GASLESS SUNDAY
SAVES 100000
BBLS' GASOLINE
AMERICAN WELLS MUST
PRODUCE 365,OOO,OOO BAR
RELS OIL NEXT YEAR.

New York, Sept. %. - Since the
first "gasless Sunday" ten cargo
boats carrying 100000 barrels of
gasoline, which otherwise could not
have been shipped, have been sent
to France from the United States,
declared Mark L. Requa, director OF
the oil division of the United States
fuel administration, in an address
here tonight before hundreds or
manufacturers and engineers pledged
to conserve coal and fuel oil to help
win the war.
Otter stating that mot less than
25000,000 barrels of crude oil more
than the United States consumed
last year must be produced this
year, a total Of Sos, 100000 barrels, or
approximately 20 per cent OF the
worlds entire output" Mr.. Requa
said:
Every new destroyer will add to
this amount; every airplane will use
80 gallons OF gasoline per hour; ev-
cry tank, motor truck and ambulance
must have the products OF petroleum
and YOU must help in making these
products available in ever increas-
ing quantities for shipment to
France"
The manufacturers and engineers
were told how to avoid waste. Thou
sands of barrels of oil were wasted
annually, it was said. by leaky joints
and by enginemen using gasoline to
cleanse their hands.
Government inspectors. it was
said. will visit all plants at intervals.

The Daily Ardmoreite. [volume] (Ardmore, Okla.) 1893-current, 1918-09-29

Washington, Sept pa dispatch
from Switzerland today says that
the Vienna Arbeiter Zeitung reports
that the victories of the entente in
Macedonia and Palestine are making
profound impression in Austria.
The semi official papers are trying
to reassure public opinion by point
ing out that only rupture of the
Belgrade -Constantinople line in the
region of Nish could mean a catas-
trophe for the central powers and
that this is a long way from the
present front TO Nish.
The Arbeiter Zeitung replied by
stating that the Austro-German
troops rapidly covered greater dis
tanceS in their Serbian campaign.
Washington, Sept. 2S.-High hope
OF the collapse of Bulgaria as an
active military force as the out
come OF her appeal for an armistice
in order to discuss peace terms were
tempered today by reminder from
officials experienced in such settle
ments that this appeal after all can
be considered as only the first step
toward the end of Bulgaria's activ-
tiles.
Are Other Phases.
1t was pointed out that probably
several other phases must be passed
through before the whole Bulgarian
nation can be brought to appreciate
that nothing less can be expected
than the terms laid down in the
French and British replies. Only
acceptance OF such terms, it was held,
can prevent the destruction OF the
Bulgarian army and the occupation
OF Bulgarian cities by the entente
troops.
The statement of the German for
eign minister, Won Hintze, that Ger
man and Austrian reserves were be-

surrender is not taken seriously, Of
icials here believing that no such
reserves are available and that re-
