BURR AND BURTON NOTES

The Burr and Burton girls left foi
Rutland on Friday afternoon to play
their scheduled game with the Rutland
Community House girls at s O'Clock
that evening. The game was played
on the Gymnasium floor in the Com.
munity House. 1t was a dreary and
rainy day but the hopes of the Semin-
ar girls were not once daunted, Coach
NJ. Salter, with seven players, seemed
to be the only representatives of Man
chester At s O'Clock the teams were
eager to play and sobn the game was
called and real contest was in
progress The Burr and Burton girls
started off rolling up a score, but they
soon found that the Rutland girls were
a good match for them. The score
kept decidedly close all through the
game, with the Seminary score leading
just enough to make it comfortable.
The score at the close Of the first half
was IL to 10 in favor Of Burr and
Burton. At the close Of the second
half the score was % 10 p, still in
favor Of Burr and Burton. Each team
had excellent pass work and all the
players deserve credit for the final
score. Rutland comes to Manchester
for a return game next week. The
date will be announced later. Lineup

 London, Apriy 26.-In the gigantic i international battle for control of the worlds oil sources, in which Britain ! and America have been the leading figure thus far, France is taking giant { strides today by gaining almost com s.plete control of the Polish oil fields. : America is merely an observer. But k she is watching the French strides through the eyes of Standard Oil rep SreSentatives and through government f agents.
 These men state that France is to ; ask for compensation for her services in stepping in and saving Poland when : the Soviet armies were at the gates :. asking is complete control over s5 ; per cent of Poland's vast oil wealth. France to Dominate Galicia.
 This statement is supported by rep in London. who admit that an agree
 ment has been reached whereby France will dominate the oil fields of Galicia-
 The first stages of this develop !, ment in international division of what E is today perhaps the most vital raw ] material are in the form of negotia- tfons now under way for transfer to !. French capitalists of s50,o0o, 900 worth of British oil interests in GaIi- [ cia and Southern Poland. British ownership in that oil field { has predominated up to this time. Foreign ownership has aggregated : 100 million dollars divided 50 mill : lion among British companies 35 million French and IS million Bel : gium-
 Practically none of the properties were owned by oIish capitalists, for the reason that, before the war the present Poland was divided among : Germany Austria and Russia. and ! Poles were not to the fore in control of natural resources or production.

Tiny Island Is NerUe
 Center OfThe Pncifc

The geogra phica1 position of Yap | was the cause of the passing of this. 1 more or less idyllic condition. A | glance at the map shows that it oc- cupies a central position in the West ern Pacific, and is equally well situ- ated for communication with Japan, China, the Philippines, the Dutch East Indies and New Guinea. More over, it is a convenient station on the Erans-Pacific route via Honolulu to San Francisco.
 German Flag is Raised
 When Germany entered the col- in 1885 the gunboat Iltis raised the German flag on the island. There was much excitement in Madrid, but the Pope being appealed to decided ever, some fourteen years later, in 1899, after the Spanish-American War, Spain sold the Carolines, togeth- CT with the Peiew and Marianne Ga droEe) Islands, to Germany for s4.- 200, ,000-aH except Guam Island in the Ladrones, which the United States had acquired in 1898. Guam is some 360 miles from Yap-a trihng dis tance in the Pacific-and has much the same geographical position.
 Guam Equally Important.
 Both Germany and the United States realized the importance of these two islands as cable bases. To- day an alI-American cable runs from
 
 and Manila to Shanghai, while from Guam another cable-the southern part American, the northern Japan ese-goes direct to Yokohama. The Germans on their part, through the agency of the German Netherlands Company, laid cables direct from Yap to Shanghai, from Yap to Menado, in the Dutch East Indies, and from Yap to Menado, in the Dutch East Indies, and from Yap to Guam. The Yap-Guam cable was of much service to Americans as it gave them an al- formative to the Guam-Manila cable for communication with China.
 On the outbreak of the war Jap anese naval forces occupied the La drone, Pelew and Caroline Islands, in cluding Yap, and on May ', 1919, the Peace Conference gave the mandate for the islands to Japan. By the treaty of Versailles Germany, among other cables, renounced in favor of the principal Allied and Associated Powers the cables from Yap to Shang-1 hai, to Guam and to Menado.

Neeotiattons Started Early.

