The output of crude oil in West Virginia has been on the decline since 1900, when the annual production was 16,20O,000 barrels. At present the production is considerably less than 50 per cent. of what it was in 1900. The annual output now is only about 7,868,0O0 barrels. The West Virginia product is very rich in lubri- eating qualities and is worth more than $4 per barrel.

UNCLE sam PAYS
FINAL War BILL
Seven Great Items That Must Be
Settled for Peace VIII Be Met
by The Fifth Liberty Loan.

The Fifth Liberty Loan will be
called the VICTORIOUS FIFTH, be-
cause, when 1t has been floated the
people of the country will be celebrat-
ing the victorious peace.
The Fifth Loan will come about mid
April, or just two years after the date
upon which we entered the war. It will
be more of a peace loan than a war
loan. 1t will be loan to make the final
settlement, squaring up the bill for
the war while the celebration Of the
victory is still going on and the men
are streaming back from France by
hundreds Of thousands.
A total of from five to six billions
will probably be offered. What the
money Is needed for and why 1t Is
needed Is worth putting compactly
together. It brings to mind at glance
what Is demanded still by the great
tasks imposed by peace.
These are some Of the chief items:-
1. Care for the American soldiers
in the Army Of Occupation
g. Providing for the second army
In the area behind the zone Of occu-
patton.
8. Bringing home soldiers who have
been released from war duties.
A. Demobilizing millions of men up
on their arrival here.
8. Keeping up the environments and
hospitals in this country.
6. Re-habilitating and re-educating
men who have been wounded.
Z. Reconstruction work for the SOL
diers and sailors.
Every one Of the millions of men
represented on this list have shared In
doing the nations work abroad.
Any American who stands by the
country will not fail to see now that
the peace debt is paid for the men
who have won peace.

WHY
Liberia Deserves Common
datiOI, for War Work

Among the enemies of Germany, let
us not forget Liberia. This tiny Afri-
can republic entered the war in all
seriousness, has contributed to the
victory and bears some honorable
scars. 1t established compulsory mill
tary service and sent hundreds Of la
borers into France for war work. 1t
expects a seat somewhere near the
foot of the great peace table.
Some two hundred German citizens
controlled rs per cent Of Liberia s
commercial activities before the war.
These two hundred are now interned
in France, and the government took
over their enterprises and sold them
at auction. 1t will be remembered
that the republics entire navy was
sunk by the Germans last April. 1t
consisted Of one small vessel, and the
subma rine that punctured its hull also
shelled Monrovia, the Liberian capital,
and killed ten people.
Liberals military authorities estab-
ished a basis for determining liability
to army duty which is the acme of
simplicity. Natives without clothes
are not eligible for service, but as
soon as a man puts on shirt and trou.
sers he automatically becomes liable
for enrolment and service. This is
on the authority of Bishop Alexander
P. Camphor, head of the Methodist
church in the republic. Though Lii
beria's part in the war has been small.
it has been none the less creditable.

POWER OF MIND OVER BODY
Why Ending of War Had Such Good
Effect on Soldiers Suffering
From Shell Shock.

The fact as stated by Surgeon Gen
eral Ireland that more than 1000
American soldiers in France suffering
from shell shock were cured by news
of the signing of the armistice' is an
interesting contribution to the pathOl-
ogy of nervous disease. These war
hospital patients were not suffering
from an imaginary ailment; the phys
zeal manifestations of their affection
were apparent, amounting in some
eases to bodily Disagreement. Yet
their cure seems to have been entirely
due to the influence Of the magma
ton. being instantly effected by their
realization that they would not again
be subjected to the same experience.
This evidence of the minds power
over the body will afford great salts
faction to believers in the efficacy of
mental or spiritual methods of heal
ing. What have the materialists to
say about it? Psychiatrists will allege
the capacity of their art to cure dis
ease of this nature, and according to
a statement from the surgeon gener-
ais office improved methods of COM
batting the affection" In army hospitals
have materially reduced it.
Yet the fact remains of natures
dramatic and immediate cure by the
simple means of removing apprehen-
sion. Medical practice has still some
way to go before equaling this demon
stratfon of the great possibilities in
mental healing.

