PETROLEUM DISCOVERIES.
Biaokfeet Indian Reservation in Mon.
 tana May Contain Oil and Gas.

The widespread interest in the de- velopment of the oil and gas resources
 report on a Montana area special value to oil prospectors in that state.
 A report on the Blackfeet Indian reservation just issued by the geolog-
 ical survey of the department of the interior as a result of field work first undertaken for the office of Indian af- fairs describes the geology of the southward extension of the Calgary field of Alberta, Canada. The reserva- ton is underlain by the same forma- tions that have yielded small ouanti- ties of oil and gas il the Calgary field. The report points out the general sim
 Aarity of the two regions and discusses the geologic facts upon which an in- telligent search for oil and gas in the reservation must be based. To this
 end it describes in detail about 13 anticiines and structural terraces,
 most advantageous places for drilling and the depths at which the possibly
 productive sands may be reached
 The sandstoneS in the lower part of the Colorado shale and the underlying g
 Kootenai formation are believed to be
 the only sources of oil and gas in this
 region. Although there are no known
 surface indications of oil and gas with
 have demonstrated the presence of petroleum and. petroleum residues in the lower part of the Colorado shale in
 an area adjoining the reservation on
 the south. There it was found that a body of shale about 90 feet thick, in the lower part of the Colorado, is petroliferous over a considera ble area. Small samples of this shale yielded on distallation about two gallons of oil to the ton, and thin beds of limestone intercalated in the shale are impreg- mated with a soft, tarry bitumen. These
 facts, together with the known occur
 renee of oil and gas in the Colorado | shale in Alberta and of seeps from the same shale in northern Montana, lead to the belief that oil and gas may occur in some of the areas of most favorable structure in the Blackfeet Indian reservation. Eugene Stebinger, the author of the report, believes that the chances for success in the reserva- tion are sufficient to warrant careful and systematic drilling.

The consoientious Collection

Charges that conscientious obbject- ors to military service have received violent treatment are believed. by the British army authorities to be ill., founded and it is declared by Brig adier-General Childs. director Of per sonua1 services of the War Office, that if there has been any such violence it has now ceased.
 "Undou btedly," he said, "in many camps there was rough treatment in a degree at the hands of their com rades but it is a matter of question whether it was actually violent, and the problem before the War Off1ce was to put stop to it.
 General Childs referred to resolu- t1ons which various Societies Of Friends (Quakers) in Americ9 had passed in protest against the way con- scientious objectors were treated, and in reply he showed at length that a.li genuine objectors enrolled in the army not only enjoyed the legal protection to which the soldier was entitled. but that they also had the right to appeal to the highest civil tribunal
 He referred to a statement thata had been made in a recent article to the effect that thirty-six conscientious ob- jectors were condemned to death for Non -Combatant Corps were sent to France for road-making, he said, but their work was miles away from the front. At the time of their departure
 
 London that any of these men had gone resisting. They were forcibly taken to France" but mad this been known at the War Onice these object ors would have been tried at once in England. It was not until they4had reached France and absolutely refused to do anything in the way of helping with the war that their disobedience and insubordination was deaf with by a Field General Courtmartial. The se- sentence which that court proposed. however, was not confirmed by the General Officer Commanding-ifi-ch chief the science to ten years penal serya- tude. The men were thereup sent to England. and very shortly their cases were taken before the Central Tri- bunaI which has to do with military exemption. With one exception ail were transferred to the Army Reserve. One man refused to work and that man is still in prison

STORIES OF THE WAR
The "Maader Red" Trousers

It is now only in Switzerland where the familiar "nadder red'' trousers of the old French infantry and cavalry uniforms are still to be seen. The ho- rizon-blue trouser of the new uniform that dates back from what may De called the second phase of the war after the Marne and the Yser-are also seen, but the red trousers have a big majority among the 15,000 French sol diers now interned in Switzerland through the reciprocity agreement with Germany. Most of them were taken prisoners at Charleroi and Morhange before the advent Of the horizon blue.
 Consumption, aggravated by the fla tigue of campaign and privations of prison life. sent most of them here, while about 600 are completing their education in Swiss Universities while the war goes on. There are also 250 Belgian and 15 English soldiers fol- lowing the college courses under the arrangement with Germany. There are 230 of these prisoner students at Geneva, $50 at Lauserne. 50 at Neu- chatel, 120 at Fribourg and 10 at Berne.
 There are also about 10. 900 invalid German prisoners of war in SHitzer- land, some of them are following the courses of different schools at Berne and Zurich.
 The influence of this mental occupa- ton upon the state of mind of the prisoners has been so beneficial as to suggest the provisions of occupations for all the rest of the 15.0oo interned ical effort. One suggestion is to utilize them in work on the projected Rhine to Rhone canal, the favorite enterprise of M. Ador, President of the Swiss Red Cross, who has done so much for the prisoners of W ar.

ToNIeHr's TOWN MEETING.

There cannot help being a consid- erable amount of interest in the mat ter which Is to come before the spe- cial town meeting tonight. It con cerns the whole town and there should be such an attendance that 1t would indicate that whatever action is taken 1t represents the feeling of the people of Norwich
 The purpose of the measure which has been presented to the legislature is to bring about decided change in the method of looking after the health of the community. It Is sought to do away with four officials, who are not drawing eNorbitant salaries. to have the work which they are doing con solidated under the direction of an unpaid board. with the power to se- 1ect an official, whose salary is not even indicated in the bill. but whose pay may be. for all one knows. two or three times that already received by any of the present office holding physicians.
 The bill has been under considera- ton for number of months, but ht- tie was allowed to get out in regard to it. except in a small circle, until it had been presented to the-state leg islature. Inasmuch- as Norwich is the place to be affected thereby 1t Is but natural that it should want to know more about it. It would like to know what Is to be gained by the change, whether the health of the town would be any better because of the change, whether there is a lack of efficiency under the present arrangement, what dissatisfaction really exists if there Is any. whether the real underlying purpose of it aiI is for the real pro- moter to get a life job at a handsome salary, which may be a salary in ex- cess of any paid either in the city or town at the present time. These are all things which the townspeople have ? right to fnow and which ought to be found out tonight
Norwich bulletin., 1917-02-09

tieation the claim was put forth to the effect that Commissioners Hale, who is the largest peach grower in the state. had been able. through his influence as a member of the commis- sion. to have spur track constructed to his orchard.
 At the hearing which was held upon this resolution it was brought out that there had been extra freight facilities secured in the town of Glastonbury, facilities which were needed and which had been sought for many years, but when the effort was made to locate the spur track to the or chard it was not to be found. 1t could not be shown that Glastonbury had received any undue advantages, or that MT. Hale had brought any in- huence to bear upon the railroad that it should look after the needs of this community.
 The committee which heard the matter could find no reason for fa- voring an investigation. Its opinion was that no investigation was called for and this was conveyed to the house in an unfavorable report which was sustained by that body. The res- oiution had been weighed in the bal. ance and found wanting. and in view of the fact that the alleged spur track does not exist, it received proper treatment. There must be good and sufficient reasons for taking any such step as was sought.
