The Treaty with the South Ameri-
can state of Colombia, by which she
is TO receive from the u. s. the sum
of s25,000,0O0, has been ratified by
the Senate with large vote. Such
an act by a democratic administra-
tion could have been expected, but
it was hardly believed that the Re-
publican party would in this way dis
credit the administration of Roose-
welt, as it can hardly be interpreted
to mean anything else than an ad-
mission that we did Colombia
wrong. The changed attitude of some
of the Republican Senators, however,
is coming to be understood. Large oil
resources have been discovered and
oil is now king. The friendship for
Colombia is no longer just a matter
Of sentiment or of justice.

England's great industrial miners
strike has not interfered with plans
for the largest industrial exposition
ever planned by any people. II the
plan can be carried out, IL includes
fairs in London, Glasgow, and Birm-
ingham. At these fairs exhibits
from all nations will be shown, and
England hopes to be able to recover
her markets and to increase them
beyond anything enjoyed in the past.
A period Of industrial prosperity
would do much to remove the diff
culties under which England is suf-
fering at present. Other countries
are bound, for self defense, to settle
up existing differences and become
busy in production and trade. This
can become a mighty force toward

OIL NEWS

The Torrent Oil Production Com
pany operating in Estill county, has
recently completed its initial well on
the b. F. Creech farm in the Pilot
district, which is considered by con-
servative oil men to be one of the
best wells drilled in that field for a
lpng time. This well is s6l feet
deep and the oil was found in what
is known as the second pay. After
the pay sand had been penetrated
about 8 feet, the well began flowing
and II is estimated at between 80 and
75 barrels. Raleigh Clark, Of Lex
ington, manager for the company, re-
ports that II has considerable average
in the vicinity Of the new strike, and
that further development work will
follow. f. L. Shea, also Of Lexing-
ton, is the field manager.
The fields Of Upper Kentucky,
along with those Of the Big Sandy
river, continue to show a fair amount
of routine activity. Lee county
shows some strikes each week, and
occasional completion making rs bar
rels. The Superior Oil Corporation
has a new strike on the Townsend
lease of rs barrels capacity. Lee
and adjoining counties Of Wolfe, Es-
till and Powell territory are far from

INSANITY EIGURES DROP

Here is another proof that prohi-
bition is working, all evidence to
the contrary Notwithstanding.
DIR. Menas S. Gregory snd DR..
Clarence L. Dana, neurologists Of
Bellevue hospital, New York, report
that alcoholic insanity cases in
that state hcve dropped from SO
per cent Of total insanity cases in
1917 to 1.9 per cent in 1920.
The decline after the eighteenth
amendment went into effect was
sharper than for any other period
of like duration.
The proportion Of cases Of alco-
holic insanity to the population of
the state shows, naturally, a SINH
lar drop. In 1917 SO per cent of
every 100000 persons were admitted
to insane asylums as a result Of al
coholism. In 1920 the percentage
had fallen to IL.
These figures more thansanswer the
contention Of anti-prohibitionists that
the enforcement Of the eighteenth
amendment is resulting In an in
crease Of insanity thru the consump-
tion Of so-called "hooch" and adulter-
ated liquors illicitly dispensed. They
prove, II they prove anything, that
even in its As yet imperfect opera
tion prohibition Is making for better
ment

Lympne.-The Allied Governments
will be invited to send representatives
to a meeting of the. Supreme Council
to consider the German proposals, IL
they are received in the meantime and
to determine upon immediate collec-
tive action should the German pro
posals be unacceptable.
This was decided upon by Premier
David Lloyd George and Aristide
BRAND at their conversations here. II
the British coal strike is ended the
Supreme Council will meet in Paris I;
IL the strike is not ended, it will meet
in London. The United States Gov
ernment will not be invited to attend
as 1t is not a signatory to the Treaty
of Versailles, under which the Su-
preme Council meets, but both Pre-
miers, II is said, would welcome the
presence of American delegates.
They consider 1t to be unfortunate,
II Is added. that the German Govern
ment should not have sent a copy Of
its latest proposals to them, so that
they might have begun an examina-
ton at this meeting. However, as Mr..
Lloyd George said, they would be glad
to receive them through American
hands.
The conversations between Pre-
miers, of which there have been five,
Of from two to three hours each,
have turned upon the French project
of occupation and economic coistrcl OF
more Of the Rhenish Westphalian
region. NJ. BRAND and NJ. Berthelot ex.
pounded the plans, and Mr.. Lloyd
George questioned the French repre-
sentatives. Both Premiers are agreed
that the Ruhr coal field must be ocou-
pied If Germany continued to default
in payment of indemnities.
1t is learned that no advance on the
Ruhr will be made until after a def
mite decision and approval by the Su-
preme Council. Mr.. Lloyd George and
NJ. BRAND regard Germany's note con-
corning her willingness to undertake
reconstruction of the devastated re-
gions as distinct concession, satisfac-
tory, as far as 1t goes, but they feel
compelled to reserve judgment regard
ing the offer of German labor, as
France has her own labor troubles and
must examine this project in the light
Of Frances internal situation.

Of about $6,O00,000 year.
For the first three months. of this
year, 5,556 civilian employees have
been separated from the Quarter
masters Corps and the approximate
amount Of savings in salaries up to
June 80 will be $2,77S,OOO. In addi-

and depots, with a saving of 1884,

by the Quartermaster Corps, and this
branch of the army is on new
peace-time footing. The 49s differ

Germany's submission of her rep
arations problem to the U. S. to
mediate is one Of the best diplomatic
moves that Germany has made in
recent years. It heads off Frances
immediate occupation of the Ruhr
coal region, and it separates Eng
land, to some extent, from France.
1t gives the u. s., moreover, a won-
derful opportunity to play a great
and fitting part that may do much
TO restore to us our rightful leader
ship. There is some reason to be-
lieve that Germany is anxious for
settlement, and will go farther to-
ward making it in this way than any
other. She is willing to give labor,
to give capital in her industrial en-
terprises, but she cannot, apparently,
disregard the peoples objection to
so large a nominal reparation in ac-
tual money.
