SANTA FE PLANS
TO EXTEND ROAD
TO OIL COUNTRY
Cutoff Line Through Usage
County by 1918,
PAWHUSKA GIVES BONUS
Main Line to Gulf to Be Short
ened $50 Miles,

Territory hitherto inaccessible TO
Oklahoma City except by roundabout
methods OF transportation will be put
IN direct touch with this city when the
AtchSon, Topeka K Santa lie Railway
company constructs its proposed cut
oil line through Usage county. That
construction work would begin within
the next few months was learned today
when a party OF officials from Pawhus
ka visited the local Chamber OF Com
metoe and declared that their city had
already raised a bonus OF 10000 for
the road
According TO tentative plans, the San
ia Fe will build its line from Caney,
Kan, through PawhuSka to pawnee,
county seat OF Pawncc county. This
road will parallel the line OF the Mis-
souri,, Kansas & Texas but will run
several miles to the west.
New Tracks Location.
From Pawnee the present line OF the
Santa Fe will be followed to Still
water, whence new tracks will be laid
probably to Pleasant Valley. From
there the road to Guthrie and Okla
homa will again be used At Caney
the Santa Fe has rails direct to Kan
sas City.
According to information given the
Chamber OF Commerce by the Pawhus
ka officials, IT is the plan OF the Sa;-
IA fc to shorten its main line to the
gull The proposed new construction
will eliminate $50 miles of rails which
now must be traversed between Kansas
City and Galveston.
To Finish II By 1918.
The understanding of Pawhuska is
that the new line through Usage coun-
ty must be completed by 1918. which
allows the Santa Fc little more than
year to finish the work.
The road through Usage county will
tap oil territory practically undcveloped
because of lack OF transportation iacil-
ities. Competent oil men declare tina,
beneath the Usage hills a second Cush-
ing field is awaiting the drllers. Prac-
tlcally all the territory has been under
lease for years.

Ready to Join Allies.
This is taken in entente capitals to
mean that the retirement OF tho
Lalmis ministry is preliminary to tho
entrance OF Greece in the war with tho
allies Recent dispatches from Berlin
and Vienna show that there also it is
regarded as probable Greece will soon
abandon neutrality and join the entente
powers.
Cause Uncertain.
The precise causes which led to the
resignation OF the ministry have not
been disclosed on account OF the ex-
ceptionally rigid censorship. A dis
patch Tuesday said NJ Zaimis had
complained that internal incidents were
preventing him from dealing with tho
external situation.
Neutrality Impossible.
1t is believed in London that his
resignation was due to the fact that
he accepted the premiership on the un-
derstanding that he was to maintain
neutrality and m view OF the Bulgarian
occupation of Greek territory had found
this impossible.
Neutral No Longer.

nations of Europe is credited with hav
ing said not long ago that after this
war the nations would prepare more
thoroughly than ever for wars eventu-
alitics. He is reported as saying that
the nations will not forget the lesson of
Belgium; that it is Switzerland s and
Hollands effective soldiery that saves
them from the war; that the only safe
guard is to be prepared. This has been
the talk for a generation; and when
war comes, we find that preparation,
instead of preventing war, makes war 4
thousandfold more terrible. The only
logical way Of destroying the menace Of
war is to get at the cause of it. Re-
moving the cause, you no longer have
the effect. What is the cause of war!
There il but one authority that can tell
US finally and fully.
whence come wars and whence
come fightings among youf Come they
not hence, even Of your pleasures that
war in your members, Ye lust, and
have not; We kill and covet, and cannO.
obtain; We fight and war: ye have not,
because We ask not. Ye ask, and re-
ceive not, because We ask amiss, that
We may spend it in your pleasures.
James Alb.
There are things that the nations
want badly enough to spend treasure
and blood to obtain them. That makes
war. Now. the remedy is this: "Who
is wise and understanding among you
Let him show by his good life his works
in meekness and wisdom. For where
jealousy and faction are, there is con
fusion and every vile deed. But the
wisdom that is from above is first pure,
then peaeeable, gentle, easy to be en-
treated, full Of mercy and good fruits,
without variance, without hypocrisy.
And the fruit of righteousness is sown
in peace for them that make peace. F."
James 3;13-18.
Remember the words of Jesus,
Blessed are the peacemakers: for they
shall be called sons of God.''
There may be what are considered
righteous wars, or wars of sclf-defense;
but always there is someone who is in
vading, else there would be no need of
self defense. And why the invasion
We must go back to the scripture we
have quoted. There is only one means
of destroying the menace of war, and
that is, to accept the principles Of right
eousness as revealed in the Bible. This
the world refuses to do. Every other
means is but subterfuge, and will fail.
BY none of the means that the world is
using will the menace of war be.
destroyed. Armagcddon will be the
ultimate clash, and then will come the
end.
