OIL IN BRITAIN's GRIP
Americans Will Depend on England
for Petroleum Supplies

Washington, April 2l.-Frequent
statements credited to English sour
ces that the British Empire will soon
have stranglehold on the future
petroleum supplies of the world are
borne out iy information in posses
sion of various departments of the
Government.
No disposition exists to blame
Britain for her exploitation, they
are regarded as an effort to assure
fuel supplies for her own warshlps
commercial fleets and industries.
But the activities of Britain, coupled
with those of other countries. are
used to warn America that her own
supply of petroleum is dwindling,
and that before long she will be de-
pendent on foreign supplies.
Acquisition of foreign oil lands by
Americans I; urged by government
observers t, inihre fue! for the rev
merchant file more than 6 mi'iion
automobiles, IA navy which, it is as
serted will be the largest in the
world, and to provide the vast guam
titles cf petroleum required by in
dustry. Only in this way. it is as.
serted. can America avoid tremcn-
dous toll in profits to the financial
interests Of other countries in years
TO come.
1t was recently lcaratG by one
Government agency, for instance
that English interests are trying tc
get large concessions in Peru an
exclusive rights to explore for oil
there. 1t was said today by one au.
thority there is not a section of the
world likely to produce oil where
British interests are not seeking ar
rangements which, will enable them
to control OH from the well to the
consumer.
British economists are responsible
for. the statement that with the ex-
ccption of Mexico. and to a lesser
extent, Central America. Great Br;-
tain's control of the future oil sup
ly is secure. They assert British
and Dutch companies will dominate
the oil fields of Russia and Rouma-
MIA, when production there recovers
from curtailment caused by the war
British virtually control the Persian
fields, and French and British are
rapidly acquiring oil lands of III"
Near East The claim is made Rri-
tain's position in Mexico is as good
if not better than Americas. and
that the British have the advantage
in Central America: VenezuelG
Trinidad, and of course in the Brit
ish territory of Egypt and India.

to put the workshops of the North ern railways under martial law to put an end to what it calls the crime of the workers in wasting time in holiday making, according to wire less message from Moscow. The Gov ernment asserts that 1000 working days were thus lost in one month and that "the railway men are ar ranging to have two days of idleness each week at a time when millions of people are hungering and when it is impossible to transport bread owing to lack of railway engines" It notifies the idlers that they will either have to make up for the time "of which the republic has been robbed" or receive penalty under martial law.
 The message issued by the Govern ment is headed Shame Comrades" :" and declares that Russia cannot wait from foreigners but must fight her own internal blockade in order to "end the ruinous condition of things, conquer hunger and save the Soviet Republic"

an evidence of the high protective 1 immunity conferred by the typhoid vaccination"
 ' It is easy to see that, had medical men known of a method of immuni- zation tthe beginning of the Span- llsh-American War, thousands of lives would have been saved. The anti typhoid vaccine was developed bv Wright in 1896 and was given it's first experimental test in India in 1898 when 4000 men were inoculated Later the British used it in the Boer War. It was adopted in the United States Army in 1909 under the di- rection of Russell, and it's use during the recent war brought most grati- flying results.
 In further speaking of diseases in general the report states:
 "For the first two years of the Civ Il War, as compared with 1917-18, the admission and death rates for disease were three and one-half times as high.
 Comparing the rates for the Spanish-American War and the Philippine insurrection, 1998-99, with those for 19171S, the admission rate in 189899 was little over twice as high and the death rate about 20 per cent. higher"
 The wonderful progress of medi.I cal and sanitary science was demon strated in Chicago in 1919 when the death rate from typhoid was reduced to very little more than one per 100000 of population. The rate in that city in 1891 was I'll per 100000.
