Increasing Demand for Oil

One of the great national needs is
an increasing supply Of crude oil and
its chief products-gasoline and dis
by our entry into the
European war.
Besides transportation of troops
and supplies by land and sea. the
army will need $4,000 motor trucks,
thousands of aeroplanes, submarines,
submarine chasers, etc.
Germany could not enter upon her
terrible submarine campaign for lack
OF oil supplies for submarine engines
until she had developed the big oil
fields OF Galicia and Roumania.
What a lesson for our government,
where the production OF crude oil
Increased steadily until last year.
when it fell back under the batter
ing of the oil producers in the fed
eral courts.
Total crude productions In 1915
reached 3O6.4s4.72S barrels in our
country, anu WITH QeHidhu aih'oS'
doubling fell off to 900. 462.S87 bar

S2.899,202 barrels in the same
