PREPARING FAST

The President has begun to pre-
pare the navy against the opera
ton of the piratical U-boats, and
has issued authorization for Sec
retary Daniels to spend $ll5,O0o,-
600 for speeding up preparations
for meeting the submarine men
ace, whether the United States
goes formally to war or remains
i'll state of armed neutrality.
The first step in this was taken
yesterday afternoon, when Mr..
Daniels instructed the Brooklyn
navy yard to begin work at once
upon the construction of sixty
submarine chasers, small speedy
boats, with which to patrol the
waters in the neighborhood of
moving passenger steamers, trav-
ersing the barred zone in which
Germany has announced that her
submarine captains are free to
commit murder at will. These
boats will be constructed at once
and the delivery will begin in
about sixty or eighty days.

WYOMING COMPANIES
MAKING HEADWAY

The Salt Creek Petroleum reports
good progress on the drilling OF Its NO.
well in the southeast quarter of sec
ton 29 of the Salt Creek field. This
well had reached a depth of LOO feet
on Wednesday, July 11th, and Otto
Stock, the contractor in charge OF the
drilling, expects to reach the oil-bear-
ing stratum by the end of the present
month. He is confident of getting a
good flow of oil, as number. OF other
wells on the same and adjoining sec
tions got good producers in the first
sand. If satisfactory production is
not obtained at this depth. the well
will be continued to the lower Wall
Creek sand.
The officers of the Five Fields OIL
company report good progress In the
financing of the company and are
making arrangements to start drilling
their first well within the next thirty
days This company has nearly 1000
acres in the proven Wyoming oil fields
close to producing wells and active
drilling operations. The geologist's re-
ports on the large acreage this COM
pany has in eastern Colorado are IA
vorable, and it is the intention of the
company to drill more than one well
this season near Seibert and Limon.
After considerable delay in the de-
livery of casing the Douglas-Wyoming
Oil company now reports that prog
ress in drilling is again being made.
The well is close to. 1.4O0 feet in
depth and the strong showing of oil
and the strong showing of oil and gas
continues. The men in charge Of the
drilling are confident Of an early
strike of oil.
Activity in the Douglas field is in
creasing and reports state that new
combination standard and rotary drill
ing rig will be put on lease adjoining
the property of The Douglas-Wyoming
Oil company as quickly as possible.

More than a thousand members of this

as result of the contiagration, and
yet they are struggling heroically with
what means they can spare from their

Another pleasing feature about the
situation is the friendly cooperation
with the pastor and members Of a
large number of influential white peo-
pie. The church property was valued
at 100000. and the insurance amount

THE RIGHT TO WORK
GOD GIVEN RIGHT

Whenever any people or set or class
OF person will, in any country at any
time, rise up and dictate who shall
and who shall not work. when ana
where they shall work, times are very
critical and the usefulness OF that
people or class is near at an END. Ine
right of work by the sweat OF mans
brow is a God-given right not to De
denied by any set of people. In this
connection we call attention to the
strike at the packing house plants IN
yolying three plants with 600 men
out. The Star holds and tenaciously
maintains the position that no set OF
laboring people have no right to
starve another set OF labor1ng people.
That the right to work and i've ls
sacred right to be defended by plooa,
sacrifice and suffering. The issue ID
brought home vividly to the Negroes
