Of all European armies the gasoline

reached a prodigious figure.
Where are the embattled powers to
get the supply to keep them going,
since it is now evident that the war is
to be prolonged?
OF chem all. Russia alone possesses
large resources. BY far the greater
proportion of fuel oil and gasoline used
has been exported from the United
States. To a very large extent the
petrol that drove the thousands upon
thousands OF German automobiles in
the. advance in Belgium and France,
that drove the almost countless auto

supply of petroleum comes from the
United States. Gasoline is n product
OF petroleum, and, also. in a much less
degree, of natural gas. Processes of
making it have advanced further in the

What will happen to the contendinE
powers if the American supply Of fuel
oil and gasoline is shut of? Where are
they to get these essentials for the
conduct of modern war?
1t is a question that both military
men and scientists are asking. Their
opinion is that shortage already is
being felt in Europe. and particularly
in Germany. which has less chance than
any of the other nations to renew her
supply. How much Germany had stored

'.The sources of the worlds supply OF
oil and gas are clearly indicated IN
the table," said DIR. Day IN talk on
the subject.
* *
Great Britain, having failed to find
any material quantity of mineral oils
in her colonies, is dependent on other
nations for them, and primarily on the
United States, but she has exhibited
an appreciation of the necessity OF
stocks for war purposes and has laid
in a supply estimated at more than
five million barrels of oil, sufficient for
the fuel for her oil-burning naval
fleet for three years ordinary work
and one year under war conditions.
Further, the world sources are pretty
we'll open to her, so there is no I'M
minent danger of her failing to have
a sufficient supply of fuel oil for her
ships and of gasoline for her auto
mobiles and air machines.
France, like Great Britain, has no
domestic supply, but. like Great Brit
ain again. has the United States and
other large producers upon which to
draw.
Russia, as you will note in the table,
stands second in world production.
Whether she be stocked up with
reserve supply, she has the resources
upon which to draw. Under ordinary
circumstances she could very well sup
ply the needs of her allies, but under
war conditions, with the consequent
interruption of all industry. I doubt

After a season or two in the English

the hardest games of the season.

Handicapped by having only three days
in which to round the players into

still they are making the most of the
time. Last night Coach Harper put
his men through "A grinding drill and
tried out some new plays. He began
the drilling at $40 in the afternoon
and kept the men on the field until
the men could hardly see the ball.
This treatment was not enough and
when the players had 80 minutes for
supper he then took up the work in
the big gymnasium. The feature of
the gym. was signal drilling and then
a~chalk talk followed and the men
were left alone for the night. Coaches
promise even a harder drill today, for
Thursday morning the team will leave
for the east.
Notre Dame and the army are tie
as TO the number of men on the in
jured list All of the army men are
reporting for practice except McEwan
who received injuries early in the
season. Notre Danes man is Sam
Finegan, who was injured in the prac-

proved and was on the field last night
but did not take part in the practice.
Fans are hopeful that he will make
