CROSS FIELDS
North of Orel, where the Russian
advance had carried within some
40 miles of the city, the assault
forces had crossed a belt of open
fields and entered dense forests,
where they were maneuvering in
relatively small groups to surround
and annihilate German ur!ts.
Dispatches said the forest area
was reached after the Russians
knocked out the fifth German pan

and thrown straight from the march
against the Soviet flank.
In one sector Soviet armored
forces encircled two battalions of
German motorized infantry and a

a percentage Of what they distrib-
uted the year before.
For instance, one large supplier
here was allowed to sell this month
only so per cent of the oil he sold
in January, 1912. He was permitted.
however. to dispose of his excess
stocks to other primary suppliers.
Several such transfers were made
during the past few days under
orders of the Supply and Distribu-
ton Committee for this area.
The ALLEGATION system has been
based on estimates of the amount
of Oil which the PAW believed would
be imported into this area during
each month. Thus, when the supply
exceeded the estimates, the addi-
tional Oil could not be disposed Of
through the suppliers regular chan
nels.
This method came into direct con-
fiict with OPA orders, which
specified that dealers could obtain
whatever amount Of oil they could
redeem with coupons, which they
received from their customers.
Although dealers business might
have increased as the result of new
homes built here during the year,
his supplier was still compelled to
restrict him to only percentage of
the amount OF oil he bought last
year.

Plan Prepared 10 End
ALLEGATION Method Of
CuhaiIing Oil Sales
Amendment Will Permit
Transfers on Busis of
Supplies on Hand

An order shelving the ALLEGATION
method of restricting fuel oil sales
by supplies in this area is being
prepared by the Petroleum Admin
istrator for War and is expected to
be issued early next week, 1t was
learned today.
Oil men believed that abandon
ment Of this system, whereby sales
of primary suppliers are now limited
to a monthly quota based on per-
centage of the oil they sold a year
ago, would end the paradox Of hav-
ing oil tied up in reservoirs while
dealers were without oil to supply
their customers.
To replace the present system, 1t
is understood, an amendment is be-
ing written which will permit sup
pliers to apportion their stocks to
dealers on the basis of what they
actually have on hand rather than
on the basis of last years sales.
This new method also will bring
PAW directives in line with Office
of Price Administration regulations
on rationing.
. Deliveries Tagging.
Meanwhile, even dealers with oil
we're falling behind in their deliveries
again as the result of the snow and
ice that blocked the streets. Dozens
of trucks were marooned in snow
drifts and practically all were far
behind their schedules. One dealer
reported three of his trucks were in
bitches yesterday and had to remain
out of service for hours before help
could be obtained
A slight increase in the number of
rail tank cars moving into the Dis
trict and the arrival Of barge with
! 10000 gallons of oil helped to relieve
the supply situation to some extent
1t was reported.
Under the alocation system, sup
pliers here and in other Eastern
cities have been permitted to bring
in an much oil as they could, but
they were restricted in their sales to
