Opinion on oil Is Divided.

Opinion here is just as widely divided
en- the prospects OF oil In Mesopotamia
as regards tho political situation there.
All OF the oil concessions there were
granted before the war, and the Govern
ment insists that no new ones have been
given; that all the pre-war concessions
will bo respected, and that the admin
istration is not talinga advantage OF tho
situation TO the prejudice or foreign
claims. Persons with claims, and also
the Government, probably have accurate
surveys OF the oil reserves. and among
those with claims is the Standard Oil
Company. upon whom the British Gov
crnment frankly places tho blame for
much OF the agitation against the Brit
ish Governments Mesopotamian policy
and the Governments methods OF keep
ing out all prospectors and commercial
travellers.
The wide difference OF opinion IN
Great Britain herself regarding Mcsopo-
tamia was we'll illustrated by the ex-
preston by one OF the greatest authori-
ties on that country. who told THE NEW
York HERALD correspondent here that
Great Britain ought to evaouats not
only Mesopo tamia but Palestine as we'll,
and that France ought to be made to
get out OF Syria.

The Foreign Office refused 10 indicate

said there would be no travellers allowed

throughout the country. However. re-
ports from Mesopotamia recently have
been encouraging ana indicated that a
stable Arab Government under British
tutelage was not far off.
Measures for disarmlng the tribes,
whatever these measures are, were de-
scribed as being so successful that COM
plete disarmament was expected this
month.
In one district, where the entire tribe
had risen. more than 900 rifles were
collected without the aid of imperial
troops. As soon as the disarmament is

that an Arab Council of State was al

Although tribal anlmosities seem
reconciled, a sharp religious contest has
been fomentsi because all the moro i'm

OFFICIALS TO
THINK IT OVER
Street Railway and City Con

Officials Of the Indianapolis Street
Railway Company will take several days
to think the matter ever bSfore resum-
ing conferences with city officials for
negotiations of a contract to take the
place of the surrendered franchise and
looking toward the elimination of jitney
bus competition.
Such deliberation, declared DR.. Henry
jameson, president of the board Of di-
rectors, after the meeting of the execu-
tive committee of the board Wednesday
afternoon, is necessary in order that the
cOmpanys officials may be absolutely
sure Of their ground before entering into
any discussion which, If hastily consum-
mated. might result in relief which would
be only temporary.
I'VE simply are not ready now" said
the traction head, declining to discuss in
detail what went on in the conference.
Further meetings Of the executive commit
tee probably viii be held before the com
pany heads talk with city officials again,
he indicated.
Authority to negotiate with city officials
is held by Robert 1. TODD, president and
general manager, and DR.. Jameson, the
latter said, but any settlement would have
to be sanctioned by the company's at
tOrneys and the fun board Of directors so
it is likely that a program in which all
concur, viii be outlined before the next
meeting with the municipal authorities, 1t

JUNEAU TO PUT GOOD BASEBALL
 TEAM IN FIELD
Manager Woodland Elated Over Discovery of Slug
 ger of Ruth Type.

No baseball team these days ia complete without Babe Ruth in the lineup. Manager Jack Woodland of the Juneau Fire Department nine has a hunch that in Monroe, re- cent arrival in the city, he has found a man who will drive in a flock of runs this season with his mighty slugging.
 Monroe turned out for practice on the Last Chance Basin grounds last night and made a most favorable impression. He is big and fast, weighing well over 200 pounds, and hes q strong throwing arm. No batting practice was indulged in lest night, but those who have seen him hit say he is a slugger, batting left handed and hits 'em a mile" He is an outfielder. He is an ex- army man and says he played in France last year.
 Another good prospect uncovered this season is Lottsfeld, a pitcher and first baseman. I4ottsfed has played lot of amateur ball around Seattle and two years ago pitched for Cordova, He handles himself like a regular ball player
 There was a goodly turnout last night for the first practice workout and Manager Woodland believes that Juneau will be we'll represented on the diamond this year Nearly all the members of last years club will be on the job again, including Fry, Bernhofer and fleming of the pitching staff, Gamorra behind the bat. Henry and Mcdonald in the in field and Woodard in the outfieil. Jim McCloskey is expected to turn out for a berth on the infield.
 Buys Thane Outfit.
 The Fire Department has pur- chased the Thane and Perseverance baseball uniforms, also all the base ball and other athletic parapher- nalia of the Thane Athletic Club. The boys are elated over this stroke of fortune, as they were in dire need of a new outfit and got thee stuff at very reasonable figure.
 The next baseball practice will be held Thursday night. A. F. Me Kinnon will be the fire hall at seven o'clock to take the players out to the grounds in his auto truck.
 practice game may be arranged for next Sunday.
