thirty-eight men and six officers, COM
manded by Major ]. F. Spielman, ar
rived at Fort Crook early Thursday
morning to be mustered out The

who were on the second train, joined
the special at Harrington, Tex.
With the arrival Of the field hos
pital, all Of the Nebraska troops are
now back on Cornhusker soil.
While no definite time has been set
for mastering out the Coyote troops,
Captain Everington, senior mastering
officer, said he expected to have the
South Dakota soldiers on their way
home in eight days. Because of the
smallness in numbers OF the Nebraska
troops, it is thought that they will
be mustered out in a shorter time.

fully than they did at the annual

While dancing was the big affair of

work OF Miss Pauline Caps who de-
lighted the lake jewellers during inter
missions with fancy and clever gides
A number of the members spent
part of the evening at cards The
large banquet hall was given over for
this purpose.
The dancing hall was profusely

Current Comment

There is seldom enough oil above
ground to supply the consumption tor
six months. Supplies are only main
tanned by constant fresh drilling and
new prospecting. Every day Of hesita-
ton brings US closer to an oil famine.
I cannot concur in the theory that
restriction in the use of gasolene for
motor cars. either by law or by Great
ing adverse public opinion, will help
solve our problem. In fact, | believe
/. will precipitate it. The threat of
curtailing the liberal use Of gasolene
at high prices will still further intimi-
date oil producers and curtail drilling
If the situation is handled with rea-
sonable wisdom and dispatch there
need be no fear Of an oil famine, and
the danger Of a gasolene famine would
be still more remote.
There is no disposition on the part
of oil men to hold up the public as to
price. Oil is not selling to-day as high

Germany Prepares for
Seventh War Loan

The "Frankfurter Zeitung" announced
IN its financial columns recently that
preparations are already being made
for the issue Of the seventh war loan,
and that it may be expected in the
autumn. The Imperial Bank, as on for
MGR occasions, has already begun to
issue AZ per cent Treasury bills on the
condition that when they fall due the
amounts will be applied as subscrip-
tiOns to the new war loan, and all the
German banks are paying ~ per cent
upon deposits which vii. be subscribed
to the war loan on tho first payment
day. As TO the prospects the Frank
furtor Zcitung" says!
I'm view of the continued grea. album
dance OF money, and OF the possibilities
OF saving which STILL exist in spite OF
the increase w the cost OF living, It is
20 be expected that these facilities will
BIO used on large scale by wide circles
Of the population. and that in this way
all quarters will contributo TO mako the
now loan as brilliant n success as the
former loans At tho same time It is to
be hoped that speculstors, who FOR
some timo past have been worry active in
tho stock market, will restrain them
selves, and that available money, which
IL at present invested in stocks and
shares for speculative motives. will be
called in and collected for employment
in subscriptions to the new loan"
