OIL STRATA STRUCK
NEAR NEW IBERIA

New Iberia, La, Jan. 22.-Re-
ports here Saturday that the New
Iberia Oil Company had struck oil
were substantiated this morning
when Sheriff P. A. Landry and Al
phonse Davis, stockholders in the
local company, returned to town
from an early visit to the well.
Both men were positive in their
statements which were in substance
that Driller Boutte had reached OF!
strata and as an evidence Of which
they exhibited samples Of oil sand
and crude oil taken directly from
the well which, viewed by experts,
was declared to be excellent. When
questioned as to whether Boutte in
tended to set his screen and bail
the well both men declined to make
any statements further than as
Sheriff Landry put it: "We've got
oil, lots of it, and naturally well
satisfied"
One Of the oldest and most ex-
perienced oil men, speaking Of the
Little Bayou field, said:
81 consider the chances of finally
bringing in field here as very
good, but that depends on the ac-
tivity displayed 1t may be found by
either the Gulf Company or the
New iberia Company where they
are now drilling or nearby" When
asked just what he meant by near
by the oil man said: ..By nearby
/ mean within a few miles in a
northeasterly direction and directly
west in proximity to New iberia.

SENATE AMAZED at President
CONTINUED from page u

dent declared his international
policy american peace, American
policy"
The dignified Senate, taken by
surprise, sat in amazement as the
President. speaking to the body
which shares with him the conduct
Of foreign affairs, announced his
tradition-defying doctrines. But
two short hours before he appeared
at the capitol the President had
notified Vice President Marshal
that he wished to be heard and
there was no warning on the nature
Of his talk.
1t fell upon ears startled and as
founded. Tonight the text Of the
Presidents peace demands was
speeding by cable and wireless to
the capitals Of Europe. 1t left be-
hind and astounded, amazed diplo
matte corps.
Teutonic diplomats gasped and
refused to be quoted, although
plainly showing their satisfaction
that the foremost neutral was an
aggressive peace advocate. Neutral
diplomats sat back and wondered.
A few members Of the cabinet
ranged in arm chairs across the
front of the Senate chamber gal
lery, a crowd, jamming all space,
even to the stairways, and full at
tendance Of senators, heard the
speech.
In quiet, low tones they reached
every corner of the chamber, the
president read his carefully pre-
pared announcement.
He declared that peace exchanges |
had been made, and that all discus
sions have recognized the fact that
peace must be followed by "some |
definite concert of power that will
make it virtually impossible that
any such catastrophe should ever
overwhelm us again"
He voiced the desire and duty sin
honor" of the people of the United
States to join such concert of
power, and then he fatty declared
that this country could not guaran-
tee peace without making sure
that peace justified endorsement.
AS the crowded Chamber leaned I
forward with breathless eagerness,
he demanded "peace that shall
win the approval Of mankind" and
described the conditions Of such a
peace.
Not sound interrupted the tall
spare figure at the clerks desk as
he read the fateful precise diction.
The throng of House members
standing in the rear Of the chamber
watched the speaker as if fascina-
ted. In the Vice-President's gallery,
Mrs. Wilson and Mrs. Woodrow
Bones smiled tensely over the scene.
The President said he was the
only person in authority among the
peoples Of the world at liberty to
speak without reserve" for peace.
II am speaking as an individual"
he continued, and yet l am speaking
also as the responsible head of
great government and | feel conf
dent that / have said what the peo- :
pie of the United States would wish
me to say. .
"There are American principles,
Amerincan policies. We could .
stand for no others. And they are .
also the principles and policies Of .
forward looking men and women
everywhere, Of every modern ma :
lion, Of every enlightened commun- j
ty. They are the principles of man.
Kind and must prevail. /.
