War News Mailed By United Press Men to the United States
By J. VT. PKGLEF. Ur-.ted Tress Staff Correspondent) -WITH THE AMERICAN ARMT IN KFtAXCE,. Jan. 15. Santa Claus brought i.eer to every nan Jack !n America's ipedltionary forces today. Van-loads cf gift9 from "back-ho:nc" today lUTntered into every can-.p and illage and even up cios to that sec'.oa of the real fighting lin where American soldiers manrted the trenches. Tomorrow will be a complete holtflay for every soldier except those natchlri the Drsches across No, Man's Iind. There will be no drills. Sper:tl Christmas dinners, with ail the trimrr.Ings of turkey and cranberries, and nuts and raisins and candy, will be given the fighting: men. And every 'amp and 'cantonment there will be a S.uce Christmas tree. Sammies worked lens and enthusiastically over the decorations o these trees today and in the sorting; out of Christmas packages nd remembrances. Most of the men preferred to have their presents from home folks l;.ept for distribution at regular "home'' Christmas celebrations to be held around these trees some time this even.r.t; or tomorrow. In addition to re
membrances from It! tii and kin and friend?, every s:ngie ioldier. whether he be without kin and friendless, will get a Christmas package. It took a lot of previous freight space to transport these packages. The Red Cross back home supervised their assembly and th:r racking. They were all alike every one wrapped in a khaki-colored handkerchief and tied with rd ribbon and containing chewing gum, tobaccs writing" taper and envelopes, some sort of game, dried fruit, candy, puzzles, a knife and perhaps a mouth organ. Thousands of miscellaneous package snfts of public-sylrited Americans Uauk h.orr.e. ar.d ynt for distribution to "any soldier" were also included in Santa Claus's pack to be handed out here in France. In many villages where the American troops are Quartered and where they have becorr e firm friends of every French man. woman and child, French families who 'btileted' the American fighting men joined in separate Christmas celebrations. For them it was a Christmas tinged with melancholy over relatives taken i war's toll but yet bright with hTe of what the Americans in th'ir midst means fnr France.

Germany and the Food Question !

A loyal United States citizen of Gerri.an birth, who has bought liberally o' Tiberty 'bonds and thrift certificates recently made an illuminating staten.ent concerning stories that have iftn appearing from time to time on the food shortage In Germany and t'n efteets cf the blockade. 'It Is folly to place too much -on-fience in Germany foi shortage." sld he, "as a factor in bringing peace. T was a laborer In Frankfort for twelve eers before coming to the Fnited s-rates, and my father before me was !so a laborer there. The pay he received and the pay I received was not aenerous enough, even in the most in osperous times, to provide us with half the dainties with which the Amer-(.-sri workman's table is provided.

Glils'tRAL KtrLNLNG COMi'A.NY TAKK CARS
The life blood of American commercial progress of our Nation's success in bringing the war to a speedy, successful close is OIL. There is no one element upon which industry is more dependent than that of Petroleum in its various forms. The increased demands of war have caused a radical shortage 50,000,000 barrels or more and the government's cry is OIL MORE OIL! Oil refining from the standpoint of safety and profit is the most attractive branch of the business. Due to the unusual demands of war upon the refineries an exceptional opportunity is offered in the purchase of stock in the GENERAL REFINING CO. Executive Offices: Tulsa, Okla. Refinery: Kansas City, Kansas representing a consolidation of the MID- CONTINENT REFINING COMPANY GENERAL REFINING COMPANY OF KANSAS CARROLL OIL MARKETING COMPANY (The last named concern paid lOOo in dividend? in 1917). This company, for the purpose of immediately increasing its capacity, adding more tank cars and building anew refinery, is issuing a limited amount of stock. THE GENERAL REFINING COMPANY is operating a well-equipped refinery at Kansas City, Kansas owns and controls over 200 tank cars and has an established trade for Petroleum products among the large railroads, steel and industrial companies. Now Doing a Business of Over $3,500,000 a Year or an excess of $300,000 a month, is the record this rapidly growing company
is enjoying at this time

You Can Now Obtain This Stock at $9.00 Par Value $10.00 The entire capitalization is but 300,000 shares all common stock; no bonds. The company is conservative ly capitalized and is a successful going concern managed by men of the highest standing and experience in the oil business. Stock purchased at the present market of $9.00 a share on the basis of its present earning rate of 2 ro a month on a par value of $10.00 will pay close to 28co a year. Present market conditions alone are accountable for your unprecedented opportunity to get this stock at this exceptionally low price.

The Call of a Nation"
The following an extract from the speech of A. C. Bedford of the Standard Oil Co.. made before the Western Petroleum Refiners' Association this month: ". . . lack of oil production. It is our duty, too, to sec to it that the additional demands of the war are met by us, that the increased calls for oil for naval vessels and the constantjy increasing calls for gasoline for motor trucks, for motor boats, for automobiles and for aeroplanes, are fully and quickly answered. Here, as you Kadily perceive, we arc a tremendous factor in the mechanism, of war. "Thi3 is the situation presented to the Petroleum Committee appointed by the Council of National Defense, to co-operate wjth the Government iri securing the oil products necessary to the successful prosecution of the war. "The committee, as 3-011 know, was appointed to act in an advisory capacity to those holding actual appointment from the Government itself, such as for instance the War Department, the Navy Department, the War Munitions Board, the Shipping Board, etc. It is composed of men representative of the various phases of the industry, i. e., producing, refining, transporting and marketing. "Four points must be considered : "1. To secure the necessary and adequate fuel oil and gasoline supplies for the fleets of the United States navy, both at home and abroad, including the coast patrol service; also the necessary gasoline supply for the transport and motor car and aeroplane services for our armies, operating abroad and at home, and for those now in the process of formation. "2. To secure the necessary fuel oil and pasoline supplies for the allied fleet of the British, French and Italian navies, and the gasoline supplies for the aeroplane and transport service of the allied British, French and Italian armies, working directly with the war and navy departments of the allies through the British, French and Italian missions. . "3. To secure and arrange for the supplies of petroleum products (fuel, oil, gasoline and kerosene) necessary to the industries engaged in the production of munitions, both at home. and abroad, and co-operate with the various foreign agencies and government departments in Connection therewith. ' 4. To co-ordinate the manufacture and distribution of petroleum products through the co-operaticn of the refiners of petroleum in the United States and, because of the present serious excess of consumption of oil over production, to endeavor to stimulate producers of crude oil to increase production, to the end that all needs shall be fully met."
