PEOPLE STARVE
THROUGH RICH
FIELDS OF OIL
Rumanian Oil Wells Are In
Ruins as Result of
War

Buzeu, Rumania, July 22.-Here
in the midst of one of the world s
richest oil fields, people have been
actually starving.
Before the war this part of Ru-
mania produced big fortunes in oil,
being one of the greatest sources
of European supply. To-day it's
wells are in ruins and the people are
destitute. The invading armies
requistioned everything that could
be pried loose and transplanted,
paralyzing one of the wealthiest in
dustries in the Balkans.
Workers for the American Rcd
Cross, which is distributing relief in
the form of foods and medicines
throughout the country, have found
people eating bread made of leaves,
twigs and bark from trees People
were bartering the coats off their
backs for small portions of corn and
coarse bran. In one place the relief
workers found small local hospi-
tai in which the patients slept on
boards with no mattress and little
covering. At home they found five
fatherless children, the oldest only
nine years of age, cooking a meal
of tree bark and bran, while the
mother was out at work in the fields.
"Typhus is prevalent and there is
says one American woman's report.
an increasing amount of smallpox"
There is no doctor nor medicines
in this village and absolutely no way
of taking care of the sick. In an
other village which I visited the en-
tire population of 500 persons was
i'll with some obscure form of con-
tagious disease"

Washington, July 22.-The ques-
ton as to where disabled ex-service
men are being re-educated is an
swered by the fact that 5,077 dis
abled soldiers, sailors, and marines
under the direction of the Federal
Board for Vocational Education are
in training in more than seven hun
dred different institutions through
out the country. Five hundred and
forty-six schools and colleges now
number wounded soldiers among
their students; and one hundred and
ninety eight commercial and in
dustrial Establishments have dis
abled men on their force learning
the trade. In order to give the men
the kind of courses they want as
near their homes as possible, the
Federal Board for Vocational Edu-
cation has selected all types of in
stitutions for their training. Ele-
mentary schools and State universi-
ties, the small service station, and
the manufacturing establishments
of the newest type of automobiles
Y. M. c. A. schools, trade schools,
big shops and small shops, all vie
with each other in giving their best
training to these returned soldiers.

KEEPS ON JUMP
Investigation of Anthracite
and BituminouS Industries
May Be Made.

Washington, July 22.-Sweeping
investigation into the anthracite and
bituminous coal industries, with
particular bearing on the prices of
fuel to the consumer, is indicated
by Congress on the initiative of
Representative George Huddleston,
of Alabama, and Senator Joseph s.
Frelinghuysen, of New Jersey, who
have prepared resolutions for such
an inquiry. Why has the retail price
of coal advanced since the signing
of the armistice? and why is it still
advancing? are the two main con-
undrums which these legislators will
PROFOUND to the trade.
AS it is considered certain that
the Senate will favor and conduct
an investigation, it is likely that the
house will not act, especially as Hud-
dleston, as a Democrat. cannot get
the backing of the house steering
committee, while Frelinghuysen is a
Republican, and also his resolution
is more drastic and :ar-reaching
than Huddleston's. First citing the
fact that the price of coal has been
rising steadily and that during the
war this advance was attributed to
war conditions" but in spite of the
fact that since the armistice has
been signed the price has continued
to mount, apparently without econ
omic or other proper reason" the
resolution provides:
Scope of Inquiry
THAT the Committee on Inter-
state Commerce, or any subcommit-
tee thereof, be instructed to make
inquiry into the cause or causes
which have brought about the enor-
nous increase in the market price
of coal, and to that end obtain data
regarding freight rates. wages, pro-
fits and other matters bearing upon
the question under consideration
with a view to ascertaining who or
what may be responsible for such
increase in price, whether due to
economic causes and therefore
proper and right, or whether due
to manipulation or profiteering on
the part of the miners, shippers or
dealers in coal"
The committee is to report its
findings and recommendations, with
view to either congressional or ex-
ecutive action. 'in order to remedy
existing conditions, or the punish
ment of any individual or corpora
tion deemed guilty of unlawful acts"
1t may be recalled that similar in
| vestigation and report were made
by the committee on manufactures,
of the Senate, in the last Congress.
but no action ever was undertaken
as result Of that proceeding.
May Extend Federal Control
According to men very close 10
the Wilson administration, the
probable end of this inquiry is a
further extension of Government
control over the coal industry" 1t
is no secret that this is being urged
vigorously by influential leaders in
many quarters, and the old feul ad-
ministration officials and the Federal
Trade Council commission and manv
others are inclined to such a pro-
gram.
Probability, therefore. prevails.
that tangible movement in the
direction of Federal control will
materialize from Wilson administra-
tion men within the next few
months.

