White Guard Leader Won't I

Minister'S Plea Vain
Morris, at Stockholm, Gets No
Satisfaction; Professor
Emery Still Held

STOCKHOLM. Friday, March ga
The envoy sent by Minister Morris to
General Mannerheim, the White Guard
leader in Finland, in an effort to make
arrangements by which the Americans
in Southern Finland ~ould get through
the lines of the contesting armies has
reported that General Manne rheim re-
fused to consider the requests of the
Allied ENJOYS. The general offered to
send an a!rplane to drop letters from
the Allied ministers into the Red
Guard territory, but fatty refused to
have any parley with the Red COM
nand to grant the requested twenty
four hour armistice, or even to send
an officer with bugler to escort the
Allied emissaries.
General Manncrheim further in
formed the American, British and
French envoys that the military stu
alton was such that it might be
month before they could reach their
countrymen in the Red Guard terri
tory. The .envoys returned to Vasa
from the headquarters at Hapaamaki,
and are awaiting developments there.
Emery Not Released
The protests against the arrest Of
Professor Henry c. Emery, an Ameri-
can, and of Englishmen by the Ger
mans on the Aland Islands has been
delivered. but apparently it has not
been answered Nor has the minister
received any answer from M. Grpcn-
berg, the Finnish Minister at Stock
holm, to his protest against Professor
Emery's arrest
Rhe American Minister is greatly
disappointed over the failure of his
efforts to get the Americans out of
Southern Finland. He was informed
to-day by telegraph from Biorneborg
that the sixteen Americans there are
decidedly uneasy over the prospect of
a German advance. The German con-
troll of the Aland Islands is so COM
plete that the Finnish authorities have
given notice that no passes can be
issued to travellers bound for Finland
by way of Aland. The Germans con-
troll the cables to Finland, and all mes
sages from Finland reaching Allied
ministers and consuls here pass
through German hands.

MOSCOW, Thursday. March 21.--
Former Empress Alexandra has re-
ouested permission from the Soviet
Government to send the former heir
to the throne Alexis Romanoff, to a
saritorium in Southern Russia, AS his
physicians say that his sojourn in ST.
beria is impairing his health. The
government commissioners are consid-
crns the application.
VI. Dibenko, the former Commits
soner of Marine. has been imprisoned
in the Kremln charged with failure
to obey orders and advance while COM

tried by revolutionary tribunal.
Orders have been issued for the ar
rest of eleven heads of bureaus in the
feod ministry. charged with bribery,

Money Scarcity Grows
Prices OF manufactured articles in
Russian cities fell slightly with the
signing OF the peace, bu. food prices
we're not affected. The shortage of
money is forcing merchants to sell
goods to raise actual cash for their ex-
penses and this is said by some tinan-
trf,o have hoau ro
bic for the decline in prices. Woollen
goods and heavy shoes are dropping in
price. probably in part because of the
mild weather.
". Mcnjinsky. the Commissioner of
Finance, has been endeavoring to re-
lieve the shortage of the circulating
medium by having the government pay
the Petrograd workmen in checks, but
the workmen have refused 20 accept
them.

A Paper with Mission
For it is a newspaper with a mission
and about as talkative on that sub
vfect as its average reader would be
concerning his. Nevertheless. the in
formation illumines every line. It's the
fire under the melting pot in France
into which are being flung regiments
of the regulars, the guard and the
draft. shopkcepers, teachers and roust-
abouts, and out of which the new army
is flowing.
But the Iaper itself doesn't say so.
It's too busy with its task to talk
about it. About the closest it gets is
in the publication of General Per-
shing's letter. which it prints in it's
first number beneath a three-column
picture of the commander in chief.
"The paper, written by the men in the
service, should speak the thoughts of
the new American army and the Ameri
can people from whom the army has
been drawn" wrote General Pershing.
With that vicarious announcement
the newspaper sets to work vigorously
to bring to bear against Germany the
same fighting spirit, pride of achieve

Germany Calls On
Russian Government
To Rebuke Francis

AMSTERDAM, March 24.-The Ger
man government, according to a Berlin
dispatch, has sent the following mes
sage to the Russian government re
specting the reported statement of the
American Ambassador to Russia on his
attitude toward the ratification of the
Germ Russian peace:
"The imperial government cherishes
the certain expectation that the Rus
sian government will give a quick
answer, corresponding with the peace
treaty concluded with the Central Pow
ers, to this statement, which signifies
open incitement to the resumption Of
the war against Germany"
David R. Francis, the American Am
bassador to Russia, issued a statement
early in March at Vologda warning the
Russians that German victory meant
the return of monarchical conditions
aud advising them not to ratfy the
treaty arranged by Lenine and Trotzky.
The Congress of the Workmen's and
Soldiers Council was at that time
meeting at Moscow and had the treaty
under consideration.

A Professional Opinion

Mr.. chas. E. Straub is a profess
sional oil geologist, who was recon-
mended to the Beech Haven Oil Co.
by the State Geologist Of Kentucky,
as reliable and competent.
In the Fall Of 1917 MIR. Straub
made careful Geological Survey of
the property Of the Beech Haven Oil
Company, and his official opinion has
been given to the public.
The 18th Of August, 1918, Mr..
Straub again visited this property
and personally supervised the pump
ing Of Well No. /. This is an old
well, not yet thoroughly cleaned out.
II has not been cleaned for want Of
necessary machinery; but the ma
chinery has been purchased and is
now on the ground, and the we'll will
be cleaned at the earliest possible
moment. After a careful examina-
tiOn and pumping Of the well, Mr..
Straub says:
"The producing we'll on the Beech
Haven tract pumped IL bbls. in one
hour, the flow Of oil being diminished
but little after that time. The
pumper, (Mr. Kikerl informs me that
If well Is allowed to stand at inter-
walls of one hour il viii produce just
as much every hour after the pump
has been idle an hour. Should the
well be pumped Ave hours day it
would produce SIS barrels. This
well, as predicted last year upon my
visit to the property, has increased
its production after taking part of
the sediment out. Should it be thor
oughly cleaned out and steamed, ii
would doubtless produce more per
day. Being conservative, will say that
this we'll should make about eight
barrels per day"
