war the German government evi-
IDENTITY recognized them as the pro-
perry of a German corporation and
they were not molesied.
Whe nthe amisfice was signed the
Standard Oil Company, through its
Representatives. put in its claim for
its property. and the company order

marked the first real revolt of the
British people against the doctrine

mated in 1648. The death of Crom-

pire, while in 1902 he began to sense
the pangs Of the "spanish ulcer"
