Far-Reaching Effect.

"The action of the federal reserve
bank in recognizing oil in tankage
as a tangible asset IS a precedent
that will be far-reaching in its eff
feet" said a prominent local banker
last night. at means that the oil
industry, instead of being the wild
cat proposition that some persons
consider it to be, is a safe, solid and
legitimate business, and on exactly
the same footing as the broom corn,
cotton or grain industries. 1t is the
biggest thing, financially speaking,
that ever happened to Tulsa. The
possibilities are unlimited. / would
not be at all surprised to see the
government issuing oil certificates in
short time. 1t would not surprise
me in the least if they would place
gaugers in the field and issue certifi-
Gates on tankage oil the same as they
are now certifying to cotton and other
agricultural products that are placed
in government warehouses"
Under the new arrangement oil
cannot be removed from a tank on
which a trustee has issued certifi
Gates until the certificates have been
returned to him and he has authorized
the removal of the oil.-Tulsa World.

GOVERNMENT RECOGNIZES OIL.
Plan to Have Federal Reserve Banks
Make Full Value Loans,

Crude oil in tankage has been rec
ognized by the federal reserve banks
of the United States and, beginning
today unlimited financial resources
will be opened up to the oil men of
Tulsa and vicinity.
This means that in the future oil
in tankage will have the same stand
ing in the financial world as cotton
or kafir corn in a government ware
house. Heretofore it has been Impos-
sible for producers TO secure large
loans on oil in tankage. The extent
of their credit has been limited 10
the small amounts their local bankers
cared to loan on first mortgages.
A representative of the Exchange
National bank left last night for Kan
sas City to complete arrangements
with the federal reserve bank in that
city for handling one local oil deal
involving close to $1,OOO,O0O and sew
eral transactions of a minor nature.
Appoints Trustee.
Under the recognition given the Oil
industry by federal reserve officials
any person owning oil in tankage
may appoint a trustee. The, trustee
will ascertain the amount of crude
on hand, then issue certificates for
the amount the tank or tanks contain
These certificates will be negotiable
and money can be obtained on ,n9m
from the federal reserve bank in Kan
sas City or elsewhere to almost the
full market value of the OIL The
loans will be handled through The
local national banks, all of which, of
course, are branches of the Kansas
City reserve bank.
The arrangements to this end
We're completed yesterday, following
an investigation made a few days so
by the attorney for the Kansas City
federal reserve bank, who came to
Tulsa at the request of local nation al
banks. 1t is understood that one COM
pany is now consummatipg deal
under the terms of this allowance
whereby they will purchase 63 $4,000
barrel tanks of oil from another COM
pany.

sERMANYS
REPLY.

Notwithstanding the spirit Of OPP
simism which during the past week
spread over Berlin and Washington
concerning relations between the
United States and Germany, there is
anxiety at present in both capitals
concerning the eventual outcome Of
The dispute. It is surmised that the
reply Of the Kaiser, which is about
to be sumitted, will not be entirely
satisfactory to this country, although
Germany, tits said, is ready to make
certain concessions. We still believe
The issue can be settled by diplomacy,
Notwithstanding the uneasiness which
IS now apparent. The Richmond Jour-
nal makes some logical remarks con-
corning the submarine issue with
Germany. 1t says:
No matter what crisis may be pre-
cipitated by the German answer to
our protest against murder on the
high seas the point must be borne in
mind that the issue was made in Ger
many. This country has not courted
controversy. 1t has gone far to avoid
it. With extreme patience we have
sought by every honorable means to
show Germany that it cannot con-
.inue its submarine policy without
losing our friendship and respect.
1t is hard to understand the pre-
vailing principle of the German argu-
iment by which attempt is made to
Justify the torpedoing of unarmcd
merchant vessels and passenger shins.
It can only be explained perhaps by
IN understanding of the German sys-
tenn of government under which the
Individual is subservient to the en-
Dire and counts as nothing. while any
act, no matter how horrible or re-
Voting, is considered righteous and
heroic if it can be argued that it
vas committed in the interest of the
Fatherland.
In consideration of our issue with
Germany, and without losing our
heads or our sanity, we must re-
member that Germany is in desperate
circumstances.
This country is demanding nothing
of Germany that cannot be demand
I'd in the name of civilization and hui
nanity. We are protesting merely
against violation of our plain and
long established rights. We are pro-
testing against wanton and reckless
murder which can accomplish notn-
ing and which does not pretend to ac
complish anything.

