In conference with other op- erators of the field it seems that the government order was really deeper than was at first apparent on the surface. The government needs oil and to get it out as rapidly as pos- siblé the order spurred up the opera- tors as nothing else could have done. “Had the government let things take their usual course, there would have been tracts in the Lusk field which would have been held up for speculation for years without a well or even an attempt at development! being made. As it is the new with: drawal order appears to have reacter against these parties and the result is shown in the 175 rigs that are now moving into the fields. “A lot of territory is of course taken up now that will prove useless but it looks to me as tho all the field as marked out by the escarpment of the Parkman sandstone will prove prolific.” WINTER BRINGS STARVATION IN RUSSIA, REPORT Food Situation Grows More Acute with Approach of Cold Weather; Dire Results Are Seen | | | { } | LONDON, Nov. 4.—(Correspond- ! ence of The Associated Press.) —A winter of starvation is a safe predic- tion for Russia. Indications are that it will be one of the worst winters the Russian people have experienced in all their history. All summer the food situation in Russia, particularly in Moscow, Pe- trograd and other large cities has been steadily growing more and more acute. In the latter part of August, before the winter left Moscow, bread, or that mixture of straw, oat husks and other ingredients of unknown origin which Moscow inhabitants are induced to accept as bread, had al- most entirely disappeared, and cer- tain city districts had not received the usual allowance for nearly a week. The government had classified the population into categories, whereby workingmen and government em- employees received a larger allow- ance, while professionals and well- to-do people get the smallest, wh in Moscow amounts to one-sixteenth of a pound. In Petrograd the bourgeots or middle class fared poor- ly on an allowance of three herrings a day. The shortage of bread is largely due to the government’s short-sight- ed policy in fixing a low price for grain which did not even cover the farmer's expenditure, let alone profit. The peasants refused to comply with the decrease to turn over all grain in( excess of a certain arbitrarily fixed amount to the food committee, and when the latter were reinforced by a detachment of armed “bread cru- saders,” the peasants gathered from sevefal villagés and offered resist- ance, frequently ‘putting the cru- | saders to flight. But even if the government price were much higher the peasants would not willingly exchange their grain for worthless money, of which they | seem to haye much and which has no | practical value to them. They want | ctured goods, which the gov- is unable to furnish, as most | of the factories are idle, for lack of | fuel and raw material, and also be- cause the Bolsheviki need the ,work- | men to fight on the numerous fronts. | \ |On May 4, 1918, the war department | \Alabama | Tennessee — {mits work in the open practically all | }the year ’round and the Carter has jobtained 400,000 acres of land from | lthe McKinley Land and Lumber com. |pany lying mostly in Valencia and | McKinley counties.

For many weeks German airmen have had far more nt. business to attend to on the other side of the channel. Much of this is due to the persistent raiding of Rhine towns and the bombing of German airdromes. There attacks compel the enemy to muster for their defense machines which théy can very ill spare from battlefields where Allied supremacy in fhe air becomes increasingly manifest. The frequent raids on German towns have been fully recorded but the growing frequency of attacks on German aerodromes have received much less attention. From informa- tion obtained from the War Ministry. it is learned that in the month of August alone there were 33 attacks of German aerodromes, 19 of which were directed against two of them/ which had: become particularly ob- noxious as hives of aerial wasps. In one ‘daylight raid on the cero-| drome a fierce combat lasted over| 40 minutes as a result ef which fotir | German machines were destroyed | and three others driven down “‘out of oo eae Two British machines were | lost.
