Oil Company's S,800-foot deep
test in the Dry Greek field In
southern Montana has appar-

horizon for the area.
In tests of the Morrison, immedi-

sands from which the field has been
producing, a 24-hour output of 300
barrels of oil and 16 barrels of water
is reported.
Whether this development will
lead to drilling elsewhere in the

has been blocked within 25-mile
radius of the Standards Devonian
producer.
One of the latest to join in the
rush is the Imperial Oil company,
subsidiary of the Standard Oil Com
pany of New Jersey, and Canada's
largest operating concern. A recent
Imperial acquisition is SO, 900 acres,
in block whose northern bound
ary is II miles southwest of the
Devonian producer.
California Standard, which
held about 25,0OG acres around
the well when IL came In, has
increased its holdings to about
$4,000 acres, in irregular
blocks extending as far as Is
miles north of the discovery, Is
miles south, and Is miles west.
Independents are also joining ac-
lively in the play.
Francis p Byrne and associates
have taken up two blocks totaling
$4,000 acres. One block is about rs
miles northeast of the Devonian
discovery, the other about IA miles
southeast of the well.
Norman G. Lacey and associates
have taken about $4,000 acres be-
TWEEN the blocks acquired by Byrne
and associates. Other Independents
who have acquired substantial
holdings in the area include Pacific
Petroleums and George Mcmahon.
The American petroleum industry
has spent about one billion dollars
of its own money thus far to con-
struct and expand plants and facil-
tiles for war purposes, says the

Troops Gripe al Ban
On Visiting French
Towns They Freed
BY WALTER McCALLUM,
star War Correspondent.

FRANCE.-The boys are sort OF
sriped in France, but they have no
real reason to be. They're griped
when they win q town or q popu-
lated spot because soon after they
capture the spot some one sticks up
signs like this: This town of limits
to all military personnel" It hap
pened at st. Mere Eglise, Carentan,
Valogne and Cherbourg, and the
MPs enforce 1t, and the boys grippe.
But there Is 4 real reason for it,
and strictly q military one, even
though the boys who fought to
win the shell-shattered places
think they ought to see a little
Of what they fought for. The
reasons are obvious. These towns
are French, and usually they've
been pretty well shell shattered,
as is any town which has been
fought over in this war. The
French don't like it, but there isn't
much they can do about it. Looting
isn't unknown, and with SO much
wine around the problem Of dis
cipline becomes rough. The Army,
of course, Is right about making the
towns OIL limits, but that doesn't
lessen the gripping of the lads who
fought for them. As the French
come back from wherever they 60

been in the lines for some time, who
wanted q decent sleep and . good
meal and q bath. They grabbed the
chance to put up at an unoccupied
French hotel and invited me to stay
with them. The concierge was Z fat
Frenchman who liked his cognac,
but what he did with those ten-in-
one rations was something to be-
hold. He made them into some-
thing quite wonderful, and the boys
had their nyst good meal In many
days, bath and prepared to sleep
In a bed. Not too good q bed, but
1t was better than a foxhole.
Well, along about 10 o'clock that
evening the colonel drove up. Only
that day all troops had been ordered
out of town, and the colonel told
them to get out. They had to 20,
by Army order, and they didn't get
their good sleep in q bed but on
the ground in a bivouac area In the
woods. OF course, that's the way
things are In q combat zone and
you make the best OF what you
have. But the meal was wonderful,
and the boys had their bath the
next dey-in the dirty canal. At
least. they had a good meal. .
So things aren't always easy for
the soldier even after he comes out
Of the lines, and you can understand
why he gripes when he isn't allowed
In the towns he helps to conquer.
But it is quite necessary. from the
overall viewpoint, that the men be
kept out Of places the Germans
might bomb or shell, and to permit
the French to come back to the
routine of their lives.

when the battle Is on, they want to
open their shops and homes (the
ones that are usable) and get back
to living again.
The boys want to buy . few things
to send back home or to England.
So far, the only place they've been
able to buy things (even . few was
Cherbourg, for the other towns had
q good going over by artillery and
there wasn't much left in them.
Good Cosmetics Available.
But Cherbourg was more or less
normal. The Americans moved in
the first few days, before the signs
went up. and most of the liquor went
early. Then they started on the
French perfumes and powders and
cosmetics, and so on. Many an
American girl is going to be sur
prised by gift tromIner boy friend
In France. 1t seems to be good stun,
too; names you used to see on Co.'S
metic counters before the war cut OF
the supply.
But the GIs grippe just the same.
They get in, q few Of them. dodging
the MPs, but the penalty is pretty
severe If they're caught. Most of
them want bath pretty badly, and
some Of the French towns have mu-
nicipal shower baths, called "douches
en- bains" or "avoir." The boys in
the field get pretty tired Of going
dirty, and most Of the outfits, If
they have the time, rig up field
showers. They aren't too good, and
the floor is sometimes a chicken
yard, and the water is ice cold; but
they do take of the dirt. You can't
blame the men for wanting to get
hot shower with soap in the towns
when baths are available.
We had one Of those field showers

and machine gun fire. A shell killed
one man in the patrol and wounded
the two others.
Capt. O'Hara heard about 1t and
rushed up In the face Of the same
blazing flre despite the efforts Of his
men to dissuade him. He made the
two wounded men comfortable and
called for aid. He then carried the
body Of the dead doughboy out and
held services for him on the field
as shells and bullets tore overhead.

last week. We lived In m old Ger
man barracks, which We made fairly
comfortable despite the bullet holes
In the ceiling and sides and the end
where shell had crashed through.
But we had q radio (first I had
heard In weeks) and we listened to
the cultured voice Of the BIC an
nouncer back In London, and some
times tuned In on the radio Berlin,
with an interpreter standing BY to
tell us what the German said. Incl
dentally. Berlin has q feminine an
nouncer who does a fair lob of
wheedling the American CT with
wisecracks and current American
tunes.
The field shower was cold and the
floor was mud, and the water wasn't
too plentiful. But you didn't have
to put those halazone purifying
pills in it. II, guess most Of the
GIs don't need them any more, any
how. The Army issues them as
matter of precaution, for French
water may be polluted; but know
many men who fill their canteens
at the village pumps under the old
German sign, "Keindwasser," and
suffer no Ill effects from the French
water. Anyhow, the shower was
passable. But the boys really want
warm water and water that will pro-
duce soap lather, and you get that
only in q town. And the towns,
soon after they are captured are
of limits. Maybe they have a gripe,
but the military authorities probably
are doing the right thing.
Orders Interrupt Plans.
One town was Carentan. It was
okay until some soldiers got gay with
some Of the village bellies, and then
it was of limits by Army order. But
I had my first good meal there In
many days. 1t happened when I
moved in with an outfit that had
