PRODUCTION OF OIL

Stocks Are Decreasing at Rate
of 100000 Barrels
Monthly.

While the production of petroleum
during 1917 was at a rate of almost
10000. 600 barrels in excess Of that
for the preceding year, and while pro
ducuon at the present time is on an
even larger scale, it is worthy of mon
tion that he demand is stil SO great
that tho stocks Of oil held in reserve
in this country are decreasing a a
rate equal 10 almost 100000 barrels
per month Still the cry is moro oil
both for government and for domes-
tic consumption,
In the meantime, however, the de
mand is increasing more rapidly than
the production and II is more than
evident that several years will elapse
before the two will even in a measure
correspond. For after the tremendous
demands of the government have been
filled IL must not be forgotten that
many industries are planning 10 use
oil instead of coal as fuel Just as
soon as conditions will permit. and
that their needs win keep the oil
companies producing at capacity until
a good sized surplus has been built
up
With continued high selling price

he enabled to realize from the pro
duction thereof, the outlook for sus-
tanned high selling price for oil stocks

MISTAKE "SNtS TAKING
DESIRES FOR REALITIES

London July 9,-Captain persius
the German naval expert who occa-
sionally sticks a verbal pin into the
German bubble of delusions remarks
in the course of an article In the Ber-
liner Tagehlatt:
From the beginning of the sub
marine war we made the great mis-
take of taking our desires for reali-
ties, as has happened. indeed. in many
other instances in Germany in the
course of the war We failed to APP
preciate at their right value the ad-
Nersary's resources"
There are some others in Germany
who have begun to suspect that the
E-boat offensive has hardly done all
that II was expected to do. The Ar
better Zeitung, commenting upon
speech delivered by the secretary OF
the navy, Admiral Won Capelle. de-
claring that American transports
would afford fine booty for the Ger
man submarines, openly remarks.
According to reliable information,
many hundreds of thousands of Amer
lean soldiers have arrived in France
and not single American transport
has been torpedoed.'

Whereas. Tho recent exposure Of

Whereas. We are convinced these
conditions are due mainly 10 the fail

Whereas. The mayor Of Richmond
has power 70 enforce the laws and is
