WHERE BIG PRODUCTION
COMES FROM

OKLAHOMA'S OIL PRODUCTION,
to meet the needs of the war, must be
increased from one, or all, OF three
sources - drilling out producing prop
critics, extending existing pools, or the
discovery of new pools in now partially
or wholly undeveloped areas A large
part of this new production will come
from now producing fields, by the bring
ing in of new wells; probably much more
will come from the extension of existing
pools, and much new producing from
wholly or partly undeveloped fields.
Hundreds of thousands Of dollars are
now being expended on leases and test
wells in wholly wildcat territory, but
reports of Oklahoma operations show
that the greatest activity is still in the
states older fields. The conservative
operators and the careful investors are
placing their money in fields already
producing-in those areas where the
sinking of drills means almost certain
production and sure profits.

FHiu housandHomeless
French Fed BY Americans

Washington, May 1.-THE story
OF how $4,000 homeless French
refugees were fed by the Ameri-
can Red Cross recently is contain
ed in a cable, received at the ma
tional headquarters OF the organiza-
tion here, which voices the appre-
citation and thanks OF Premier Glenn
enceau.
Il thank YOU heartily the pre-
mier said, FOR the generous help
given by your organization when
YOU sent the $4,000 refugees at
Stomer provisions. This was but
one Of many instances of your
bounty toward the French popula-
ton, sorely tried by their energetic
attitude toward the enemy. And !
trust all the world will realize how
fully these refugees merit the inter
est the Red Cross is taking in them,
as we realize it here. Please allow
me to be the Interpreter OF their
gratitude
The Red cross was asked by
Premier Clemenceau' secretary
whether it could supply milk, cheese
beef and flour to feed $4,000 retu-
gees from the war zone who were
gathered at Stomer. When French
refugee train left Paris six hours
later it carried five tors OF con
densed milk, two and half tons
Of cheese, two and hall tons OF
canned beef and two and half
tons OF flour from the American
Red Cross. More Red Cross food
was shipped on the next train and
in answer to an appeal from the
French minister Of war the Red
Cross shipped Is beds for refugee
children being housed in convent
in the south OF France.
In this manner the American Red
Cross continues to succor the brave
men and women OF France; in this
way are spent the dollars which the
American public gave for the pur-
pose last June. And a portion of the
money which the American people
will be called upon to give in the
second war fund campaign, which
is for $l00000000 and which starts
May 20, will be used similarly.

NO GAMBLE IN THIS FIELD

The first oil well in Oklahoma drilled by the
Cudahy Oil company in 1903, on the townsite OF
Bartlesve on tract of land secured by lease, from
the government; and the Washington county field Is
still producing at the rate of 900 barrels day.
Hundreds of drill rigs dot the prairieyin every sec
ton of the county. hundreds of wells turning
their production into pump stations and hundreds
of new rigs being erected
With three producing sands to draw from-the
shallow and deep Cherokee and the famous Bartles-
Vile sand - the Washington county field is every
where considered the most regular and dependable
in the state Only the Bird Creek district north of
Tulsa approaches it.
This regularity is shown in the Oklahomans
March summary of oil activities in which Washing
ton county is credited with % compilations. 20 of
which were oil producers, 2 gassers and dry hole.

ISOLATING THE
FRENCH CANADIAN
Citizen of Dominion Is Attached
Neither to Own Old Land
or New Abode.

American Review OF Review :
The phenomenon of all most strlk-
ing, it may again be repeated, is that
the French Canadian, whether the
almost iliterate peasant or the man
of education, has no passionate at
tachment for France and no burn
ing fervor for Canada BY choice
he has isolated himself from his
English speaking neighborS and
withdrawn from spiritual contact
with them. ii he has any pride it
is 4 stubborn pride in not speaking
English and in encouraging his chill
dren to scorn English who, hearing
only French spoken in the home,
the school and the church, have nat
urally little inclination and less op-
portunity to learn any other Ian
guage. If France to the French
Canadian were home. as England
was to the Puritan. driven into eN-
lie. but still united to the land Of
his birth by the ties OF sentiment,
one could understand why the
French Canadian keeps aloot from
the English; or if French Canadians
were only biding their time when
Canada from Labrador to British
Columbia is to be dominated by the
sons OF France. Latin culture Is to
take the place OF Saxon. and IN the
western hemisphere is to be planted
a New France that shall rebound
TO the glory of the old. then the at
titude OF the French Canadian would
be easily comprehensive. Bu' there
is no evidence that any such thought
goes through his mind He accept,
the British flag and British rule, but
he remains q French Canadian IN
stead OF a Canadian OF Canada

RELIGION VS.. PATRIOTISM.

RELIGION vs.. IA klO oM'
Should a mans religious belief be
allowed to interfere with his loyalty
to his country
There are some people in this gov
ernment who object to the war from
religious standpoint, upon the the
orv that it is wrong to kill, and urge
their religious convictions as a rea-
son for their refusal to sign a card
pledging their loyalty to the govern
ment and in refusing to buy Liberty
bonds or to help the government i'll
any way to win the war.
What is the true status Of such
people? Laying all sentiment aside,
there is only one answer to this
question-they are criminals and in
open rebellion against the govern
ment which gives them the right "to
worship God according to the die
tates of their own conscience
In this dangerous hour the law
demands the absolute loyalty OF ev-
erv citizen of the United States and
requires that every citizen do all in
his power to aid the government III
winning this great war in the inter
est Of democracy and civilization.
The man who fails or refuses to
comply with the just demands OF
the government is in rebellion
against the government and is there
fore 4 traitor and a criminal. What
is criminal? \ criminal, strictly
speaking, is an habitual rebel against
the laws OF the state Many habit
ual criminals are found to perform
many yirtuous and commendable
actions, retaining, nevertheless,
crimnality in the general current OF
their lives SO that. Notwithstanding
many good and noble actions on
their part, and the display perhaps
Of many of the most commendable
traits of human nature, their state
of rebellion toward the law renders
them enemies OF society and de
mands their separation from it.
The anarchist rebels against the |
constituted authorities OF the state, !
but may have personally all the vir- |
tues that ever adorned a human be /
ing, but the good of the state and !
the salvation of society demands his |
ruthless expulsion, Notwithstanding |
the possession OF such personal
graces. Thus. these So-called Chris
tian people, endowed with every per
sonal grace of human character, are
nevertheless criminals, since they
refuse to acknowledge the sover-
eighty of the state or to comply |
with its just demands.
The laws of different countries do
not ALWAYS harmonize with each
other, the acme OF obedience and
patriotism as regards the laws of
one country may involve the most
infraction Of the laws 4
Of another country. The spy, who,
with the most sublime exhibition Of
patriotism and sacrifice, goes within
he lines of the enemy. finds himself
here transformed into criminal of
he deepest dye; the hero on one
side OF the line becomes the crimi-
nal on the other side of the line
glory awaits him in one government
and ignominy and death in the
this. too, without the
slightest taint OF moral wrong.
This is not a time for the eXer-
