ON The WAR SITUATION

number of flying machines, whose
motors are driven by, benzine, also to
the augmenting use of motors and
technical oils in war industries.
''In addition, future consignments
from Austria are to be smaller. -
import of petroleum to Germany is
to be brought down to $40 wagons
month; that of oil fuel to 1000 wag-
ons. No alterations on the present
figures have been made in the new
contract as regards lubricating oil and
paraffin consignments.
For these reasons the consur1p-
ton of petroleum in Germany will
have to be considerably restricted this
autumn and winter. Trade petrole-
UNI. e., those quantities of petre-
leum placed at the disposal of the
trade-must be materially limited
The so-called compensation petroleum
neutrality-suspicious., on the other
hand, can be obtained in the same
quantities as last year from the State
central authorities for the specially
urgent requirements of farmers and
IEomeworkers, as well as for unforeseen
purposes.
These explanations, although they
can not in any way abate the hard
ships which must arise through lack
of lighting oil, especially in poor fam
lilies, will, at any rate, serve to show
that the petroleum shortage is not
due to the good or bad will of the
authorities, but is war necessity
which can not at present be altered

RESTRICTED CONSUMPTION
OF PETROLEUM

The Braunschweiger Volkesfreund
(Sept. 28) publishes a statement by
petroleum expert on the necessity for
restricting the petroleum consumption
of the civil population in Germany
on the following war-economic
grounds:
1.-The government has controlled the
rationing of petroleum admirably
from the start, has prevented hoard
ing and profiteering, and has, while
avoiding direct compulsion, organized
the production of oil fuel and lubri-
eating oil for war purposes most strin-
gently. Conditions have meanwhile
altered, Even now that the Galician
oil wells have been liberated and good
progress has been made in reviving
the extraction of Roumanian crude oil
which can fairly easily be made into
a number of products, the chief of
which are benzine, heavy benzine, tur-
pentine substitute, lighting oil, motor
oil. oil fuel, and lubricating oil, ac-
count must be taken of the increasing
demand for benzine, motor oil, oil fuel
and lubricating oil for war purposes
Consequently very little lighting oil
can be obtained. 1t suffices to point
to the U boats and to the increasing

PROVISIONS OF THE NEW
CLOTHING ORDER

The Vienna Zeit of September 25
says that the expected introduction of
clothing cards in Vienna is now an
accomplished fact. The new card is
actually called a supply voucher"
but the object is the same; without
an official voucher no article. of cloth
ing can be bought This includes I'M
derclothing and spun ana woven
goods.
1.-THE aim of the clothing order is
to provide for the urgent needs of the
poorest classes. With this object,
clothing supplies are to be regulated
for all classes, in order to insure sup
plies of peoples clothing so far as
this can be done with regard to other
necessities, especially the needs of the
army.
"As long ago as the beginning of
the year the cotton and wool centrals
arranged for the classification of all
procurable supplies of clothing. Both
centrals were instructed to have new
goods made up for popular use, ac-
cording to the available quantities of
raw material. These articles, togeth-
er with the old clothes collected at
the depots established by the Crown
land authorities, will form the basis
of the peoples clothing supplies,
which can only be obtained on pro-
duction of the supply, voucher"
The Bridgeport times and evening farmer. (Bridgeport, Conn.) 1918-1924, 1918-01-21
AMERICAN CHURCHES AND
THE WAR SPIRIT

A recent number Of the Berlin
weekly, Deutsche Politik, contains an
article by Prof. Deissmann on 1.-The
war manifesto of the American
churches" in which he comments up
on the length of time it has taken the
Federal Council of the Churches of
Christ in America" to issue state
raent concerning the war. In the per-
iod Immediately before the breaking
off of diplomatic re! atoms ht tween
the United States and Germany the
vast majority of the churches, ac-
cording to DIR. Deissmann, were far
more eager for world peace than for
having America entangled in the war.
"Only about 70 churchmen signed
manifesto melting to war which was
circulated in religious circles toward
the end of 1916 and the beginning of
1917, whereas 700 of the most emin
ent leaders Of Christianity bishops,
I rofessors, newspaper editors, heads
o: the big religious and social organ
izations, and prominent 1aymen) took
part in sort of counter manifesto
inclining toward peace. Not until more
| than four weeks after Wilson's dec
laration of war did the Federal Coun-
Gil raise its voice"
| DR.. Deissman alleges that wide
spread opposition not only to this par
ticular war, but to war in general,
exists in America. He emphasizes the
curious contradiction to be found in
! the fact that the manifesto, which ar
IDENTIFY champions freedom of con-
science approves of a war whose
purpose it is forcibly and with blood
shed to rob a nation of 100000
PEOPLE of political freedom of con-
science and the independents ana
peaceable development of its own
form of government. Will not the
enlightened leaders of the Federal
Council soon themselves see the abb
surdity of Disgusting tyrannfcal and
autocratic catcnword in a democratic
form?"
Still he finds that the manifesto,
taken as a whole, does not make an
unfavorable impression. 1t shows that
American churchmen have learned
| during the course of the war much
which was hidden from European
Christians at it's beginning and which
is still hidden from them in part. In
conclusion he emphasizes the 1act Inat
although the declaration of the Fed
eral Council contains "typically An
glo-Saxon opinions which Germans
must repudiate it emanates after all
from persons who show a conciliatory
tendency, and that if Germans will
read it without passion it will only
serve to strengthen their own inner
convictions"
