Now 100000 Cars.

The rapid development Of the auto
mobile Is largely responsible for pres
ent conditions In 1910 there were AGO.
900 automobiles in use In the United
States; in 1916 the number was $780,
900. Today there are more than 4,000.-
900 cars. demanding over 100000 bar
rels Of gasoline a year. Other uses OF
gasoline and oil are expanding upon
an enormous scale.
Tho demand for all products is
greater than tho supply OF crude OIL
Because Of the demand, the price of
crude oil has risen. thus stimulating
more and more producers to drill new
wells. Though this drilling has been
going on with great aggressiveness-b
cause the cost Of drilling is much great
er than in the past and the total sue
cesses fewer than ever-the returns
from such efforts are not as satisfactory
as they were year ago. In the first
three months Of this year 4.701 wells
were completed, yielding an initial pro-
duction per day Of 344,876 barrels. In
1915. I'LL new wells yielded 349.c.0
barrels.
I'm other words, though there have
been almost three times as many new
wells drilled in 1917 as in 1915, the ini-
tial production is considerably less than
in 1915 The drilling Of wells is still
going on, but thus far there has been
no increase in production over last year
or the year before.

Public Must Economic.

THE meaning Of the foregoing Is
this: If our government is to have the
petroleum 1t will need to prosecute the
war successfully and supply all necessi-
ties directly growing out of the war,
two steps will have to be taken. namely:
Il. The public will have to economize
in the use of gasoline. Sufficient gaso-
line .should be available to provide for
all the normal uses Of automobiles. But
pleasure riding should be curtailed.
People should look upon their automo-
biles as necessities to be used only
when needed. Not a gallon Of gasoline
should be used in the present emer-
gency except for some useful end.
"2. Every oil producer in the country
should be encouraged as patriotic ef-
fort to secure the utmost possible out
put Of crude oil. The present expense
Of drilling new wells is very great and
increasing, and the results are often
discouraging. But there Is oil to be
had II producers in the OIL business will
redouble their efforts to get it out OF
the ground"

The preparation for an attack is a work
Of infinite detail. Roads are built-wagon
roads, railroads. little De Cauville tram
roads, pack roads-any sort Of a road
over which a wheeled vehicle can be
pulled or pushed The artillery is
brought up. Some Of the guns fire daily,
and others are silent until the moment
comes when the full chorus Of cannon Is
to open on the enemy. The men of the
corps de shoe have been resting in pretty
little villages, far from the scene Of ac-

battle they are brought up by train and
sent to their new billets.

There was an American In my company
Of tho legion. When the last SOUP
was brought into the trenches. on the
night before We were to charge the
enemy, he nodded to mo:
Good old American stuff. hey?' said
he. Remember reading about it when
you were a kid: The condemned man
brealfasted heartily on a lot Of good
things. and marched into the death coll
smiling"
He was not far wrong. Many Of us
did eat our last meal on this side that
night. but most Of US marched on smiling.
Somehow there vas curious air Of peace
in the company that night. The hard
work was over. The strain Of prepara-
ton was over. We had made our
sacks" and the officers had packed their
trunks. That day we had bathed and
put on fresh underwear. to lessen the
danger Of infection II we were wounded
the next day. 1t had been bright and
sunny and pleasant, and we had written
our last letters to the folks at home. and
told our comrades what bits OF our kit
they were to have II anything happened
There was nothing else to do. When
dusk came most Of the men laid down in
tho trenches and slept At IL o'clock we
went over"
