BRITAIN DENIES BIGGER
OIL OUTPUT THAN u. S.
No Real Parallel BetUeen
TUo Countries, Says Report.
By the Associated Press.

LONDON, July 5.-A white paper" on
the oil situation in the form of a note
which Lord CurZon. the Foreign Secre-
tary. sent to Sir Auckland Geddes, Brit
ish Amba ssador in Washington, under
date of April 81, contains a memoran-
dunn compiled by the British Petroleum
Department giving statistics on the oil
resources of every part of the British
Empire and showing an extremely small
oil production and the absence of any
general policy for the exclusion of for
eigners from the oil producing areas.
The memorandum says that in vast
areas where there are no restrictions no
foreign country has attempted to ex-
plore for oil. except I'm British North Bor-
neo, while In Canada and Trinidad
where restrictions are enforced. foreign
capital has been working for many
years.
'Tt can. therefore, hardly be con-
tended the restrictions imposed any Sc
rious disability on foreign enterprise"
the memorandum argues as regards the
closed door policy. mo real parallel
can fairly be drawn between the British
Empire. with It's small and scattered
production. and a country like the
United States. producing two-thirds OF
the worlds output within her home ter
ritory."

Dr.. Rathenau Says Euils Can
not Be Corrected OtherDise.
Bu the Associated Press.

HAMBURG, July 5.-Germany and the
United States were represented as at the
opposite poles of the worlds financial
structure by DR.. Walter Rathenau, Min
lister of Reconstruction, In addressing
to-day the Hamburg committee for the
restoration of peace time economy.
"The United States is the world S
chief creditor and Germany is the
worlds chief debtor, with all other ma
tions sandwiched in between these two
as creditor or debtor nations. each tied
to or obligated to one another" he said
DIR. Rathenau argued that the depre-
citation of the currencies of the various
nations was tending to weld them to-
gether. none of them. with the exception
of the United States. having been able
to escape the ravages of war time and
the postwar economic invasions.
Germany" he continued 'is not a
land Of gold or raw materials. but a
nation which lives and will continue to
live by the work of her hands We
are therefore only able to pay our debts
with our products, our mental and man.
ual labor. This we honestly purpose
to do.
TT is to be hoped" said DR.. Rathe-
nau. in discussing Americas part In the
upbuilding of Europe, that the mighty
nation beyond the Atlantic with which
we hope peace will forever unite us, as
1t has since yesterday, and whose sword
when laid In the balance is equally as
decisive as its pen, will realize that
conditions in Europe cannot be cor
recsed If factor of such giant dimen-
sions as the United States withholds Its

IT Is now known that yesterdays con-
ference OF imperial Premiers discussed
reports on a tentative naval and mill
tary policy submitted by Lord Lee Of
Fareham. First Lord OF the Admiralty;
Admiral Lord Beatty and Gen. Sir Will
lam Robertson. but it was admitted
that any action in this direction de-
pended upon the development of Anglo
American and Japanese relations and
the possibilities Of disarmament
1t was stated in official circles to-
night that all that was needed to bring
Great Britain into disarmament con-
ference with America and Japan was
an invitation from Washington. which
it is expected President Harding may
send following the passage OF the Sen
ate resolution.
To-Day further military information
was given 10 the Premiers, in connection
with the question of the defence Of the
Empire by Sir Laming Worthington-
Evans. Secretary of State for War

defence and Capt. Fred e. Guest, the Air
Secretary, and Major-General Sir Hugh
Montague Trenchard, ex-Chief of the

min,on representatives was appointed
Will Winston Spencer Churchill, Colo
Mai Secretary. as chairman. to consider

Under the present policy OF the Gov

the dominions will help in developing a
scheme Of imperial air communication In
which the big airships will be made
available.

CHOLERA SPREADING
IN EUROPEAN RUSSIA
6, 900 Cases Reported; Petro-
grad and Moscou Hit.

