Investigations.

those who helped, but in two weeks

report form, with the addition OF
some later data. For instance, !
was not able to learn until several
weeks after I left Russia that the
German order (Which ! possessed)

alone against Russia, but the world.

cause of bolshevik public denial of its
existence. 1t was one Of several Ger

a falsehood. Zalkind, whose signature

wall looms there.
On deck the movement, instead
of beink toward the transport
rails, is away from them. Orders
have been given for the troops to
go to their quarters, so that when
the ship is leaving harbor no uni
form may be visible to any prying
eyes on shore.
Slowly the big vessel is coaxed by
the tug into the stream, and maJes-
tically she gets under way. a few
civilian passengers, to the envy OF
officers and men, hang over the
rails and watch the city's skyline
fade away.
Soon the port is only blur in a
veil OF mist. 1t is safe now for the
troops to appear. They rush out on
deck, boyishly eager for the sight
strange to many-of the open sea.
A glance is cast toward the vague
line on the horizon that is home,
Then they turn and peer forward

venture-over there.

no little attention and considerable
comment for several days past. For
the benefit of those who do not
know what this word Palacine
means, it will be explained here that
this is The sign of the Palacine Oil
Company, the permanent Offices
having been removed from Shawnee

ing eight more families to the CEN

the management that the Office force

and manager, has recently purchased
residence property at olS Fourth

Altogether, Mr.. lleckethorn has in
vested something like $4,000 in
Ardmore property up to the present
time. Evidently, the Palacine is to
be a permanent addition TO the in

Oil and Gas Journal; An i'm
portant announcement is expected
in a few days from the fuel admin

oil and its products, needed in war
operations. similar to the program
announced on coal. Particular at
tention is to be paid to field wastage,
which has been running high in
some of the producing sections, due,
it is believed, 10 carelessness. Oil
men have said that an order pre-
venting the operation OF pleasure
automobiles one day week for
given period might be looked for as
means of saving gasoline. There
is no shortage IN gasoline, but a re-
duciion in consumption would al
low a greater supply of crude oil for
fuel and other purposes. There are
approximately 100000 pleasure
cars in the United States, and it is
figured that several million gallons
OF gasoline could be saved monthly.
