New OrleanS.-BecauSe vessels now
in the harbor are tied up on account
OF the war situation in Europe an en-
barge on shipment of grain to New
Orleans was declared by the Texas
& Pacific railroad. 1t is probable that
similar action will be taken by the
llllonis Central. Amos j. Porterfield,
superintendent, said he was hopeful
some plan would be devised at meet
ing of bankers and exporters to be held
in New York by which foreign en-
change could be bought and the grain
moved. 1t is stated in railroad and
shipping circles that more than $780,
900 bushels of grain is tied up in local
elevators and that 1000 cars of freight
for export now longest the local ter
minal tracks. E. F. Kearney, first
vice president of the Texas & Pacific
in statement said:
AT our terminals at Westwego we
have 961, 900 bushels of grain in the
elevators and in addition have 1,O0O,-
600 bushels en- route there. There
are enough vessel now in the harbor
booked to Westwego to move the grain
in our elevators but the vessels are
tied up as foreign exchange is too
high to buy and dealing in grain from
Europe is paralyzed as consequence"

PARKER CALLED
TO WASHINGTON
PROMINENT IOUISIANIAN WILL
AID IN NATIONAL COTTON
CONFERENCES.
Western Newspaper Union News Service.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
New Orleans.-John NJ. Parker has
gone to Washington to do work for
the cotton interests in securing Fed
eral aid for the marketing and financ-
ing off the cotton crop.
Mr.. Watson of the Southern Cotton
Congress wired Tuesday that he and
Senator Smith desired that Mr.. Parker
serve on the preliminary committee
on conference with the Federal Of
ficials on the cotton situation.
Il am going to this conference" said
Mr.. Parker, because | believe this
matter means more to the welfare of
the cotton and agricultural interests
than anything that can happen, and
am satisfied that the government will
go as far as ii possible can in order
to enable our agricultural people to
realize full value for their product,
so they will not be compelled to sell
on panicky market at war prices.
MY belief is that no exchange in
this country should open until bust
ness conditions fully warrant, because
deluge of European securities will
be disastrous, and the course of the
future market, with plenty of sellers
and but few buyers, would mean al
mist financial ruin.
The farmers should unite with the
money powers and the transportation
lines TO avoid forcing upon the market
an enormous amount of our agri-
cultural products at one time. Every
cotton planter who can possibly do
so, should carry his cotton in his cot
ton house as long as possible. To
gin now means the sacrifice of cot
ton seed, which represents approx
mately IL cents a pound of the value
of the cotton, and today, with 10 pos
sibility of exporting cottonseed oil and
cotton seed products, the price to the
planter would be nominal.
"One of the most beneficial moves
that could be made by Congress,
would be to eliminate that section of
the bank act limiting the borrowing
capacity Of the banks to the amount
of their capital, and to regard this as
a great emergency, and to authorize
the board created by the act, with
the advice and approval of the Sec
rotary of the treasury and the presi-
dent of the United States, to Lake
such loans as may be deemed advis-
able. to those banking institutions
using these funds solely for the pro-
lection of our agricultural interests,
and in no case advancing in excess
of per cent of the value of the
product
1--WE are confronted by conditions
which never have existed in the
worlds history, and with bounteous
crops in this country, no American
mercantile shipping, and practically
nearly all the great seagoing foreign
countries engaged in war, is means
the most complete congestion ever
known. The situation calls for the
highest qualities of sound, deliberate
mutual help on the part of every in
judgment, hearty cooperation, and
terest."

Their Situation Is Not Serious.

New Orleans.-The situation of New
Orleanians in Europe appears not to
be so serious as was supposed, for they
may at least get money with greater
ease than has been reported, and quite
a number are already en- route home.
George F. Nosler, general agent of the
American Express Company, with
headquarters in New Orleans, received
Tuesday from the treasurer of the
company in New York telegram stat
ing that the Offices Of the company in
Europe are still open and paying
checks and circular letters of credit.
Mr.. Nosler said that many of the Or
leanians who went to Europe had
these letters.

