Gaa We'll Finally MTamed.W

Out in the agebrush-covered wastes of eastern Washington there has just been tanned big gas well, and devel- opment work on the property is now under way. The flow of gas was dis covered three years ago, when a mis- guided settler drilled for water and had four-inch pipe blown out of the ground. A year later passerby threw a lighted match into the gas and for IS months the we'll burned day and night, a beacon visible for miles around. A few months ago the old we'll was capped, the gas used to pro- vide fuel for a modern drilling engine, and an 1S-inch pipe has just been sunk into the gas reservoir.

pits of great conflicts between the Aus
trian and Russian armies. Nevertheless.
the situation in Bosnia and Herzegovina
is horrible.
Entire districts of eastern Bosnia and
the whole of the eastern part Of Here
govina are to-day depopulated and de-
vastated regions which look as if ter
rible typhoon had visited them with its
devilish destruction. A great number of
inhabitants were deported and have since
died in internment camps. Those who
remained were massaered by Austrian
soldiers. In other districts the popula-
tion is dying of starvation"
