sion, II one were appointed, would
have to decide between equal rights
to all nations in exploration for oil
in Mesopotamia and exploration only
when it was authorized by the Brit
ish Government.
No doubt the British Government
believes il has good case or 1t
would not be asking for arbitration
of the dispute. But it's argument will
have to rest on something more con-
crete than the mere allegation con-
tanned In Lord CURzoN's note setting
forth that the United States already
controls the larger share Of the
worlds OF production at the present
time. That contention Is becoming
so threadbare by repetition and con-
slant refatation, or rather stultifica-
ton. that 1t II now the opposite Of
convincing.
1t Is true that this country mines
nearly two-thirds Of the worlds to-
tai supply Of petroleum. This Oil Is
obtained from our own wells, and
every barrel taken out OF the ground
depfetes our future supply by just 80
much. But we have not monop-
oily or a majority of the worlds fu-
ture oil supply. Great Britain has.
These British holdings are not lin
tied to Persia, Russia, Mesopotamia
and the East Indies. Great Britain
has vast undeveloped tracts on this
side OF the Atlantic in Venezuela,
Colombia, Mexico, Canada and even
In the United States. Possibly If all
the oil in the ground could be meas
ured II would be found that Great
Britain owns rs per cent. of it.
When these facts are taken into
consideration 1t does not require much
perspicacity to find the holes in the
argument that because we are spilling
out our oil faster than any other ma
tion, at a suicidal rate in fact, we
should be satisfied with the supplies
we have on this continent without
trying to enlarge our holdings in the
Near East, where, by special agree
ment at San Reno without the assent
of the United States, the British oil
companies are intent upon solidify-
ing their monopoly.

The. Oil Supply Facts.

Informal suggestion hns been trans
mitted TO the Washington Government
that England would be willing to set
tie the dispute over the San Reno
agreement having to do with equal
rights in the Mesopotaman oil fields
by submitting the matter to a Joint
commission Of American and British
representatives. This plan, It Is con-
tended. would have an advantage
over the usual procedure through dip
lomatic channels because 1t would
hasten d settlement.
Ii Is evident from this suggestion,
which emanated from British sources,
that Great Britain does not view Mes
opotamia IN the same light ns our
Government. England does not be-
lieve. MS we 10, that Mesopotamia is
one Of the spoiis Of war. She asserts
that her pre-war arrangements Gov
ering certain Turkish territory now
extend to the whole Of the land
granted under the mandate. The
issue Is thus clear cut. The commits

their own pockets outfit them from

The conduct of these creditable
representatives of the United States
was such that the women among the
refugees sent long note of thanks
TO Captain WYMAN Of the Olympia
declaring that besides ministering to
their physical needs the sailors from
our warships had brought hope to
the hopeless"
These Incidents are the more graft
flying because the men who have won
this unstinted praise do not represent

relief work but are only fair speci-

Tax Exemption.
Charge That Legislative Promise
Of 1916 Has Been Evaded.

To THE NEW YORK HERALD 1t would
seem that the legislative promises OF tax
exemptions sometimes take on an ap-
pearance which is not carried out in
their practical Interpretation. The claim
Is made that investors and home seek
ers. led by the legislative promise to
exempt real estate from taxes for ten
years, will be induced to purchase plots
and build.
But the investor. trusting to this leg
islative promise. must reflect that the
State by Chapter 261 Of the laws OF
1915 exempted bonds and secured debts
from all State and local taxes for five
years from the date of payment on the
same of a fiat tax Of 75 cents for each
500 of face valuation. Now the income
on such bonds. notwithstanding such ex-
emption, is being subjected to taxation
although the five year period is not at
an end. Such ruling by the State Comp
troller has to this extent nullihed the
law and destroyed the legislative prom
Use. How much more can builders and
investors rely on the ten year exemp-
tion? r. FLOYD CLARKE

A Citizen Sends His Shirt.

There should be monument TO the
Buffalo patriot who has sent his shirt
to the State Income Tax Bureau, ex-
planning that it was all he had left.
The subject is heroic. ROBIN is dead,
but BARNARD might put in the neces-
sary amount OF agony and grief. Il
only regret" the text might say,
''that I have but one shirt to give to
my State"
Thousands Of men know how the
Buffalonian felt as he prepared his

Unsuitable tax god. They too are

has been a stripping spring. Scarcely
anything is left. Two kinds Of in
come taxes, the local tax, the school
tax, the automobile tax, the dog tax
all fell due close together. And of
course mortgage payments and life
insurance premiums have trick OF
be bbing up In the vernal season.
Tomorrow, however, the agony
will be over until the next Federal
tax instalment is to be met. The
citizen can settle down to the routine
of the expenses that have burdened
men for centuries: food, clothing.

can go and see Babe RUTH hit 'enl

Light on an Historic Flight.

