America produces more oil than all

OIL Is needed as lubricant for all the

Its uses are so varied and so vital,
indeed, that oil constitutes another Of
those commodities without which the
war could not be won.

NORMANDY Will DIG
UP iron ORE BEDS
Development Of Deposits Expect
ed to Enrich French District

French Front, March 80 (Corre.
spondence Of The Associated Press)-
Normandy is believed to be destined
20 become one of the great centers
or French industrial activity as soon
as hostilities have ceased One met
allurglcal company, working under
the auspices of the French govern
ment, already has taken the matter
IN hand, and is constructing a large
series of blast-furnaces to turn into
steel the immense layers of iron ore
found in Lower Normandy.
Just before the war the whole re-
gion with its mineral wealth was in
danger Of falling into the hands of
the Germans, as Thyssen. one Of the
German steel kings, had acquired the
Soumont mine, about hfteon miles
from Caen, with the intention Of
working it in connection with blast
furnaces he proposed to construct in
the vicinity Of that city. His idea
was to furnish coal from his West
phalian mines, and to obtain iron ore
for the German blast furnaces along
the Rhine.
1hyssen was unable to obtain a
concession for the construction Of
railroad from the mine TO the port
of Caen except on the condition of
uniting his interests to those Of Il
French company. This condition
was accepted and a company was
formed which at the end of 1912
started important works on the right
bank of the River Orne.
Ten million dollars had been ex-
pended when the work was interrupt
ed by the war and the part belonging
to Thyssen sequestered. Tho French
government thereupon. in view Of the
great demand for cast iron and steel
for the purposes of the army, decided
to step in and hasten the construc-
ton of the works. The two great
national armament works, Creusct
and Saint Chamond, interested them
selves in the project and established
a new company, which now has
works covering more than LOO acres
near Caen.
A railroad has been laid connecting
the works with the Soumont ore
mines, Is miles distant. From these
mines it is expected iron ore will be
obtainable for an indefinite period,
while coal will be brought from Eng
land for the present and later from
the northern departm ents of France
and from Belgium by canal Sink
ings are also in progress for the dis
covery of the prolongation Of the
English coal-layers.
The works are now employed on
munitions for the French army, but
as soon as the war has terminated
they are to be utilized to turn the
district into a gigantic steel works
and transform the province into an
industrial centre.

England Press Reports Noticing

London, April 10 Correspondence
of The Associated Press) Crews OF
the German submarines are down
hearted and often extremely nervous.
British seamen whose vessels have
been torpedoed and who have thus
had an opportunity to observe the
Germans bear testimony to this fact.
In the official records of the subma-
rine war, says the Manchester Guard
ian, again and again the submarine
crews are described as very de-
pressed" or very nervous" Here Is
one descriptions:
Master and crew all agree and
were very much struck by the pallid
appearance of the officers and crew of
the submarine and by their nervous
and excited manner. The captain Of
the submarine was continually urging
haste and the officer who was placing
the bombs could hardly hold them
from the condition Of nervous tension
in which he appeared to be-

was over. In many cases the Germans
tried to justify themselves Or excuse

BUSINESS of the German fighting sys-
tenn, but they are all mild compared
with the classic story of German
bestiality, as in the case Of the Bel

Is CASES in CITY
Spanish Influenza Is Spreading
Slowly in Topeka.
DR.. Clark Says Every Precau-
tion Is Necessary.

Spanish influenza has developed a
hold on Topeka. Thirteen new cases
were reported prevalent in the city on
Friday. In each of two families there
are five cases of it. The epidemic,
which appears to be spreading slowly
in Topeka. now reaches total OF
twenty-five cases, according to re-
ports from Doctor Clark,~city health
officer
The epidemic has not spread as rap
idly in Topeka as it has in other cities,
neither has it developed the fatalities
experienced IN other localities. The
medical profession of the city has
been on the alert in co-ordinating with
the city health officials in endeayor-
ing to locate and isolate at once all
cases that are even suspected of show
ing the indications of influenza. The
cases now on the lists of the city
health department are all under com
plete isolation.
The stamping out Of the possible
epidemic depends largely upon the
quickness with which -sicknesseS and
ills are investigated. Great care
should be taken, according to Doctor
Clark, in not neglecting symptoms
which might indicate influenza. The
main thing to do is to go to bed al
once-comp1ete rest and proper care
are expected to adequately handle the
situation. provided it does not develor
more virulent characteristics. Infec-
tions are possible thru the air, and
are of the type known as droplet
which means that the germs are car
ried out into the air thru sneezing and
coughing to the very great danger OF
persons close by who may breathe the
germs into their system, causing an
other case. kissing Is an exceedingly
dangerous indoor pastime and should
not be indu1ged in, except in case OF
great necessity, according to Doctor
Clark. This is particularly true of the
wet variety.
The United States Public Health
Service has issued a bulletin on Span.
ish influenza, which contains al
known available information regard
ing this disease. Simple methods re1a
tive to its prevention, manner OF
spread, and care of patients, are alss
given.