GERMAN
FEMINISM.

1t is perhaps too much to expect
Germans to recognize that so much
of American sentiment as is hottie
to Germany, is due to the indifference
of Berlin to the efforts of London III
the last days of July, 1914, to avert
war, to the invasion of Belgium, and
to the torpedoing of merchant ships.
But of all the German explanations
of anti German sentiment the most
curiously divorced from facts is that
of the Rheinisch- Westfaclische Zei-
tung:
"The real secret of American ami
mostly against Germany is to be
sought in the overwhelming power
of women in the United States. Ii
has long been considered the correct
thing in America to talk about Eng
land as the mother country of the
partisans of womcn's rights and OF
''isms" in general. The men with
long hair and the women with short
hair felt that their false gods were
in danger, and that a victorious Ger
many, with its manly men and fem
mime women, would make short work
of all these "isms"."
The Philadelphia Record says we
have heard before of the German idea
that the English woman is brazen
hussy, whose time is spent in window
smashing and incendiarism, while the
German women modestly devoted their
attention to Kinder, Kleider, kuchcn
and Kirche-kultur and Kaiser be,
ing, of course, understood = to which
they were commended by the Kaiser
But the facts do not correspond to
any such picture. Feminism is, If
anything, more pronounced in Ger
many than in England and the United
States, though the cult of Emmeline
Pankhurst is not practiced in Berlin
unless we arc to accept the stories
of food riots.
A very considerable part of Ger
many is ,Socialist;c, and the Socialists
in all countries arc advanced Femin'
lists. Of their program the ballot is
only short step, as Edna kenton
and the Countess of Warwick, speak
ing for English women, have told US
The economic independence of wo-
men, which means that they are to

land if it should be necessary; to die
for her if they could not live for her.
The British Government has not
committed a crime in the execution Of
these Irish leaders as crime IS De
fined in national ethics, but we are
inclined to think that it has commit
ted very serious blunder-a blunder
which indicates fear as well as weak
ness and which will tend to inflame
the evil it is designed to stamp out.
The policy of the British Ministry
has been characterized by vacll!ation
and indecision all through this war.
1T has hesitated when it ought to have
acted: it has been reckless when 1t
ought to have been cautious; 1t has
been timid when it ought to have
been daring; it has been tolerant
when it ought to have been determln-
ed. 1t allowed the revolutionists to
drill and arm and almost openly pre-
pare for their outbreak; it virtually
connived at the treason which walk
ed openly at MONDAY; 1t smiled
pleasantly at Ireland through the
gold spectacles of an optimistic es-
sayist while the rebels were loading
their guns; it was criminally lenient
when it should have used the iron
hand of repression; and now when the
trouble has come to a head and the
foolish revolutionists have been sup
pressed without difficulty, it is severe
when it could well afford to be gcner'
Gus.

ANOTHER BRITISH BLUNDEk
baltimore Sum

The four Irish leaders in the re
cent uprising who have been sum
marily executed were tcchnlcalif
traitors, and the British Governments
cannot be accused of dealing WIFI
them more harshly than revolution
lists of the same type would have Deer
dealt with in Germany, in Russia, o.
even in France. They were men o.
education and intelligence, and &c
liberately stakcd their lives on ths
result. The cutlery that is being mad9
in this country by some Irish sym
pathizers is, therefore, illogical anc
unreasonable. Irish rebellion may be
justified, but those who participate
in it must be prepared to take the
risks of failure. Ireland may be
wrongfuly under English dominion,
but the fact remains that she is I'M
der it. and when an organized effort
is made to throw it off by force OF
arms that effort constitutes what IS
known everywhere as rebellion and m
