j. E. Ring of the Twin State Oil
company, has returned from the new
fields at Taylor and will remain here
now. He represented the Sun COM
pany in the Texas field and did some
good work there for his company. The
Taylor field is a small one. Only
about 100 acres are in the proven
area. Some very high prices have
been paid for barren leases, many
wildcat wells have been drilled, and
the field will cost as much as will
ever be taken from it, unless an ex-
tension is found
Mr.. Ring says there are many wild
cat tests now being drilled in Texas,
and in that statement he is concurred
in by the Fuel Oil Journal of Hous-
ton. Something like 100 oil tests are
being drilled or will be drilled soon
from Strawn to Corpus Christi on a
line passing through Waco, Taylor
Elgin, San Antonio and Columbia.
This amount of drilling should re-
suit in the discovery of one or more
fields in that state.

GERHARD TALKS
Of Mr.. BRYhN'S
RESIGNATION
CONFLICT WITH PRESIDENT DUE
TO CAUSES OTHER THAN THE
NOTE AFFAIR - "AMERICANS
WANT PEACE"

London, June IA peaceful set
uement Of the questions which have
arisen between the United States
and Germany is predicted by DR. An
ton Meyer Gerhard, who is on his
way from the German embassy at
Washington to Berlin to explain the
situation to the German government.
An interview credited to DIR. Meyer
Gerhard is published in the Frankfurt
ter Ieitung and forwarded to London
by the Amsterdam correspondent
of Reuters Telegram company. The
interview was obtained yesterday at
Christiansand, Norway when the
steamer United States, or which DR..
Meyer Gerhard was a passenger,
touched at that port.
The conflicting views existing be
tween Berlin and Washington regard
ing the Lusitania affair rest on
misunderstanding and will be settled
peacefully DR.. Meyer is credited
with saying.
"The conflict between President
Wilson and Secretary Bryan is of old
origin and arose from quite different
causes than the Lusitania affair. The
breach was rendered inevitable by the
procedure of the presi-
dent, who rejected the counsels of
his responsible minister, and drafted
the latest American note TO ,iermany,
according to his own ideas. As Presi-
dent Wilson framed this reply to
Germany without even consulting Mr.
Eryan, the latter had no other re-
course but to request that he be
released from office.
"The tension between the two must
therefore, be regarded as entirely a
domestic affair. The feeling of the |
American people and government to-
ward Germany is not all bellicose;
on the contrary, there prevails an abb
solute desire for peace.

statement regarding deficiencies:

Gently. | heard considerable about
deficiencies during the legislature
when it became necessary to make
deficiency appropriations for the main
tenance of institutions like the asy-
lums, penitentiaries and such insti-
tutions until the close of the fiscal
year, and also to pay outstanding OBJ
legations against the state In addi.
tion appropriations were made for
buildings like the science hall at the
state university, an absolute neces.
sity, and building at the Central
State Normal school at Edmond, also
a necessity. to meet the crowded CON
ditlon of that school In addition.
an appropriation for 100000 was
made to buy the insane asylum at
Norman, also a necessity. The Vim
ita insane asylum is filled with pa
tients, and cannot received any more.
The insane asylum at Supply is also
crowded to its capacity. The asylum
at Norman only is available for re-
ceiving new patients In order to
have good government we must have
the actual, not the pretended, sup.
port of the people.
Unless it is absolutely necessary
to use an appropriation it will not
be used, especially if it is to bring
about a deficiency after the available
revenues are taken up. We are going
to adjust the state affairs in a prac.
tical way, ascertain the available rev.
enue, and then apply this revenue un-
der the appropriations as made by