Control by British capital became final when, during the war, the Brit ish alien enemy property custodian took over German and Austrian owned oil securities Management of the Galician oil fields during the war was in the hands of an 'Interna- tionaI Committee appointed to pro- tect British, Belgian, French and Al lies oil interests in Galicia," as the or ganization was officially named. Chas. Perkins, managing director of the British Premier Oil Company, Ltd, was the head of this international committee.
 Even before the Bolshevist drive into Poland, tentative negotiations were on foot for the transfer of Brit ish Galician interests to French con troll The later developments, how ever. have stimulated the movement
 The Polish Government during the period of it's srength realized the inn portance of the nations future of con- trol of oil districts Some months wore branded by foreign oil managers on the ground as nothing short of confiscatory. Prompt international negotiations followed and resulted in the repeal of these orders.
 When, subsequently,, Poland was forced to look to Entene nations for support in her time of need, her am bitions for control of her own fields in the face of a threatened national calamity.
 France Gets Allies Holdings.
 American oil men declare that it is generally understood tha France made a deal with the Polish Govern ment regarding oil control before French generals jumped into the breach and saved Warsaw from cap ture by the hnlsheviks. Regardless of whether the first steps were made before the Polish offensive, as a price of assistance, or after the success of the offensive as a reward for services performed, confirmation is obtained in London of the fact that Poland agreed to the Frenh terms and that by the plans now being negotiated the former German and Austrian hold ings now controlled by Britain also go to French capitalists.
 The Galician oil is especially valu- able because of the high gasoline con- tent, some of the oil wells yielding

 New York, April 26-The island of
 Tap in the Northern Pacific, one of the Caroline group. has suddenly sprung into prominence in conse- iGuence Of its being the cable com munication nerve center of the Pa eric
 It will be recalled that during the Peace Conference in Paris, in May, 1919, at a meeting at which the Jap anese representative was present, it was decided that the mandate for the |: Pacific islands north of the Equator formerly belonged to Germany should be awarded to Japan, and the man date for those south of the Equator to Australia and New Zealand.
 It is said that some time before this meeting was held there had been a meeting of Foreign Ministers at the Quai d'Orsay, at which MT. Lansing, State, made a reservation excluding Yap from the islands which were to be placed under the mandate of Japan. It is said no official record exists of MT. Lansings declaration on this occasion
 The United States has no wish to acquire Yap, only equal cable rights with all nations, and asks that the Island should be internationalized:
 The contention of Japan is said to be that all the islands north of the Equator formerly owned by Germany were intrusted to her.
 The Story of the Island.
 Guap or Wap-either is a more correct spelling than Yap-was dis covered by Spanish navigators in the sixteenth century and, like the other islands of the Caroline archipelago, came under Spanish dominion. Yap Island itse1f-rocky and picturesque, with groves of bamboo and cocoa and areca palms-was neglected by the SpaniardS, and its some 1000 to B. 900 inhabitants, who are apparently of the Malay race, were left very much to their primitive state-eo their fishing and raids on the pearl-shen beds of their neighbors in the Pelew Islands, their cultivation of yams and the worship of the thirty gods whom they recognized. They divid- ed themselves into four classes-mag- fcians, nobles, rich men and slaves and at any of their settlements tha presence of a large number of stone discs or wheels, the current coinage of the people. Indicated the residence of a pfutocrat.

as high as 50 per cent of gasoline. Besides which all the Galician oils also rich in paraffin and the coal tars, from which enormously valuable by products are manufactured.
 There is perhaps only one other oil field which rivals Galicia in the richness of the by-product content that in Alaska, situated at Katalla, on the south Alaskan coast. But the value of Galician oil consists also in it's geographical location. For east ern Germany, Czecho-Slovakia Po- land and north Russia, as well as Els thonia, Lithuanias Litvia and the Scandinavian countries, Galician oil is economically nearer and more read fly available than oils from any other fects every country bordering on Po- land.
 Poland's Best Weapon.
 This will mean much for France. Its power was shown recently when bitter dispute arose between Poland ing it's trump card and threatening to shut off the oil supply from the Czechs, discovered that it's oil prop critics were it's best international as we'll as individual asset. Paris will now have the word of authority in Poland's best international weapon.
 The Standard Oil Company of New Jersey has tankage interests in Gal icia. MT. Topliffe, manager for a for mer Standard subsidiary in the terri tory centering around Spain, was late 1y sent to Warsaw and Gahcia to look that Standard Oil will not get out of that field, but it's interests there, so far as known, are not in production of oil and it's refining, but in the hold ing of considerable tankage capacity for the purchase of finished products,
