OIL FIELD CLAIMS
WILL BE FOUGHT
Government Will Try to Prove
Fraud in Many.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 25.-The navy
department will contest more than 75
per cent Of the claims filed by oil com
psnies and individuals upon lands in the
huge reserves of the navy in southern
CaIifirnia. it was learned authorita-
lively today.
Today is the last of the six months
limit set for filing claims under the con
ditions of the oil leasing bill passed by
Congress dated Feb. 25, 1920.
Of the more than 100 claims which the
navy department estimates have been
fled at the department of interior. not
more than % or 50 will he granted leases
under the trms of the bill without stiff
contest upon the part Of the depart
ment. The other 20 or more claims Will
be fought on the grounds of fraud.
Tne fraud is if varying degree. accord
ing to department Nofticials, but in all
cases Il is sufficient to deprive the
claimants of any rights to produce from
the reserves. Some of the claims are filed,
department officials say, where it Is
known that the wells are not producing.
some are alleged frauds against the
original locations and others are al
legged to have been accomplished through
the use of dummy drillers
Some of the claims will be contested
on the grotind that the claimants had
reasonable knowledge Of fraud in the
original claims.

EUROPE AGAIN
is SWAYING ON
BRINK OF WAR
Next IS Hours Expected to De-
eide Future Allied
Action.
DECISION UP TO SOVIET

LONDON, Aug. 25.-Whether most of
Europe again win be involved in war was
expected today to be decided within for
ty-eight hours.
Russia has until Friday evening to re-
ply to the Anglo italian note demanding
modification Of her peace terms to
Poland.
Premier Lloyd George has informed the
Bolsheviki, through Arthur Balfour, lord
president of the council. that unless
satisfactory reply is forthcoming within
the time limit Great Britain VIII change
its policy toward Russia.
Committed to the same action is Italy,
France and possibly Belgium.
In the event of a resumption Of hostih-
ties on a major scale, the Germans may
become involved, since the sentiment Of
the German populations bordering on
Poland is frankly pro Russian.
It was predicted In well informed cir
cles this afternoon that the Poles and
Russians would abandon the extreme
terms they were trying to inforce on
each other and adopt a more moderate
tone.
The reds it was reported, already had
given up their demand for creation Of
proletariat militia in Poland, but this
was unconflrmed.
1t was reported also that the armistice
conference at Minsk might be transferred
TO Warsaw
Officials Of East Prussia are reported to
have asked for volunteers to aid the reds
and, according to some advices, no steps
have dbeen taken TO inferno the thousands
of Russians who fed into East Prussia

The bolshevik representatives., KameneS~
and Krassin, have already applied for
their passports and expect to leave Lon
don on Friday In the event their govern
ment fails to aceede TO the entente's de-
mandS
Both contend that Lloyd George was
informed fully regarding the holshe7ik
terms to Poland aud only seized on the
red proposal for creation Of a civil militia
in Poland as 4 safe pretext on which 70

The Minsk correspondent OF the Her
aid telegraphed that the next session
Of the commission was expected to be
the hnal one, the correspondent said.

increase Of 20 per cent, will bring to
the railroads about S20GO0,0O0 4 month
