SERIOUS SHORTAGE CRUDE OIL NOTED
 BY MINES BUREAU
By The Associated Press


 Washington, Sept. 23- Serious shortage in the supply of crude oil is noted in report by the bureau of mines, compiled in response to a sen- ate resolution and made public to- night.
 Insufficient crude oil to supply re- fineries is being produced, the reports shows, while gasoline stocks have been reduced to two or three weeks supply, necessitating continued con- servaticn by the public. The report will be transmitted tomorrow to the senate.
 "The need for conservation is ap- parent" the report declares, land and American people should voluntarily fofego the pleasure of needless auto mobile touring during these times.
 "Such voluntary conservation now have not the necessity of more ser ious action later.
 "Furthermore every step should be taken by the people and by their rep resentative not only to conserve our present supply of gasoline, but also IS possible to increase our future SUD- ply and the supply of the crude oil from which gasoline si made"
 The report shows the production of gasoline last January was 5,5SO, 900 barrels, in July it was 100000 bar rels, and in August S,000,000 barrels.
 In July there was decrease of l. 63O,O0O barrels in stock while last month this decrease was estimated at 100000 barrels, showing that pro- duction is not keeping pace with con- sumption.

WILHELM'S GREAT MISTAKE.


 When Kaiser Wilhelm Hohenzollern throws up his blood-driping hands, he will confess to having committed his- tory's most horrible and disastrous blunder.
 < \ tt was one time believed character istic of kultur to make nc false move.
 Before blazing a trail of his own, the HUN bisceted, dissected and vivis- ected the work along similar lines previously done by pioneers of pro- gress everywhere. He rode free on the other fellows dearly bought tick ct of experience.
 In this manner, German so-called efficiency seldom made a misstep.
 But the HUN under his years of caution, calculation and kultur when he entered upon war of terrorism by atrocity.
 He reverted to fallacious medic val practice. He chose course based on failure He precipitated the calam- ity now upon him.
 Each successive upspeakabe out rage did not cause the world to shud- der, quake and tremble. It increased humanity's RESISTANCE till now it overwhelms and is slowly crushing out of the HUN the price of his mistake

TRY TT YOURSELF.

We know this is contrary to all the established ideas but this is our eX- pericnce.
 The married men, men in the late thirties and early forties, practically without exception arc eager to go to the front.
 Try it out. Take half dozen fam lily men; men who have been stabled in the stalls of domesticity until you would have thought the smell of the world pasture had passed from their nostrils; ask them if they want to go to the front and see what they say.
 We discover more eagnerness in the men over 35 than we do in the newly weds, in the unwedded, and in the budding youth who have their first jcb, their first girl and their first flivver.
 These older men do not want cleri- cal jobs, they are not eager for staff appointments, comfortable billets; they scorn to replace younger men in commercial chores, but they, every last one of them, want to get Over There, and the nearer to the front the better.
 The list of volunteers for the tank corps proves this.
 But you can prove it for yourself some afternoon.
 Whats the answer?
 G'wan, we're married ourselves. W & S-

bow to the request. but Jack strong
ly points out that Secretary Baker
as much as advised the leagues to

get his opportunity to fight for the
continuance of the league next Thurs
day night, at which time, a meeting
OF the new International has been
casted by President Farrell, to take
place at the Hotel Biltmore, New

Farrell did not set the time until

the New International is now the

VIII Reach Decision Baseball Status AZ
Umpires Did Not
Jump League Ball

New York. July 1.-Evans and
Hildebrand, the two regular Ameri-
can League umpires, failed to
show up at the Polo Grounds to-
day, and two substitutes. Mike
Donlon and Bierhaiter, had to be
employed. The absence of the two
regulars led TO the report that
American League umpires had
gone on a strike. but investiga-
ton tonight shows that their fall
ure to appear was probably due to
a misunderstanding.
According to information avail
able, Evans and Hildebrand receiv-
ed word Saturday night that the
American League season was to
close at once, and accordingly
they packed their uniforms and
departed for their homes.