STANDARD OIL
CUTSDEL|VER|ES
OUTPUT TO BE REDUCED TO
NINE THOUSAND BARRELS
DAILY.
Western Newspaper Union News Service.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Shreveport.-Thef ar-reaching effect
of the European war crisis was brought
home to the Caddo and De Soto oil
fields when the Standard Oil Company
of Louisiana posted a notice as fol
lows:
"On account of interruption in for
eign commerce resulting from the
situation in Europe, it is necessary for
the company to curtail its output of
petroleum products, and the loss of
foreign markets necessarily limits its
ability to purchase crude OIL At this
time it is impossible to say to what
extent or how long this unfortunate
situation will continue"
This notice is reported to have fol-
offices of the Standard to cut it's de
liveries from the Louisiana territory
to 5000 barrels daily. The Standard
is credited with the statement that
unless orders are given for a still
further reduction in runs, it will be in
position to pipe the oil of the indie
pendent producers, notice having been
already been served on the Producers
Oil Company and the Gulf Refining
Company of Louisiana to the effect
that oil the Standard has been taking
from these sources will no longer be
purchased.
The Texas Company, pipe line
utility, of which the Producers Oil
Company is in effect the producing
department, has been crowded for stor-
age practically all spring and summer,
the Standard running all of the Pro-
ducers' Company's oil in De Soto and
all it would take from Caddo.
Because it had not succeeded in
connecting up its new pipe line from
the De Soto field to the main Okla
hama-Port Arthur trunk, which it taps
at Lufkin, Tex, the Gulf Refining
Company of Louisiana has been selling
a large part of its Mansfield produc-
ton to the Standard.

Dental Department of Tulane.

New Orleans.-There is much inter-
est among the dental fraternity re-
garding the future management Of the
dental department Of Tulane Univer.
sity. The university took over the
New Orleans College of Dentistry few
years ago, assuming obligations and
making it department of the uni
versity. DR.. Andrew G. Fredrichs, a
leader in dental organization in the
city, was dean of the college and re-
tanned that place under the university
management. Recently. however, a
large dental clinic has been organized
at the Charity hospital, which re-
quires much time of the dean of the
department at Tulane besides the time
required for his private practice. It
is now reported that DR.. Fredrichs has
decided to give up the deanship.

nor seen at night at a distance of 700

Plans for Attack Made.
In the war archives of Germany are
complete plans for aerial attacks on
both Paris and London. Details for
such attacks have been figured out
with Metz as the base. For an attack
on London they calculate upon leaving
Metz as darkness falls, crossing the
channel at height Of 5000 feet. I'm.
der ordinary circumstances London
would be gained before midnight.
Then the bag would be dropped to
5000 feet and the work of destruction
begun. Its nitroglycerine cartridges
could rander London helpless in a few
hours. Furthermore. the English cap
ital is inadequately protected with
searchlights with which to detect q
night attack.
Any Of the nine non-rigid dirigibles
In the British service would be unable
to cope with one rigid Zeppelin.
Attacks on Paris have been out.
lined from the same base-Metz.
Paris is better protected by sky
searchlights than London.
France has SO dirigibles, but all of
the non-rigid type, which cannot be
compared with the giant Zeppelins. of
which Germany has 16, with as many
more dependable dirigibles of other
types.
On the Russian frontier Germany
will find but trifling resistance to her
air fleets.
Germany virtually is impregnable
to an air invasion. At Metz, Leipsig.
Cologne, Baden Baden, Hanover,
Frankfort and Johannesburg she has
the most powerful searchlights in the
world.

DRILLING FOR OIL IN CADDO
Extensive Operations on the Property
Owned by Lumber Companies.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
hreveport.-Judging by the drilling
operations under way and planned on
land owned by lumber companies in
Northwestern Louisiana, some of the
timber concerns are going to make a
good living whether the yellow pine
trade is injured by the European war,
the threatened railroad strike, or not.
The drilling is in the vicinity of pro-
ducing wells, and there is reason to
believe that some of the leases will
prove profitable.
The Standard Oil Company is pre-
pairing to sink we'll in section 1913
IL, Red river parish, on land owned
by the Chicago Coal and Lumber Com
pany. In this parish the past few
months the Gulf Refining Oil Company
has completed three producers and
other indications are encouraging.
The Independent Oil Company Is
building a derrick to drill on a lease
from the Frost-Johnson Lumber Com
pany, section 1920. DeSoto parish,
in which thousands of barrels of oil
daily are produced.
DeSoto has not been fully explored.
and there appears to be some chance
for almost every well sunk.
Another lumber company is the Rob.
erts-Brown Company, on wh,Se prop
erty, in section 5-11-12, Sabine parish,
the Gulf Refining Company is drilling.
This is just south of DeSoto parish.
The Roberts-Brown land is almost
two miles north Of Oxford, and is not
far from the recent reccrd-breaking
high gravity well.

with a secret camera attached to his
