WaShington-France and Great Brit ain, according to information reaching Washington tonight from an authOri- tative source, have concluded an agree mcnt in connection with oil supplies designed to secure international eos operation and to eliminate cOmpe titiou which might give rise to friction be- tween them
 The provisions of the agreement, 1t is understood, extend to all countries where the oil interests of the two ma tions can be usefully united or might be in conflict The agreement deals specifically with the French and Brit iSh crown colonies and provides for co- operation in connection with conner eial concessions to develop oil wells in Rum0uia, Asia Minor, Galicia and the territories of the old Russian Empire.

.F|LE5U|T T0DECLAREP PEACE
PETITION FILED FOR MANDAMUS :
 IS LOST. Action Against Secretary of State Colby Is Dismissed by the
 Supreme Court.

Washington.-Chie Justice Mccoy of the District of Columbia supreme court dismissed the petition for manda- mus to compel Secretary of State Col by to promulgate the congressional peace resolution vetoed by President Wilson and declare the United States at peace with Germany and Austria. Harry $. Mccartney, an attorney of Chicago, who filed the appeals and ing a writ of certiorari from the United States supreme court to transfer the case to that tribunal without waiting for the action of the district appellate tribunal.
 .Walying the point of absence of for ma demand as pointed out by the court, government attorneys called the attentions of the court to the section of the revised statutes of the United States in which is set forth the power of the Secretary of State over the laws as passed by Congress. The at torneys asserted that the secretary may declare as laws only such acts of Congress as had received the ap- proval of the president of the Senate or the speaker of the House, depending on which body was the last to pass the act over the veto.
 As the peace resolution, after being vetoed by President Wilson, failed of re-enactment in the House, the govern ment eontended the peace resolution never reached MT. Colby, and a manda- mus to compel him to promulgate something which he has never received would be vain and useless.

LUDENDORF OFFERS ARMY TOF|GHTREDS
ASKS TREATY ANNUlMENTS IN EXCHANGE AND RETURN TO
 GERMANY OF POSEN
SITUATION SAID TO BE SERIOUS
German War Lord Makes Offer to British Office Following Contin- ucd Gains of Bolshcvists
 In Poland.

Paris.-General Ludendorff, the Ger lin dispatch to the Journal to have made an offer to the British charge d'affaireS at Berlin to raise an army of 100000 men to fight the Bolsheviki in Russia in exchange for the return to Germany of Posen and the anHul- ment of certain clauses of the Yer sailles treaty, among them the ones dealing with Danzig.
 The Franco-British mission 10 Po- land has made q report of the military situation in that country, which, il de clareS, is not so desperate but that it can be retrieved without great diff eulty if the missions three main recom- mendations are followed.
 The mission reports that the Polish man power is satisfactory. both as to quality and quantity. Ii recommends, first, the immediate sending of muni- tions to Poland; second, the immediate employment of 500 French officers and 200 British officers, and third. re- grouping of the Polish army, notably the moving of troops from the Galician front to the northern front
 In connection with these recom- mendations it can be stated:
 Firstly, 1t has been decided that France is to send munitions immedi- ately via Danzig; the French have said they have not shipped any munitions to Poland since the offensive began more than two months ago. Secondly, 600 French officers, whom it is intend ed Poland shall place at once in sens ible positions, belong mostly to the permanent French military mission to Poland, the remainder having accom- plished the Franco British mission i; these officers went to Poland as ln- structors. but have not been allowed real power by Gen. Joseph PilSudSki, President of Poland and head of the Polish army
 IL can be added additionally that Gen Delma Radcliffe of the Franco. British mission has insisted upon Po- land accepting the services of two or three hundred experienced British of ficers immediately. General Pilsud- ski Is said finally 10 have accepted these, though it Is difficult to convince him at present that he wished direction of the Polish army to be in foreigr hands.

FINANCIER SAYS U.S. NEEDS VOICE AbR0AD
FESTUS J. WADE, ST. LOUIS BANKER, SEES DANGER IN
 TARIFF RING.
HELP FROM AMERICA NEEDED
He Emphasizes Importance of Con- genial Relations With England- Says the Allies Must As5
 Germany.

New York.-Festus J. Wade, St. Louis financier. arrived home on the White Star liner Olympic from two months survey of the economic, financial and industrial conditions of England, France and Belgium.
 Wade believes that the stricken countries can only get on their feet by help from the United States and that the entente now understands that Ger many must get all the aid that it is possible to give her-this, of course, when she has shown beyond all doubt that she will accept her obligations. He believed that she is in Il position to begin meeting these obligations and ,hat there is no doubt but that she will be able to pay the vast indemnity that the victorious countries demand, even though 1t may take twenty-five to fifty years.
 "Germany Lost Only Men"
 He argues that she lost nothing out side of the man power. which was the greatest loss sustained by all concerned in the war He regrets that the United States Is not represented at the all important conferences held by the Al lies. He also believes that sooner than we expect we will feel the effects of the great tariff wall that surrounds the United States and that it lies with us to straighten out the Appreciated rate of exchange which Is hampering our foreign trade.
 Il was surprised to find how rapidly the reconstruction work is going on, especially in Belgium" says MT, Wade, where l dare say it has progressed with S5 per cent of normal or what it was in 19l4 It is remarkable the way the Belgians have taken hold of their great task and the way that the peas antry is working on the farms. Both i in Belgium and in France the farm work is teeminG Everywhere one goes 1 there is to be seen the vast fields under l cultivation.
 Right now I wish to say that every 1 citizen of the United States must stand 1 by England, for England is today still the money center of the world, and she 1 will continue in that capacity for many years to nothing can usurp her. She has earned her position as the worlds financial center by long experi- ence and brains.
 To-day, after all her troubles in the war, she Is back on her feet going along at the same old gait, with every thing practically normal, and, despite 1 her great debt, is the worlds money center.
 France needs coal more than any thing elSe-in fact, that is about all that she does need in her everyday life. Because of the lack of coal, the night life of Paris is not what it used to be, but aside from that, it Is about the same old Paris.
