Showing the possibilities of the older
districts in Kelvin field, The Texas
company's swears No. 10 well in the
old Baker -Howhng pool, is making
around 80 barrels per day on the pump.
1t had 700 feet of oil in the hole, in
dicating q small producer, until it was
acidized. It made 1870 Bbl. during the
first "a hours.
The Texas company is waiting for
the acid wagon on its Lind No. well,
in the central field, recently acquired
from Ohio Oil Co. A small show of
oil was found at the top of the Madison
lime, from 1647 to 1861 feet.

Montana Oil

In error were earlier reports that
total discoveries of oil in 1912 did not
equal current production, according to
American Petroleum Institute which
found that the oil industry found 1,s7s,-
$4,000 bbl of new oil or 493, ,497 600

crude oil produced in 1912.
This raised total known underground
reserves as of Dee. 81, 1912, 10 90
Os2, 1913, 600 Dbl. Most Of the new oil
was added through upward revisions of
reserves in fields found prior to 1912,
resulting from development of older
fields

March came in "like a lion" but it

It looks like good well although

WAR SPEED TODAY
AND YESTERDAY

This war, global in expanse, brings into
strong contrast methods and strategy
of other wars of modern times. 1t also
stresses the age-old fundamental princ-
pie of war which never changes-slaugh-
ter of human beings.
< One reads of war conference at Casa
blanca. One moment, almost, the preS-
dent is at his desk, next one he is in
North Africa. And now there is a con-
ference on in far-off Tehran. There the
president sits in war council again. The
country knew nothing of his departure
for these conferences. He might as we'll
have planned and carried out trip to his
Hyde Park home as far as the time ele-
nlent gees.
Consider the trips to the front Lincoln
made to confer with his generals. Only
across the river into Virginia or to near
by Maryland, yet these journeys con-
sumad practically as much time as re-
Quired for President Roosevelt to meet
war leaders at Cairo.
p Or had Mckinley needed to hold a par
Fey in Cuba, the war easily could have
been finished while he was making the
trip. Even in World war one, no such
Nspeed element contributed to that wars
campaigns.
Thus has the entire situation changed
And if wars are fought on faster sched
ule now, the havoc proportionately is
greater. Modernism may change the
way of war, but it does not alter the hor-
rors; proportionately the casualties are
the same.
AS to strategy. There is today, as in
other wars, more noticeable, the Civil
war, two cardinal approaches war
of attrition and war of slaughter. Sher-
man typified the latter strategy in his
march to the sea; Grant the former in
his Virginia campaigns where he strove
for his objective with casualties sec
ondary consideration.
In World war one there was the block
ade to starve the enemy to submission,
as there was the fields of slaughter in
France; today again there is the block
ade and the death-dealing aerial attacks.
May this war change one thing-leave
no possible chance for another period of
carnage with nations left helpless
through the ruthless sweep of attrition
and slaughter Wars may not change,
but peace principles can and must.

Victory 1t is entitled to full and frank
announcements by the various powers

from the sentimental side, there is the
matter of paying the bills. No one ques-

But when the war is won this country
will have the considerable bill of 300
billions to pay-a staggering sum, but no
one thinks other than paying it. The

RICHMOND, Cal, Dec. 4. CUP)-
Full production of merchant ships
and naval vessels in the sprawling
Henry j. Kaiser shipyards here was
resumed today as 1000 AFL ma
chinistS returned to their jobs after
a two-day work stoppage which
Kaiser officials said was costing
the nation "a ship day"
A personal appeal by Edgar
Kaiser, son of the shipbuilder, be-
fore a machinists' union mass
meeting last night climaxed a day
of conferences which brought set
tlement of the controversy, pend
ing arbitration of a jurisdictional
dispute between the machinistS and
AFL operating engineers.
A unanimous vote to return to
work followed Kaiser's plea for
unity, and machinists appeared on

Representatives of the two unions
and. the company agreed that the
dispute wolld be referred to the
international presidents of the
unions for settlement, and that in
the meantime the company would
close down construction project

House Awaits
Debate on
Soldier Vote

WASHINGTON, Dec. S. up
The soldier vote issue moved to the
house today after the senate killed
the Green-Lucas federal vote bill
and passed substitute. character
lied by supporters of the defeated
measure as the hardest blow ever
struck at soldiers rights in war;
time"
Bills similar to the Green-Lucas
bill and also the senate substitute
will be considered in the house.
where partisan wrangling matching
the week-long senate debate is ex-
pected.
The new version, backed by Re-.
publicans and southern Democrats
who feared their states poll tax
voting prerequisites might be cir
ccnvented, was pushed through to
give the men overseas a chance to
vote in the 1914 election.
1t would turn over to the states
authority to handle the voting of
members of the armed forces who
are overseas. The defeated meas
ure would have placed adninistra-
ton in the hands of four-man
war ballot commission appointed
by the president from lists submit
ted by both parties.
Senate Democratic leader Alben

substitute would have mo more ef-
feet in giving soldiers the vote than
pious resolution passed by the

CENSORSHIP BLUNDERS
I,OS Ano1aleS TimeS)

clos Angeles TimeS)
The miX-up over what has come to be
called the worlds worst-kept secret =
the news of the Cairo conference-glvas
emphasis once more to the fact that while
arrangements for most phases of the con-
ference were polished down to the last
detail, those for informing the public
of the world about it were what can,
with considerable understatement, be
called inept and unskillful.
Most of the confusion described by
New York Times Correspondent c. l..
Sulzberger was the result OF bad ham
ding. which was entirely avoidable. 1t
would have been avoided it the news
paper correspondents had been consulted
about the arrangements These cor
respondents have proved time and again
that they are entirely trustworthy Allied
headquarters at Algiers has repeatedly
trusted them with important military
secrets and the confidence has never been
abused
What probably happens is that when
the conferees arrive, the gold-bralded
staff accompanying them brushes aside
the arrangements made on the spot and
takes charge without considering the
public
This does not explain, of course, why
the official announcement of the con-
ference was held up by White House
order-the OWL says it had nothing to do
with it-for 80 hours after Reuters had
broken the story from Lisbon and it had
been published in all Axis and neutral
countries. The British press is in arms
over not being allowed to publish the
Reuters news though the Axis radio had
been blarng it for hours. There is no
security reason which could Justify with
holding the news of the conference after
the conferees had left Cairo; yet the
same papers which printed the official
account also recorded the return of Gen
eralissimo and Nine Chang to Chung
king, which proves that several days
elapsed.
The affair was badly bungled.
