OIL SHORTAGE IS IN SIGHT
War Demands Threaten To Overtax
Great Supply.


Washington, Aug. 4.-The enormous
war program will make such de-
mand for crude oil and it's derivatives
that the Council of National Defense
and other agencies investigating the
situation expect the supply to run
short. Data secured by the navy indi-
Gates that the total shortage may
amount to more than 12O,000,OO0 bar
rels. Production is expected to de.
crease approximately unless the navy
reserves are tapped, or unless the out
put of the Mexican oil field is in
creased.
The Council of National Defense
probably will urge upon the country
the strictest conservation of oil, even
if the output is increased by resorting
to the reserves.

ON TO THE FRONT
 WITH H. L. HUMAS0N
Ambulance Driver Describes Pre- parati0nS for Blow at PruSSianS

Regiments of soldiers, hundreds of big guns, whole trains of ammunition wagons, savory odors from the kitchen. airplanes whizzing overhead, shells bursting in the near distance, orderly confusion-the army of La Belle France is moving forward for an offensive. This is the graphic picture drawn by Howard C. Huma- son of the American Ambulance Corps, now in France, in letter writ ten to his mother, Mrs. H. B. Huma- son of Vine street, received yester- day. Inactivity is at an end. For ward, ever forward, the sons of France move, to drive the Prussian rom their country. MT. Humason has written many letters from the Land of Somewhere" but none has been more interesting than his latest, which follows:
 ''En France, Sept. 12, 1917. My Dear Mother:-
 Il am beginning this letter seated on my Camion in the shelter of a hill we'll up to the front while waiting to be unloaded. The days of inactivity are over and we are decidedly on the jump. We have been to this park for four days straight and it is evident that there is to be an offensive in the district
 The road here which at all times is as popular as the state pike on a Yale-Harvard football day, is now absolutely packed with humanity, wagons, etc. No crush on the Brook lyn bridge was ever worse. There is nothing but a constant stream of vehicles running in all directions, as well as great number of men on foot and accordingly progress is rather slow. We have passed on the way here four regiments with all their various paraphenalia carried on wagons of all descriptions, innumer- able officers cars with their occu- pants visibly chaing at the delay, messengers .on motorcycles running in and about with skill and speed that would make Barney Oldfield envious; long wagon trains, whole companies of two-wheeled carts drawn by mules which are used to carry ammunition to the extreme front line.
 "At the side of the road there arc the same signs of activity Troops stationed everywhere, an open field presents suitable resting place-the cooks busy getting ready the evening
 
 in the spot where they halted, some dropping in cold slimy mud appar- ently too tired to care.
 |"In every bunch of woods along the road we saw spaces cleared and bushes cut to make a hiding place for the guns soon to be installed. At one spot a number of sailors were busy erecting a huge naval gun and new parks are being laid out for material of all kinds.
 ''In places not taken by troops parks. etc., women, girls and old mem are busy ploughing and tilling tho soil in preparation for the fall plant Ing.
 This is most encouraging sign for up to now there has been no sign of fertilization at this point.
 "Old trenches have been filled up and barbed wire entanglements have as by magic. All roads have been macadamized and are as fine piece of road-bed as you can find in the States
 "One could readily believe that the war if it really exists must be miles away and yet the front line is but

OCpt. IT, 4SIi
 "The trip yesterday was repetition of the previous one except that there were but two aeroplanes to be seen and both were Roche. They had evil dently sneaked over at high altitude and then dropped for they were plain ly visible when we stopped at the park, and the French were just be- ginning to fire on them. They were pretty low for enemy machines and circled around with great audacity, apparently caring nothing for the shrapnel that broke around them. They were in an excellent position to observe everything going on and to make photographs of the country, which they undoubtedly did. The French gunners were beginning to find their range and, having got what they wanted, or finding 1t was getting too hot, they turned to leave, but they had waited a bit too long, for there was scream of shrapnel, the burst of the shell, and the tail-end machine began dropping. It's pilot was evil dently not seriously hurt, but his ma chine had been damaged, for the plane dropped for a few feet and then would proceed along and then drop. When a point was reached midway between the earth and the point where the shell burst, it apparently gave way for it dropped straight to the ground, landing in a town should judge about a mile away. The other Boche. seeing what had happened to his comrade, started to climb to safety at a ter rife rate, and had just reached Q cloud where in one second more he would have been out of sight. when there was another shell and the sec ond MT. Boche came tumbling down without any hesitation, turning over and over. So the French will know what sort of observations the Ger mans are making and the Huns will have to record two machines and four men as missing.'
