80 DAY GAS SUPPLY
ONLYN COUNTRY NOW

WaShington-A gasoline shortage
by Dec. 81, 1918, of 1000, 900 BARRELS
at the present rate of consumption
was predicted by Fuel Administrator
Garfield in a report to the senate. He
stated that in the territory east of
California there is now a visible sup
ply of but thirty days.
In the territory east of California
Jan. 1, 1918, the stocks of gasoline and
naptha IN hand amounted to 8,400 900
barrels. The stocks reached the high
point of II, 900 barrels April 1. On
Aug. l there were bu II, 800, 900 bar
rels, a decline of 5000, 900 in stocks
from April to August.
$4,000 Barrels Used Daily.
The approximate daily consumption
is 1874, 600 barrels, of which 160, 900 is
for domestic uses and $4,000 for ex-
port. The approximate daily produc-
ton is $4,000 barrels, an average
daily deficit of 5000 barrels.
Mr.. Garfield said that in August
there was a reduction in stocks on
hand of 2,000,0 900 barrels, or a daily
deficit of Sc, 1000 barrels, figured on a
daily use of 1874, 900 barrels.
Only 5,SOO.OO Barrels Remain.
This brings down the stocks on
hand to a round total of $780, 900 bar
rels.
Mr.. Garfield said the 1000, 900 bar
rels deficit is indicated from the daily
deficit of 5000 barrels, which may be
materially increased by war demands.

A SOLDIERS letter
WESLEY THOMAS WRITES. But
SAYS NOTHING ABOUT
ANY INVALIDS.

Wesley Thomas writes from
France to his parents, and the letter
required just under a month for
transmission He makes no mention
IF any of the boys of the company
being In anything but the best of
health. The letter is written or Tho
inevitable Y. M. c. A. stationery,
which shows that this organization
is offering the men something real in
the way Of accommodations. and is
generally natronized by the men of
the army. and should receive the
support of the people at home. He
deplores the lack of interesting
things to write about. But the work
is an everyday matter with them.
They are right in it now, In the pres
ent. They are so close to the events
that they cannot see the interesting
things now, and time and absence
will be required to lend a proper per-
spective to the things they can aft
erwards make great stories of. The
letter is as follows:
Tue Ouly lIouDlC III whiting tANSN
letters is / haven't anything to write
about. 1t is just about the same
thing every day. Last Monday l was
in the city taking in the sights, but
there is not much difference between
them and the villages around our
camps. They have some nice stores
and that Is about all there is. These
villages haven't any. But they have
those narrow streets that run every
direction and you can start out or
one and come back where you start
ed from. And they have a lot of old
buildings built in the year of 1856
and up and they are still in use.
So Martin got a discharge. IL
bet auntie will be happy now and
think he will be just rs well off and
he can probably serve his country
just as well. Only he is missing lots
of sights that are worth a lot to
anyone.
haven't received the box you sent
me yet, but I think it ought to be
here before long. for you know that
our mail comes in punches. l have
not heard from Vernon for a lone
time, but I suppose he is out on a

Pierre, April 27.-A letter from

by her father, r. l.. Kelly. 1t vas
written at Southampton, Eng, and
was dated April 5. Extracts from
the letter are as follows:

been able to find out yet what we
can say and what we can't, but there
is one thing sure, we can always talk

ful-so much warmer than at home.

KENNEL HILL
TO The GERMANS
BRITISH FIGHT FURIOUSLY TO
PREVENT THE ADVANCE.

London, April 27.-The Germans
in their attack on the northern bat
lie front have occupied KENNEL hill,
Gen. Delma Radcliffe, chief director
Cf military operations at the war Of
flee, stated this afternoon.
ION the KENNEL front the enemy
has made considerable progress"
said Gen. Radcliffe, in giving his
first weekly talk on the western
front situation today. The latest
information is still incomplete, but
there is no doubt that the Germans
succeeded in occpying KENNEL hill,
a sector involving French and Brit
ish troops.
THE net result in the KENNEL
sector so far is that the Germans
have gained about 1000 yards on a
front of about 1900 yards. This
gain is not large, but it involved
very important ground and there is
n o question that it is a very serious
.oss.
There is nothing decisive about
he loss of KENNEL hill, but it is one
Cf the most important tactical fea-
lures, as the hill is an observation
point for all the ground to the north.
1t still remains to be seen, however,
whether it will remain in the en-
emy's hands.
Our line to the north is all right
and it is entirely possible to hold on
20 the Ypres sector ven If the IN
envy is on KENNEL. But his pres
ence there is o convenient and we
hope to get him off"
I'm the end it would be a question
of who has the last reserves" said
Gen. Radcliffe. These reserves or
he western front are now in the
hands of Gen. Foch, in whom both
armies have the fullest confidence
He so far has employed only a,smal
proportion of his available reserves
