A Mistake

The Tribune profoundly regrets that
President Wilson should at this time have
been moved to make any gesture which
however honestly intended to promote the
cause Of peace, Will inevitably tend to com
plicatc and not to clarity the situation.
To the Allies this gesture, following the
speech Of Lloyd George. will seem dc
liberate effort to give force and power TO
a German mannuvrc made in the name Of
peace but intended to promote the process
of profit taking as a result Of a violation
Of right and justice.
To the Germans the Presidents course
will seem not alone an Endorsement of their
contention that they come cleanhsnded to
the discussion Of peace, but 1t will enable
those in charge Of German policy to de-
clare TO the German people that, having
honestly sought peace having earned the
support Of the President Of the United
States for their peace proposal, they were
blocked by the Allied determination to de-
stroy Germany, which expressed itself in a
demand for more war and for more suffer
ing.
If only M Wilson could have waited
until there was any sign that Germany
really sought peace, if only he could have
waited until there was single fact to
show that Germany renowned the crime
against humanity which was and is Bel
GUM. But now American influence for
real peace. for just peace. is abolished.
Our dispatches from Washington tell US
that the Presidents course was received
with enthusiasm by the German Embassy.
1t is not difficult to see why. Cautious and
reserved as are the Presidents words, the
words are nothing and the action is every
thing. He has given to the German peace
proposal character it could not otherwise
have gained. He has bestowed upon it the
color Of an Endorsement, which it did not
yet deserve.
In the eyes Of Europe to-day the United
States is no longer a nation dedicated to
the championship Of noble principles and
committed to the support of just peace.
To-day and hencefortb we have become
the agents and purveyors Of German
peace. The nation that did not protest
when Belgium was invaded could not
wait until the liberation and restoration
of Belgium were assured before raising
it's voice on behalf of what?-oi whatever
German purpose lies undisclosed behind
the German peace proposal.

Another Scrap Of Paper!

To the Editor of The Tribune
Sir: II Germany wants peace and can
secure it by making another "scrap of paper"
would this nave an analogy with the condi-
ton of a merchant who gives his note for pay
ment for goods, but calls his note scrap
Of paper" when due and refuses to pay it d?
Would this man secure another consignment
OF goods on the same terms? Probably not.
Hence what will the Allies do in this case +?
Trust again? LUX.

life insurance official. wrote recently
pf business insurance. as follows:
Business insurance as we will con
the three sub-heads of co-partnership
Insurance. corporation insurance and
eredit insurance.
"Co-partnership insurance Is the
designation usually given TO insurance
that indemnfies the surviving partner

Effected more usually by the different
partners taking insurance policies

Indirectly by making the bene-

rases the firm or other partner has
been made beneficiary for some frac-

The Corsicana Company.

The Corsicana Petroleum company
which has been absorbed by the
| Magnolia Petroleum company made
wonderful progress in the oil bust
ness in the past five years. The
| company was organized about -
years ago and was named for the
| town of Corsicana, Texas, where the
company did its first operating. The
| offices of the company remained in
that city until about a year ago,
| when they were removed to Dallas.
During the first seven years the com
pany made rather slow progress. At
that time it had a capital taxation
of 100000, but it was fortunate in
the Electra field in Texas, and had
capitalization of a million and a half
when it was taken over by the Mag
nolia. The company's big money
was made at Electra, and it was
making good money at Healdton. The
success of the company is probably
not due to any one man, but to all
the men alike. There has never
been any disturbances in the COM
pany, the men have done team work
in the field and in the offices. Men
like Faulkner, Mclaughlin, Brown,
White, Campbell and Fairchild, who
have pushed the company to success,
are men who have spent their lives
in the oil fields of the United States,
and these men will all be retained by
the Magnolia company.
The stock of the Magnolia sold on
the market for little better than
200 and the Corsicana stockholders
were given four and a half for one
of the Magnolia stock, which means
that the Corsicana had real book
value of 9 to l. The assets of the
company, according to these figures,
must have been approximately $13,-
100000.
Every Corsicana field worker from
roustabouts on up have always been
proud of the company and have
worked hard for its success.

In Eldorado, kanas.

Ringing, Okla, Jan. 14.-W. II. Me
| Ginnis of El Dorado, Kanas, and Chas
Parker of Denver, Colo, as guests OF
| j. l.. HamOn, made a tour of the Head
] ton field this week. Joint investment
of the three in Oklahoma and Kansas
properties may result. Mr.. McGinnis is
one Of the pioneers of the new El DO
rado field. He was the pioneer oil
prospJ ctor and for several years was
the subject of many jibes because OF
his oil theories.
The first McGinnis we'll entered oil
sand at go feet. 1t flows 80 barrels
day with a test of 1873 gravity. The
field now has ten producing wells, and
the unique record of not one dry hole.
Some of the best producers are about
three miles west of El Dorado. The
Missouri Pacific is preparing to con
struct a siding there. One well there
has reached depth of $500 feet and
is fifty feet in producing oil sand.
Three other sands were cased off, and
the well produces about three quarters
of. million cubic feet of gas.
Mr Hamon is interested in the Nc
Ginnis properties. Associated with
them are Frazier Brothers and w h.
Brown.
