The skies above Baku are once more illuminated by the eternal fires of the world’s most famous oil region. Near the spot where Zoroastrian, or Parsi, vriests guarded the satred flames which burned for more than a score of centurics eighteen modern wells are now ablaze, according to press dispatches. What this great natural waste means is brought out in the | following bulletin from the Washing- ton headquarters of the National Gro- graphie Society. !f American relief work is inau- gurated in south R a, and if ar- rangements can be made with the new governments of the Caucasus, the race between charity and starva- tion may be rup largely with Baku ©il,” says the bulletin. “Already the vhite nights of north Russia are be- ginning to wane, and the ice which coats the Neva early in the fall soon vill be creeping down the queen o mn rivers and stopping trans. ine of com- e relief merce upon which lar work on the lowcr Volga Fuel Supply Important. “The iron rails of Russia have integrated with neglect and traffic. {The great Rus: - will be iopen for at least two months more.

In the spring of 1915 there was |sharp fighting between the Christians {and the Tartars for control of the {resion. At this time a large part of !the Tartar section was destroyed by shell fire from the Caspian. The romantic Kis-Kale, or Virgin Tower, which the Tartars used as an observa- tion post, still bears the marks of shell fire, which, however, failed to ido serious damage to Byzantine {walls. The ancient walls of the old tar citadel bear pock-mark lines {which join the apertures in the bat- {tlements and which show where i Russian and Armenian machine guns sprayed the ramparts and drove the Tartar fighters from their best points of vantage. Then came the British, with a small force from Enzeli. But they soon withdrew, leaving a badly imixed problem to find its own solutions. Marvelous Ol Production. The Baku oi}, fields in 1917, in the midst of and revolution, _pro- duced nearly fifty million barrels ot oil. But during the winter of 1917- 18 - labor troubles and the closing of the 540-mile pipe line to Batum, {on the Black sea, reduced the output. Political and social unrest have de- moralized the oil industry, which in i{Baku had reached @ high degree of i efficiency. { “During the troubles in 1918 there { were frequent threats by various fac- jtions that the wells of this famous iregion would be fired to keep them from falling under foreign control. “Baku was the field in which Al- fred B.
