poked about in these deepest Black
Shadows and did a great deal of sniff
fing with that keen nose of his. He ap-
pcared to think that such places were
the most likely places for those twins
to be hiding
1T is a fine night" muttcred Buster
to himself. 1T is just the kind of a
night their mother will want to get a
few lily roots in the pond of Paddy
the Beaver. She'll have those young
sters along. She won't dare leave them
anywhere. l think I'll visit Paddy's
pond"
Now it is surprising how silently
such big fellow can go through the
Green Forest when he wants TO-
Buster made no sound as he drew
near to the pond of Paddy the Beaver
He was like great. very black
shadow. Just before he reached the
pond he heard Il splashinE and then a
crash in the bushes on the further
side of the pond. Buster snarled under
his breath with disappointment. He
knew that that noise had been made
by the mother of those pretticst twins
as she dashed away. He knew that "A
wandering Little Night Breeze must
have carried his scent to her.
He had listened with all his might
at the sound OF the first splash. and
you know Busters ears are very good
ears. They didn't run with her
thought he. "Only one ran away. She
made Il big noise 50 that l would hear
her and follow her. and she left those
tender babies hidden somewhere. I'll
lock around Il bit over there. Buster
isn't so easily fooled as all that"
So Buster crossed on the dam Of
Paddy the Beaver and began to hunt
about whcr" he knew the twins
mother had been. He looked carefully
into every dark place where he
thought those twins might be hiding.
He tested every little Night Breeze
that came along for the smell Of
them. He listened with all his might
for 4 sound of them.
1T is queer. mighty queer I can't
find them" he muttered as he sat star
ing at a place where the moonlight
checkered the ground with little spots
Of light and shadow. "They can't be
around here, for I've looked every
where"
For Il few minutes he continued to
sit looking at the ground just ahead
of him. He was thinking. so all he
saw was u lot of spots of light and
shadow. and these didn't interest him
at all. Finally. .grumbling to himself
he shufflcd off. No sooner had he gone
than Mrs. I.iGhtfnot the Deer stole
softly from behind some young trees
and trottcd over to the very place
where Buster had been sitting. She
made littl" signal and at once the

URGED TO DEVELOP
MEXICAN OIL AREA
Shipping Board Official Says
Fields Are Fast Going
Into Salt Water.

That tho American government
either directly and by corporation
with American capital at once pro-
cecd to develop oil fields" in Mexico
is urged by J. A. Phelan of the Ship
ping Board staff. in his recent re-
port on the Mexican oil situation
transmitted to Chairman Porter of the
House committee on foreign affairs.
He predicatcS this advice on the
statement that the proven oil field in
Mexico lis fast going into salt Wa
ter" He adds:
That the potential production of
Mexico is almost unlimited is be-
yond question
Mr.. phelan discusses at length con-
ditions in the present field and pro-
sents the following under the head
ing of Recommendations:
That the proven oil field in Mex
leo within a reasonable period is GER
tain to 20 into salt water is "A dem
onstrated fact. and this may come
sooner than expected. lnasnuch as
the consumption Of oil in the | nItcd
States increased from 00,0O9.000 bar
rclS to 500. 100000 barrels in ten years
it is certain that this country Will
have to depend upon foreign oil and
principally Mexican oil for fuel pur-
poses in the future.
! To supply Fuel Needs.
LAS the American merchant marine
is fast going into fuel oil, it is
necessary that this supply be assured.
This means that the American gov
ernment. either directly and by CO.
operation with American capital at
once proceed to develop oil fields IN
Mexico. That the potential produc-
ton of Mexico is almost unlimited is
beyond question, but the proposition
should not he delayed until after the
present fields are exhausted. II takes
years of time and "a fortune in money
to develop an oil field.
THE United States is confronted
with an Oil situation in Mexico to-
day. Now is the time for decisive aIc-
ton"

10 per cent. tax may prevent Ameri-
can purchases altogether. II Is pre-
dicted that the American people viii
not want to be in the position Of in
directly paying the German indem
nifty to the Allies, for the penalty
would not then be imposed upon the
German producer but the American
consumer.
Considerable resentment Is ex-,
pressed privately by some Of our
legislators that an action so vital
to American trade could be taken
without an American voice in the
proceedings. 1t was recognized by
President Wilson at the Paris con-
ference that this whole question
would involve American trade, and
therefore the ReparatiOns Commits
sion which was to do the job that
the Allied Premiers now are doing
was to have on 1t an American repre-
sentative.
The Allies waited in vain for the
United States to ratify the treaty 80
that the reparations question could
be taken UP Immediately. When Mr.
Wilson saw that the treaty might be
subject of prolonged controversy,
he asked the Senate to permit him to
appoint an American member OF the
Reparations Commission, but Senator
Lodge and the Republican majority
declined to give that permission.
The Allies have gone ahead with
out the United States and made ar
rangements satisfactory TO them
selves. There is stil q group OF
thinkers in the American Senate who

confronted with an accomplished fact
and will not be able to change the
agreement except by beginning a
trade war and a system OF retaltatory
tariffs against the Allies. The hope
here is that the Germans will decline
to pay the export tax while accepting,
on the other hand, the main proposal
for the payment OF an Indemnity In
annual sums.
Another interesting phase OF the
controversy Is that tho Allies will
have negotiated an understanding
with Germany before President Har-
ding 10 inaugurated and has an OPP
portuuity to arrange for a separate
peace. Germany will have signed
away oil her trade obligations 30
That unless the United States agrees
to sign the Treaty Of Versailles she
win not get any Of the advantages
of that treaty by a separate neEotia-
ton with Germany, but will have to
apply to the Allies themselves.
In some quarters the whole situa-
ton is regarded as one Of slowly
forcing America to take "A hand In
the Treaty Of Versailles whether she
wants TO or not, only this time the
Allies instead OF President Wilson
are applying the pressure Through
economic tnstrumentallties.
