Galician OH Fields.

Washington, June 13.-'The oil
fields of Galicia, which have been
alternately in the possession of the
Austrians and the Russians since the
wars outbreak and which are now
again under Austrian control, are
among the most important petroleum
sources of the world" says a bull
letin just issued by the National
Geographic Society at Washington.
These oil fields, situated in the
northern foothills of the Carpathians
lying some distance below and to the
east of the Austrian fortress.
Przemysl. produce about per cent
of the worlds total annual output
of petroleum.. coming, thus. fourth on
the list of the most important sources
of this fuel. The United States leads
all countries by magnificent margin
in the production of oil, turning out
"a, 50O,0 900 metric tons out of the
worlds total petroleum production in
normal times. of 4s.500,000 metric
tons. The United States. therefore,
has to It's credit nearly 81 per- cent
of the total output. This country Ia
followed by Russia, Mexico, and.
then. Galicia.