British Minister of Recon

Levels

London, July 22.-Prophecy that
the price of food next winter will
climb to a level never dreamed of"
was uttered by Sir Auckland Geddes,
the British Minister of Reconstruc-
tion, in an address at Crewe recently.
A member of the audience shouted,
"more wages" Sir Auckland replied
that there would be no money to pay
wages because it would have to go
overseas to pay for food
The Minister warned the public
that 1t was squandering its money
in a colossal way on things that did
not matter.
you cannot live like millionaries,"
he said, "if you are as poor as a
church mouse. This nation Is now
poor. 1t is living as If it were
wealthy"
More beer was being brewed in
Great Britain yet people complain or
a shortage. This he attributed to a
doubling of the amount of beer con-
sumed because, since the war, there
was more time to dring it in and more
money to pay for 1t.
BY sending overseas for beer, silk
for stockings and feathers for hats.
Sir Auckland said, the people were
increasing Britain's debt for things
that did not matter. What you
ought to get are food and raw ma
terial," he declared.
Sir Auckland denounced the limita-
tion of output as, stark, staring
lunacy" The mill owners. he said.
limited output to obtain higher
prices and the operators limited it
to make work for more people.

Three Held For Robbing
Freight Car Of Tobacco;
One Denies His Guilt

Charged with the attempted rob-
berry of freight car about two miles
from Shippensburg last Wednesday,
Ralph Taylor, 304 Boas street;
George Forty. of .Hagerstown. Md,
and Charles Custus, Charles Town,
w. Va, were held under $4,000 bail
last evening by United States Com
missioner John A f. Hall. The
men will be given hearings at the
session of United States District
Court. which will open at Scranton
on October 20.
Last evenings hearings were held
in the Dauphin county prison where
the three men have been confined
since the robbery. This was made
necessary because of the condition of
Taylor, who has SO shots of a shot
gun discharge in his body, said to
have been received when he at
tempted to escape after the rob-
berry.
Forty and Custus were surprised
while at work by railroad detectives
and were taken into custody by
Lieutenant Crawford and Sergeant
Lees. The third man, said to. be
Taylor, escaped at the time, although
struck by the shotgun discharge.
Taylor, however, denies any con-
nection with the affair.
Forty and Custus are said by
Captain Paul l.. Barclay, of the
Pennsylvania Railroad police, to
have given signed statements to the
effect that Taylor was the third
man. Captain Barclay also says that
he will be able to produce at the
proper time, witnesses who will be
able to identify Taylor as the man
who escaped
Taylor is believed by railroad po-
lice to have dragged himself for
more than three miles to a farm
house and there persuaded a farmer
to bring him to the home of his par
ents at 1914 North Seventh street,
this city. Taylor was arrested there
and lodged in the Dauphin county
prison after being treated at the
Harrisburg Hospital.
The men are said to have tam
pered with the airbrake system of
the car of cigarets which they are
charged with rifiing, and to have
started work on it when it was de-
tached from the train.

WAS DISGRACEFUL
BARGAIN TOSTRIP
CHINA OF DOMAIN
Senator Norris, of Nebraska,
Bitter in Denunciation of
Shantung Deal

Washington. July 22.-In a vigor-
Gus speech in the Senate Senator
Norris, of Nebraska, bitterly assailed
that feature of the peace treaty pro-
viding for transfer of Shantung PEN
insula with nearly 40,o00.0Oo Chinese
to Japan. q
Senator Norris charged that Japan
secretly secured pledges from Great
Britain, France, Italy and Russia
early in 1917 that in the peace set
tlement Shantung Peninsula should
be turned over to the Toxic Gov
ernment for certain considerations.
Senator Norris backed up his state
ment by producing copies of what he
stated was the diplomatic cores
pondence embodying promises of
Great Britain and France.
Ratification of the Shantung trans
fer, he said, would write the black
est page in the Nations history"
Senator Norris has repeatedly said
that he would not support the treaty
with the Shantung provision in 1t.
He pictured leading Governments
of the Allies as inducing China to
go into the war in order to secure
her assistance and to get possession
of German ships in China's harbors
and all the while secretly plotting
ton as soon as she had complied with
their wishes and the war was over
I'm all the annals of history"
added Senator Norris. II do not be-
lieve there is reported an instance
of a more disgraceful and dishonor-
able agreement to carve up the ter
ritory, not of an enemy but OF an
allied friend"
He declared that under Article y
of the League of Nations as it stands
IL the Chinese in Shantung should
rebel against Japan and the balance
of China should so to the assistance
of their own brethren it would be
our duty Ito contribute American
lives and American blood on the
battlefield to assist Japan to retain
her power"
Senator Norris went on record as
favoring changes in the covenant for
the league of nations.
