LOUISIANA FUEL OIL.

Louisiana has come TO be very large
factor in the production Of fuel OIL The
old oil fields lie in western Louisiana
Just east Of The Texas border. but the
bulk of the oil is coming from the Red
River district. which includes the oil
wells in Caddo aud DeSoto parishes and
other wells that Are being developed.
The increase in fuel oil comes wholly
from these newer districts. reported
total of sos wells were completed in the
northwestern Louisiana field in 1910. of
which Az. OF rs per cent yielded oil. The
usual yield averaged 5bS barrels the first
"a hours after completion.
The total amount reported by the U.
marketed from the northwestern Louis
lana fields amounted TO 1S.0S2O34 bar
rels in 1915. an increase of 2S per cent
for this district over the 1914 record.
fhe maximum yield. exceeding a million
August. 1915, while December had fall
len to lttle under a million a quarter
barrels The average price received for
this oil at the oil wells was 81 cents a
barrels. decrease of 80 cents per barrel
from the price Of 1914
As the Louisiana sugar factories get
the bulk of their steam from the bagasse
they produce. il has been found that
with excellent work. four gallons of fuel
oil per ton of cane. in addition TO the
bapasse. will be sufficient to carry on
the sugar factory work. The saw mill
interests of the state are large consum-
ers of steam and necessarily some kind of
fuel, but their fuel will be their own
sawdust and slabs. with surplus
amount of fuel that they have TO destroy
to get It out of the way.
The war demands have taken all the
fuel oil and refined oil that can be pro-
duced. taking il as rapidly as II is Of
fered, so that the Standard Oil Co.. with
its great refinery and pipe lines at Ba-
ton Rouge; the English corporation. with
its refinery now building at Destrehan
plantation in st. Charles Parish and the
local refinery in St. Bernard Parish,
which will soon be very largely increased
In its capacity, are all aiding in the de-
vsloping Of the commerce Of the state.

WILSON CRITICS.

The critics Of President Wilson-and
they are both noisy and numerous and
some of them belonging to his own
party-are having much to say Of On un-
complimentary nature because the Mex
lean question is about to be solved
peacefully and without Intervention OF
the shedding Of blood. OF course the
Hearts and allied interests, that have ex-
plotted Mexico and are seeking to have
their infirm titles to vast properties val
dated by our government, are behind
the movement. A. was expected, Roos-
evelt has emitted leonine roar that can
b heard across the continent. Other
politicians are openly assaiing the pres
ident because he did not rush his troops
into bloody conflict. These worthless
want war and carnage. although they
scretly refrain from putting on a
I Khaki suit and going to the border. They
want Mexico invaded and, If necessary,
the Mexican people exterminated, and
they care not = silver how many young
American lives may be sacrificed in This
ugly business. II is natural for the
American people to feel indignant and
hostile TO the Mexicans. and the presi-
dent would be applauded. for the time
being, il he would send our forces
against them. They think that he has
prccrsstinsted too much. and that the
time for acting has arrived. Neverthe-
less the sober second thought Of the peo-
pie will sustain and endorse President
Wilson If he succeeds in solving the
Mexican prpblem without bloodshed
The ignorant poems. who would be
slaughtered. are in no way to blame, be-
cause they are being blindly led bv un-
principled scoundrels who are seeking
their own personal advantage. Our
young men are too valuable an asset 10
be killed by such people in such 4 mis-
erable conflict. and If diplomacy can
bring about order ani tranquility, and
save the lives Of young Americans, that
diplomacy will be performing its most
exalted function. President Wilson can

city is chairman. and which includes a
number of prominent scientists, lit

The aim of this committee is to give
the Belgian scholars, writer's and
artists a chance to resume their work,
and to raise a fund to assist in the
reconstruction of new and greater
Belgium in the educational field as
soon as the war Is over.
In partial fulillment of this aim the
committee has found places in educa-
tional institutions in the United States
for a number of the Belgian scholars
made exiles by the destruction of the
famous universities and libraries of
Belgium.
Works of Art in Album.
Some time ago this committee pub
lished a handsome album of works OF
art by exiled artists, the proceeds from
which went into the committee 1und
for preservation of the art. literature
and learning for which Belgium has
been famed.
The committee has now issued COM
pilation of Poems of the Great War
for the same purpose. first copies Oh
which were received by DR.. Hopkins
yesterday. This publication Is col
lection of verses notable not only ior
the number of poets representeo-ln-
ciucing the foremost names OF Eng
land, ireland and the United States
but for the quality of the individual
selections. The list includes such
names as Alfred Noyes. Lord Crewe,
Rupert Brooke. Bernard Gilbert, Her
bert Kaufman, Harold Begbie, Robert
Bridges, James Stephens, Walter de
La Mare, Wilfrid Wilson Gibson, Amy

These poems were selected by J. W.
Cunliffe. professor of English and as
sociate director of the School of Jour |
nalism of Columbia University. New
York city Prominence is given to the
spirit of sacrifice which inspired men
and women to give themselves and
those dearest to them to great cause |
Dr. Cunliffe excuses this by saying that
when making his selections he was IN
fuenced by the fate of dear friend. |

States Position of Church.
In stating the position of the church
as a whole in regard to the war, Dr.
Eaton stated that it was not fitted to
prevent war nor to compel attention
to its utterances against conflict. He
said, however. that the church has not
failed, but that the nations engaged in
the war began fighting because OF the
fact that since the beginning OF man
he has been trained to look upon might
as the final means of settling any trou-
ble that might arise. The healing in
fiuencc of religion and of the church
has been known but comparatively
