PRICE OF GASOLINE
DOUBLES IN SIX MONTHS
No Relief in Sight-AutOmobile
Manufacturers May Turn to
Kerosene.


Advances in gasoline are beginning
to attract the attention of automobile
owners who view with more or less
alarm the fact that the indispensable
fluid is now selling at 80 cents a sal
Ion where one year ago the price was
IA cents Dealers explain that this is
because the production is not equal
to the demand, which is steadily in
creasing quantity. In addition to
this, prices of tires are also advanc-
ing, as well as cost of fittings and
general equipment One travelling
salesman of an eastern oil house
when asked when this advance in gas
oline was going to stop, he replied:
Judging from present conditions, not
until it reaches such a point that au-
tomobile owners will no longer buy,
but house their machines"
One factor in the situation is that
Is months ago the Standard Oil COM
pany offered to supply crude oil at
25 cents a barrel to the many pros
pectors who were scattered over the
oil fields. This was at a cost to them
less than the expense incurred in oil
locating, and resulted in getting most
of them out of the prospecting bust
ness. Shortly thereafter, it was noted
that the price of the crude article be-
gan to rise, and this morning it was
quoted anywhere from $1.61 to S1.75
per barrel. 1t is claimed that this
move has more completely than ever
put the control of the gasoline market
in the hands of the Standard Oil, a
condition made more favorable to
them by the phenomenal increase in
number of automobiles of all kinds.
Kerosene can to a very limited ex-
tent be used for propulsion purposes,
but its action is too slow for econom-
ical use with automobile machinery
as at present constructed. One make
OF machine does use kerosene, how
ever, and dealers are inclined to the
belief that the current exigency is
likely to result in the directing of in
Yentive genius toward devising an en-
CINE that will consume kerosene in
stead of gasoline with satisfactory re
suits.

WILL ATTACK ARMED
VESSELS AFTER FEB. 20
Austria Follows Lear of Germany
and Serves Notice on Neutral C0un-
tries.

Vienna.-A portion OF the text of the
memorandum communicated by the
Austro-Hungarian foreign office today
to the representatives of neutral gov
ernments, announcing the decision of
Austria Hungary to treat as warships
armed merchantmen of countries at
war with this nation, is as follows:
1T is not unknown to the govern
ments of neutral powers that the Brit
ish admiralty in the course of the year
1913 caused a number of large British
liners to be armed.
Experiences gained in the present
war show that a considerable number
of British merchantmen used the guns
installed aboard against hostile war
ships and not solely with the intention
to escape legitimate exercise of the
prize right, but also to attack and
destroy enemy warships.
"As is evident from the memoran-
DUN which the imperial German gov
eminent communicated to neutral
states, instructions have been found
aboard British steamers which prove
that the British government itself in
cited its merchantmen to illegal acts,
and this in complete contradiction to
assurances which it communicated to
the state department at Washington.
Its allies, particularly France and
Italy, followed the example of Great
Britain during the course of HOSTILE
ties.
under these conditions, the order
has been given to the Austro-Hun-
garian naval forces to treat such ships
as combatants-an order which, how
ever, will be in force only from Feb
ruary 80, 1916.
This delay is granted in the inter
ests of neutral powers, in order that
they may be placed in a position to
warn their nationals of the danger to
which they will expose themselves if
they intrust their persons or property

Filler as well as most towns alive to

course, this winter, conducted by the
extension department of the Univer-
sity of Idaho, at Moscow. The meet

AV|ATORS MEET
MEXICAN PROBLEMS

U. s. Army Headquarters, Dublan,
Mex. by Motor to Columbus. n. NJ,
Mar. 31.-"American army aviators
in Mexico are encountering conditions
never faced before" said Captain
Foulous OF the aero squad today.
1.-THE Sierra Madres create shifting
winds and dangerous air pockets"
he continued. "The high altitude OF
one mile gives our machines only a
leeway OF one mile In the air, as they
are only equipped for a maximum al
titude OF two miles. Despite this. and
despite rough landing places. there
has been no serious mishap.
IA land altitude OF nearly two
miles which we will encounter farth-
er south will undoubtedly test our
men and machines to the utmost.
Their experience now makes them
superior to any aerial force OF the
same numbers in the world"
Regular aeroplane mail deliveries
are being made by the military flyers
at Dublan. They make the flight
from Columbus daily.
The American infantry column is
marching southwark. Francisco
Villa Is somewhere 175 miles south,
Il is believed. A trainload OF Car
ranzistas has been sent south from
Casas Grandes. Small groups OF con-
stitutionalist soldiers are cooperating
with the American vanguard. Gen
eral Pershing is highly satisfied with
the treatment he has received from
Carranza representatives.
All those engaged in the gigantic
man-hunt believe that the task OF
catching villa will prove long, hard
one. The weather at Dublan is very
cold. Ice half an inch thick forms in
