GASOLINE SHOULD
Be CONSER RIVED BY
ALL AUTO OWNERS
Government Restrictions on
Consumption May Not Be
Necessary if Autoists Will
Eliminate All Waste.

SPECIAL CORRESPONDENCE 70 MORNING JousNAli
Washington. July 1.-The United
States fuel administration. through
Mark l. Reaua, director of the oil di-
vision. has issued the following state-
ment in regard TO gasoline.
up to the present time there has
been sufficient supply of gasoline to
, meet all requirements but in order TO
be prepared for any shortage, should
it arise, plans are being considered by
the oil division of the fuel administra-
ton, in cooperation with automobile
industry and the national petroleum
war service committee, for the pur-
pose of determining the most satisfac-
tory method of gasoline conservation.
1T is not expected in any event that
1t Will be necessary to restrict normal
consumption for freight vehicles. and
provided there is reasonable conser-
vation by all concerned, it may not be
necessary to seriously interfere with
passenger cars and motor boats.
ut must be borne in mind however,
that the paramount use for gasoline
is for war purposes, all of which re-
quiremen,s will be supplied. The vol
ume of this will largely govern the sit
uation.
"Tt seems possible that rational con-
servation by the public will render
government action unnecessary"
The National Chamber of Commerce
is cooperating with Mr.. Requa and
w Champin Robertson, director of
oil conservation, to help in this con-
servation movement
While there is need for saving, there
Is no official suggestion of any neces-
sity for curtailing use Of passenger
cars on Sunday or any other day, nor
the issuance of gasoline cards to limit
the amount to be sold to each indi-
vdual owner
War interests will come first, but
as Mr.. Requa indicates, with rational
conservation by the public, there
should b eample for general needs
Mr.. Robertson says the production
of gasoline in 1917 was $4,000, 900 bar
rels, of forty-two galloons each. The
first quarter of this year the produc-
tion was 17,3s4,0O0 barrels. as against
13,700,000 barrels for the same period
Of 1917. on April l there were 12,-
100000 barrels of gasoline in storage.
Every motorist should conserve gas
oline in every way. The following
methods are suggested
Do not use gasoline for cleaning me-
cnanlCal pdFtS.
Studiously avoid leakages and evap-
Grafton.
Do not let engine run when car is
standing.
Have carburetor adjusted to give
largest possible mileage per gallon.
Adjust brake bands so they do not
drag: keep all bearings we'll lubricat-
ed and tires fully inflated.
Keen zparlS pIupo oJaap ba,,o low;
ton correctly timed and drive with
spark well advanced.
Do not accelerate and stop quickly;
avoid high speed; stop engine and
coast long hills.
Avoid aimless and unnecessary use
or cars; do a number of errands on
errands in one trip; carry purchases
home In the car to reduce purchases
by stores.
Combine with neighbors and friends
in use of cars.

TROOPS
ENTERTAINED At
LONDON THEATER
War is Promoting a Good Un-
derstanding Between the
Two Countries, Admiral
Sims Tells the Audience.

Isy MORNING JouRhAL SPECIAL LEASED w,aEl
London, July f.-All American
troops in the London district were
entertained at the Palace theater
Sunday evening. Addresses were
made by Vice Admiral Sims and 7. j.
MacNamara, parliamentary secretary
to the admiralty.
"The war is promoting a good un-
dersta ndng between the two coun-
tries" said Admiral Sims. "The Brit
ish people have not always understood
us perfectly and the same is true of
what we knew about the British, but
we now believe the Britisher is pret-
ty good fellow"
Posterity, said Mr. MacNamara,
would declare that the determination
of the American people to draw the
sword overwhelmingly wrote the
word guilty against Germany.
America came into the struggle with
profound and simple purposes. Her
soldiers were the new crusaders.
"The lights of liberty" he added,
will be burning more brightly when
her soldiers leave us than when they
came.
"The rulers of Germany believed
the submarine would finish this coun-
try before America could get going
and it was announced to the reichstag
seventeen months ago that the sub
marine would be the means of swift
victory History will record Ger
manys barbarism and desperate mis-
calculations. The submarine has not
given Germany swift victory. 1t will
not give her victory at all. Between
Great Britain and America has been
created a covenant standing for JUS
tice, freedom and immunity from all
the horrors of war and the dreadful
consequences of lust of conquest and
power"

