Berlin, Jan. 24, via London. Ia 2o.--Count Won HertIing, the impc lal German chancellor, in his addre, before the main committee of tf ReichstaS today, said the question the limitation of arnlaments W quite open to discussion He add that the financial position of all Eq ropean countries after the war wouj probably operate most effectively i'd the solution of this problem. Coud von Hertling contended that Alsac@ Lorraine was almost purely Germa which had been severed from Gel many by violence. When German in 1870 claimed the land thus crinI inally wrung from her" it was nI the conquest of alien territory, tl| chancellor declared, but what todd is called Instrumentation.
 There is a difference between Gel many and President Wilson regar, ing the freedom of the seas, va Hertling said. He added that t1 thorough freedom of navigation du ing time of war, as we'll as in pead was one of Germanys main demand it being eminently important for fl ture free navigation that EnglaI should be made to relinquish h| strongly fortified points of suppo| on international sailing routes, sul as Gibraltar, Alden, Hong Kong al the Falkland Islands
 Count Von Hertling said the eval uation of Russian territory was question which only concerns Russ and the Central Powers. CommeT ing on the IA points in the progra for world peace set forth in Prea dent Wilson's address to congre5 the chancellor said an agreeme could be obtained without difficu on the first four points. Regardi{ [ the fifth point mentioned by Pre{ dent Wilson, the chancellor said sorI difficulties would be met with. Cd many never demanded the incd poration of Belgian territory by vii lence, the chancellor asserted.
 said the state of Poland would be q cided by Germany and Austria Hu gary. When all other questions h | been settled, he added. Gerna would be ready to discuss the aud ton of League of Peace.
 The chancellor demanded that leaders of the nations at war VI Germany set forth new proposa The terms outlined by President w son and Premier Lloyd George cd tained certain principles which cou be accepted by Germany, he said, the concrete proposals were unsat factory.
 The chancellor declared GermaN , did not wish anneXations by vi lence, but the invasion of northe France could be discussed only France and Germany.
 He asserted there could be no taU of the cession of Alsace-Lorraine Count Von HcrtIing in his addre1 according to Central News q patch, said:
 We hope soon to conclude agreement with Ukrania which wolE be mutually satisfactory, especia from an economic point of view"

London, Jan. 25.-Austria has de- cided to continue peace negotiations with Russia on the basis of no annex ations and no indemnities, according to a Vienna dispatch to the Exchange Telegraph Co.,, quoting from Count Czernin's address before the Reichs- rath.
 "I demand from Russia not a meter nity," the foreign minister is quoted as having said, 'and peace can be ob- tained if Russia maintains the same standpoint, as she evidently intends to do.
 "It is obvious to me- said Count Czernin, that an exchange of views between America and Austria-Hun- gary might form the starting point for a conciliatory discussion among all the states which have not yet entered into peace negotiations"
 Commenting on the fl points in President Wilson's speech Count Czernin said, according to an Ex- change Telegraph dispatch from Cop enhagen, that Austria-Hungary and America were virtually in agreement regarding the real principles for new arrangements after the war.
 AuStria-Hungary and America, the count said, were two belligerents whose interests were less 1ncom patible than they seemed. He characterized the speech of President Wilson regard
 jITor ,ao toward the Austro-Hungarian view point, which contained some proposals in which Austria-Hungar would glad ly join.
 ' The foreign minister sad the popu- lation of Poland would decide it's own fate. The Polish question must not delay peace one day. If Poland, after the war, wishes to advance toward Austria Hungary, such an advance would be welcomed
 Interpretation of the right of free action of peoples had caused differ. ence between Russia and Germany said Count Czernin, but a compromist must be reached. The differences O. view were not great enough to justif. abandonment of the peace negoua tions
 Regarding the difficulties attending the peace negotiations at Brest Idtovsk, he said the publication of tht daily proceedings had caused nervous ness among the people behind th' front.
 Alluding to President Wilson's ad dress, Count Czernin said:
 "I acknowledge his tone is now dlr ferent from what it was when he at tempted, by his reply to Pope Rene dict. to SOW dissension between th' German government and the German people, and this has been of good eff feet.
 "There is no longer talk about thu autocratic suppression of the German people by the government and his for mer attacks on the House of Hohen zollern are not repeated.'
 A Paris dispatch quotes Coun Czernin as declaring that T have nc intention to demand from Russia { single meter of territory or a singlt cent of indemnity"
 Count Czernin qualified his state ment respecting agreement with som of President Wilson's proposals b. saving that Austria-Hungary would support Germany.

