OIL IMPORT HEARINGS
CONCLUDED IN HOUSE
Mellon Leaves Policy to Congress
on Bill to Set 100000
Barrels Restriction.

Hearings were concluded yesterday by
the House Ways and Means Committee
on the Capper-Garber bill to limit i'm
portations of oil to 100000 barrels
annually for the next three years
Chairman Hawley said the committee
would take final action later in the
week.
AS the hearing wound up, q letter
was received from Secretary of the
Treasury Mellon saying that the ques-
ton of limiting the oil import was
purely congressional matter
1.-THE Treasury Department expresses
no opinion as to the policy involved,
which Is one for the Congress to de-
termine," Mellon said in response to a
request for his position.
He added, however, 1t was believed
there would be no difficulty on the part
Of the Treasury in enforcing the bill if
it became a law.
Earlier in the day Commissioner East
man of the Interstate Commerce Com
mission wrote the House Commerce
Committee that the commission declined
to oppose or approve" the Hoch bill to
divorce major oil companies from their
interstate pipe lines.

T Left London April IS, 1918. and
crossed to France in a British de-

i with a request for me from Gen.
Foch to come to Sarcus. l learned
then that the 26th Division. at Seiche-
prey. had repulSed severe trench raid
on the night of April 20-21, and had
suffered considerable loss.
Arriving at Gen. Foch's headquar-
tiers, found Gems. Bliss, Harbord and
Weygand already there, and after din
ner We entered into general discus
sion about American troop shipments.
The conversation ran as follows:
Foch-"On March % you came to
offer the services of American troops.
l have vivid recollection of the oc-
casion. AS to the American divisions,
in what order do you think they should
be employed?"
Pershing-"The order would be the
26th, AID. I'd (The LIST had already
Amiens). The regiments of the 32d
will be ready by May l."
Infantry Greatest Need.
Foch-"I do not think they can be
used before May 5, but the more We
put into the line the better it will be.
Your nth Division has arrived, I see.
What about The Sd and 5th?"
Pershing-"The infantry of the Sd
has arrived. and that of the 5th will
soon follow"
Foch-'What we need now is in
fantry, especially the British, on ac-
count of the present crisis. That Is
why the Supreme War Council at YER
sailles recommended that all tonnage
be devoted to that purpose for the
time being. I hope that America may
send over as much infantry as pos
sible during the next three months.
The other arms to complete your divi-
Sions can come afterward. What do
you think of that plan?"
Pershing-'I canpot commit myself
to such a proposition. If nothing but
infantry and machine gunners are
brought over. to the total Of 800, 900, 1t
will be October or November before
the artillery and auxiliary troops could
arrive. and we could not foresee the
formation of an American Army until
next Spring"
Foch-"I think your calculation is
rather pessimistic. for We could begin
bringing your other troops in August,
but, without considering that point. we
can furnish you with artillery and its
personnel and you can have your divi-
sions reconstructed beginning with Oc-
tober. What would you propose in
this connection"
Pershing-"I think We should limit
the transportation of infantry to May,
and that the artillery and auxiliary
troops should come in June. They
should not arrive more than a month
later than the infantry. Under what
conditions would you employ the Amer
lean Infantry units?"
Dodges Final Decision.
Foch-"A final decision cannot be
made on that subject. That will
evidently depend upon the degree Of
instruction of the units In the crisis
that actually confronts the allied
armies it is electives that we lack.
The method of employing these units
is a question to be handled in due

Therefore O'Hara chose his guards
with great care. He selected three:
Steve WorralI, Amen Owen, and Buck
Grogan. They were to divide the day
and night into relay periods. The first
two men he picked because they were
the best available. Grogan was slower
witted, and O'Hara hesitated about APP
pointing him. But the man could be
relied on not to relax his vigilance.
He hated Quantrell too much to give
him any opportunity of getting away.
The instructions given by O'Hara to
his deputies were definite. He warned
them, too, against letting the prisoner
for single instant get his hand near
a weapon.
Owen nodded approval do like
