There is an exceptional opportuni-

capital to take an increased active
interest in the oil production of
eastern Europe; an activity of this
kind on the part Of the United States
would be very much facilitated, first,
by the exceptionally favorable rates
of exchange for American coinage in
those countries. and, second. by the
marked readiness of the peoples and

OPPORTUNITY
FOR AMERICA
IN BALKAN OIL
(By Ferdinand J. Bing, United Press

Staff Correspondent
Vienna. -(By mail.)-In view of
the general shortage OF coal here, the
question of the production of other
fuel has again become extremely i'm
portant Special attention in finan-
cal circles is being paid to oil and
petroleum which eastern Europe
used to produce in abundance.
The expectation and the equal and
judicious distribution of the material
however, is rendered particularly diff
ficult today by the exceptionally
grave political situation of the pro
ducing countries as we'll as by the
devastations Of which this territory
was the theater This refers above
al to the oil wells of Galicia and
of Baku, on the Caspian sea, and
Kerkuk- Chanikin still deserve the
greatest attention in the far east
The extraordinary abundance Of the
Iatte-'s products was one of the priD
cipal reasons why the British naval
craft was reconstructed for oil heat
ing.
While tho petroleum and oil pro
duction OF Asia is more or less i'll
british hands already, there ought
to be a good opportunity for the in
vestment of American capital in Ga.
licia and Roumana. American bust
ness interests, however, must be
aware of the fact that one of the
most urgent and indispensable tasks
in regard to rational exploitation Of
the oil wells in that aprt of the world
will be their reconstruction, aiming
al bringing about THE prel1wr stand
ard of production While tae output
of mineral oil in Ga.icia-which cen
tered in Drohobycz and the neighbor-
ing territories--was very great in
normal times, considerable number
of wells have been choked and de
vasBated during the course of the nu-
merUus battles which took place
there between the Russians and the
Austrians; even after the armistice
and right now this territory is the
subject of dispute between the Poles
and the Ukranians; the wells are
partly in British and partly in Amer
lean and Austrian hands.
AS to the Roumanian oil wells, a
considerable part of these is not now
in working order, which is chiefly
due to the military measures taken
by the allies lat the time of the Ger
man advance in Roumania. Although
General FNalkenhayn's experts devot-
ed particular attention to the recon
struction of the destructed wells,

There was great doings in Chick
asha this morning. More excite
ment was in the air than for many
moons past. A car of coal arrived
N the city and everybody wanted
some of it,
The Chickasha Ice and Cold Stor-
age company was advised that IA car
of Alabama coal was ready for de-
livery by the railroad some time to-
day The news spread ever the city
like wild fire and the telephone of
j. w Conner city fuel administrator,
was the busiest little thing in the
village.
Call followed call about as rapidly
as central could plug them in, and
they all wanted some of that car Of
coal. The car was being sold out in
small quantities, those in absolute
need being given the preference In
dications early this morning were
that long before night the supply
would be exhausted.
"cut More Wood"
The arrival of this coal does not
mean that there will be other ship
ments at regular intervals according
to Mr. Conner and his advice to the
people who can is to cut more
wood"
He explained that, according to 0.
l.. Bingham, manager of the ice com
pany, the car of coal received this
morning represented an order placed
months ago and came from district
in Alabama that was little affected
by the strike. There is no assurance
that more coal will be received soon,
the fuel administrator said.
Wood Saved Day.
Wood, and the spirit of the
Chickasha people who can do SO, to
get it, has saved the situation said
Mr. Conner. "Had it not been for
the prompt response of the wood
cutting, ChickasTll people would have
seen much suffering. AS it is, the
municipal yard has been able to ac-
cumulate surplus that would tide
the city over i'm case of a severe
blizzard that rendered it impossible
to get into the timber for a few days
"The wood cutting must continue
however That point cannot be
stressed too much The miners are
reported to be going back to work,
but there is no immediate relief in
sight through the procuring of coal. y

weather had shifted to other parts
