A western oil manufactured from
selected asphaltic base crudes, due
to its wonderful internal lubrieating
value, and natural zero cold test,
makes it the correct oil for these
h%igh-speed multiple-cylinder motors.

Government officials do not conceal
their disquiet over the present subma-

that the Teutonic powers may at any
moment launch a starvation campaign
against England which could not fail
to involve the United States.
Secretary Lansing today, however,
authorized the statement that as vet
there is absolutely no truth in the re-
ports that the department has infor-
maticn that definite decision has been
reached to launch a ruthless German
submarine campaign"
Five serious cases are now pending,
the sinking of the British steamer Ma
rina, without warning and with the loss
of six American lives; the sinking of
the British liner Arabia, also apparent
ly by a torpedo and without warning;
the Smelling of the boats of survivors
of the British steamer Rowanmore,
which had fled, and the sinking of the
American steamers Lanao and Column