Washington. July L.. Steps to ex-
pediate construction of the remaining
forty eight vessels, including battle
cruisers and uperdreadnaughts, OF
the 1856 authorized in the three-year
naval building program, approved by
congress two years ago, already have
been taken by the navy department.
This was disclosed tonight by Sec
retary Daniels in Il statement review
ing the provisions of the $l,600,OO0,-
900 naval appropriation bill recently
passed by congress and to which
President Wilson today attached his
signature.
''The bills" said the secretary,
"makes it obligatory to begin con-
struction of all of the forty-eght yes
sells of the 1856 vessels comprising the
three-year program, authorized in the
act of August 26, 1916, the construc-
ton of which has not previously spe-
officially been directed to be begun.

execution of this program and have
regretted that lack Of facilities due to
the big demand for destroyers, trans
ports and cargo ships rendered II nee

progress that was being made. How
ever / requested that tho act be
worded in this mandatory way, for 1t
is my earnest desire and expectation
to carry 1t out and | have already
taken steps TO expedite construction
as much as ppossible.
Money for Additional Vessels.
Money is not only provided for
completing the big three-year pro-
gram. but an additional $100000,000
is made available for additional tor
pedo boat destroyers, submarine chas-
ers, and other naval craft as the exi-
gencies of the war make make nec-
essary.
THE outstanding feature of the
bill is the permanent increase in the
enlisted strength from 81 600 to 49,
ASS men. Many new ships have been
permanently added to the fleet and
many more will be commanded in
1919. and this increase in PERSONAL
to provide the officers and crews for
these permanent additions.
THE bill authorizes an increase to
75,500 in the marine corps from 30,-
900. There are no better fighting men
in the world than the marines as re-
cent events in France have empha-
sized. and congress wisely provided
for an Increase III numbers and for
increased training stations where men

London, July IA German sub
marine, seventy miles from the Irish
coast on the night of June 81
torpedoed the IL ,000-ton hospital ship
Llandovery Castle, chartered by the
Canadian government and in the serv-
ice of carrying wounded and sick from
England to Canada. The ship was
then on her way to England She had
on board 25S persons. eighty men OF
the Canadian medical corps and four
teen women nurses.
,s Only twenty-four, including the
scapIain, are: repnrted@ saved. The at
tack was Without warning.
The submarine commander, who
: ordered the captain, several of his Of
ficers and Major Lyon of the medical
corps aboard, said he sank the ship
because she was carrying American
aviation officers and others in the
fighting service of the allies. He ad-
ded later that the vessel was carry
ing munition stores, because of an ex-
plosion which occurred aft.
All Lights Were Burning.
All lights were burning when the
Llandovery Castle was torpedoed.
These included a huge electric cross
over the bridge and strings of white
and green lights on either side. The
red crosses on the sides of the vessel
were illuminated.
According to Red Cross informa-
tion many were killed in the engine
room. There Is hardly any doubt Of
this, as there was no response to Cap
tain Sylvester's signals from the
Fridge after the torpedo struck. As
the enginemen were either killed or
left their posts, there was no one to
shut off the power, and the ship kept
on her way, Notwithstanding the
great holes torn by the torpedo, now
beginning TO slow down until the wa
ter rushed into the boiler room, ex-
tinguishing the fires.
This added to the confusion in
launching the lifeboats. There was
no panic. BY the time the ship lost
ner momentum most of the boats
were over the side. Many were una
bic to reach the boats. and the ship
was sinking rapidly. They jumped
INTO the sea and a few We're picked
up.
