How Pennsylvania Met the
War Demand for Gasoline

Pennsylvania is the mother-state of petroleum.
Though the md-contnent fields yield more
'crude, the keystone State leader in sup
plying the needs of gasoline.
War needs developed three standard grades of
gasoline The highest grade> used by the pow
erful aeroplanes for combat purposes and to reach
the highest attitudes, is known as Fighting"
Gasoline. The second grade known as ''Avation"
Gasoline is used for aeroplane engines employed
in less exactng work. The third grade is termed
Motor" Gasoline and is used chiefly for motor
transport needs
The quantities of gasoline transferred overseas
by vessels clearing from the Delaware River ports
supplied our army and our allies with practically
all of the "Fightng" Gasoline, with about one
half of all the Aviation Gasoline and with
about one-third of all the Motor Gasoline shipped
from this country.
The patriotism of the automobists of Pennsyl-
vania, through their voluntary conservation, made
it possible for Atlantic Gasoline to meet the needs
for superfuel- the powerful Fighting Gasoline,
to form the backbone of the supply of Aviation"
Gasoline and to insure an adequate supply of
Motor" Gasoline for the fighting forces.

THREE DIE UNDER AUTO
Sole Survivor of Party Says Fire
Occurred Too Quickly for the In
jured Trio to Escape.

Pleasantville, N. j., May 4.-Miss
Veleta Bowen, 26 years old, Philadel-
phia; William Wagner, of Camden,
and another Camden man known here
only as 3d." were killed and their
bodies burned to a crisp last night,
when a touring car turned over at
Dead Mans Curve, on the White Horse
pike, about two miles above Absecon.
Miss Mary Bowen, is, as sister of the
dead woman, living at the same adj
dress, escaped and crawled some dis
lance along the road, until she was
picked up by another automobile party
and taken into Absecon, where her in
iuries, of slight nature, were dressed.
According to Miss Bowen, the four
left Philadelphia in Wagner's car yes
terday afternoon at o'clock to go to
Atlantic City to spend the weekend.
They were running at high speed, and
she claims that another car came up
in their rear and caused their machine
to go to one side. It skidded into
field of brush, turned over and pinned
the three beneath it. They were so
badly injured they could not get out
before the gasoline tank exploded and
set fire to the machine, which was en-
tirely destroyed, with the bodies. Sew
eral automobiles came by and the oc-
cupants tried to eXtinguish the flames,
but were unsuccessful. Nearby woods
were set on fire, and the fire depart
ments of Absecon and Pleasantvillc
were summoned.

The negro compositors in the Gov
eminent printing plant of the Panama
Canal Zone have a passion for capital
letters which has seriously annoyed
their American foreman. Once, when
General Goethals was still in charge
at Panama, the foreman returned a
marked proof to a colored printer for
correction and said to HIM:

GERMANY'S MAN POWER.
Allies Determined Tuetons Will Bleed
White When America Fully Ready.

What is regarded in military circles
as close and accurate estimate
;laces the present fighting strength OF
Germany on all fronts, at training
depots, and in reserve at 6:OOO,ooo
men.
Commenting on the man-power Sit
uation, one of the best Informed OF
the foreign military experts stationed
now in Washington said that Ger
many was still withdrawing troops
from the Russian front, in desperate
efforts to fill the gaps that the allies
are constantly making in the Ger
man lines on the western front.
At the present rate at which the
German casualties are piling up, the
prediction is made that ultimately all
the replacement reserves that Hin
denburg has will be thrown into the
western carnage.
Wish considerations of this kind be-
fore it, the Interallied War Confer
ence, which has just adjourned at
Paris, it is indicated in authoritative
quarters has decided against any ac-
ton by the allies in the way OF a
counter offensive.
Gen. Foch, the indications are, will
be instructed to waste neither men
nor material in such an offensive.
The policy, for the present, at least,
it is declared, will be to stand firm
and let the attacking enemy exhaust
its strength in its repeated and costly
efforts to ,pierce the allies line.
"The principal object now,' it was
explained, "is to kill just as many
Germans as it is possible to kill. Mat
tiers of territory ARE of secondary con-
.sideration."
Germany, in short, is to be allowed
to bleed herself white. AT the rate
;at which American reinforcements are
being and will continue to be sent to
the front, it was declared, the hope
,of Berlin that France and Great Brit
lain would be exhausted before effec-
tive American aid could arrive is a
vain one.
