FEAR RISE
OF UNREST
Urge Immediate Peace on Broad
Lines; Settlement Under
League; Hun Threat Not
Thought Serious.
By WIN. PHILLIPS SIMMS

Omitted Press Staff Correspondent
Paris, March 25.--Immediate peace
along broad lines and settlement of
the details through the League of
Nations was urged today, many Of
the delegates fearing the spread of
bolshevism.
The next step will be the CON
crete support of the nations of cen
trail Europe which the allies are
honor bound to protect 1t is be-
lieved that an expeditionary force
will be unnecessary. If it is decid-
ed to be advisable, national armies
will be raised and partly equipped
by the allies.
Germany's threat to refuse to sign
the treaty is not disturbing the con-
ference. Their signatures are not
greatly honored anyhow, it is point
ed out as the German government
is badly wobbling.

The Hill we'll in 33-6-10 is the piv-
ct of the Cement field at this time.
On said pivot hinges whether the OPP

ing out that if the Hill Wen comes
in a good producer they are off in q
bunch to see who can drill oil wells
the fastest. If she is dry, they say,
the development will be slow nj that
neck of the woods.
All eyes are on the Hill well. At
the present time they are drilling at
around 2,2O0 feet and were feeling
fer the sand" yesterday afternoon.
Indications on the slush pit were
that they had touched some sort of
sand, or were in the upper stratas
of it. The flow of slush into the pit
was working" with gas and spots
of live oil" were frequently in evi-
dence. DriIlers and oil men not con-
nected with the company but who have
an ear to the ground, are unanimous
in the opinion that the well will
show for a producer before the end
Of the week. There axe possibilities
that they will be well into the sand
before night, but it is the general
opinion that the well will not be
brought in before the last of the
week
They are picking up the sands en-
countered in the other wells at
depths from 80 10 100 feet shallower
than were encountered in other wells
of the field. This would indicate
that they have but few feet to go
before hitting the pay. Showing of
oil was encountered last Saturday
and good gas flows have been picked
up. The stuff in the slush box yes
terday afternoon was gritty" show
ing that they were drilling or had
recently passed through hard forma-
tions.
Watch Fortuna No. 4.
While the public has been watch
ing the Hill and Williams wells,
there is an outfit drilling over in
6-5-9 that has slipped up on the en-
tire field That outfit is Fortuna No
4. 1t is believed they have set a
record for the field to date for drill
ing. Surprise was expressed yester
day when Mr. Ramsey, heavily in
terested in the company, announced
that the Fortuna No. had attained
a depth of 2,11O feet AT their pres
ent rate they should be on the sand
next week.
In 35-6-10 the Fortuna No. 8 is
drilling at around 5000 feet. Oil
men are admitting that she is dus
ter unless the pay is picked up
at around 5000. Some have faith in
a possible sand that deep test
might uncover.
