Vast Gasoline Needs Next Year.

To emphasize his suggestion that the
production of crude oil be increased.
Mr.. Bedford said that this country will
require next year at least 55,ooo.0oo bar
rels Of gasoline. That amount" he
declared, simply cannot be obtained
from the quantity of crude petroleum
now being produced.
They tell US the war is to won in
the air. Our country is said to be
building large numbers of airplanes.
Our allies are building flying machines
as fast as they know how. Vital to
the very existence of these airplanes
is the highest grade Of gasoline which
can be produced. The prospect is that
the present year will call for 100000
barrels of gasoline for the use of our
allies in Europe"
Asserting that it would be a. great
misfortune to adopt any policy that
would hamper or handicap the automo-
bile industry as manufacturing en-

WEEKLY PAPER FOR
SOLDIERS IN CAMPS
Publishers to Cooperate With
T. NJ. c. A. Council in Great
Undertaking.
HOW DETAILS WORKED OUT

Plans for publication of soldiers
Army and National Guard camp, be-
ginning with the week of September 80,
under the auspices of the national
war work council of the Y NJ c. A.
were announced here today by John
Stewart Bryan. publisher of the Rich
mond News-Leader, who arranged the
details of cooperation among many
other publishers which will make the
work possible.
Among contributors will be Col
Roosevelt and many of the best known
newspaper workers and cartoonistS.
President Wilson has indorsed the plan.
The general management Of the paper
of MT. Bryan. and the cooperating
publishers will compose an advisory
board. The plans grew out of a con-
| ference in Washington in July. at
war work council to visit all camps
in the south before going to Europe.
Star to Cooperate.
The Star has agreed to cooperate
with the general plan of camp publica-
tions by printing the paper which will
be circulated at Camp Meade.
1T seemed hardly probable at first
that SO large an undertaking could be
carried out" said Mr.. Bryan today.
land it probably would not have been
but for the assistance OF Mr.. Adler OF
the Chattanooga Times. who suggested
that If the paper carried no advertising
and was not sold there were no rea-
sons why local publishers would not
cooperate to the fullest measure.
THE plan was thereupon worked out
by which the Y. NJ. c. A. could furnish
ments; four of these pages to be sup
piled from the New York office to the
cooperating publisher, and the other
four pages OF camp news to be set up
and all the press work done by the
local newspapers, the entire edition to
be distributed through the Y. NJ. c. A.
headquarters at the various camps.
LAS soon as Mr.. Adler made this
suggestion and offered to do it for the
Chattanooga Times" said Mr.. Bryan, II
ing would be a success. The next one
to accept this proposition was the Bir-

and direction Of Messrs Glass &

THE fact that a man has put on a

human. He needs. and will respond to
the same influences that reached him
in his civilian life. and the publishers
of this country have been quick to per-
ceive and ready to help in giving TO
the men in the camps the vital touch
with a great movement to which Amer
lea has embarked. The drill masters
and the uniforms have q marvellous
power for giving unity Of purpose and
action, but after all the greatest uni
fer Is for all men to be nlled with the
same spirit, and this Is the opportunity
for the written word.

Oil Capacity Exceeds Demand.

While the oil refining capacity Of the
country. Mr.. Bedford stated. Is greater
than the present demand, the United
States is consuming crude oil at the rate
of over 330,00O,0O0 barrels a year. while
the annual production in this country
amounts to 312.00O.000 barrels There
was in storage in the United States on
July l last, however. 164,5s0,942 barrels
of petroleum.
1T will thus appear" added Mr.. Bed
ford, that, with the stocks above ground
and given the present rate Of production
and consumption. the supply is sufficient
to insure US having enough oil for at least
the next five years. provided the produc-
ton is fairly maintained. So. while the
occasion is not one for alarm, it is one
for taking intelligent measures toward
adequate production of what we need.
Such is the situation confronting the
petroleum committee appointed by tho
Council of National Defense to Cooperate
with the government in meeting its oil
requirements
This committee. he added. has recog-
mixed that the government requirements
should have absolute precedence. and
that no consideration of costs, conven-
ience or selfish interest should interfere
with our giving the government every
thing it asked Of U.S."

The people and the leaders know that
the speed with which this war will be
won Is in direct ratio to the intensity
and exaltation of the snirit Of the mon
who do the fighting. and this national
paper, printed under the auspices of

PLENTY Of OIL FOR
US. AND THE ALLIES
America Alone Can Supply
Gasoline and Kerosene, Presi-
dent Bedford Says.
MUST EDUCATE AUT0ISTS
By the Associated Press.

ATLANTIC CITY, N. J., September
19.-There is not the slightest danger of
a deficiency in the supply either OF crude
oil or its product, kerosene and gasoline,
for the use of the United States or its
allies in the war;, in the opinion of A. c.
Bedford of New York, president Of the
Standard Oil Company of New Jersey.
Mr.. Bedford expressed that conviction
in an address he delivered here today
before the war convention of the Ameri-
can Chamber of Commerce.
America" said Mr.. Bedford, "is pro-
ducing and can produce all that viii be
needed for these purposes" But he
added that "our government should re-
ceive the first call upon all petroleum
produced, either for itself or as it may
designate for the use of our allies in
their conduct of the war"
Before reaching this conclusion Mr.. Bed
ford declared that the vital problem con-
fronting the petroleum industry today
was to increase the production of crude
make greater and greater efforts toward
obtaining a large product.
THE price," he said, should be suffi-
GENTLY attractive to induce more ana
more people to drill wells. thus insuring
steady supply and offering always the
opportunity Of finding great pool which
will make the whole situation suddenly

COLLEGE PROPERTY EXEMPT
FROM ALL TAXATION

Attorney Edward F. Wieman advises
that body that under a decision of Cir

taxable and that the taxes for the
years 1914-15-16, should be returned.
The total for the three years is about
$1,000, but the 1916 taxes have not been
paid and will probably be taken care
of by the city.
The report further says that the de-
cision of Judge Grimm is in line with
the view now taken by the state tax
commission and in line with a pre-
ViOus decision in a case from Apple
