Inquiry on Prospects for Peace Sent
to Berlin

Inquiry on Prospects for Peace Sent
to Berlin
Emperor William has had under
consideration for several days an in
quiry from the United States govern
ment as to whether Germany desires
to discuss terms of peace with her
foes.
Diplomatists said one version of
Emperor Williams views on peace
which had reached them was that he
declared at the outbreak of war, he
would be ready to make peace within,
a month. This view, it is said, he
held because of his confidence in the
ability of his army to take Paris in
that period. German bankers, too, it
was said by these diplomatists, had
been given this assurance and APP
proved the entry of Germany into the
war because they believed the coun-
try'S finances could be handled
through moratorium of a months
duration. 1t would not be surprising,
it was suggested, if the further efforts
to make peace were stimulated by
German bankers.
Up to late hour no reply had come,
but on its tenor depends to some ex-
tent whether or not the formal peace
movement inaugurated just week "a
go tonight can be pursued further
with Great Britain, Franch and Rus
sia The inquiry was not formal
one, such as President Wilson's origi-
nal tender of good offices, but was an
effort of an official character to deter
mine whether Germany's reported
to talk peace was based
on fact.

laws were passed and then the trust
cut the price to the stealing basis of
from % to So cents per barrel. The %
to IS cents grab price was regulated
according to their tests made to suit
themselves. Then to make matters
still worse and force the Independent
producers, who In true Kansas way
had made the fight before the Kansas
legislature like free Americans, the
trust went to discriminating against
those certain producers. Some it black
listed entirely. Pulled out the oil pipe

with no market. others they only Of

these was the company had built up
We had paid cash $27.70o for 5s0-acres
Of leases and had drilled forty-nine oil
wells thereon and had just equipped the
third pumping plant, and our produce
tion had steadily increased until the
first five days in January. 1905, we
measured out from our field to the
trust eight 250-barrel tanks of oil that
measured up about 16O barrels to the
tank. or a total of over 1900 barrels
In five days Our production was right
at the 200 barrel daily mark. Had the
trust accepted this crude at $1.3S per
barrel-what 1t was worth-our little

oughly started the oil trust black flag
was raised over the Kansas field and
soon they ordered their gauzers only to

than twenty-two barrels per day. when
our production was about 400 barrels
daily. We had crowded development
