HIDDEN WEALTH IN KANSAS
Dickinson County Borders Strip of
Oil Land Crossing State

Lawrence, Feb. 28.-Erasmus Ha-
worth, head of the department OF
geology at the University of Kansas,
and former state geologist, believes
that there is a strip of oil land
twenty-five miles wide running
north and south clear across the
state of Kansas.
His belief is shared by scores of
oil promoters, who are engaged in
a mad scramble to lease the land in
cluded in this strip. The oil deposits,
if there are any, follow geological
stratum which enters the state in
Cowley county, just west of the
present coil belt" and extends north
through Butler, Chase, Marion, Nor
ris, Geary, Riley, Wabaunsee, Pot
and Marshall counties.
Oil and gas have been found in
many parts of this district and spec
ulators are leasing land almost to
the Nebraska line, usually at a
minimum price of dollar an acre.
II the entire strip is leased it will
mean that more than 100000 |
will be paid Kansas landowners in
'irst lease money In Pottawatomie
county, only one tier south or Ne
,raska, a big oil company has Sc
,ured rights on 10000 acres.

Admiral Knight Tells Committee
War With Great Britain Is
Open Question
LIMIT BUILDING BY FACILITIES
United States Should Strain Re-
sources Immediately to Build
Cruisers and Scouting
Craft Says Knight

Washington, Feb. 29.-New con.
struction for the navy should be
limited this year only by the coun-
try's facilities to build, Rear Ad-
miral Austen M. Knight, president
Of the navy war college, told the
house naval committee. If an ade-
quate fleet is to be made ready by
1925, he declared, an immediate
inquiry should be made to deter
mine the extent of the facilities and
TO plan for ever greater building
programmes each year until the
United States navy is the strongest
force afloat.
1t was suggested that war with
England was extremely unlikely.
Admiral Knight said this was open
to question. The strange diplomatic
developments of the present war, he
thought, made almost anything
possible.
Admiral Knight said that battle
and scouting craft were the
things needed vitality to make the
present fleet of dreadnaughts eff
fective. The facilities of the country
should be strained Immediately, he
said, to provide at least six battle
cruisers and eight scouts.
When questioned the general re-
3lied that the United States needed
he biggest navy afloat to be safe.

Washington, Feb. 29-Feli1
Diaz, who has been watched for sew.
eral months by department of jus
tice agents because of suspected ac-
tivities in violation of American
neutrality, apparently has left the
United States for Mexico with the
intention of launching a new reyo-

to organize and lead the troops Of
his native state, Oaxaca, and such
other forces Ia southern Mexico as
he can gather about him.
Oazaca, where Diaz is expected TO
launch his movement, is the only
state that has held aloof during the
fighting of the past two years.
Diaz has prepared a proclamation
for distribution in Mexico and the
United States announcing his rea-
sons for beginning a new revolution
