From the Adige to the Adriatc
the Austrian army descends into
the field against Italy. All the
forces and all the material OF the
monarchy are for the first time
massed against one single enemy
rs the outcome of preparation be-
ginning many months ago. To-
morrow the Italian command will
learn this tremendous news from
the mouths OF our guns, The en-
tire Italian front will be attacked
and to free himself from our iron
grip that will encircle his whole
front, the enemy would be obliged
10 engage reserves far vaster than
those at his disposal From trench
warfare we shall pass TO that OF
movement and we shall occupy
country abounding in victuals and
stores of every sort Let us, there

War Largely Depends Upon
the Energetic Prosecution of the Oil Business

Our government and its allies are almost entirely
dependent On the American supply OF crude oil Okla
homa produces the greatest supply Of the grade Of
crude oil most desired by the government Most Of the
battleshps and cruisers Of our own government and
our allies use oil for fuel The same true of the
great fleet Of destroyers which are so effective against
the German submarine. The mosquito fleet which so
teaousy guards our shores depends almost entirely
upon our supply Of gasoline for fuel THEREFORE
OIL is ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT FAC
TORS IN PREVENTING THE GERMANS FROM
CARRYING THE WAR INTO AMERICA. In France
the allied troops moved to and from the baefieds
IN motors demanding large supplies of gasoline The
huge tanks OF our allies, the British use gasoline
Everyone knows that the supremacy of the allies in the
air IS almost entirely due to the superior grade of
gasoline which America Is able to furnish A large
and constant supply of lubricants is indispensable to
the factories making guns and munitions and TO the
factories making machines and tools for the manufac
ture OF guns and munitions The winning of the great
war and therefore the perpetuaton of our liberties in
America depends primarily on four things: First man
power second food; third munitions and fourth
fuel the latter including oil as one of its most indis
pensable elements. 1T IS UP TO THE OKLAHOMA
OIL PRODUCERS TO HAZARD ALL THEIR CAP

The old Austria Of the 1867 constitu-

People in Berlia must clearly recognize
that this contracting party to the old

one of the greatest events recorded in

placed the blood and all the power of

tory will also tell how you have sought
to realize the imperishable supremacy
of right by means of an association of
peoples which should liberate the
world"

university professors for the unfailing
sympathy they have shown for France,
and also to the American students
who in such great numbers came to
fight beside their French student COM
rades.

Idaho republican, that there was
some mystery about changed attitude
of republicans on the BILL caused evil
dent surprise among both factions.
After the finance committee had adopt
ed the 1920 plan, Senator Borah said
republican leaders threatened to fill

Soon after, he added, they suddenly
changed front" and proposed prompt
enactment.
Senator Penrose replied that at first
many republicans were disposed to de-
feat the bill, but finally agreed that as
the government needed the money, Its
prompt passage was desirable.
During the debate there were repub-
lican predictions that an extra session
of congress was inevitable.
