the Germans refuse to give up, is
the prize in the game of diplomacy

German newspapers are limiting

The Hill well in 1868 seems as

these traces came from the sand
that the drill is supposed to be on,
or from some sand higher up was
a question, unanswered. One oil
man stated that the well, figuring
elevations and levels, is now proper

which the pay was picked up in Gala
Belle.
At the well, no one would give out
the depth of the hole. Two 1000

Tor this reason, and because the
well is known to be at producing
depth, is dividing interest, in way,
with the Hill.

at a depth reported to be slightly

$28, 362,250 Subscriptions Over
shadows All in Fifth Federal

With an oversubscription of 1857
per cent for the victory liberty loan,
the District of Columbia has out
distanced all competitors in the fifth
federal reserve district, Virginia
showing an oversubscription of 1854
per cent, Maryland 6.SS per cent and
West Virginia 1.25 per cent. North
Carolina subscribed to only 1874 per
cent of its quota and South Carolina
to a2.17 per cent.
The Treasury Department had ar
ranged to distribute a number of
captured German cannon among the
states oversubscribing the loan, but
as the District of Columbia already
has number of war trophies it has
waived it's right to it's share of the
boche artillery. The cannon will
therefore be divided between Virginia,
Maryland and West Virginia. Albert
S. tombstone, director of the war loan
organization in the fifth district, has
notified the chairmen of the state
committees of these three states
that the cannon will be shipped at
once to the points they designate.
The quota of the victory loan given

"Our greatest problem now" said
Col. Jones, in connection with the
announcement. seems to be less that
of finding jobs for soldiers than of
getting the soldier in connection with
the job.
practically all of the employers have
stated that they will gladly take back
their old men. We learn further that
most of them are taking the men back
at prevailing wages and not at the
same pay they received before the
war.
Careful attention will have to be
paid to the fact that the men who
are coming back from the military
and naval service feel that they are
physically and mentally more val
liable than they were before. They
are. therefore. expecting higher pay
and better opportunities"

CONGRESS MAKING GOOD
ON ECONOMY PROGRAM
Saving of Over Billion and Quarter
Dollars Surprises Even the
Leaders.

This Congress is already making
good on it's economy program to an
extent which is surprising even the
leaders. 1t is slashing and cutting
right and left. and to an extent great
err than expected. The estimates of
the heads of departments have al
ready ben cut more than billion
and a quarter dollars-S1,35G .OOO,C coo.
in fact. and the appropriations are not
yet all in.
The largest savings thus far effect
ed have been upon the following bills:
The Army bill, from which S45O.OO0.-
900 was cut by the House committee
and another $15O,O0O.00O cut yester-
day when the House reduced the per-
sonnet of the Army from 509.000 to
800, 900 men.
The Navy bill. already reduced $780,
100000 from Secretary Daniels es-
Inmates. with probably further re-
auctions to come.
The railroad bill, reduced $45O.000.-
900 by the House, and in which the
Senate committee has concurred.
The object of these reductions in
estimated appropriations is to make
a showing of reduced taxation in the
tax bill. 1t also is to serve notice,
it is said on the departments to
curtail estimates in the future and
to abandon contemplated large enter
priSeS.
