May DEPENDON
OTHERS FOR OIL
Government Experts Pre-
diet Production Limit,
Says Holland.

Experts in the employ of the gov
eminent say that unless there is
vastly increased production from
the American oil helds we shall
within a few years reach the limit
of our production of oil. A state
ment OF that kind was made at
least two years ago by DIR. f. @.
Acheson. who felt justified in say
ing that our oil production would
be exhausted in sixteen years UNI
less there be great increase in new
production, or unless there be great
conservation in the manufacture of
oil products. 1t was for the pur-
pose Of urging conservation of our
natural resources that DR.. Acheson
made this statement.
Now at last some OF those who
are leaders in the oil industry have
admitted the truth of these predic-
lions. The Standard Oil Company
of New Jersey has, within a day or
two, asserted through one of its
publications that I'VE know that the
domestic output of oil does not
meet present consumption and that
the amount of this deficit will prob
ably continue to increase" There
fore, q diminishing output with in
creasing consumption will make the
United States to a considerable ex-
tent dependent upon foreign fields.
II the development of foreign oil
fields were carried on properly then
there would probably be enough Sc
cured to meet the world demand for
the next ten years.

GREAT GROWTH
Record Gains Shown in Cur

Bonds Centralizing.

Unprecented growth and develop
ment in the banking power Of the
national banks OF the United States
is shown in their latest official re-
turns, summarized in a report made
yesterday by the comptroller of the
currency.
The report shows that the assets
of the national banks have more
than doubled in six years. and that
their cash in vaults and balances
with the Federal reserve banks ex-
coed all previous records. They
also reveal the fact that Liberty
bonds and Victory notes are being
steadily absorbed by permanent in.
vestors.
On November IL. 1919. the date OF
the returns, the national banks held
total resources of S22,444, ss2, 600.
This Is an increase since September
IL. 1919. of sS2s.575, 900, the greatest
ever previously reported. and an in
crease since November !, 1918, OF
81 623,5SS,000.
AS compared with the returns OF
August g. 1913. the increase is Sll.-
5s5.OOo,Oo. or ~ per cent in about
six years.
The comptroller reports that the
increases in resources are widely dis
tributed. With an increase in re-
sources OF $345.07o. 900 between Sep.

The boy who at Is or Is must
give up his regular schooling and go
to work needs all the help and en-
couragement that his employer can
give him. His mind Is unframed. His
will is undeveloped. His power Of self
dependence is weak. His ability to
plan for himself and direct his efforts
is poor. And yet he is confronted with
a mans problems, he must compete
with mature minds, he must take care
of himself In a new world where clear
thinking, earnest endeavor, and self
control are the determining factors.
The hope, therefore, of the Is
year-old working boy is his boss-the
man who can either make him or ruin
him. Each boy presents to his en-
ployer a wonderful opportunity. Every
young worker Is a challenge to the
man over him, for there before him is
the material out OF which can be
moulded an efficient and faithful en-
ploye. The boy is there with his
latent powers and energy; all he needs

MARKET FACES
GLOOMY WEEK
Unsteady Situation Prevails
In Opinion Of Plungers
And Professors.
BY BROADAN WALL.

New York. Jan. 1S.-College profess
sors. stock market plungers and Of
fee boys have all come to the con-
clusion that there is no hope-no hope
at all for the stock market. All gov
ernments are in a state OF collapse.
The crops Of this. year are going to
be disastrous. 1t doesn't pay any
longer TO mine gold, as silver Is be-
coming the dominant metal of the
world. The coal and oil resources
will soon be exhausted and there will
be no cargo for the ships to carry.
The Bolshevists will overrun Asia,
Europe, Africa, North America, South
America and Australia.
That is the condition under which
Wall Street enters the new business
week tomorrow. But it is remarkable
that in the midst of all this absolute
hopelessness. Belgium should be able
to float a bond issue in "A hours.
1t may be after all there Is some
hope. 1t may be possible that Wall
Street has Overdiscounted the situa-
llOh anu ludL the DcdIS may MT u
make a settlement for what they
have done.
Everything possible has been done
to bring about a complete collapse
in the stock market and yet 1t refuses
to collapse. There have been some
very uneasy hours and cruel losses
have been visited upon many persons,
but at all times there has been a
market for stocks within q narrow
range.
There has been unnecessary Worry
over the crops of this year. The carry
over of 1919 is so large that a partial
failure here will do no damage. One
of the good results of the attacks that
have been made on the market by
Wall Street bears has been the de-
flation of the market for the stocks
of concerns claiming to be oil COM
panies. Most of these so-called oil
companies have marked up the value
of their stocks to three or four times
the prices at which they were origi-
nally taken over BY underwriters and
syndicates. There have been sensa-
tional profits for the insiders, and the
public has been swindled most unmer-
cifully.

REDCROSS IN
SIBERIA
All Women and Many Men
Ordered to Leave With
U. S. Troops.

In accordance with the govern
ments plans for the withdrawal next
month OF American troops and rail-
way engineering units from Siberia,
the American Red Cross yesterday
announced curtailment OF its relief
operations in that country. A cable
gram has been sent from national
headquarters to Vladivostok. in
structing the Red Cross commits on
to arrange for the withdrawal with
the military Of all Red Cross women
personnel and such other personnel
as is not needed to look after relief
supplies already shipped into Siberia.
This will require several weeks and
will leave in the field only the men
concerned with supply, warehouse,
accounting and general administra-
tive work connected with giving the
distressed population all the help pos
sible.
The cable instructs the commission
to arrange for the continuation of
such relief measures for the civil
ian population as is practicable I'M
der the circumstances. through the
distribution Of supplies already on
hand and other forms OF Red Cross
service. 1t Ia planned to dispatch a
special representative from national
headquarters to assist in closing OPP
erations in the Siberian field. which
will probably include the distribu-
ton OF drugs and other medical sup
plies needed by the hospitals. now
in the hands OF the Red Cross COM
mission and the American military
forces.
The American Red Cross Commits
sion to Siberia was dispatched to
that country in July, 1918. At one
time it conducted relief operations
over a stretch of 5000 miles from
VladivostolS to the Ural Mountains
The personnel now attached to the
commission totals 100 American doc
tors, nurses and other relief work
ers, and about as thousand native
helpers.
