Is scarcely pretty, but it compen-
safes in power for any unbalance
1t may have in other respects. Any
one who does not mind confirmation
Of a possible suspicion that the hu-
man race is less than perfect will
find this realistic revelation one of
the better contributions of the GAL
lie cinema to his developing adult
hood.
Whether justice miscarries more
easily IN the climate of France or
IN the French temperament is a
thing for our superiors in scholar
ship to decide. The fact remains
that this prelude to the Dreyfus
case, along with the latter, makes
what in the highest of good faith
can be called gripping drama.
Courier of Lyons" played by a
French cast which has been sold
on the notion that the play is the
thing, is based upon tragic ex-
cerpt from the legal records of the
country which dreamed so fiercely
OF liberty, equality and fraternity.
Pitilessly it discloses the fact that
the mob can be a barbarously STU
pid thing when it goes blood lust
ing. All this is accomplished
through the unanimity with which
his mental interiors identify the
innocent man as one of those they
saw and heard at the scene of the
crime. The directness and sincerity
with which it is played is the thing
which gives the situation so much
OF its drama for there never is a
moment when it is not apparent
that the same cruel and terrifying
fate could overtake almost any man.
The incident upon which the film
Is based occurred in 1896 and the
motley mob and the upright Judges,
rot to mention the principals, wear
the garb of that period. The speech
and the actions of every one con-
cerned are dateless, however, and it
is to the distinction of those who
produced the film that this point
Is made so very clear.
Courier of Lyons" therefore. is
one OF those strange, rare things,
f1lm with message which also con-
trives to be the most effective kind
OF entertainment.
The thing that is most easily. if at
the same time most loosely, identi-
fed as the Gallo touch illumines
many passages of the film with un-
forgettable vividneSS. One of the
many scenes which digs an enduring
place In memory is that in which the
innocent man admits to his wife an
1nfldellty with another woman only
to have her turn the moment into a
revelation of fidelity which shows
how great love can be. While he con-
tinues his journey toward doom for
crime of mail robbery and murder
which he did not commit, she seeks
out the paramour who might provide
him with the complete alibi. Films
rarely deal with such sturdy emo
tional material.
Excellent playing contributes
vitality to the potency of Courier
OF Lyons" Pierre Blanchar in the
role of the innocent Lesurques is
unfailingly excellent. So also are

sion," Jean Tissier and several others

Totals 1860, 700 3s1a07o
The bureau estimated the January
domestic market demand for motor
fuel at 39,5O0000 barrels or about S
per cent more than the actual de-
mand last January.
Foreign Exports Seen.
Exports of crude oil, it said, likely
will total 5,057,0O0 barrels, COM
pared with 5000 900 forecast for De-
cember and with 4.477,00O actually
exported last January. Motor fuel
exports will approximate 100000
barrels, compared with a December
forecast of 100000 and with $685.
900 exported in January, 1899.
Due to unfavorable exchange and
shipping conditions" the bureau
said, mo large increases in export
demand are indicated as yet. Com
pared with a year ago, exports of
lubricants may materially increase
and a possible decrease in exports
OF regular grade gasoline may be
balanced by increased shipments of
aviation gasoline"
The bureau said that daily aver
age crude oil production and runs
to stills for the period November a.
December 2 totaled 1924, 900 and g.
$4,000 barrels, respectively. During
this period total crude oil stocks in
creased 2,713O00 barrels, of which
$4,000 were foreign stocks and l.
924, 900 were domestic stocks.
In recent months, the bureau said
large runs to stills at relatively high
gasoline yields have resulted in an
abnormal seasonal increase in gaso-
line stocks. Distillate fuel oil yields
have not been increased sufficiently
to build up stocks to an adequate
seasonal level in proportion to in
creased demand.
Increased Stocks Due.
Consequently, the bureau said
runs will probably be at level
that will result in at least the usual
further increase in gasoline stocks
during the first quarter of 1910.
Present indications, it said. "are
that the stocks of finished and un.
finished gasoline will approximate
new peaks of 100000 barrels or
December 81, 1899, and $4,000 ,0O(
barrels on March 81, 194O."
1t reported that stocks of finished
and unfinished gasoline increased
3,25O,OOO barrels during November
bringing them to about 76,6O0 900 a!
of November 80.
These stocks, the bureau said, ar,
considerably higher than are neces
sary and may prove burdensom,
before the winter is over.