How Red Cross Worked In Italy.

We have had our Little Italy" and
other TRANSFORMATIONS from the Old
World to the New, but the case Is re-
versed-"Little America" In Italy-as
seen in an article from the Corriera
della Sera, the great Milan newspaper.
''The heat is merciIess. On the road
side, under the shade of a cluster OF
trees, stands hut with an Italian flag
and flag showing field of blue with
stars, and red and white stripes. The
soldiers crowd the place. This Is
rest house of the American Red Cross.
Here our great American ally brings
lot of good things. Coffee, cool
drinks, bread. chocolate-as we once
knew it-and crackers-we no longer
are accustomed to.
'"The soldiers have already baptized
these rest houses. They call them in q
jocular way American bars and when
from afar they see on the road the trf-
color and the Stars and Stripes they
cry, Let us go to visit America ="

THE new Loan
FOR LIBERTY WON
The victorious Fifth Will Find
Enormous Tasks That Call
for It's Dollars.

The Fifth Liberty Loan, which the
people Of the country will be asked
in April to make to the Government.
will be Q loan Of the future.
Four great loans have fought for
Liberty. This will meet the needs OF
Liberty won.
The free peoples of the world have
given to millions of their brothers and
sisters the right Of determining thei1
own destinies.
But for all of them remains still the
great work of reconstruction, read
justment, completion, for the estab
nshed peace.
The responsibilities of this new pc
Rod are no less great than those which
arose in the crisis of the war itself
It is for us of the United States
to do our part as nation as fully now
as we did when we struck our blow
towards saving civilization.
It still remains to see that all which
was won on the battlefield Is saved
for liberty; that the stricken peoples
do not starve and that there is prompt
and useful rebuilding and restoration
in ravaged Europe.
We must bring back to their own
land and to their own homes, the mil
lions of our men who have helped win
the great victory. They must once
more be fitted with thought and care
into our national life.
Great projects which were begun In
time of war must be finished or re
directed.
All of these tests are part of the
great enterprise of peace and recon.
struction. All of them must be Fl
nanced in the next few months before
us. To carry them out is absolutely
necessary If we are to complete our
share of the work which has been car.
ried so far forward.
Every man and every woman in the
nation, who has shared In the blessings
Of peace won by the war, should pre-
pare now to share In peace loan-the

LODGE AFFIRMS
RIGHT TO amend
Knox Supports Leader.
View that Senate Has
Power Over Treaty.

Unqualified refutation of the con-
tcntion of league OF nation supporters
that the peace treaty cannot be
amended by the Senate was made yes
terday by Senator Lodge. Republican
leader. Senator Knox. a member of
the Foreigs Relations Committee, and
a former Secretary of State and for
mer Attorney General, supported SEN
ator Lodge in this opinion.
The claim that The treaty Is un-
amcndable was made few days ago
by the League TO Enforce Peace in a
propa ganoa ciIcular distributed from
its Offices here. IT cited a decision by
the Supreme Court, which,. it was as
serted. held that the Senate has not
tho power TO write new provisions
into a treaty.
Senator Lodge disputes this view
strongly. lie said there could be 10
question that the Senate has the
power TO amend a treaty, 10 strike
out portions which may be unaccept-
able or TO write into 1t provisions
which may more clearly define the
American position with respect to any
Of the treaty provisions.
This has been the practice in the
United States Senate ever since the
Jay treaty was considered in Wash
ington's time" Senator Lodge said,
no less than sixty-eight treaties
have been amended up to 1892. The
constitution having declared that a
treaty is the highest law Of the
land. there can be no question that
the Congress alone had the right
to FIX the final terms of a treaty
so far as the United States is con-
cerned, for no other body can pass
laws except CongreLs"
Senator Knox declared that in his
opinion the Senate has an unre-
stricted right to make any amend
ments to the treaty that it wishes to
make. He made a strong denial of
the contention Of the league advo-
Gates that the treaty must be ac-
cepted or rejected as a whole, with
out alteration or excision.
