PRODUCTION
IN { CREhSED
DURING YEAR
OVER ELEVEN MILLION BARRELS
- 10. p. CAPPEAU & SONS
GIVE THEIR FORECAST FOR
THIS YEAR.

During 1916, say Jo. p. Cappeau
Sons, the advance estimates would in
dicate that the crude oil production OF
the United States increased over H.
100000 bbls, and visible stocks above
ground decreased over $4,000, 600 bbls.
or, in short, we consumed 4l,000OOO
bbls., more oil than was produced in
1915, an increased consumption OF
nearly 1926, 900 bbls. per day.
Today we are consuming more oil
than we are producing and this is the
reason that prices of both crude and
Of manufactured products are still
climbing and will go still higher
consumption exceeds production.
The prices Of number of oil securi.
tics anticipate the above conditions,
the latter part Of 1916, but the earn.
ings of this class Of securities at this
time promise to largely exceed those
of last year, and the prices of many
stocks will see new high points during
1917, with a wider speculative intcres,
in this class of securities than even
before.

WELCOME THE NEWCOMER.
Judge Heald Says That New Healdton
Seems to Be All the Go.

Here IS an instance where new
conner is welcomed by others. When
New Healdton made its appearance as
a railroad oil town in the Heald,on oil
field the Ringing News referred to
the new town in very sensible man
ner and the correspondent from Heald.
ton said in his letter yesterday to The
Ardmoreite: New Healdton seems to
be all the go. Many houses are going
up and the demand seems good for
lots" The Ardmoreite correspondent
at iealdton is Judge G. II. Head, one
of the oldest settlers, and one Of the
oldest Masons in the entire state. The
new town is near him, and he evident
|ly enjoys the activities it has brough
TO the field.

Since oil has reached a point almost
to one dollar there is a greater ten
dency to store it than when it was
selling at 80 or 40 cents. Many of the
producers are buying steel and putting
oil in storage. SO far every man who
has stored oil at Healdton has made
money, and despite the fact that steel
storage is the highest it ever was, it
may be that those who are storing it
now will also make a profit. Healdton
crude ought to reach $1.25 before the
pendulum swings back the other way

of New Pork was sealed tight to-
night by order of Dudley Field Ma
lone, collector of customs Vessels
of every description, including tug
boats, were turned back at Quaran-
tine by the torpedo boat stationed
there to maintain the neutrality of
the United States.
The purpose of Mr.. Malone's or

he declined to throw any light. He
had full authority to act upon his
own initiative in case of emergency,
as he is held responsible for enforc-
ing neutrality.
While there was no apparent bas-
is for the relief that such dractic ac-
ton resulted from information that
one OF more of the great German
liners interned at Hoboken was pre-
pairing to make dash for the open
sea, it was significant that deputy
collector conferred tonight on the

the chief of police of Hoboken and
representatives of the steamship
company.

WASHINGTON SEES
SPECTER OF WAR
Note in Sussex Case is Re.
called, Was Clear in Its
Warning to Germany

Washington, Jan. 31.-Germany
has declared unrestricted submar-
il warfare
A starvation blockade of England,
the like of which the world has
never seen, was announced today in
notes delivered to American Am
bassador Gerard in Berlin and to
the State Department here by Count
Won Bernstorff.
Thus begins the long-feared cam.
raign of ruthlessness, conceived by
Won Hindenburg, it is said here, on
magnitude never even contempla-
ted by Tirpitz.
Again the United States faces
severance of diplomatic relations
with Germany, with all it's eventful
possibilities. President Wilson's re-
peated warning OF ''a world afire," /"
and Secretary Lansing's Verge of
of war" statement are being recall
ed in the capital tonight with feel
;ags Of apprehension and misgiv.
ings.
Germany's action is the super
crisis CT all those that have stirred
the American government in two
and half years of world war.
Peace and means Of preserving
peace have gone glimmering.
President Wilson, incredulous at
first when the unofficial text of
Germany's warning was brought to
.kimy-aA once. .ea1lea -feE-tAss~-oflicial
document, which had just been pre-
sented to Secretary Lansing refused
to make a comment. President Will
son began at once a careful study of
the document.
The President has the task of de-
Gliding what shall be the course of
the United States. Three immediate
steps appear among the possibilities.
The United States might solemnly
warn Germany against violation
of her pledges; it might be decided
that the German warning is suffici-
ent notice of an intention to disre-
gard those pledges and a sufficient
warrant for breaking off diplomatic
it might be decided to a.
wait the results of the blockade and
determine the course of the United
States as the actual operations de-

the adversaries, being hostile to
peace, makes it impossible for the
world at present to work out the
situation on these lines. Germany
and her allies were ready to enter
into peace negotiations, and had in
dicated a guarantee of existence,
honor and liberty on a basis. Their
plans were for evolution, as was ex-
pressly stated in the note of Decem-
Der IL, 1916, and was not aimed
at the destruction or annihilation of
their adversaries, and, in their con-
viction, were compatible with the
rights of other nations. As to Bel
gium, which is the subject of warn
hearted sympathy in the United
States, the chancellor a few weeks
beforehand announced that the an
nexation of Belgium had never
formed part of Germany's inten-
tions.
Germany, in the peace to be
concluded with Belgium, merely
wanted to take precautionary mea-
sures 80 that that country, with
which the imperial government
wishes to live in good neighborly re-
lations, could not be exploited by
adversaries for the promotion Of
hostile attempts. Such precaution
is all the more urgently needed,
since hostile persons in power in re-
peated speeches, and especially in
the resolutions Of the Paris eco
nomic conference, declared their
unveiled intension even after the
restoration Of peace (not?) to re-
cognize Germany as of equal right
but rather to fight in syA Aematic
fashion.
The attempt of the four allied
powers to bring about peace failed
on account Of the lust for conquest
of their. adversaries who desire to
dictate. Under the pretext Of the
principle Of nationalities, they un-
yelled as their war aims opposition
to and dishonor for Germany, Aus
tria-Hungary, Turkey and Bulgaria.
To out desire for reconciliation they
opposed their will. They want to
figh to the last.
s'Thus new situation has sprung
up, which forces Germany also to
new decisions. For two years and
half England adopted political and
naval measures in a criminal at
tempt to force German and Austrias
Hungary to subjection. Brutally,
despite the laws of nations, the
group of powers marshalled by Eng
land not only prohibits legitimate
trade of its adversaries, but by reck-
less pressure, even on neutral states
it stops all trades relations agreeable
to it, or forces them to limit their
trade according to its orders.
