From my conversation with him.

is strongly opposed to bureauc-
racy and everything standing be-

1t developed from my converse

that it is almost impossible to get
him to sign the death sentence of a
convicted spy.
Recently when the French storm

Argonne and were hurled back at
one point with an unusually heavy
loss. the crown prince offered the
French truce in order that they
might gather up their wounded

German trenches.
When l asked the crown prince
about the incident. he replied:
Yes. there were several hundred

CANADIANS SEARCH

Miles From Quebec.

OTTAWA, Ontario, Nov. GA secret
store OF arms and ammunition IS being
searched for on the isle Of Orleans in
the st. Lawrence river. just off Quebec.
a concrete base upon which a siege

COLORADO SSTR|KE
COMMISSION READY
Chairman Seth Low Prepared to
Open Negotiations to End
Mine Controversy.

President Wilson's new Colorado
strike commission. according to Seth
Low. Of New York. its chairman, Is
ready to begin negotiations for per-
manent settlement at once. He. and
his associates. Patrick Gilday, of Clear
field. Pa. and Charles w. Mills, of
Philadelphia, will arrange to meet at
once with the Colorado operators. Rep
resentatives OF the Department of La
Dor. now in Colorado, have been in
structed to confer with the operators to
plan the work of the new commission.
The President is confident of the
same success in settling the present
trouble as did that Of Colonel Roose-
Welt in the Pennsylvania anthracite con-
flict. He believes the commission Will
evolve plan of settlement that will
permit the reopening OF the mines ana
he withdrawal of the Federal troops.
1t is believed that the President viii
suggest a similar commission be crea-
ted by Congress to act in similar con-
troversies. The success of the Federal
mediation commission. which has set
led all railroad disputes without strike
since its inception. has convinced the
President that some such body should
be in existence to act IN other indus
tries. or that the Jurisdiction of the
present mediation board should be eX
tended to include all Industries con-
nected with interstate commerce.
Federal troops will remain in Colo
RADIO until the Low commission can
complete its efforts at reconciliation.
The President attitude is summed
up in his announcement creating the
commission:
/ hope that both parties may see
Il to be not merely to their own best
interest. but also a duty they owe to
the communities they serve, and 10
the nation itself, to make use of
this fundamentally of peace, and
render strife of the kind which has

TEXAS OIL AND GAS FIELDS
SHOWING PROGRESS

Petrolia, Tex, Feb. pa current
I report issued at Washington, d. c., re.
ceived here today, shows the activi-
ties in the Texas gas and oil fields
up 10 the present time, and according
to the bulletin a number of wells are
being sunk in various fields in this
State. The review of the amount of
work carried on in the Texas fields
shows that several wells have been
struck here recently. The latest dis
covery was on the Culberson tract,
when an oil well with a capacity of
200 barrels per day was brought in
Much drilling is in progress at the
Trickham fields and recent discov.
cries have caused the field to be ex-
tended for distance of fifteen miles.
A new gas we'll was brought in last
week at Bangs. The fact that gas
exists in this field has been proved.
but active drilling will be continued
in an effort TO locate oil. The fields
at Mexia are being developed at
rapid rate. Various oil concerns have
in progress the sinking of about half
a dozen wells, which, IL proven pro.
ductive, will greatly swell the output
at that field and lower the consumers
price to a minimum. The report
shows that several oil companies have
assigned men to the newly discovered
field at Baird, and it is expected that
a number of rich strikes will be made
within few months. The Moran field
is showing progress in both gas and
oil production. The late discoveries
at that place have renewed drilling
activities and about half dozen wells
are being bored. During the last few
weeks several new wells have been
brought in at the Electra field, and
others are being sunk
