 WASHINGTON, April 15. -- The United States government is prepar- ing a new communication for Ger which is designed to bring the situation to a direct issue. The communication will be forwarded to Ambassador Gerard for presenta- tion to the Berlin foreign office within the next few days. Germany will be informed that the Washington govern ment considers that Germany has not fulfilled the promises made to Ameri- ca regarding the employment of the U.boats in warfare against the mer- chant ships of the allies, bearing Am erican citizens as passengers.

NEW YORK, April 15. - The low rate to which French exchange fell the past week has been improved, so that today the French franc is quoted at higher price than it was few days ago. An announcement was made by financial interests in this city today that negotiations were progress ing for a loan by American bankers of hundred millions or more to the French government. The loan, if con summated, will be partly used to pay the bills contracted for war supplies here, and will so lessen the demand for exchange that the market should immediately respond with better quo tations for the franc.

INSPECTION LAWS
BEING VIOLATED?
Tulsan Arrested at Sapulpa
for Selling Non-Inspected
Gasoline.

x. A. Hardman of Tulsa, who is
producing what is known as casing
head or gasoline gas from his oil lease
in the southern part of the county, has
been arrested at Sapulpa on an al
legged charge of selling gasoline with
out first having same inspected as re-
quired by law. The defendant is at
liberty under n $500 bond for his ap-
pearance at Sapulpa, okla, where he
will be tried on March 6.
The state officials are investigating
closely all sales of oil used for illum
mating and power purposes with the
view of beginning prosecutions
against all persons who are selling
such oils without first having same
inspected by an authorized oil in O..
spector. 1t is said that within few
days prosecutions will begin against
parties in Tulsa who are ignoring the
state law with reference to having
gasoline inspected before offered for
sale. The object of the law Is to pro-
tect consumers of gasoline that they
may not be sold oil without same hav-
ing been inspected and found to meet
the requirements as provided by law.
Then penalty for such sales without
inspection is very severe, being a $500
fine.