Tulsa World: The city of Miami
may soon be the owner OF rich
jack mine. There is every indica-
ton of ore in the new municipal
well, which is now down about SOO
feet. AT the 760-foot level the drill
went into IS feet of good shines. A
sample of these shines at the city
hall is attracting great deal OF at
tention, and while this is below the
level of any mine in the district,
the driller and others who have seen
the shines believe there is rich
vein of ore not far below the present
level of the drill. Drilling is being
watched with great deal of inter
est, as it may establish the fact that
Miami covers some of the richest
ores in the district. Drilling is pro-
crossing satisfactorily and it is prob
able the drill will be down to the
water level in short time. Wa
ter is usually struck at from l,OOO
to 800 feet in Miami and present
indications are that this we'll will
be one of the best in this vicinity,
unless it develops into rich mill
ing property, in which event the
city might get into the mining game.

Venture, or Regular Business?

Oil and Gas Journal: On the
ground that the oil industry is a
venture rather than a business, a
correspondent OF a New York news
paper says that a great injustice may
be done by an attempt on the part
OF the federal government to deter
mine, for taxation purposes, what is
a reasonable return in prohts from
an investment in oil.
There are uncertainties IN the OIL
business and no end of ventures and
adventures. But to set down, with
one stroke of the pen, the great and
growing oil industry as venture,
is wide of the mark. Oil properties
of incalculable value, scattered
throughout the nation, are substan.
tial assets which mere venture
would be unable to materialize.
Vast acreage developed and operated
with costly machinery by expert
workers, in the oil-producing fields,
together with the great refining
plants, pipe lines, etc, are not OF the
character that might be utilized in
ht-or-miss proposition OF the kind
referred to by the correspondent OF
the New York newspaper. The
many millions of dollars which oil
has provided for the producers, the
refners and distributors should give
the oil game a business standing in
the marts of trade.
In asking that taxation legislation
OF a reasonable character be enacted
dealing with the oil industry, the
writer mentioned is on the right
track, but he underestimate the i'm
portance of oil among the commodi-
ties of the nation and the strong po-
sition which the business has at
tained among the industrial enter
prices Of the United States. His
lack of knowledge OF the oil trade
is common even among our leading
writers. He should find out about
oil. 1t is worth while.

MUSHROOM" TOWN IN
THE ARCTIC CIRCLE
Springs Up in North Russia Since
War Began,

London, May 30.-(Correspond-
ence of The Associated PresS).-
Murmansk, the northern terminus
of the Russian Kola-Petrograd rail
way, is a mushroom town which has
sprung into being on the shores OF
the Arctic ocean since the war.
When The Associated Press corre-
spondent visited it on his way out
with the American Red Cross Mis-
sion to Rumania, it contained about
5000 inhabitants, more than halt OF
whom were refugees.
The houses in Murmansk are lit
tie more than frame ShackS, and the
construction OF the whole town re
sembles that of a klondike mining
camp. During the winter the tenn
perature dropped as low as 50 be-
low zero, for Nurmansk is $50 miles
north of the Arctic circle. The most
picturesque feature of the town in
winter is the abundance OF reindeer
sledges, which jingle up and down
the struggling streets carrying sup
plies of food and freight.
There is one American among the
permanent population Of Murmansk.
He is a young army man, Lieuten-
ant Martin of Meridian, Miss, who
bravely flies an American flag from
staff on the roof of railway car
which constitutes his Office and resi-
dence.
American Representative.
Lieutenant Martin is officially
designated as the United States
passport officer" He is a person
of great importance in Murmansk.
He speaks Russian fuently and is
not only highly regarded by the
French and British officers OF the
port, but is also spoken OF by the
bolsheviki as 'one of our leading
citizens He is actually ex-ofhcio
chief advisor to the local bolsheviki
and attends all the meetings OF
their soviets and committees.
The Murmansk bolsheviki are not
bad sort. This is perhaps in part
accounted for by the fact that they
secure nearly all their food supplies
from the British admiral. For many
months they have been eating -four,
sugar, canned meat and condensed
milk-all from America.
Every Murmansk bolshevik wears
American shoes, and Murmansk is
almost the only place in Russia
where shoes are cheap. A pair OF
good shoes in Moscow or Jassy
costs about sixty dollars. In Muir
mansk the corr espondent was offer
ed an excellent pair, made in LYNN,

"Oh, Give Me Sugar
Money has little value in this far
nothern port. The citizen OF Muir
mansk shifts at handful of ruble
notes, but he is willing to talk busi-
ness if you can show him a few
pounds of sugar, a can of tobacco or
a bottle Of whisky. A fine fox fur,
for which the owner refused five
hundred rubles, changed hands in
stantly for a bottle OF whisky and
six ounces OF tobacco
A live reindeer highly priced alike
as draft animal and for food, sells
on the Murmansk curb market tor
about four hundred rubles, but a
man with FIVE or ten pounds OF
sugar and a pocketful OF cigarettes
can go home with as good a rein
deer as there is in the town.
The ship on which the American
mission left Murmansk lay at one OF
the naval docks. Not far away were
several Russian warships and de-
stroyers, almost entirely abandoned
by their crews. A large Russian
cruiser which lay out in the harbor
had only twenty-one OF her crew
left after a series OF bolshevik dis
turbances.
