coming reunion of the Confederate veterans eXcites many interesting an t,ic pations, but nothing exceeds in interest the coming of Gen. Bennett Young, commander -in-chief of the Confedd ate veterans. The interest and love that General Young has manifested for his comrades i'll the gigantic struggle. has endeared him to the veterans like no other mah i'll the organization. As he s a man of considerable means, General Young has never overlooked an opportunity to contribute in material way to the x snjoyment of the reunions and com fort of the soldiers while gathered together.
 As an indication of his interest he is expected 10 ship to Birmingham score of horses from his Kentucky stcck farm to be used as mounts in the parade by old soldiers, who, being rather old to walk, always en- joy riding a spi. tied horse. rsmindful as that experience is of the spirited cavalry of thc Confederate army. General Young. on the occasion of the 1908 reunion m Birmingham, sent a large number of horses down here for his comrades and it is learned that General Young contemplates a similar proposition unless unlocked for incidents intervene In addition to brineing a large un9ber of horses General Young is accustomed 10 br ng a band Of music along to enliven things a5out his aotel. The musicians
 are given certain O ders as to the music they are to play and no one 1 that has ever experienced such a con- cert will ever forge the strains of Dixie" at CT near the headquarters to. r. sterling old f shier f.om Ken

UNITED STATES MAY HAVE NAVY WITHOUT FUEL Diminishing Supply of Fuel Oil Perturbs Naval
 Experts.
(Bv Jonathan Winfield.)

Washington. April S.--A navy wlth- out fuel for ships is threatened for the United States in the future. This predicament is seen by naval experts who point to the rapidly diminishing supply of fuel oil and to the fact that 'every naval vessel building or au- thorized will depend solely upon oil for fuel and the navy department eX- rpects to continue it's present policy in regard to utilizing oil as fuel
 Naval officers point to the fact that at the end of 1915 there had been produced in all the history of the country 3,069, ,694, ,605 barrels of crude oil and during 1914 about 2lS,ooo0o0 barrels were consumed, so that at the same rate of consumption as in 1914 the total production up to and including 1913 would suppl! the na- tion for a little more than II years.
 The decrease in production. how ever. has been something like this;
 Every state east of the Mississippi river is producing much less oil per year than formerly. As whole. i'll 1908. they produced 6S.664 ,G6o barrels, and in 1913, only 54 54,5SS,SS2, showing a decline of about 14.000,0o0 barrels. This was in spite of the fact that in 1913 oil prices were higher than for many years, which stimulated production.
 In Indiana, for instance, there were 11,O00,oo0 barrels produced in 1904 and in 1913 only 1,000,oOO barrels. AS much oil as was produced in Indiana the navy would, by 1920, be using the fuel at such rate that all the oil over produced in Ind ana would no1 last the navy alone longer than 2z years.
 Naval officials frankly acknowledge that unless some provision Is soor made for a supply of fuel oil to meet the future needs of the navy, time will surely come when an adequate supply cannot be obtained" without greatly multiplied expense.
 Three methods are favored by nav al officials for obtaining an adequate supply of oil for number of years al reasonable cost-and all three meth ods have been drowned upon by con gress and administration officials

They are:
 1. Making Iong-term contracts for fuel oil when the price is low. The present contracts are for only one year at a time.
 2. A storage place to be filled when the price is low and this reserve oil to be used only when absolutely nec- cssary.
 8. A large oil-bearing area ehdel government control where the oil may be retained underground and not us ed until the decreased production and increased price rendered it advisable.
 The later method is now being fought following action of President Taft in 1912. who set aside a large area in California Congress, in De cember. 1915. received bills for con sideration that would exclude the i've reserves the navy now has.
 The bills to take away from the naVv the two reserves, were intro drced with the support ot the depart ment of tho interior, over the protest of the entire navy department.
 Naval officers declare that if con gress does not change it's presen attitude there shall be enacted legis- lation that would deprive the navy o its rights to the reserves, leaving the government ip the position of havin} disposed of all it's oil-Acaring laD at a time when it possesses large and growing navy dependent upon for fuel, and when men well acquaint cd with the oil industry are predict ing the rapid depletion, if not eNhaus ton. of the oil resources of the na tiOn.

He domonstrat- ed that poor man, even in these eN- pcNsiNc and strenuous times, can make a Eace for state office and win. MT. Tcrral did no advertising, and in addition had as his opponent a former president of the Arkansas Press as sociation, wh ch gave the adversary the advantage of the majority of the press. Mf. Ter al struck out alone. never appearing n a town with one ot the guhernatorial candidates. and re- fusing to he drawn into factional diff nculties. When the voting time came tho voter was pretty we'll inform d on the candidates, and Terral, who had been heard of but little since the opening of th4 campaign, showed up with a comDlete c ganiZation. even n Little Rock, and had no difficulty in sweeping Ihc state.
