FASTENED by this dreadful war and
her feeling Of fatal decadence eN-
plains in part the hysteria that gov
erned her dictation Of the peace"
The Vienna Neue Freie Presse
joins in sympathy for Premier Lloyd
George and President Wilson, as it
laws an the blame for the Treaty on
Mr.. Clemenceau Thus il observes
"This Treaty is transcript Of
madness the work Of decrepit old
man, who is a slave 10 his memories
and his dreams Of vengeance. Lloyd
George suffered II to pass because
his plans for British world-dominion
are safeguarded, anda President vii
son was simply incapable Of meeting
the European situation"
To find the silver lining Of the
cloud is the effort Of some German
papers, among which is the Berlin
Vossische Zeitung, which says:
"The National Assembly has drain
ed the chalice Of sorrow to the last
dregs. No suffering will be spared
the German people. At least. let II
be hoped that through the peace all
our internal discord VIII be ended"
The Berlin Deutsche Tageszeitung
advises the people that now the peace
is signed "the national ideal must
grow and develop each day, and we
must never tire Of exhorting those
who think as good Germans TO stick
together and work" But-to quite
another harsh remark from Spain
the Madrid III Pals says
"The German Republic, suspected
Of Kaiserism because of its personal
of spurious revolutionaries, and be-
cause Of its incessant Vaccinations,
was obliged to submit. Il deserves
to disappear in the night of history
as the German Fleet has disappeared

TERRELL FINDS DISCREPANCY
IN OIL PRODUCTION REPORTS

Austin, Texas, Aug. 6.-Comptrol-
Ter II. B. Terrell is much concerned
over the newspaper reports of oil pro
duction in Texas fields as compared
to the sworn reports of production
made to his department and on which
the State receives a tax of ! IL per
cent of its gross value.
Mr.. Terrell says that the statistics
published in the public prints show a
much larger production than is re-
ported to the Comptroller and that II
the newspapers figures are correct
the State is losing large amount oil
tax. Because Of this discrepancy Mr..
Terrell will have his examiners make
a thorough study of the oil production
TO the end that the State collects the
tax due il.
For the quarter ending June 30 the
sworn reports TO the Comptroller
show the production in Texas, IN
round figures, was S31,255,OOO. THIS
would be about Sl2O. 100000 for the
wear. Mr.. Terrell says that the pub
lished reports rather indicate total
of 5000. 600, 900 in oil produced in
Texas during the year. He rs unable
to account for the difference IN the
sworn reports on which taxes are
paid and the statistics furnished by
oil field staticians

is THE TREATY ANOTH-
Err SCRAP OF PAPER"

Whether Germany believes she has
another scrap Of paper" in the Yer
sailles Treaty is the question agitat-
ING some observers who consider Ger
many the "faithfess among the ma
tons" Their suspicion is confirm
ed. we are told, by the fact that Ger
tain Allied leaders have found il nee
essary TO assure the world that, If
necessary, Germany will be forced
TO fulfill the terms Of her agreement
Bluntly skeptical is the Journal de
Liege. which AYERS that sit is obvious
Germany signs with no intention Of
keeping her word" and it suggests
that perhaps Germany adds a new
scrap Of paper to her collection 10
the Treaty of 1919. Equally down
right is the criticism Of newspaper
in neutral Spain, the Madrid Sol
which issues the warning that AL rs
over only in theoretical sense. be
cause Germany signed with mental
reservations" while the Brussels Ma
ton remarks cynically that the Ger
mans have signed the Treaty, but
they twill never execute it, as tney
consider the Treaty "a peace OF
dunes" The Madrid Figaro adopts
the explanation that Germany "ac-
cepted the terms, not because she be
lieved herself vanquished, but be
cause she feared that her people
would lose all spirit Of law and or
der" How well founded suspicion Of
Germany is may be partly judged
from the observation Of certain sui
en- German newspapers, among which
I is the Berlin Kreuzzeitung, which Ia
ments that the destiny Of Germany Is
"sealed for long time and adds
surlily that "our enemies have sowu
the seed Of hate and we shall cult
waite that sowing until the day comes
when our people are strong enough
TO break the shackles Of dishOnor. y
Again the Berlin NOrwarts remarks
I'VE are the victims Of force, but
we may issue word of warning 20
those who imagine that force shall
always be poscsst solely By those
folk at Paris who are now swollen
with success. Let us have no lamen-
tations, no despair, and let US not
lose either courage or hope. The day
Of resurrection will surely come and
the shame that has been inflicted up
on US will revert on that day to those
who are its author
/ A cynical note sounds IN the YER
dict of the Vienna Zeit, which says:

clusively around table covered with
