(By Associated Press) VIENNA, July 24. It Is reported In apparently reliable quarters here that the first stipulation the Bolshevikl will require of the Poles before entering into peace negotiations will be that the Poles disarm completely so that he negotiations might not be used to gain time or await the arrival of Frpnch or British reinforcements.

A wireless message from the soviet command to General Pilsudskl, president of Poland and head of the Polish army, intercepted here, asks the name

of the sector where soviet representa

armistice preliminaries.

PARIS. Julv 26. The proposal by

the Russian soviet government for a conference in London with all the allies, as reported in last night's dispatches, will be the subect of an exchange of views between France and Great Britain. It Is possible that Premiers Lloyd George and Millerand will meet during the present week for a discussion of the reply to be made to Moscow.

As viewed here, the soviet government has seized the allied demand for an armistice with Poland as a pretext for a return to the original soviet campaign for official recognition of the Moscow government and political circles in Paris in regard to the maneuver as a skillful one which has placed some of the allies, particularly France, in a delicate position. France has not ceased to consider

the soviet government as an irregular one, not supported by the free will of the people, and consequently it has resisted all action with reference to Russia that might even remotely be considered as recognition. It is pointed out that Premier Lloyd George spoke for all the allies, however, when he communicated with the soviet au-

City Buys Five Cars Of Coal From Indiana Field Five cars of coal, purchased at $7.50 a ton, delivered in Richmond, were ordered by the board of works Monday from the Illinois-Indiana Colliery company, whose representative appeared before the board. This Is to be a trial order. Coal

from the Linton fields has proved unsatisfactory, Superintendent Dillon informed the board, but the present shipment is from the Terre Haute district. The plant has placed orders for some Indiana coal, but not from the Terre Haute fields. President Gilbert urged that Indiana coal, used by utilities in all parts of the state, excepting the eastern, be given a fair trial at the plant. The coal will cost $6.25 a ton, and the freight rale is $1.25. Between $75 and $100 will be saved on the five cars, it is estimated by city officials.

Light Plant Can Pay July,Bills, Says Bescher Receipts of the municipal light plant will be sufficient to liquidate bills and meet the July payroll, City Controller Bescher said Monday. The deficit, which prevented payment of bills due on July 22, arose from the fact that the Indiana public service commission delayed the hearing on the petition for increased rates,

preventing the plant from earning enough money to meet its obligations.

SO LONG as the acute shortage of man-power in the United States continues, the demand for gasoline4power will continue to increase. Every increase in the demand for gasoline power will affect the price of gasoline, because, though petroleum production is continually increasing, it is not keeping pace with the demand for gasoline. The latest figures available illustrating this point are for March, 1920.

Petroleum Production: Daily Average 1,177,129 bbls. Total for Month 36,491,000 bbls.

Petroleum Consumption: Daily Average 1,417,129 bbls. Total for Month 43,930,999 bbls.

If production continues for the rest of the year at the rate established in the first quarter, the total production of petroleum for 1920 will be in excess of 410,000,000 barrels. If consumption continues for the rest of the year at the rate established in the first quarter, the total consumption of petroleum for the year 1920 will be in excess of 495,000,000 barrels. Or, for the year 1920, consumption may be expected to exceed domestic production of petroleum by 85,000,000 barrels. Because of its high-powered organization, trained through years of experience to the interpretation of conditions, the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) is anticipating increased need for gasoline and is bending every effort to supply the people of the Middle West with the gasoline they need. It means much to the Middle West to be able to use freely that most important of all labor-saving devices the automotive machine. The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) believes that its greatest service lies in providing at all times, everywhere, and at the lowest possible prices, the gasoline needed to operate.
