British Seeking World Oil Monopoly
Either Through Tie-Ups or Combines,
y. S. Government Investigation ShoWs

1t has been discovered that there
is a definite movement under way
by the British government to use
its power under the covenant to
maintain supremacy in the oil
fields.
Senator Phelan says he learns
that officers of the Royal Engineers
are making extensive surveys for a
railroad and pipe line to the coast
through Syria, which is within the
French zone. France. for that rea-
son. is claiming her share of the
spOils.
In a summary statement concern
ing the British government, it is
shown that it controls, or is inter
ested in, virtually every spot outside
of the United States in the world
where oil has been found or where
oil resources may be exploited.

two French airmen accompanying
Gen. Laperrine on the flight to

The general decided that they
should start for the mountains of
the Adrar. The going was hard,
their feet sinking four inches into
the hot sand, and the sun was ter
rible. They marched at intervals
until the afternoon of February 20,
when they reached a little height
in the sand and, looking out. saw
nothing but the desert stretching
out in front of them.
1t was then decided that they
must return to the aeroplane, which
they reached again after three
days march.
They rugged up a tent and recov-
cred six gallons of water from the
radiator, leaving six pints in it as
a reserve stock. On February %
