FLOATED TO VICTORY
ON A WAVE OF OIL

As to the winning of the war anC
the part played by oil, Lord Curzon
presiding at a banquet to delegates
to the lntcr-allied Petroleum COun-
Gil. Earl Cur2on OF Kcdleston, tc
give his title correctly, made a state
ment that the allies had been float
ed TO victory on wave Of oil. Had
il not been for the great fleet OF
motor trucks the war could not have
been won he said. In the last Is
months the allies have been provided
by the Inter-Allied Petroleum Coun-
Gil with l500O,O00 tons of oil.
In December 1910, that oil situa-
ton was critical. stocks were so de-
plcted that the British fleet was OBJ
liged to restrict operations, AT the
time when tank ships were being
sunk in increasing numbers, the idea
was conceived OF carrying oil in the
double bottom OF ordinary vessels
and 100000 tons were transported
in this manner, and at the conclu-
sion OF the war when the armistice
was signed. the stocks OF oil in the
allied countries had been brought up
to absolute safety.
Especial thanks were due to the
Standard Oil and other great oil
companies in the United States; to
the Royal Shell combine; to
the Anglo-Persian Oil Co., and to
the Anglo Mexican Petroleum Co.
The result has been one great tri-
umph of the war due to excellent
organization, patriotic spirit and the
good feeling which has existed
among the whole OF the allies.
1t was a victory OF automobiles
over railroads, Senator Berenger OF
France said, and further that the
Germans thought to win because
they owned coal, but the allies won
with oil.
He thanked also the Royal-Dutch
group and Mr.. Deterding, its direc-
tor general, in particular, Tor the
great assistance given to the French F..
during the war. This statement was
endorsed by the Italian deputy Cap .
tain Pozzo, who also thanked the
,Royal-Dutch for the great services
rendered to Italy.

the companies, spent several days
this week in the oil fields OF East
land and Stephens counties. They
were in Dallas yesterday on their
return. They were guests OF J.
Edgar Pew At luncheon at the City
Club. Mr.. Dawes SAID his COM
pany has made modes, investments
in the North Texas oil fields and
further than this they have NOT yet
gone. The company is not drilling
any wells a. yet, but may do 50 IA
the near futurU Mr.. Dawes said nc
has made no locations Tor wells 50
iar. His trip over the fields, he
said, was very interesting and the
amount OF development under way
is an identification that the field viii
soon be outlined and the capacity
OF its several pools will be determ-
incd. lie said his Investigations
OF the oil indicate that it has un-
usual value in lubricating qualities.
In order further to determine IN
his own refineries he will ship seV-
cral tank ears of the crude to his
Philadelphia refinery to be process
cd accurately for all values,
Il like Dallas said Mr.. Dawes,
and see the possibility OF this ci.y
becoming the oil center OF the
North Texas fields. 1t has certain
facilities that appeal to the oil men.
Among them are hotels and Office
buildings and / am told excellent
living advantages and educational
facilities. 1t is a mistake to say that
any one place can remain the center
of the oil industry after the produc-
ton center has shifted away from
it. The oil centers OF the past are
not the oil centers OF now. The oil
center will always be somewhere
near the center OF production. This
city OF yours is well situated in the
present oil development to be its
center
The Ohio Cities Gas Company,
whoch owns the Pure Oil Company,
has rciineries at Cushing and Ard
more, Okla, and also casinghead
gasoline plants in those cities. The
main refinery OF the company how
ever. is at Philadelphi. There the
crude is processed into all its by
products and the kerosene and gaSo-
line shipped by pipe lines owned by
the company to markets IN New
York. New Jersey, Ohio, and Penn
sylyania. The company owns eN-
tcn,ive production in Southern
West Virginia, which IS brought TO
the Philadelphia refinery by pipe
lines owned by the company, The
company is capitalized at about $50
100000. The Oklahoma refinerlcs
of the company and the casing
head plants we're acquired a lew
years ago with production then
bought bv the company. They are
skimming plants such as most OF
the midcontincnt reiincrics are at
this time. The Philadelphia refin-
cry last year used 5,545.OOO barrels
If crude oil.

II Congress in 1905-1909 from the
Marietta, Ohio, district. He still
makes that district his home. He

to go from here to the oil fields

CHAPTER XVI.
All ouIe. (Y) on the Western Front

All Quiet NJ on tne western FTOhI
At brigade headquarters l happened
10 overhear a conversation between our
G. o. G. general officer cOmmanding)
and the divisional commander. From
this conversation / learned that we
were to lombard the German lines for
eight days, and on the first of July the
'big push" was to commence.
In a few days orders were issued to
that effect, and II was common prop
erty all along the line.
On the afternoon of the eighth day Of
our 'strafeing," Atwell and l were sit
ting In the front-line trench smoking
flags and making out our reports of the
previous nights tout of the trenches,
which we had to turn In to headquar-
tiers the following day, when an order
was passed down the trench that Old
Pepper requested twenty volunteers to
go over on a trench raid that night TO
try and get a few German prisoners for
information purposes. l Immediately
volunteered for this job, and shook
