PART IN
FIGHTING THE WAR

y. C. Beaford, Chairman, Board or Directors, Standard Oil Co. New Jersey.
Picture oil in wartime. The multitude OF factories turning out
nunnioas OF war must have fuel and lubricatng oils in unusual
quantities. Transports carrying our soldiers and war products over
the seas are relying more and more on Incl OIL. Fuel oil Is largely
the fuel for the allied fleets. Transport lorries carry the soldiers
and the supplies to the front. The efficiency OF the auto trucks
transporting supplies 10 NerduIl. blocked the way TO Paris. Had
it moi been for the gasoline that supplied the submarine chasers, the
submarine wal would have taken an lneshmaby greater number
of our merchant ships. Had it not been for gasoline, it would not
be possible today to operate The new boats that are being used to
detect the presence OF the i-boatS beneath the waves, and finally
gasoline is vital to The vast arpIaHe fleet which the United States
Will ship TO France.
How the war has called for more and more of these supplies is
indicated by the fact that III 1913 our exports of gasoline to our
present allies totaled 29OO0O0O gallons. and these exports rapidly
increased until iii 1917 they totalled 300000000 gallons, and in like
manner the exports OF iubriatng oil increased from l03,O 900
gallons in 1913 TO over 200000000 gallons in 1917. During the war
the requirements for naphtha and gasoline have jumped forward
with tremendous strides. our total exports OF naphtha and gasoline
IN 1913 beng lSS,OCOO00 against over 4O0OOOC0O gallons in 1917
just rs NJ allies before ~ entrance into the war called upon us
for vast supplies the consumption OF both lubricaing oil and gasoline
III The United States also mounted at a tremendous rate.
Iie total production of oil increased from 2G5. 900 900 barrels
III 1911 to 32S,GOOOGO barrels in 1917, and the refinery capacity of
America increased from 100000 barrels a day in 1914 to more than
100000 barrels in 1917. American refineries last wear consumed
35O!0OOOOO barrels of crude Oil.

Hun Doctors Fled Typhus.

SNSAiSN elciSou, III century magazine.
AT the German prison camp Witten-
berg there were from Ii, 900 to 1000
prisoners confined in Il space of 10 acres,
surrounded by wire entanglements. At
the end of 1914 typhus broke out among
them, and the entire staff of German
medical and military officers. nurses and
guards, fed from the camp.
From December. 1914. to, August. 1915,
a period of eight months. there was no
direct communication between the pris-
oners and their guards. Food and cof-
fins were pushed over the wire fences
through chutes. Six English medical Of
ftccrs, prisoners from other camps-pris-
oiers in violation of the international
code of war which makes physicians
neutral-were put into this place to do
the duty of the Germans. which they
nobly did. Three of them died in this
work. The thre& surviving English doc
tors make this shocking report. No APP
planes Of any kind. no mattresses,
dressings. bandages. stimulants, or soap.
were furnished them.
A German doctor. named Aschenhach,
whose name will doubtless go down in
history, lis said to have been sent by the
kaiser to investigate. Hooded. mashed
and clothed to avoid danger. he stood
at the wire gate Of the Enclosure for an
hour to ask questions, for which cour-
ageous act he is reported to v received

There is no doubt that the duty of

From the Springfield (Mass.) Republican.
American casualties. AS the fighting in
creases these American lists will be still
longer. and there may be a correspond
ing Increase in the number of deaths.
Consequently it seems that the Purple
Cross idea, of having EACH body en-
ballned and sent home, would grow more
impracticable as the war wears on.
Everything connected with the fighting
tends to make it impossible. The em-
balmers and undertakers nave denied
thai they had any thought of making
money out of the American soldier dead.
The whole Purple Cross idea, It is
claimed. was to lessen the sorrow of the
bereaved relatives. When General Perish
ing's views were asked he cabled:
Due to conditions beyond our con-
troll, 1t Is ordinarily impracticable to
embalm bodies anywhere in the thea
ter of operations. 1t would be wise for
us here to conform to the customs of
our allies in this respect. The addi-
ttonal n"oncombatant personnel and
additional supplies necessary to put
into effect proposed legislation, are
factors to be considered.
After the war is over we are certain
that the government will. if possible.
bring back the bodies. The lead have
not died in vain. even though they rest
in far off graves. The spirit they car
ried with them must be our spirit as
we'll. and we must bow to the inevitable,
heartless though it may seem.

Making Taxes Attractive.
From the Outlook.

IN an eloquent and persuasive adj
dress 70 congress-, President Wilson
iaid peIore congress- and the people the
tasN mat lies ahead OF them in provid-
ins money for the war. Taxation is am
intricate and difficult subject and has
been made unnecessarily intricate and
dlfhcult by the laws which congress
mas passed; and it rs proof of the earn
esthes" and fighting spirit of the Amer
acan people that they have paid their
taxes cheerfully even while protesting
against the completely and inequality
or the tax laws. Now the president has
round II necessary to tell the people
thal they VIII have to pay more taxes.
: ana he has done it in a way to evoke Il
patriotic and even enthusiastic re
sponse. He has placed the payment of
x on the high level of service to the
country and tho cause for which we are
hghting. And he has r%econcile con-
Sfess 10 the dlSlgreeable duty of labor
ing oVer Il tax bin in the heat of IL
washington suinmcr while congress
slonhl elections approach. The reason
Tor the presidents effectiveness in this
speech is that by it he has made even
clearer than in his Red Cross speech in
new York that he is bent on leading
tNls country to victory. and he expects
the country to be powerful and united.
Recognizing the WEAKNESS that must
be consequent upon the almost contin-

oe1ore we entered the war, and the
natural inclinationsfor members of con-
gress wish to be in their home districts

told congress that we dare. not go to
the elections until we have done our
duty to the full" and that the facts
are tonic and suffice to freshen the
labor"
There are two duties TINT the presi-
dent has aid before congress: One is
to prepare the tax for next year early,

OF their earnings of this year they must
lay aside for the governments use; the
