GERMANY'S EASTERN VICTORIES HELP
 HER OIL SUPPLY

NEW NORK-A prominent Ameri can oil man says that, as near as Inc can figure. Germany's oil tankage wa. taxed to capacity in December. 1913 or eight months before the war started Germany's imports started to decrease at the close of 1913 and the country was then either starting to draw on stocks or was only taking enough for the immediate needs For long per iod previously her receipts of oil had been far above normal
 This authority does not believe Ger. many's stocks at the outbreak of the war were sufficient to last up to the present and he holds that Germany's receipts since the beginning of hostili- ties have been much larger than gen. erally supposed
 One of the biggest advantages to the Teutons in the recent develop ments in the east has been the recap ture of valuable oil territory in the Galician fields. Galicia in recent years has been sixth among the oll- producing countries Although it's output has decreased largely since 1909, when it was 14.9S2,799 barrels, the latest estimates show that the an- nual production still is between e. 100000 and S,OOO,OOO barrels year. Roumania, which is said 10 ahve sup piled large quantities of oil to the Austro-Germans since the war started has an annual output close to 14,000.- GOO barrels (War Street Journal)

 Europe Wul Be Forced To Pension
 with the end Of the war certainly will have arrived the time when there can be no further long delay m the recognition Of che principle,
 'It is now self-eyldent that a na- tiou cannot maintain schools and ab- solutlsm side by side for centuries. Finishing this war Europe will be compelled to some recognition of the services Of che men who have been fighting.
 Forced by her necessities England already has done something which we never have done in grantiug pen. sions Co the wives of living soldiers while war is in progress. We always have waited for their widowhood.
 "So it is evident that the burden of debt piled up by this war will not consist alone of capital expended or money borrowed for the organization construction. equipment support and renewal of Qualifications and nayies during the progress of the war, but will continue Co increase for half a century after the war ends and dur ing that period will be multiplied inc to hundreds of billions of dollars. The dread of the burden of pensions has been an influence against war in the United States since we sensed the pension penalty imposed upon us by the Civil War.
 "When we reckon the cost Of the military and naval establishment Of the United States. we should include in it the cost Of pensions which now amount to the tremenduous sum of S165.0o0.OOO a year.
 "This figure is impressive is it not? But consider the great total The amount spent upon such pension resulting from the Civil War now az gregates over S4.500.000
 "The facts are staggering The United States. the one great uonmil- itary nation In the world. now spends S1i7Oo0.O00 a year upon it's navy. S125 00O.0O0 year upon its army. and Si65.OOo.O0O year upon pensions for ex.soldiers. ex-sailors and their de- pendents
 We achieve. thus an expenditure of S8STOO0.000, which is nearly one half of all the money expended by the government of this country. with its population of almost 1o0.0OO.o0O people.
 U. s. Must Devise a Peace Plan
 ''Vow stop and think As nearly as now can be guessed, more men have been killed during the first six months of the present war than were killed on both sides during the four years of our Civil War Must not the possibilities of the pension burden which the conflict is imposing upon Europe loom threateningly in the mind?

THE COST OF LIVING
 WORRYING ENGLAND

The New York World staff cores. pondent says that the increased cost of living is giving the English people and government more concern than anything else except possibly the sup ply of ammunition and other war mu- mtions. The prices of foodstuffs have advanced 4S per cent representing S1,OOO.0OO.O0O annual increase The de- mand of the army for beef has caused such shortage at home that in many cities and towns meat stores are open only two or three days a week Some supplies are cheaper in Berlin and Vienna than in London, as witness the following table.