The escape of the Empress EU-
GENIE from Paris and her safe ar
rival at Deauville, on the French
coast, with the assistance of DR..
EVANS. the American dentist who was
practising his profession In Paris at
the time Of the fall Of the Second
French Empire, have been told with
considerable detail by DR.. EVANS
himself. The facts regarding the con-
tinuation of her flight to England
are much less familiar and have been
shrouded in more or less mystery.
These facts are given in a letter
written fifty-one years ago by Sir
JOHN MONTAGUE BURGoyNE, who died
recently, and made public for the
first time by the London Times few
days after his death.
Sir JOHN carried the Empress from
the harbor of Deauville to Ryde. on
the English coast, in his small yacht.
the Gazelle, through one of the worst
storms which ever swept the English
Channel. One point which he wished
TO make was that he did not go to
France with the intention of mixing
up in foreign complications, and that
II was purely by accident that he
fell into this remarkable adventure.
He was detained at Deauvllle, where
he had gone to meet Lady BURGoyNE,
by heavy winds, and one afternoon
two strangers came aboard and asked
TO be shown around the yacht. One
of them suddenly asked TO be al
lowed to say few words In private;
"He then Informed me that the EN-
press was concealed In Deauville.
wishing to be conveyed to England,
and asked me If 1 would undertake
to take her over on the yacht" One
of the men proved to be DR.. EVANS,
the other his nephew. 1t was finally
arranged Sir JOHN should accept her
as passenger and that the yacht
should leave the pier ut five minutes
after midnight on September Z. 1870.
The presence Of the little vessel In
the harbor had evidently excited sus-
pirlon. for that evening there came
aboard Russian, who announced
that he had brought friend from
Paris who was anxious to see n
yacht. The men were unquestlon-
n
he had got rid Of them only A short
time before the Empress, accompanied
by Madame lie BREToH and DR.. EVANS,
came aboard Empress EUGEErE suf-
fcrcd "fr'~htful discomfort" for the
weather was heavy with nasty sen
running. That they finally reached
Ryde was due to the fact that the
Gazelle was stanch little craft

and behaved we'll. The Empress had
no luggage OF any kind. Sir JOHN
wrote: M. DE LEssEPs had nothing
whatever to do with her escape;
believe Prince METTERNIcH planned
It and DIR. EVANS carried 1t out most
skilfully."
This letter has led to much discus
sion in Europe. One of the correspond
ents of the Times who commented
upon 1t said that Sir JOHN had told
him that If the Gazelle bad foundered,
as he fully expected during the passage
that she would, lit would have been
a mystery for all time as to what
had become Of the Empress, since
every soul who knew that she was
aboard would have gone to the bot
tom with her" This, however, is
not the fact. Relatives OF DR.. EVANS
now In this country have said that
Mrs. EVANS and the doctors nephew
were in Deauville at the time and saw
the departure OF the Gazelle with
EUGENIE aboard. There were at least
two persons who knew that the EN-
press was on the yacht. The loss Of
the Gazelle would have been one of
the romantic tragedies of the sea but
not one OF its unsolved mysteries.

Getting Steel and All Costs Down

Judge GARy'S announcement of a
further cut In prices by the United
States Steel Corporation is COM
mendable step on the road back to
normal production and business. But
1t is only step. and a short step at
that, on the journey which must be
travelled by big business and little
business, employer and employee, be-
fore American industry can again be
sound, active and prosperous.
This means that everybody must
do his share. The manufacturer
alone cannot do It, The farmer alone
cannot. The distributor alone can
not Either the wage Garner, the
biggest, by far the biggest factor of
all in the inflated production and liv-
ing costs, must lend willing hand
or the economic emergency will COM
pei him to lend an unwilling hand.
The great United States Steel Cor
poration, like other industries, must
have lower wages before the founda-
tional costs of production can be right,
SO as to give prices to the public that
will be right. The country's great
railway system must have lower wages
before the foundational rates Of dis
tribution can be right The nations
great agricultural industry. the back
bone of the United States. must have
lower labor costs before the price Of
Americas bread and butter can be
right.
When general production costs are
thus brought down to something ap-
proximating pre-war costs wage earn
ers, like everybody else, will be all
the better off. Then production, with
ont which the nation must die of dry
rot. viii quicken. employment will be
abundant, earnings will be regular and
the cost OF living will be down again
within eyerybody's reach.
