Peace VIII Bring
Increased Consumption
And Production of Oil

DALLAS, Tex, Dec. 2S.-Big oil
producers of the southwest predict
that peace will bring increased pro-
ductiOn and increased consumption
Of fuel Gil, lGbTicating oil and gaso-
line.
They declare that to meet speci-
fications for high-grade fuel oil for
admiralty purposes it was neces-
sary to refine much crude oil under
wasteful conditions, which will not
obtain in the future.
Increased consumption, producers
say, will result from neutral mar
kets replenishing their stocks, from
more general use of motor cars in
European countries that have been
at war, and from the use in Great
Britain, France and Italy of thou
sands of motor lorries, now in the
war zone, as auxiliary systems of
overworked railways.
But this increased demand will
be more than offset by increased
production, officers of the large
Texas companies declare. PRODUCE
ton in the north Texas field now
is $4,000 barrels a day, the Gulf
field is producing $4,000 barrels, the
Kansas fields $4,000 barrels. the
Oklahoma fields, outside Of Cush-
ing and Healton, $4,000, the Cush-
ing 44.500 over the Healton. 42,5OO.
The Texas figures show an increase
over figures for the quarter endlng
September 30th, which gave the to-
toll production as 9,244.S14 barrels,
valued at $1S,O91,249. This was an
increase of more than a million bar
rels over the June quarter and two
million over the March quarter.
Experts here say the Mexican
fields alone have potential produc-
ton of 1000 900 barrels a day.
Producers predict that with the
extension of the oil fields, oil sta
tions will be established at ports
throughout the world and permit of
further adoption by ships of oil
burning power systems.

FoRESTER's SOCKS ARE NOT
FORGOTTEN

WASHINGTON, Dec. %. - The
lumberjacks and foresters who went
from the United States to France
to cut the wood needed by the al
lied armies. were not without a bit
of Christmas in their stockings this
morning.
Many members of the Tenth and
Twentieth engineer regiments, COM
posed of foresters, have no relatives
in America. and might have gone
without Christmas remembranceS
had it not been for the American
Forestry association, which provid-
ed for them out of its welfare fund.
More than $4,000 was contributed
to this fund. and one of its chief
uses was providing Christmas cheer
for the boys in the woods of
France.
Mrs. Henry s. Graves. wife of the
chief forester of the forestry serv-
ice, was chairman of the organiza-
ton of women that packed the
Christmas boxes. Each box was
just a little different from the
others, but most of them contained
knives, flash lights, fountain pens,
soap, cigarettes, tooth paste, candy,
gum and SlintS

Bergen Takes on
importance as Port

BERGEN, Norway, Nov. 1S.-Since
the war began Bergen has taken on
added Importance as a shipping CEN
ter 1t has been a point where neU-
trail ships gathered to be conveyed
through danger zones and all paSSen-
gers embarked for British and Scot
fish ports. Because of the great in
fiux of English-speaking tourists in
normal times, English was spoken
very generally in the larger cities
and towns even before the war, but
now nearly all Norwegians speak
English. Foreign refugees from
Russia and Finland recently have
kept all the resort hotels in the Nor
wegian mountains crowded. Travel
has far exceeded the capacity of the
railway between ChriStiania and Ber-
gen and the inns have been unable to
accommodate the great mass of refu-
gees who are endeavOring to make
their way across the North sea on
the crowded steamers operated by the
British government.

Status Of National
Guard Is Doubtful;
Regulars Oppose Il

WASHINGTON. Dec. 26.-That the
general stan recommendations for the
country's fugture military prepared
ness will not include use of national
guard is the belief of some war de-
partment groups today.
Practically killing of the national
guard through the decision of Acting
Judge Advocate General Ansell will
necessitate substitution OF another
method or reorganization of the
guard m practically all states.
Thus Ear IL is too early to know
what the country"S attitude will be
toward the guard. However, il is
felt here that political considerations
and LEGAL community pride will re-
suit IN an effort to revive the guard
in many places.
However. general staff men by rea-
son of their training are naturally
favorable to a regular army organi-
ZatiCn or to a system which central
ICES in the war department rather
than in the states. This spirit is be-
iieVed likely TO cause the star to
recommend some form of universal
military training--minuS the guarC-
provided IL has an opportunity later
10 present its views To- congress.
There is mach doubt here that the
country is inclined to favor the uni
versal system and much will depend
upon the outcome of efforts in Paris
peace conference at obtaining a world
league OF nations and a decrease OF
armament and militarism.

shrugged mis- shoulders.
This is the only one which can be

the attempt must be made TO apply
it At any rate. we shall support II.
When he was asked by the cOrre-
spondent what attitude Germany
would adopt toward the east he re-
piled All the questions concerning

ing. in Berlin, Count Won Bernstorn
said: Il don't think the book viii

OF the persons who directed Ger
