BIG WASTE IN GASOLINE.
Government Expert Tells of, Wells
Sealed or Gas Allowed to Escape.

CHICAGO, Nov. IS. - Comprehen-
siVe discussion of all steps in the
marketing of coal, oil, and ore from dis
covery and development to distribution
occupied the last day of the nineteenth
annual session of the American Mining
congress.
Max w. Ball of the United States
bureau of mines discussed oil produc-
ton and the need of conservation of
petroleum products. With 100000 au-
tomobiles III use in the United States by
January /, 1917, the waste of gasoline
was appalling, he said.
"Within the last few weeks he
continued, Il have seen millions of feet
of natural gas wasting into the air, gas
so rich in gasoline that it dropped from
the trees like an April shower l have
seen wells capable of yielding 100000
cubic feet of gas each being deliberate
~ drowned out by pumping water into
the gas sands.
"Twentv-tive to 50 per cent is left
under ground, 20 toe25 per cent of the
value of oil produced lost through
evaporation in storage; six per cent of
stored oil lost through fire. These
losses are staggering and not exception
al. What a small percentage of this
wonderful natural resource is saved to
run your machine or to deliver goods at
your door or to pillow the fields from
which your goods must comet

Alights in Italy.

PARIS, Nov. 1s.-A flight of a
French aviator of 435 miles, in the
course of which he dropped bombs on
Munich, is related in the following of
fetal report: "The aviator, Capt. de
Beauehamp, started this morning at S
o o'clock in the direction of Munich,
where he arrived at noon. He dropped
several bombs on the station in re-
taliation for the bombing of the open

mately 435 miles.)'

STATE NEWS NOTES.
Went on Perry's Japan Expedition.

Arson Mcdonald, of Peacham, who
died suddenly Nov. 6 at the home of
his daughter, Mrs. Bert Graham, in
Winchester, n. H., where he had been
just week, was s. years old. Early
last winter he suffered from trouble
with one toe which developed into
gangrene and he was, obliged to have
the leg amputated nearly to his knee.
He recovered rapidly from the serious
operation and had learned to walk with
an artificial leg.
In 1851 Mr.. Mcdonald enlisted in
the army, but was soon transferred to
the navy where he went into service
under Commodore Foote. After being
wounded he came home on a furlouph
and after that was discharged from ser
vice. He was probably the only sur
vlvor of the famous expedition of Com
modore Perry to Japan when japanese
ports were opened to the world
commerce in 1854. He had been around
the world three times in sailing vessels
and had been on the sea % years. from
which events he had a rich and varied
history.

MILWAUKEE, Wis, Nov. 1S.-The
fact that far less vegetable waste is
being received at the Milwaukee mu-
nicipal garbage crematorv now than at
any time since the plant was opened
was attributed Thursday, in state
ment by c. o. Davis, superintendent of
the crematory, to the high price of food
stuffs
"The waste in the American kitchen
has been appalling and the present stu
alton shows what can be done when
economy is the first consideration, = Mr.
Davis said. Judging from thin pota-

Victor Basch Denies Courland's
Story of a Giant Move
for Peace.

NEW YORK, Feb. 22.-Victor Basch
professor In the department Of phil
osophy and science Of the University
of Paris, an official delegate OF the
French government TO the Panama,
Pacific exposition and vice president
OF the French League for the Rights
OF Man, in an interview, refuted state
ments made by Andre CORTLAND, for
merly a prominent French Socialist
that the German and French Socialist
parties are awaiting an suspicious mo,
ment to effect a complete union fol
the restoration of peace among the
warning nations in Europe.
Fundamental differences of opinion
between two parties over the status
Of Alsace-Lorraine is the bone of con-
tention over which neither can agree
Mr.. Basch contends, and this precludes
any possibility of an effective agree
ment which would lead to a shorten
ing of hostllities.

close Of the Franco-Prussian war;
said Prof. Basch; "Alsace-Lorraine

be broken to them suddenly through
the receipt of an official document.
They take this news with an admir-
able courage. There is mot one cry of
revolt.
Before the war, It is true, the So
cialists were against 1t. We made
every effort to effect a reconciliation.
But when Germany ruthlessly began
its aggression we could not do other
wise than to support the government,
in Its defense Of the national integ-
rity. It would have been treason to
do anything else.
"That, then, is the attitude OF the
French Socialists. There is no thought
Of joining the German Socialists un-
less they admit Frances right to Al
sace-Iorraine. France is an undivid-
ed nation, fighting for its very exist
ence, and the Socialists are part and
parcel of this national unity.
at is the Germans who want peace.
They are beginning to realize that
the heyday Of their power is past.
They have reached the climax Of their
efforts and from now on they must be-
gin to fall. British aid is beginning
to make itself felt. Everything points
TO the gradual disintegration OF the
German empire. France and Its al
lies must and will win this war and
crush forever the spirit Of imperial
ism, despotism and militarism that
has been rampant in Germany for the
last half of century"

WILL FIGHT TO END

ton Of the German Socialists that
matters should remain as before the
war. This is not the view Of the
French Socialist party. The recov-
cry of this lost French province is
the main condition upon which a sat
isfactory settlement Of the war can
rest.
VIII Back Government to End.
an this contention the French So
cialists stand almost solidly behind
the government At the last Socialist
congress in Paris in December 1t was
voted by an overwhelming majority
to sustain the government in carrying
the war to the bitter end. Therefore
when Mr.. Cortland states that most
of the Socialists are in favor OF peace
but have been asked by the govern
ment to remain silent in order not to
show Germany that France is tired OF
the war he Is not only misinformed
but is grossly mis-stating the facts.
1--WE French Socialists will give the
last drop Of our blood to help our
country in its defensive war. We in
sist upon the recovery OF Alsace-Lor-
raine, but we decry any move for ter
ritorial expansion. We insist that Ger
MANY shall give back Belgium and
Serbia to their rightful owners and
withdraw into its own country. We
ask nothing more. After this is done
we would be willing to treat with any
other Socialist parties in plan for
setting up a world tribunal OF arbitra-
ton and making further progress to-
ward general disarmament. But we
cannot trust the German Socialists
now because they have sustained their
country's aggressive warfare and be-
cause we see in it victory for i'm
Iperialism and re-actionary tendencies.
"Mr. Courland states also that the
soldiers of France are desirous OF
peace and that the wives and moth
ers are banding together into socie-
Ties to demand a cessation OF HOSTILE
ties. How foolish that all 1t. The
League for the Rights Of Man every
week receives hundreds OF letters from
the soldiers in the trenches saying
that they would be willing to carry
on the war one year, two years, three
years-any length of time-to bring 1t
10 a successful conclusion.
Not 100 Peace Advocates.

women Of France for peace comes
