vice to German People, !" /,
Says Matin. ,s:5s.

4 London, Aug. 80. Nothing Presi-
dent Wilson has said. written or done
since he declared the entrance. Of the
United States into the struggle against
militarism has called forth heartier
endorsement by the British press than
that which is today accorded his re-
ply to the pope's peace note.
The unambiguous directness Of the
presidents language Is hailed as
wholesome and bracing plain speak
ing. especially by newspapers which
constantly oppose pacifst tendencies.
These newspapers regard the note az
q stern rebuke to the feeble spirits
who see, in the pope's proposal an ac-
sceptable basis for negotiations ~. s.
The message also is welcomed as
recalling the attention of the civilized
world to the "Monstrous character OF
warfare let loose against mankind, by
q common enemy Of which It Is con-
tended there has been danger Of the
peoples hearts becoming hardened.

In Western Oklahoma.

In all the wide outdoors of western
Oklahoma there will be some discover
les made during the year that will de.
velop some oil areas. The structures
in that country are said to be good
there are numerous wells drilling and
there is less tendency to condemn stun
with shallow tests There have been
only two decent tests drilled, one Of
which was drilled in the Lawton field
by Franklin & Johnson. of Ardmore,
and the other was drilled by Keyes &
Young. of LawtOn, near Junction City.
in Cotton county, and the latter well
found gas sand that made 11,000,00J
feet and had pressure of more than
500 pounds.
Other wells will be made good tests
and in time the lands in southern and
in western Oklahoma which stand con
demned by shallow tests will be drilled
over again All this country is ham.
pered in its drilling operation by lack
Of water and by scarcity Of drilling
supplies. Following is a report on the
western Oklahoma wells that will be
of much interest to the oil fraternity
of this state and of north Texas:
Sentinel Oil company, in 80 9nlSw,
is drilling at 700 feet. The showing
reported at this depth was without
| foundation.
Granite Oil company, in 30 7n2lw,
which has been shut down for several
months at 1900 feet is rigging up to
do deeper drilling.
Rdenour, in 10 7n17w, which has
been shut down for several weeks for
lack Of water, is resuming work at 400
feet
Doris Oil company, in "a 3n9w, has
set 1900 feet of eightinch and is drill.
ing again,
National Oil and Development, in
2S 2n10w, had 5000 600 feet Of dry gas
at $50 feet This was no occasion for
excitement, as the gas was found at
the same level Of the other gas sands
in the Lawton district
