That production in the Healdton
field is falling off rapidly is due
largely to the scarcity of labor. So
many oI-6eld workers have gone
into the army that it has been i'm
possible to fill their places even with
green hands; and then, too, there is
the added handicap of scarcity of
material. The supply of water for
drilling purposes is getting low,
especially where surface water is
depended on. Nor does the condi
ton in the Gushing field seem to
be any better in these respects.
Little new production is being de-
veloped in the Healdton field proper
and many of the old wells have fall
en- off to an alarming extent. In the
Wheeler field the old wells, those
that have ibeen producing for yearj,
are holding up, some OF them, it is
said, doing even better than the in
itial production. Whether this is
due to better care of the wells or to
some peculiarly OF the field is a
matter of opinion, but the fact re-
mains that while the Wheeler field
wells are not large producers, the
production is constant and appar-
emily permanent.
Just what the Fox field will de-
velop into is somewhat problemati-
cal, but recent operations in the |
vicinity OF Graham are causing that
territory to be looked upon with |
much favor. In fact, the entire |
country from Graham to the "a,
even to the 2-5 country, is looking .
more promising, and with better
condition in regard to labor and
material a field may be developed
there that will outdo the Healdton
field in its palmiest days.
The success that has met opera
tions in sections "a and Is 2s4w is
remarkable; no dry holes having
been drilled in either section. Now
locations are being made in sections
e and Is, where drilling will soon
be begun, and these operations will
be watched with interest.
The Cushing Healdton Oil and
Gas Company of Oklahoma City has
blocked about 200 acres short dis
taace north of Tatums and an
nounce that test will be started in
section ls2w as soon as a drilling
can be made. 1t is in this
section that oil and gas was en-
in drilling a water well
about two months ago. Z

COMPLETE: CAPITULATION

PAR1S. October 2i.-Conferences of
transcendent Importance are now be-
ing held between the allied leaders
Public oninion is apparently crystallis-
ing as follows:
only complete capitulation will be
Suhicient rs guarantee from the pres
cnt German authorities.
The ambiguity of the German situa-
ton is such that the armistice proposi-
ton has not yet been submitted TO Foch
and the other allied generals. 1t is
likely that t,is fact will form the
main contents Of the reply To be sent
by the entente powers TO President
wilson The complete accord between
the allies and the American executive
is emphasized everywhere
President Wilson's note to Germany
WAS received here at noon. The news
naper L'Heurc was the first to COM
ment on it, saying:
Tho rude frankness Of the note is
especially admirable. The note assures
The Safeguarding Of the fruits OF VIC
tory. President Wilson still considers
the Gi,"man authorities themselves un-
qualified to make peace"
The Presidents message created "A
sensation in tho cafes and on the bouie-
Yards: in fact. in all quarters. high and
pressed that the note meant weak
ening Of the Presidents attitude, but
the final paragraphs allayed this
anxiety and brought cheer TO the pco-
pie Of Paris.
The note puts ii up to Marshal Foch
TO Formulate the armistice conditions.
and to the allies to proclaim them"

Germany must say yes or no "

London Declares Language Strongest
Ever Addressed to Head or One
Great Nation to Another in Mod

Ips Associated press. !

LONDON. October 24.-The popular
comment on the Presidents note here
is that IL contains the strongest Ian
guase ever addressed by the head of
one nation to another in modern times.
The note is welcomed. first. because
it hrnEs matters to a new state: fur
thcr proceedings. If there are to be
further proceedings. will be in the
hands OF all the governments inter
ested. Hitherto, so far as the public
knows. the nations associated with the
United States. and which have more at
stake. perhaps. than has the United
States, have been onlookers to the cor
resoondcncc.
The note is welcomed. secondly. be-
cause il promises to bring the season
of discussion to an end altogether, one
way or the other. No one sees how
the German Chancellor, Prince Maxi
milan. can fail either to accept Presi-
dent Wilson's PLATFORM or reject IT,
Acceptancc will be taken to mean tina {
the Germans regard their position as
homeless and that disaster is Imminent
The general opinion is that Ger
manEs military position is not SO bad
but that her leaders will fight on, If
only with the hope of creating divisions
among the allies, which has been Ger
manys reliance of late.
