BITTER ATTACK ON u. s.
MADE BY BRAZILIAN

Rio Janeiro, May ll.-An attack
upon the United States is made by
Madeiros de Albuquerque, generally
considered one Of the leading journal
lists of Brazil. in long interview
printed today in Noite. Senior Albu-
querque, who has just arrived from
the United States accuses the United
States of "fomenting revolution in
Mexico" and says that Brazil is con-
sidered by the United States only as a
possible future colony"
He adds:
"The United States wants to obtain
as part payment Of the debt Of France
and England bond for Brazil's debts
to those powers. On the day that is
realized Brazil will be sold to the
United States which on the first occa-
sion we fail TO meet the interest will
do to us as she has done to Central
American nations"
Senior Albuquerque attacks the
Monroe doctrine and President Will
son. ridiculing the presidents activi-
ties in the peace congress. He con-
cludes by saying:
THE United States incontestably Is
the Prussia of tomorrow"
Washington, May l2.-Proposals
have been made at Paris by the Brit
ish and French governments that the
United States accept as part payment
for loans advanced them. notes and
bonds on some Of the South American
re ouhlics. including Brazil which they
hold. II was said here today that
there had been no opposition to the
plan and that the United States had
approved it because it would remove
some Of the interests of the European
powers in the American continent and
thus accord with the principle of the
Monroe doctrine.
Commenting on the statement at
Rio Janeirc by Madeiros de Albuquer-
que leading journalist of Brazil, re-
gsrding this transfer of debts, state
department officials emphasized that
there was no desire on the part of the
United States to eTe"t any influence
on Brazil's internal affairs.
The attack on the United States by
the Brazilian journalist caused sur
prise in Washington, it being pointed
out that during his stay OF seven
months in this country, he voiced no
opinion of hostility and frequently ex-
pressed the friendship Of Brazil for
the United States. II was learned to-
day at the Brazilian embassy that
while he was in New York, he sent
several dispatches to his paper prais-
ing the United States for its part in
the war and its interest in Pan-Amer-
lean affairs.

Berlin, May l2.-The declaration OF
Chancellor Scheidemann in the national

were unacceptable" brought the mem
bers Of the assembly, the spectators,
and those in the press gallery to their
feet IN u hurricane of cheers and ap-
plause.
The chancellor reached the climax
OF his statement on the peace terms
ten minutes after he began.
The chancellor paused in his address
and then Numbered out the word which
announced the German governments

as dreadful and murderous" docu.
ment. He said it would make an enor-
nous Jail of Germany in which sixty
million persons would have to labor
for the victors in the war. The chan
eellor said German trade would +,
strangled should the peace terms be
accepted.
He criticized President Wilson and
said that the president by his attitude
had deceived the hopes of the German
people.
Paris, May l3.-The head of the two
German democratic parties and the
parties of the centre have informed
Chancellor Scheidemann that their
parties will withdraw their representa-
tlves from the government in case the

according to a dispatch from Berlin
received here by way of Basle.
Berlin, May l2.--Philipp Seheide-
mann, the chancellor, in his speech be-
fore the national assembly here today
said that the occasion was the turning
point in the life of the German people,
as the assembly was TO decide the atti-
tude toward what our adversaries call
peace conditions"
|, THE representatives of the nation"
he continued. meet here as the last
band of the faithful assemble when the
fatherland is in the greater danger.
All have appeared except the represen-
tatives of Alsace-Lorraine, who have
been deprived of the right to be rep
resented here, just as you are to be de.
prived Of the right to exercise in a
free vote the right of self determi-

OIL DEVELOPMENT IN
TWO FIELDS ASSURED
..RANA SITE LOCATED

Oil activities in Quay county have
taken on new life the past week. The
location I n the well near Rama has
been made. 1t will be put down on
the Will Shaefer homestead two miles
north OF Rama, in section %, Twp l3,
Rng 30. Four large loads of lumber
were hauled to that location Tuesday
and on Wednesday four more loads Of
lumber were hauled out from Endee.
The contract has been let to Penn
sylvana company and as soon as pos
sii.e actual drilling will begin.
Boss Jackson. who owns large
tract Of land in that vicinity was in
Tucumcari Wednesday and was quite
enthusiastic over the prospects now
Forthcoming. His teams were haul
ing tn" lumber from Endee to the
location. More than week ago the
coal arrived but it was hauled to the
u,uo town of Rama. At that time
the location had not been made pub
lie. but papers have been signed and
everything made satisfactory to those
putting up the money for the test well
in the much touted Rama field. a num-
her OF Tucumcari citizens own much
acreage in that vicinity.
The Pound well No. /, started some
few weeks ago was delayed on account
of the iron for the derrick being mis-
carried but they have arrived and the
mammoth frame is already up. Mr..
McGce said the derrick would be fin
ishcd by sometime next week and the
drilling would begin within few days
thereafter. Men who have visited the
big oil fields of Oklahoma and Texas
say this outfit is as good as any they
have ever seen and since finding out
from Mr. McGee that the hole would
lc started with 20-inch drill they
claim leases would be worth much more
to them near this well.
1t is not known here what kind OF
u rg will do the work in the Rama
well but it is understood that it is a
standard rig.
Other communities are about ready
TO report favorable. In one commune
ty it is said local man got busy and
went about the community buying in
lease at dollar an acre. This boost
ed the price too high for the promo
ters Of well in that section and un-
less ihings, change soon development
in that paiS will not be done soon.
There are too many good spots to put
down a test we'll now. Each communi-
ty should be careful, work in harmony
and there is bound to be much devel-
opment in the county.
