FALL Of THE CITY OF
LENS IS CONSIDER.
Ed IMMINENT

While General Haig is closing in
so closely upon Lens that the capture
by the British of that mining city
and its adjacent fields seems immi-
nent, it is a question whether the
British operations will be accompain-
ed by an offensive move by the
French on a like scale.
Although there has been more or
less constant jockeying for position
by the two commanders along the
Aisne and Champagne fronts partic-
ularly the former, the German activi-
ties appear more like efforts to choke
off any possible extended movement
by the French than anything else
On the other hand. Gernal Petain's
occasional strokes give the impress
sion that all he is trying to do is to
preserve his vantage points as the
basis for resuming the French ad-
vance at some future time when that
effort seems advisable.

DRIVING OIL WELLS At
BUSHNELL--bIG SUMS
EXPENDED

Recent developments indicate that
the periodical report of "oil in Flori-
da" was founded on more than the
dream of a crank or the advertising
scheme of a boomer"
Work is now going rapidly and
quietly forward on 100000 project
near Bushnell, having for its aim the
development of the oil industry in
that section.
The company at the mead Of the
project is composed of business men
Of Tulsa, Okla, and the Pennsylvania
oil sections. They are not asking
for local assistance and have no stock
to sell In fact one of the largest
oil producing concerns in the country
is back of the project. Part of the
machinery to be used in drilling the
we'll at Bushnell was stopped while
en- route to Mexico and re-shipped to
Bushnell
In an interview with L. W Hudson,
of Oil City. Pa, the man in charge
of the work at Bushnell, the Times
representative was told that sufficient
pipe and equipment had been ordered
and was in transit to sink the test
well near Bushnell to a depth of ap-
proximately one mile.
The indications of oil found near
Bushnell have been analyzed by one
of Americas foremost chemists and
oil experts, and his report was Of

There are now 25.63S men in the

We can safely predict that our

five weeks. although the figures indi-
cate that four weeks will give us the
required number. Marine Corps week
called public attention to the corps,
adm enlistments have been hastened
thereby
We have had some little difficulty
because It has not been generally
known that enlistment was wanted.
Many young men seem to have been
under the impression that their duty
was done when they registered under
the selective draft law and that they
need not enlist But, on the whole,
our campaign results have been very
satisfactorily
