Liquid Fuel Is Needed Supply Additional Power for War w.

Europe to supplement those Of our
allies. They say that four tons of
material must be shipped for every
soldier transported. In France most
of the transportation must be done
by motor lorries. When our army is
fully equipped some $4,000 motor lor-
ries will be required. These will re-
quire gasolene and lubricating oil in
large quantities.
Our government is building at the
greatest possible speed merchant
ships and men-of-war. We have ap-
propriated hundreds Of millions of
dollars for the gigantic task before
us. These ships will call for fuel oil,
lubricating oil and gasolene to an ex-
tent beyond tiny precedent.
To protect our coast against SUBJ
marines our navy has created a mos
quito feet, consisting in a large
measure Of motor boats. There are
thousands Of motor boats operated in
American waters, although, Of course,
not all are for purposes of national
defence. The operation of every
such vessel, whether for pleasure or
for strategic purposes, calls for
continuous supply of gasolene and
other gas petroleum products.
Our allies, too, are calling for oil
in all its forms in ever-increasing
quantities. In 1915 this country cx-
ported about 100000 barrels Of
gasolene, whereas in 1916 100000
barrels were sent abroad.
Munition cars, ambulances and
self-moving vehicles of every kind
are increasing daily in the theatre of
war, and the prospect is that the
present year will call for 100000
barrels Of gasolene for the use of our
allies in Europe.
Our allies also look to US for the
bulk of their supply of fuel oil and
petroleum products oiFevery form
for their armies. Wifi the Galician
and Rumanian fields in Europe in the
hands of the Central Powers and
with the available supply Of Mexican
oil reduced by reason of the shortage
of shipping tonnage, the United
States is the largest and nearest
source of supply for oil in all its
forms, which is so absolutely neces-
sary to win this war.
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1918-01-06
Automobiles the
Greatest Consumers


The biggest and most important
drain on the gasolene supply comes
from the automobile. At the present
time the number of automobiles IN
operation is estimated at 3.5OO.OOO
TO 100000. Assuming that the
average consumption per car is from
eight to ten barrels a year, this win
require 100000 barrels of gaso-
lene alone. This applies to the cars
driven here at home. Looking
abroad we find Europe importing in
creasing quantities of gasolene from
this country. In 1916 our exports
were 100000 barrels. Last wear
they jumped to 100000 barrels. In
the current year it is safe to say
that the export of gasolene will run
ahead of last year by a substantial
margin.
Motor boats create another impor-
tant demand on gasolene supplies
-AA' S0e4AiiaC C PldCcS Inc NUMBER OF
motor boats in use in this country
curing the summer months at
100000. If they average barrel
OF gasolene year, which is mo<aest
allowance, the total consumption
here will approximate 100000 bar
rels. The cleaning and dyeing in
dustry is said to consume about
100000 barrels a year. The air
plane industry SO far has not been
much of a factor in gasolene con-
sumption, but as soon as the Ameri-
can air fleets begin to get into ac
ton in Europe the demand from
this quarter will assume much great
er Importance.
Gasoline is absolutely essential to
our present industrial progress. To
meet the demand the refining indus
try is working night and day find
ing new methods whereby a larger
percentage Of gasolene can be OBJ
tanned from the crude petroleum.
Numerous processes have been IN
vented durinS The past three years
