WON'T send PROTEST
FOR STANDARD OIL
CABINET DECIDES NOT TO PRo-
TEST GERMAN on MONOP-
OILY BILL
believe II Only a Fight Brl"''h
American independent Concerns
and the standard oil

WASHINGTON, March l2.- Pres--
dent Wilson and his cabinet today had
before them the question of whether
or not a protest should be made to the
German government on behalf of TIN"
standard oil company which claims q
pending bill in the Ecichstag would
injure it's business in Germany
Indications at the conclusion Of the
meeting were that a protest made by
tho Taft administration would not he
renewed and that the Wilson admin
istration would refrain from laklh1
part in what 1t considers fight be
tw cen American independent oil con
Germs and the Standard Oil company
This subject has been one of diplo-
matte correspondence since October
1872, and a protest was made against
proposed legislation to give the Ger
man government an oil monopoly The
measure at one time appeared TO have
failed because Of international DIM
culties among banks which were to
finance the monopoly.
When the subject was revived un-
der the present administration Sec
retprv Iryan instructed American
ambassador Girard to inquire into the
matter. His first telegram was con-
strued by some as a protest but the
administration holds that it was not
and has refrained from pressing the
question With the German govern
mcnt.
According to information that
reached the cabinet here today the
fiII. though up for a third reading,
probably will not be passed until
April. While administration officials
are listening to arguments from bot
.hc standard oil company and indie
pendent American concerns, it IS be-
lievod there will be no protest and no
comment while the measure is pend
ing.
The situation as presented at the
cabinet meeting today is that the
United States produces so per cent :
the oil consumed In Germany and that
the Standard Oil company furnishes
nearly 65 per cent while independent
American companies send - per cent
Certain members Of the cabinet took
the position that the passage OF the
bill by Germany probably would not
decrease the amount Of oil imported
from the United states but might pos
siblv decrease the proportion which
the Standard oil company now furr-
ishes because it would adversely at-
feet the organization Of the Standard
for the delivery Of oil in Germany
Standard oil representatives clain.-
ID that DETERMINATIONS against tho
United states might be practiced af-
ter the bill became a law and that
Germany might go 20 Roumania and
other foreign fields for It's oil. Ad-
miristraton officials believe. howev-
cr, that when such determinations
arise there will be ample opportunity
10 protest.
Should any property he confiscated
or condemned as a result Of the new
bill. it is understood an arbitration
board to adjust claims has been ar
ranged for by Germany.

perhaps more men employed per auto

But they are producing more automo

TRUCKS WIN OUT

But none more interesting than that

in operation for several months before
tho rush came on. and had worked out

and two helpers were capable of deliv-
ering more merchandise than three
two horse wagons with driver and
helper for each, had ever been able to
get rid of before. The wisdom of our
plan was shown when the holiday
shopping began in earnest. For sew

that he would carry the county be-

Speaking about DR.. Brumbaugh Mr..
Leech said:
IF DR.. NJ. G. Brumbaugh will per-
nit the use of his name as a candidate
for governor, the people will do the
rest. The great army of school teach
ers, directors, and their friends
throughout the State, will rally solidly
to the support of the man who has
made good in every test. Republicans
are sick and tired of factionalism, it's
causes and results. Brumbaugh will
be acceptable to every element in the
Republican party. He will be his own
master, and no man or set of men can
swerve him from his duty. He is a
man of great ability and splendid
character; an invincible leader, and
will sweep the old Keystone State like
wild fire."
