STRIKE new OIL SAND
Famous Towanda Pool in Butler
County Takes Another Squirt

Wichita, May 25.-From the per-
Torrance the last week of the Enyart
lease in the Towanda pool of Butler
county, the famous Shumway quarter
will soon be surpassed in production
in the opinion of oil men. During the
last four days the Empire Gas & Fuel
Co. has brought in three great wells.
each of which is better than 1000 bar
rels. The last, No. %, came in with
an estimated production of 1900
barrels.
The added production of the En-
yart lease has shot up the production
of the Henry L. Doherty Co. to fig
ures never before attained in the Mid
Continent field in one single pool by
one company.
In this section was the Trapshooter,
the Carter and the Carday leases. The
Enyart has just begun to be developed.
The Empire has approximately 400
acres in this lease alone.
The Revert Oil Co. on the school
house lease in section IL has a gusher,
too From all indications the COM
pany has struck the same prolific sand
as Enyart 80, which is a few yards to
the northeast Four thousand barrels
is placed as a conservative estimate on
its production.

THEY WAR ON KIN

Most of Them Were in America
Before War.

Rome, May 25.-Twenty thousand
Czeco-Slovak soldiers, who formerly
lived in the United States, ars now
serving in the Italian army, according
to statement by the newspaper
Roma today. Zone of the most sig
nificant features of the celebration of
the third anniversary of Italy's en-
trance into the war was the presenta-
ton of a flag to the CZeco-Slovak
battalion" the Roma said, thus con-
tributing to the fulfillment of Italy's
pledge to aid the oppressed rationale
ties under the Austrian yoke in re-
gaining their liberty.
Mostly From America.
Twenty thousand Czeco-Slovaks
from the United States, where they
left good positions to volunteer, are
now serving in the Italian army. The
presence of these we'll organized and
numerous corps places the Austrians
in grave embarrassment, not only be-
cause of their military value, but be-
cause the enemy is now obliged to
carefully sift all units containing
Czzeco-Slovaks before sending them
to the front, where they might meet
their fellow countrymen.'
