Petroleum as Locomotive Fuel.

Figures Just made public by the United
States Geological Survey disclose q
marked increase in the use Of petroleum
as a locomotive fuel by the railroads Of
the United States in 1918. The data al
hand show that the quantity OF oil fuel
40 consumed last year was 36.84S. 46t
barrels. an increase Of 5.555. 200 barrels OF
is per cent over the similar consumption
in 1914. This increase is ascribed 10 the
relatively low prices prevailing for fuel
grades Of oil during the last year and a
half as a result Of the increased produc-
ton Of low grade crude in the gulf coast
states and in Mexico and Of the aug
mented output Of suitable residuals from
reineries operating in ever increasing
number in Oklahoma and Kansas.
The total distance covered bv oil burn
ing locomotives in 1918 was l24.255s525
miles and the average distance covered
per barrel Of oil fuel consumed was $50
miles Oh fuel Is now used b some ex-
tent on 90 railroads in the United States

WHO RULES THE NORTH sEAY

After all has been said about the great
/ the British and the German fleets, after
| the losses have been enumerated as far
as it is possible to enumerate them and
after the victory has been accorded by
/ the naval experts to the one side or the
other. the fact remains that the German
fleet withdrew from the battle to the
safety Of its naval base, leaving the Brit
ish still in control of the North sea. Had
the preponderance of the German victory
been so great as at first reported, about
double damage being inflicted on the
British to that sustained by themselves,
the German fleet might have remained to
finish up the work of destruction and
eventually to cruise as the mistress of
the North sea. But such was not the
progress OF events. After a battle last
ing part of one afternoon and practically
all the night Immediately following, the
German feet withdrew from the conflict,
leaving one of the larger vessels to fight
it out with the foe and to take care OF
itself as best it could. while the major
remnant of the fleet scurried to cover.
That does not read like the story of
victor. The victor does not run away.
1t is for the yanquished to leave the bat
tleground to the conquerer. The British
remained, and while it would not be ac-
curate to declare them the winner of the
great battle. it would be equally inaccur-
ate to proclaim the Germans the victor.
The battle off Jutlsnd was stsndof as
far as the crown Of victory is concerned;
and the later reports indicate that the
German loss, in number of ships, was
not very much, if any, under that of the
British.

Talking Us Out Of Mexico.

Theatrical companies on the road. who
have failed to meet their expenses in
some particular place. are accustomed to
appoint one Of their members to "talk
out Of the town" That means that upon
this eloquent hictrion the task is de-
volyed of persuading landlords, bailitfs
and other intrusive persons that the
company can safely be allowed to take
its departure without paying its bills
One is reminded OF this theatrical insti-
tuition by the momentary success OF
General Carranza in dazzling the world
with his long expulsory address to the
United States government. The first
chief has accepted the job Of talking the
Yankees out of Mexico. At the present
moment he seems almost to have per-
suaded his fellow eountrymen that he
has done it, His ultimatum is great
(Mexicanl success. With most of the
Latin American peoples, facts are of ex-
tremely little consequence when com
pared with words. Victories in the field,
the overcoming or the expulsion OF ar
mics, are matters which are in the hands
of God; but it is open to men to achieve

and repartee. As the Mexican matter
stands, the Yankees have been talked
fat by General Carranza We are mute
with verbal defeat and humiliation The
Mexicans really need an answer which
they can understand. and it must he ad-
mitted that Mr. Wilson is master of
words. But for the satisfaction OF his
own nation, which does not pin its faith
to words to the extent of ignoring facts,
it is desirable that the president and
Secretary Baker shall not only maintain
the little army in Mexico, but give it the
backing that will enable it to finish up
its work. One of two things must be
done. Either Carranza win have to busy
himself and catch Villa and suppress the
banditry, or the American expedition
will have TO be so REINFORCED and
equipped that il viii be able to accom-
plish the task. Unless the president is
prepared to forget what he sent Pershing
into Mexico for, the American troops
'annot be argued out of Mexico.-Boston

Brandeis' Self Restraint.

Mr.. Brandeis' refusal to comment on
his confirmation calls attention to his
admirable personal bearing ever since his
name was sent to the Senate. He did
not seek the nomination, but when the
president nominated him he faced the
ordeal of assault with perfect calmness
and quietly maintained all the praprie-
ties to the end. 1t is not to be supposed
that Mr., Brandeis will ever seek to re-
taliate upon any of his assailants. Not
one of the lawyers who joined in the as
sault need fear ever to appear before
the court of which Mr. Brandeis will be
a member. The fact hat he il the first
jew to become a supreme court justice

minds one that the rejection Of the nom

Preparedness Parade at Chicago Sings
America

Chicago, June 5.--The Chicago pre-.
paredness parade Saturday was said by
Maj. Gen. 7. II. Barry, commander OF
the central department Of the United
States army. who sat in the reviewing
stand, to be the most inspiring spectacle
he had ever seen. The great parade, in
closed order, massed from curb to curb,
rolled through the streets all day. 1t
was as if the buildings were the banks of
river. and the marching thousands the
current moving between them, The most
impressive incident of the day was the
stoppage OF the whole lines at 2 o'clock
when the marchers joined in the singing
of America"
The official count showed that l30,234
persons one-sixth OF whom were women,
had passed the reviewing stand.

NEW WOOD PULP SOURCE.
Product Now Being Made. from Little
Known Woods.


That satisfactory wood pulp can b,
made from a number of heretofore littl,
known woods is evidenced by L. S
government publication just issued, whicl
contains seventy samples Of paper manu-
featured by different processes chiefly
from woods heretofore practically un
used for this purpose.
| IL is pointed out that the spruce for,
tests of the country are threatened with
exhaustion and that the cost of spruce
pulpwood has steadily increased. II the
price OF newsprint paper is to be kept at
a reasonable figure, say the experts
more efficient methods of converting
spruce into pulp must be developed OF
cheaper woods substituted for it,
The bulletin goes on to say that the
method of manufacturing groundwork
pulp has changed very little since its in
PRODUCTION into this country in 1867, Ii
was with the idea OF developing new
methods and improving the old that tests
were undertaken at the forest service
laboratories at Wausau and Madison,
Wisconsin. As a result, the relation OF
the different steps in the manufactur-
ing process to each other has been def
nitely established and the merits of each
treatment determined. The paper made
from new woods was given a practical
tryout by two large newspapers with
satisfactory results.
The tests showed that eleven new
woods give promise of being suitable for
the production OF news print paper,
while a number of others will produce
manila paper and boxboards Most of
these woods are confined to the West,
while the groundwork industry now OBJ
tains the bulk of its raw material from
the East. 1t is thought that pulp-mak
ing plants must eventually move to
points where they can obtain plentiful
supply of wood and an abundance of
cheap water-power, two prime requisites
in the business.
The experts say that because the ma
tional forests contain immense quanti-
ties OF the suitable woods and abundant
for power development,
they will undoubtedly play an impor-
tant part in the future of the wood pulp
industry.

The 5000 Britishers and Germans who
went down with their ships in the sea
encounter never had a chance at saving
their lives; they couldn't even be cap
tured az land forces are captured. Per
haps that is the reason why so much
sympathy is extended TO the families Of
the dead in a water battle while little
thought Is given to extending sympathy
TO the families Of an equal number Of
men who go down in land fighting. The
terror Of the sea still remains.
