10000 ACRES OIL
LAND ARE LEASED

CENTEREILLE, Ind. May 16.-F
L. Cherry of Philadelphia, who has
been spending several weeks in the
Doddridge neighborhood leasing land
for the purpose of drilling for oil, has
increased his leased holdings to al
most 10000 acres, it was learned to-
day. The plan under which this land
is being leased seems bonafide and
above board in every respect, as a
cash payment is being made on every
acre. Cherry is backed by Chicago
millionaire
A few years ago an oil project OF
this nature was started in this same
Doddridge section, but the project de-
veioped into fraud and the promoter
skipped the country. The fact that
Cherry is not asking farmers or local
capitalists to invest in the venture,
leads many to believe that his pro-
ject is a worthy enc. Farmers OF the
vicinity where land is being leased
feel that there is oil beneath Wayne
county, and that skilled effort will
bring It forth.

tire apportionment of the county.

FOR
100000 U. S.
FORCE IN WEST
(By Associated Press)

LONDON, May 1s,-American pre-.
paratfUns on the western front are
amazing in their immensity and plans
are being made to care for 100000
American troops, Harry E. Britain,
secretary of the English branch of the
Pilgrims club, told the Royal colonial
institute last night. If the Germans
do not give in, he added, the number
Of American troops will be increased
to any amount necessary
Sir Charles P. Lucas, former head
Of the dominions department at the
colonial Office, said he wondered If the
Germans realized what the entry Of
America into the war meant. 1t
meant, he said, not only the accession
to the allied powers Of many millions
Of fighting men and the addition Of
vast resources, but also the coming in
Of the only one amongst the great
peoples of the world who have seen
and carried through to an unmistake-
able issue a four-year war.
The United States, asserted Miss
Higgins. Of the American labor dele
cation, had answered the call Of blood
England had been a wonderful inspir-
alton. and the heart of America was
full of gratitude for what England's
sons had achieved.

AUSTRIAN PEACE
ENVOY VISITED
ENGLAND THRICE
No Offer of Fair and Honora-
bic Peace Made by Central
Powers, Balfour Says.
fRy Associated Preas,l

LONDON, May 16.-Foreign Secre-
tary BalfOur was asked in the House Of
commons today whether Prince Sixtus
or Bourbon, to whom Emperor Charles
OF Austria addressed the letter last
year in which peace was offered to
france, paid two visits to England in
connection with peace proposals and
whether he was in communication on
the subject with premier Lloyd George.
The question was brought up by
Liberal member. Mr.. Balfour replied
that the subject was not one which
could be dealt with by questions and
answers.
The whole topic of Emperor
Charles proposal was discussed today
IN the House of Commons on the
initiative OF the pacifists and advo-
Gates of peace by negotiations. In
response to questions Mr.. Balfour said
that Emperor Charles wrote a letter
to relative prince Sixtus is broth
er-1n-law of the emperor) and that it
was conveyed by this relative to the
president and premier of France under
the seal of the strictest secrecyl No
permission was given to communicate
the letter to any one except the SOW
ereign and premier of this country.
(This answers the question which has
been raised as to why the emperor's
proposals were not communicated to
President Wilson.) Mr.. Balfour said
he had no secrets from President Will
son. Every thought he had on the war
was open to the President.
The foreign secretary said he did
not think it would be possible for the
United States and Great Britain to
carry the great work in which they
were engaged or to deal with the COM
plicated day-to-day problems without
complete confidence. So far as he was
concerned complete confidence would
always be given.
There was no one more desirous
than the British government, he con-
tinued that the war should be brought
to an honorable termination. If any
method be shown the government
whereby that could be accepted, it
would of course be accepted. He ad-
ded. however, that no effort at CONVEX
sations which had been made by the
central powers had been made in the
interest of fair and honorable peace.

PRESIDENT
OBJECTS TO
ALL PROBES
BY SENATE
President Charges Modified
Chamberlain Resol ution
Would Authorize Drag
net" Investigation.
IT WOULD LIMIT SCOPE
(By Associated Press)

WASHINGTON, May 16.-President
Wilson today renewed his fights
against adoption by the senate OF Sen
ator Chamberlain's resolution for a
war inquiry by the senate military
committee He advised Senator
Thompson OF Kansas that the resolu-
ton as amended yesterday by the SEN
ate expenditures committee, still is OBJ
4 jectionable.
Considering all the circumstances
President Wilson told Senator Thomp-
son, chairman of the expenditures COM
mittee, the Chamberlain resolution
even as modified would in effect auth.
orize "dragnet' investigation by the
military committee.
The president Informed Senator Mar
tin OF Virginia, Democratic leader, that
the Chamberlain resolution calling for
an investigation OF aircraft production
and other war activities constituted a
vote of lack of confidence in the ad-
ministration and the expenditures com
mittee amended 1t to eliminate all IN
vestigation of "the conduct Of the war.
Just as Much Opposed.
I'VE are going to do all we can TO
defeat the resolution, even as revised,
said Senator Thompson, after con-
ference at the White House. The
President authorized me to say that
he is Just as much opposed to the
amended resolution as he was to the
original ....-
Senator Thompson said he might Of
fer a substitute proposing to eliminate
the military committees inquiry into
the aircraft situation alone. The presi-
dent he said feels that the revised
resolution is too broadly drawn and
still is subject to the construction that
would authorize the general inquiry by
the military committee into the con-
duct of the war.
Senator Thompson also said 1t was
believed the military committee now
has sufficient authority to proceed
within its proper boundaries OF inquiry
. possibly with the exception of proyfd-
ing additional funds for expenses.
The original Chamberlain resolution
authorized an inquiry into aircraft, ord
nance and quartermaster affairs and
into conduct OF the war by or through
the war department" This phrase was
deleted and an express provision was
added preventing the military commit
tee from interfering with the Presi-
dents direction of the war.
Hughes Expected Soon.
Charles f. Hughes, who was appoint
ed by the President to act with attor-
ney General Gregory in the investiga-
ton of criminal charges in connection
with air program, is expected in Wash
ington in a few days to go over the
plans of the department of justice.
Amendments voted by the senate
expenditures committee, however,
strike out reference to the conduct of
the war and limit the scope of the
committees activities.
Senator Brandegee, of Connecticut.
is in possession today Of evidence Gut
zon Borglum desires placed in the SEN
ate record in answer to the charge that
Borglum sought to profit by the forma-
ton of a private airplane company
while he was investigating aircraft
production as a friend Of the Presi-
dent.

Pershing May Command
British and French Troops

WASHINGTON, May 16--Divisions
on the western front, where American
units are brigaded with the British
and French, it became known, today,
will fight under American command
ers whenever American troops pre-
dominate.
The plan, which means that Cen
eral Pershing soon may be placed in
command Of British and French units
as we'll as his own Americans, is re
garded here as especially desirable
and is expected to rapidly increase
the size of the American forces on the
fighting line and contribute effective
" to the spirit of unity.
In addition to this, as illustrative
of the unity of command under which
General Foch directs the American
and allied armies, it was stated Off
cially that Foch commands Italian
troops in Italy as fully as he does
American, French and British troops
in France and Belgium