STOCKHOLM. July 5.-Asiatic cholera
Is spreading rapidly I'm the whole of Eu-
ropean Russia, according to the Public
Health Recorder. There were 5000
cases reported up to June rs.
Recently Petrograd and Moscow have
become infected. the disease spreading
quickly and being propagated by the
unusually hot weather and refugees who
have fled from the famine districts. Ac-
cording to the Rostd News Agency in
Moscow all the imperial castles and
country houses of the nobility in the
Crimea will be converted into hospitals
The New York herald., 1921-07-06

is known that fear is entertained of the
effect of reversal OF Japanese policy
which would result In an effort on the
part of the japanese to lead a purely
Asiatic movement. The possible safety
OF India is at stake in such a movement
and the British are naturally inclined to
move carefully.
AS viewed here. Great Britain must
choose between the protection thus Of
fered her Indian possessions and closer
understanding with the United States.
Renewal OF the Anglo-Japanese alliance
will by no means result in strained rela-
tions between Great Britain and the
United States, but it will necessarily in
terfere with the working out of a closer
relationship which might solve the ques-
tion of disarmament and furnish the
basis of closer relations on matters of
merchant marine and other problems.

Imperial Conference Dis

LONDON, July 5.-A great deal of to-
days discussion by the Imperial Pre-
miers hinged around the desirability Of
various parts of the Empire. Much was
made of the fact that for every line Of
Empire news carried by the British press
there were pages and columns of sport

Premier Meighen of Canada took oc-
casion to point out that since landing

References Guarded.

Up to this time the Administrations
has carefully guarded its references to
the Anglo-Japanese alliance, except that
1t has been made clear that this Gov
ernment has not been consulted con-
corning its provisions. II is known
however. that the American Govern
ment places the greatest Importance on
the decision that Is to be reached IN
London concerning the pact and that
the future foreign policy of this Gov
ernment hinges Importantly on the final
outcome of the conference.
The Importance OF the issue is realized
in Great Britain as we'll as here. as
shown by the attitude of the Dominion
Premiers and the earnest propaganda
which British publicists. notably the
Northcliffe press. Is carrying on to bring
about a sort Of gentlemen's agreement
between the two powerful governments
which shall deal with disarmament and
with all questions of political and com.

wABsH1P DISCIPLINE.

The order which has been issued by the secretary of the navy relieving Cap tain Stearns of the command of the bat tleship Michigan indicates there is no desire to institute what has all the pos abilities of dangerous and troublesome practices on our naval vessels. There has been much valuable experience gain ed during the time that we have main that 1t ought not to be undermined by idealistic ideas which are likely to cause more trouble than good.
 The secretary of the navy acts not alone upon his own views but in re- sponse to recommendations by superior officers, including admiral and vice ad- miral of the Atlantic fleet and it is in- tended apparently to be understood as being thoroughly opposed to the institu- tion of bolshevik principles in the navy. Captain Stearns is not regarded as a bolshevist but his plan of leaving to pet ty officers and non-commissioned men certain matter concerning the running of the ship has come to be known as the ''soviet" plan. It is against naval prac- tice and against all policies involving discipline, a radical departure which would be inclined to mean broadening Of the idea until it would be impossible to tell where it would stop. and in ths efforts to develop it and the diffcultie; that might arise from it discipline would be a matter of secondary consid eration.
 How long would it be with such |; committee operating before 1t would hav' an organization that would eclipse tn
 commanding officer? How long woult it be before there would have to be
 committee report before the command | ing officer could issue an order regarding | anything at all?
 The possibilities under the slow de | velopment of such practice are suel | that the commanding officer would be come only a figurehead There is no req
 son to suppose that the commanding of fcer in exercising discipline doesn't con | suit with others in order to get the fact 1 but discipline would be in danger of be 1 ing seriously undermined if the govern

