HITS FAIR
OIL SAND
Drill Locates Good Showing at
1900 Feet; Same Sand Encoun-
tered by Other Wells; Bet
ter This Time.

Word received from the Cement
field this morning states that yes
terdoy afternoon, the Fortuna No. 3,
which is known ais the Caddo Pc
troleum company encountered Il
splendid showing of oil in the 1900
foot sand The drillers will not stop
at this depth, however, but will go
to the deeper levels
Practically all the wells in the Ce-
ment field now drilling deeper than
1900 feet, have encountered this sand
at about the same depth. In nearly
every instance tie sand has been
productive of fair showing of oil
It is reported that the slowing found
in the Fortuna No was better at
this depth than has previously been
the case and predictions of oil men
are that some driller will find a big
oil well in the 1900 foot sand.
Betty Moves is Report.
Coming as a surprise was the re
port from the field that the tools of
the Betty G, a Gorton proposition,
were being moved from that-location
in 1868 to the Calla-Belle in $50.
The Calla-Belle is situated one loca-
ton west of the Gorton No. / which
we'll came in a good gasser after the
owners had surmounted every diff
cr3ty during the process OF drilling
AS far as information is obtaina-
Bile at this time, the Betty C will
not be abandoned. 1t has been
drilled around 21O0 feet deep and the
reports are that as soon as the Gala
Belle is finished, the tools will be
moved back to the Betty G location
and the we'll drilled to 1000 feet if
necessary.
The Calla-Belle rig has been com
pleted for several months, but no
work has been done 1t was prima-
rily constructed for cable tools, and
is now being changed to accommo-
date a rotary outfit No cable tools
were moved to the location No of
ficial comment has been made by the
officers OF the Calla-Belle or Betty C
companies as to the change, all in
formation coming from an oil scout
operating in the Cement field.
"Fu" Also on Job.
That the FLU has been on the
job, adding other difficulties to those
already experienced by the Fortuna
company, is evidenced by the fact
that the Fortuna No is shut down
in $50, waiting on a drilling crew.
Members Of tht crew previously on
the job have been attacked by the
diseas and put temporarily out Of
business, reports state.
No other developments in the field
Of any importance are reported. The
majority OF the other wells are shut
down for various causes.

Peace Situation.
PUT NEXT MOVE UP
TO ALLIED LEADERS
If Disposed Act on President S
Principles, Allied Command
ers with Pershing Will
Frame Armistice Terms,
BY United Press.

BY United Press.
Paris, Oct. 24.-Marshal Foch, with
the American and allied command
ers, left by President Wilson to de-
eide as to armstce terms, has agreed
upon a course which is tantamount
to Germany's unconditional surren-
der If accepted, it is learned from an
authoritative source.
These terms are essentially as fol-
lows: The evacuation of Alsace-Lor-
raine, the evacuation of Prussian.Po-
lard, the cessation of all munitlon
making, to be assured by a commit
tee of allied officials to be installed
at Essen and other points; the sur
render OF the German submarine
fleet and the occupation of all GER
man battleshps by allied naval off,
GERS.
The precautions include plans to
prevent Germany from utilizing an
armistice for the manufacture Of war
material with a view to continuing
to fight should the proposed neeo-
tlations fail. 1t is accepted, of course,
that France and Belgium must be
completely evacuated.
British dispatches particularly en-
phasize the naval requirements to
limit German power as guarantee
against future sea outraues.

(By j. p. Bender, Staff Corr
Washington, Oct 24--Germany
must quit cold now or fight the war
to a finish She can have peace il
she chooses to accept the allies
terms but in any way as the situa-
ton is viewed here, her quitting will
be a surrender.
That was how the national capital
today interpreted the general joint
announcement. of President Wilson's
answer to Germany and the official
statement that over two million Yam
KEGS have been embarked to aid in
finishing the war by force should Ger
many elect to fight on.
The next move is up to the allies.
If they are disposed to act on the ba-
sis Of the presidents peace principles.
the allied commanders, with General
Pershing, will frame an armistice
which would constitute in effect
surrender for Germany Probably the
allied war aims and peace terms will
be cleared up in a conference soon.
wherein President Wilson will have
representation.
The discussion of terms of an ar
mistice has probably already started
through the Versailles conference. 1t
is expected TO be annonced soon that
Germany has two alternatives. The
first is that the kaiser abdicates and
if this be done Germany can be free
to accept an armistice which will
make her powerless TO fight on but
which carries with it the demand for
surrender. The second, according to
President Wilson's view. is that if
the kaiser and his murder masters.
the present German government,
remain in power and il the United
States and the allies must now or
later deal with them, surrender"
alone can be accepted.
