municipal supplies for these communities
have diminished in their production to
point where the cities are threatened
with a fuel famine; that the companies
which supply these cities with gas are
able and willing to make further tests
on public lands within the tributary gas
fields, but are prevented from SO doing
b. the fact that all lands in this local
ity prospectively valuable for oil and
gas. are embraced in petroleum reserves
created by Executive order under the
provisions of the withdrawal act.
The situation disclosed by petitions re-
ceived from the citizens of these locali-
ties Is unique In that these communities
being now fully equipped for natural gas
would suffer an actual loss II thu local
supply should fail and utilization Of the
gas at some future time would be i'm
possible.

DEFENSE
IS BIC PROBLEM
BEFORE BRITAIN
Three Different Factions in Eng
land Dispute as to Best Plan Of
Insuring Against Invasion.
BY PHILIP EVERETT.
5pecIaI Gable TO The American.

LONDON, July 12.-There was a
time when England, trusting her
proud, invincible navy, felt as safe
as II the whole country were protected
by a bombproof shelter. but NOWADAYS
the public mind is forever taken up
with deliberations of the question II
England really is capable Of resisting
any enemy and how the country may
best defend herself II the occasion
should arise.
England's political situation in the
world, Of course, is not so very bad.
With Justifiable pride we point to the
fact that the countryTs traditional
world policy is still triumphant time
and again, and at present England
hardly has a rival able to move his
arms so freely as England herself.
Britain Political Center.
We make the most of the fact that
the now ended war in the Balkans
at its finish moved the political cen
ter of gravity toward Great Britain. II
is also a fact that as far as diplomatic
success among the powers is con
cerned England emerged at least tenn
porarily an easy winner, whose states
men are still studying and observing
the remaining Balkan problems so as
70 get the greatest possible benefit
from them. That Sir Edward Grey
has proved himself diplomat of rank
even the most bitter opponents of the
present government willingly admit
But, in spite of all our diplomatic
successes and our growing political
prestige, we look with fear and appre-
hension at the rapid growth, not only
among the great powers, but also In
the smaller countries, OF navies, dir
igibles, aeroplanes and armies. We
ah..v - fAnv,
that this military and naval evolution
in other countries has created new
state of affairs, which makes It ride
ulous or even criminal to indulge in
the time dreams Of England's
safety and impregnabiltty
Nation Is Divided.
When the question arises how Eng
land is to be defended against a hos
tile attack, the people divide them
selves into three camps. The first OF
these consists of dwindly party OF
people who insist that England should
place her whole trust in her navy
This does not mean to say that the
English people have less confidence
in their navy than before, for this
is very far from being the case. but ii
is realized that with the evolution OF
the various arms Of attack the field OF
activity and usefulness OF the navy
has diminished.
The most numerous party In the
country consists Of those who place
their trust in intelligent cooperation
between the navy and the territorial
army. This view is held by the ad-
mlral- in chief of the navy. Prince
Louis Of Battenberg, who recently
openly declared that, unassisted, the
navy would not be able TO protect the
rountrv but that a we'll drilled army
was an absolute necessity.

LEAP INTO RHINE FALLS

special Gable to 7 ne American.
VIENNA. July IA l7-year- old
girl who tried to ComIati suicide by
springing from the bridge over the
famous Rhine Falls at SChaffhausen
was miraculously rescued.
She leaped right into the middle of
the great waterfall, where a mass Of
water thunders over an irregular
rocky ledge 80 feet high. Her body
was whirled down in a mass of foam
and reappeared on the south side OF
the falls. A fisherman saw her and
putting out in his boat, dragged the
unconscious girl from the water
Leaving his craft to the mercy of
the stream, he Immediately set about
resuscitauug the girl. The girl, who
did not receive a single scratch, is
said to be the only person who has
ever emerged from the Rhine Falls
alive.
