War FORETOLD

WROTE LETTER PREDICTING
POLAND AS WORLDS
BATTLEFIELD.

Berlin, Aug. ia correspondent
of the Berliner Tageblatt calls at
tention to a strange prophecy of the
famous Polish poet, Count Zygmunt
Krasinski, who died in Paris in 1859.
After the Crimean War. in the fall of
1856, the poet wrote to his friend
Gaszynski:
1.-THE good people of France and
England, will not do anything for us
Our nation will have to endure ter
rible sufferings many years more
Then fearful war will leone, into
which almost all States of Europe will
be drawn. This war will be largely
fought out in our beloved country
which will be turned into a bowling
wilderness and drenched with blood
from one end to the other. Our
sufferings then will surpass every
thing we have endured so far. Fire
sword and hunger will decimate our
population, but on the ruins the vic
tor Will erect new ana glorious TO
land to shame the good people who
have given us nothing but words of
sympathy and empty promises of aid
in our struggle against Russian ty-
ranny. The European war which
see in the far distance will end our
sufferings forever and bring US free
dom and new national greatness.
will be long dead when this happy
time arrives, but it is sure to come
exactly as l predict"
The letter containing this remark
able prophecy is said to be in the
collection of Prince Czartoryiski in

The Corsicana Oil and Gas Field.

The Corsicana Oil and Gas Field,
Texas.
The oil industry in Texas may be
said to date from 1895, when the first
successful well was drilled in the
rich Corsicana field i'm Navarro
County. Before that time the max
imum annual production OF oil in
Texas had not exceeded 60 barrels.
The Corsicana field continued to yield
almost the total production of the
State from 1896 until the discovery
of the Beaumont field, in 1901.
During the last 81 years more than
2,224 wells have been drilled in this
field, and about three-fourths of them
have been productive. At the close
of 1915 the field had yielded almost
IL 200, 900 barrels OF oil. about three
ffths OF which came from the light
oil district and two-fifths from the
heavy-oil district. Some wells in the
field have been producing from IA to
20 years. The production per acre
has been differently estimated at l.
1872 and 2,015 barrels in the light-oil
district and at 1861 and 1887 bar
rels in the heayy-oii district. The
estimated ultimate production per
acre for the field will be more than
1000 barrels, a quantity of oil sufii-
cient to cover the productive area to
a depth of about inches.
The Stratigraphy and structure of
the Corsicana oil and gas field as well
as the occurrence and production of
oil and gas in it are described in a
report by q. c. Matson and o. b.

66l-F, by the United States Geo
logical Survey, Department of the In
terror. A copy of the report may be

WORK RUSHED ON
AVIATION field
CAMP TO TRAIN 2,4OO MEN Is
BEING CONSTRUCTED AT
DAYTON, OHIO.

Dayton, o., Aug. 1l--While hish-
powered engines of aeroplanes roar
overhead. $500 workmen, $50 teams
Of horses and scores OF tractors and
shcvels are making the dirt fly here
in preparation for the largest avia-
ton field in the United States. Four
other smaller fields have been located
thruOut the country. But the one
under construction here will be the
largest. providing facilities for train
ing 2,40a men at one time.
More than hundred buildings al
ready have been erected, and hund-
reds more will be constructed. Build
ings are put into use as soon as
finished. And, while the laborers are
getting the great field in shape. doz-
ems of aviators are taking to the air
daily.
There are now 800 future aviators
encamped on Wright Field. They
comprise the Twelfth and Thirteenth
aero squadron and are made of young
athletic, keen-eyed men from all sec
tions of the country.
Three Kinds OF Machines.
Three kinds of machines are pro-
vided-the Curtiss, the Wright bip-
lane and the standard" model be
ing used by the Allies. There are
small machines built for speed. $50
miles an hour or more-machines
built to ascend rapidly into the clouds
and aerOplanes designed to carry six
men, machine guns and bombs. When
the 2,4OO student aviators are quart
cred here, it is expected there will be
from 5000 to 5000 machines in the
hangers, for in Europe it has been
found that it takes about three ma
chimes to each fiier.
The men are learning not only how
to fly but also how to fight In the air,
which is a far more complex affair,
requiring skillful maneuvering. The
men are anxious to get to France,
where they will complete their train
ing.
The hangers for the aeroplanes
will acomodate eight machines, Each
squadron has its own barracks. There
are separate buildings for the Off
GERS.
Other Buildings.
Other buildings being built include
hospitals, machine shops, stables,
mes halls, bath houses, sewage dis
posal plant, waterworks and a heat
ing plant.
1t will be several months before
the field is completed. Huge piles
of lumber and other material now
are scattered about the field. Farm
buildings are being razed, trees cut
down and everything done to accele-
rate the work of training aviators
who are expected to help turn the
tide against the Kaiser.
