COOLIDGE ACTS TO
CONSERVE OIL
Says the Nations Supply May
Be Exhausted Within
Twenty Years.

Observation-Disclosures of COM
mission to ascertain the best means
of conserving the nations oil supply
was announced by President Coolidge.
The commission will be entrusted
with review of the situation in each
of the naval oil reserves and with
ascertaining whether it would be pos
sible by assignment of additional pub
lie land, transfers, trades, purchases,
or otherwise, to create larger or bet
ter perfected reserves than the pre-
sent ones.
Action was taken by the President
in the appointment of the commission
on the recommendation of the gen.
eral board of the navy.
The President announced the ap-
pointment of the commission in the
following statement:
"The purpose for which the naval
oil lands were set aside was to pro-
vide reserves for the future. In order
to do this in the best manner, the oil
should be, wherever possible, retained
in the ground Where this is not pos
sible, however, it should be retained
in tankage above ground. This oil is
an important part of the national in
surance.
"At the present rate of production
there is estimated to be but 20 years
Of oil supply within the limits of the
United States. When this is exhaust
ed we will be dependent upon foreign
sources for our supply. In time of
war such supply will certainly be
jeopardized and possibly shut off,"

MILITARIsM ARoUsEs GREEKS
Bosphorus Fortresses Reinforced :
Smyrna Made Naval Base and
Aviation Center.

Athens-The active military prep
arations in Turkey are causing keen
anxiety to the Greek government.
Greek agents report that the Turks
hastily are reinforcing the fortresses
on the Bosphorus, where additional
regiments of artillery have been sent
to support the large concentration Of
artillery. The Dardanelles forts are
being repaired and reinforced with a
system of underground communica-
tions and lines of trenches, which
German engineers helped build.
Smyrna has been made naval base
and headquarters of the aviation
corps has just been increased by 25
airplanes bought from Italy.
The reasons given for the Turkish
preparations are reputed to be the
Turkish fear of Russian attack.