mess, or pain any more.
 To long for rest means first, weariness of body or soul, and who ever lived who has not felt both so often they have for gotten to number them? Days come to us that are darkened with the shadows of the past. Memories haunt us that thrill the soul with a sense of lifes un- certainty of its loneliness. Days peo- pied with mental visions of the faces hidden away under the sod, kept green by the rain of our bitter tears, and we wonder how we have lived through what seemed to us an eternity since they left us alone, yet 1t has been such "a lit- tie while" Life is such chain of end less possibilities. It is so full of de- mands for the best service we can give that the days are never too long-oniy for those who are incapable, by reason of pain or of sorrow, to meet It's de- mands It Is to such hearts that time drags painfully unless they rise above the clouds to where they can look for ward over the short road that lies ahead, over the hin tops to the point where time merges into eternity, and by faith catch a glimpse of what the Father has awaiting them of friends, love, peace, and happiness to be undisturbed forever more in little while.
 Have not your keenest sorrows been those which seemed to you would live forever? The ones you could not in spite of your best reasoning. believe it possible to forget. You could have been brave, if you had been able to see far into the future that they would pass into the shadows of the receeding years te make room for other things the Father would lay upon your heart, which. if you would let them, would bring healing and rest.

YALE,s VICTORY.

Even though 1t has been heralded as h all probability a close race the out come of the long-standing struggle be- tween Yale and Harvard crews on the Thames was nevertheless a surprise in more ways than one. But as has been made evident on many other occasions preliminary results with others by the respective crews do not necessarily in dicate what is going to be done when they meet
 Yale gave an exhibition of that old time bull dog tenacity that was remark able. Nothing that the crew had done during the training season gave any in- dication of such a result. In all con tests with other crews it was badly beaten. There was nothing encouraging in it's performances and linked with it was the lack of confidence that was dis played in Coach Niclzalls, the apparent lack of harmony between the coach and crew and to cap the climax the forced resignation of the coach after the crew had come to the Thames. There was thus s number of reasons which indicated that Yale must make a wonderful i'm provement in order to win and as if Il fully appreciated that situation, what would not have surprised had it been procession was turned into a magni- acent and highly interesting contest. I was not only a race worth watching, il was a runner-up to the record of thu course and at a time when nothing oi the kind was expected.
 That Harvard lost, in such a cortes need cast no reflection upon the rowing ability of its crew It played its par in producing the fast time but particu lar credit must go to Yale for it's un looked for performance in view of thu vious performances during the season Vale was driven to such an effort O -lse it would have been numbered as on of the failure crews. Thus in view 0 what has been accomplished great cred: must be given to Coach Corderry fo what he has been able to accomplis within the month. He was able to fin sufficient of the Yale spirit within. tn crew to pun out a smashing victor regardless of the comments of his pre- dscessor. Yale won but at the sam time 1t did much to discount the crit cisrn of former Coach Niclxalls.

DEALING wfTH AUro THIEVES.

Convicted of the theft of an automobile a Providence man has been sentenced to the state prison for two and a half to four years. This may seem bit stiff in view of the light sentences that are i'm posed in eases where death Is caused be- cause of the reckless operation of auto mobiles, but it cannot fail to be appre- ciated that just such action Is neces- sary if there is going to be secured that much needed let-up in such cases of theft
 It would be surprising if it were pos- sible to present the number of automo- piles that are stolen each day through out the country. New York is always good for dozen and there is appar- ently no limit to the number that may be driven off and seldom returned. and the loss represented by the stealing of motor cars must run into sizeabie fig- ures
 It is plainly evident that action that will serve to discourage should be taken by the, courts in dealing with such cases. As in prohibition violation all sorts of clever schemes are devised to cove= up their tracks and to escape the penaIty RleaS that the intention was not to steal are frequent and there are of course the usual efforts in behalf of leniency.
 With the determination manifested by the courts to exert a corrective infiuencs through the manner in which such casa. are handled there should result the need ed effect upon the minds of those en gagged in such business and any other. who may be inclined in that direction Just so long as there is a feeling tha
 punishment can be avoided, that lenien cy is sure to be handed out to those wht | deliberately enter into the violation O the law 1t can be expected that the prac | tice of stealing automobiles will not onl! l continue but increase. Let it be under
 stood that the stealing of cars will meal i a sentence to state prison for tern of years upon conviction and there vii | be less inclination to take the chance
 of engaging in that kind of business i The course followed y-the Providenc
 court should have a beneficial effect, bu
 it needs to be followed regularly and no simply in an occasional case.
