CURRENT COMMENT
Austria,s Weakness Economic.

That the weakness of Austria is eco
nomic and political rather than military
is we'll brought out by Col Repington
in his analysis of the situation on the
Italian front; "The Austro- Hungarian
army is credited for being and better
than internal condition Of the dual mon
archy would lead us to expect" He
finds that German Austrians, Magyars,
Croats, and Bosniaks are fighting side by
side and fighting we'll. The Czeehs sur
render gladly when rounded up, but fight
bravely as long as possible. loyal to the
military oath. Meanwhile the Czech ma
ton has joined the allies and Austria
Hungary has assented to the demand for
its freedom 1t is a tragic anomaly that
these Slavs, enrolled in both armies
should thus have to fight each other, and
the sooner the fighting can be brought
TO an end on this front the better. The
loyalty Of the soldier to his salt deserves
honor, but il would be folly under these
conditions to consider only the milf
tary strength of Austria and insist on
a military solution when political So
luton is within reach. Every Czech
killed on either side is loss to the al

SOURCES OF OIL.
New Fields Are Said to Be Very valu-
able.

able.
The Mid Continent and Texas region,
the Gulf Coastal plain, and Wyoming
are regarded by the United States geo.
logical survey, department Of the inte-
rior, as probably containing more undis-
covered oil pools of great value than ave
to be found in any other part Of the
United States. The director Of the geo
logical survey bases this conclusion on
the best geologic and economic infOrma
ton at present available In Wyoming
the survey has mapped many anticlines
and domes that probably contain oil, and
the withdrawn lands in these areas will
be open to prospecting as soon as the
law providing for the leasing Of the oil
phosphate, and coal lands in the public
domain is passed by Congress.
In the salt dome region Of the Gulf
Coastal plain the discovery of additional
oil deposits will be achieved mainly
through intelligent validating, prob
ably with much less direct assistance
from geology In the Mid Continent and
Texas region most OF the oil and gas
pools are in domes and anticlinel folds;
hence the search for oil in this region
i primarily search for these types
Of geologic structure in areas where 9TH
er geologic features are in general favor
able.
In the Mid Continent field the Usage
reservation, which embraces Usage eoun-
ty, Okla, is one Of the richest and most
promising areas and is especially impor-
tant a. affording one means Of rapidly
increasing the available oil supplies Of
the country. The examinations made by
the geological survey in this field, which
are approaching completion, show the
presence of many INFESTED anticlines and
domes, most of which will be found to
contain commercial deposits Of oil and
gas within their boundaries. Many good
pools have already been developed in the
Usage nation, and the structure al de-
termined by the geologic mapping gives
promise for many more, some Of which
should be as good as any yet Ayeloped.
Not half of the reservation has yet been
leased for oil; over 100000 acres be-
longing to the Indians remain to be
opened up. These lands are now being
offered in large aggregates ~ leasing
and development by the office Of Indian
affairs, and because the structure is the
best guide to the location of the oil
pools, the geological survey is issuing in
formal advance township reports.

Americas Answer.

Rest We in peace, We Flanders dead,
The fight that We so brayely led
We've taken up, and we will keep
True faith with you who lie asleep.
With each cross TO mark his bed,
And peoples blowing overhead,
Where once his own life's blood ran red,
So let your rest be sweet and deep
In Flanders fields.
Fear not that We have died for naught-
The torch We threw to US we caught,
Ten million hands will hold it high
And freedoms lights shall never die;
We've learned the lesson that We taught
In Flanders fields.

In Flanders fields the cannon boom
And fitful flashes light the gloom,
While up above, like eagles, fly
The fierce destroyers of the sky;
With stains the earth wherein you lie

Sleep, on, We brave The shrieking shell,
The qusking trench, the startled yell,
The fury of the battle hell
Shall wake you not, for all is we'll
Sleep peacefully, for all is well.
Your flaming torch aloft we bear,
With burning heart an oath we swear
70 keep the faith, to fight it through,
To crush the foe or sleep with you
