the past month.
The navy men, who were about to
be replaced by a republican soldier

PARIS, France, December 22.-
Definite results following the Czech
Slovak appeals for allied intervention
in the solution of the controversy
with the Hugarians over Slovak ter
ritory in order to check the reign of
terror and bloodshed have beef Sc
cured.
M. Benes. foreign minister of the
Czecho-Slovak republic who is in
Paris. made the announcement to me.
Gen. Franchet d'Esperey, commander
OF the allied forces in the east, has
ordered the Hungarians to evacuate
Slovakla and put an end to blood
shed and terror. This action was
taken by direction of Premier Glenn
enceau in accordance with the de-
cision of the allies.
1t is the understanding between
the allies and the Czecho-SIovak gov
eminent that pending the final de-
cisions of the peace conference all
measures necessary to maintain or
Minister Srodar has been given full
power and authority to administer
Slovakia in accordance with the ex-
press demand of the Slovak deputies.
This status has been established
without prejudice to the final ar
rangement of the final program at
the peace conference.
The Hungarians are obeying the
orders Of the allied general. causing
joy to the Czecho-Slovak government
officials and also to the people. New
trouble is confronting the Czecho-
Slovak government, according to Min
lister Benes, because the Vienna gov
eminent is violating the armistice by
sending arms and ammunition con-
stantly into the northern parts of 30
hernia for arming the German popu-
lation therein and also for trying sys-
tematically to foster bolshevism.
though without success up to this
time. NJ. Benes is preparing a pro-
test to the allies on this subject

minister, who was accused last July
of Germanophile leanings, has been
obliged to leave Paris, according to

believed to be unnecessary. Prof

Paris four days.
Prof. Paul N. Mflukoff for many
years has been one of the most
prominent liberal leaders in Russia.
He has been the leader of the consti-
portant part in the revolution of
March. 1917, and was appointed for
eign minister in the first revolution
airy cabinet, retaining that position
until May 16, 1917. Since the over
throw of the Kerensky regime there
have been various reports Of counter
movements against the bolshevik
government headed by him.
Last July there were repeated re-
ports that he had joined the Germans,
but this was denied by his friends in
allied and neutral countries. He ar
rived in Constantinople from Odessa
December Is, and in statement
urged that an allied army be sent
to southern Russia. From Con-
stantinople he went to Paris.

SILESIAN MINERS STRIKE,
INCITED BY AGITATOR
Rhenish Westphalian Coal Fields
Also Partly Paralyzed by Walk
out of Workers.

BERLIN. Monday, December % (by
the Associated Press).-New strikes
have broken out in the Silesian coal
field, as a result of agitation carried
on by agents of DR.. Liebknecht,
radical socialist leader, the Tageblatt
.ays it is informed. The agents
succeeded in inducing the miners to
repudiate the recent agreement with
the mine owners. New demands, with
the condition that they be accepted
at once, were refused by the owners
and five of the leading mines shut
down. The present Silesian output
Is half the normal yield
The Rkenish Westphalian coal
fclds also are partly paralyzed by
strike, which has cut down the usual
output one-third.
The socialist Vorwaerts declares that
he entire industrial activity of Sax
onv will be crippled within fourteen
1ays unless more coal is assured. In
-.oyember the coal shortage in Saxony
mounted to $4,000 tons. The De-
,.ar,ber supply, it is declared, will
show a greater decrease.

PEACE TO PUSH OIL AND
GASOLINE INDUSTRIES

DALLAS, Tex, December 25.-Big
oil producers of the southwest pre-
dict that peace will bring increased
prediction and increased consump-
ton of fuel oil, lubricatinG oil and
gasoline.
They declare that to meet specifzi-
tons for high-grade fuel oil for ad-
miralty purposes it was necessary to
refine much crude oil under wasteful
conditions, which will not obtain in
| the future.
/ Increased consumption. producers
say. will result from neutral markets
replenishing their stocks, from more
general use of motor cars in Euro
pean countries that have been at war
and from the use in Great Britain,
France and Italy of thousands OF
motor lorries, now in the war zone. as
auxiliary systems of overworked rail-
ways.
Vast Output to Meet Demands.
But this increased demand will be
more than offset by increased produc-
tion. officers Of the large Texas COM
north Texas field now is $4,000 bar
rels a day. the gulf field is producing
6S. 900 barrels. the Kansas fields $4,000
barrels, the Oklahoma fields, outside
of Cushing and Healton. $4,000. the
Cushing, 44,500, and the Healton, A.
500. The Texas figures show an in
crease, over figures for the quarter
ending September 80, which gave the
total production as 9.S44,S14 barrels.
valued at s1S.O91.249. This was an in
crease of more than a million barrels
over the June quarter and two million
over the March quarter.
Experts here say the Mexican fields
alone have a potential production of
/ .O0O, 900 barrels a day.
Producers predict that with the ex-
tension of the oil fields oil stations
will be established at ports through
out the world and permit of further
adoption by ships Of oil-burning
power systems.

SEATTLE, December 24.-Charles
