NEW TREATY WITH
AUSTRIAN RULER
German Chancellor Indignantly
Washes Hands of Entire
, Matter; Peeved at Arro

gJMiivvwi III I II IUI J bWUUViVI
London, May 21. Strong opposi
tion to the recently arranged alliance
between Germany and Austria-Hungary
is voiced by Chancellor von
Hertling and Foreign Secretary von
Kuehlmann, according -to reports re
ceived from The Hague.
The chancellor and foreign secre
tary arc reported to have said that
they washed their hands of the en
tire matter, as they objected to the
methods by which the military part of
the convention was devised over their
heads by the German higher com
mand. General Ludendorff is said to
be insisting that the agreement be
passed and signed at once.
The military sections bind each
party to aid the other with all its
forces against any and every enemy,
thus compelling Austria to place all
its forces at the disposal of Germany.

trnor Trittle. Mr. Trittle acted as

Supreme Court Passes on
Question of Excise Taxes
Washington, May 21. In an opin
ion today, growing out of the collec
tion of taxes under the corporation
txcise tax act of 1909, the supreme
court held that only profits accrued
since that act became effective are
taxable under its provisions. Just
-how the .taxable part is to be sepa
rated from that previously received "is
l matter of some nicety," Justice Pit
ney conceded in rendering the de
rision.

INVEST THIRTY DOLLARS
With Opportunity of Making a FORTUNE
We own what we consider the most valuable tract of prospective
oil land in the Gusher Oil District of the Gulf Coast of Texas at High
Island, Chambers county.
High Island Geologically Approved
The best geologists in the world, those of the U. S. Government, say
that High Island has indications similar to the famous old Spindletop,
northeast of our property, where wells came in at a reported rate of
75,000 barrels of oil per day. We firmly believe that the great Mother
Field from which the Spindletop, Goose Creek and Humble and Sour
Lake oil fields all sprung, exists at High Island ; and if we are success
full in proving this claim, it should mean millions to be divided equally
between our company and the people who assist us.
We Guarantee to Drill Two Big Wells
One to be drilled on this wonderful prospective property, and one'
on our positively proven lease in Famous Humble Gusher Oil Field,
already surrounded by producing wells.with oil positively proven to be'
on our lease.6
50 of Profits Goes ta Tract Purchasers
Each tract purchaser shares proportionately in 50 per cent of the
profits from the two wells we guarantee to drill, and also shares in the
same ratio in the profits made from all other wells we may drill later.
You Receive 10 of Oil from Your Tract
If your tract or tracts, is selected upon which to drill, you would
receive a royalty of 10 per cent of all Oil produced and saved. For in
stance, if we bring in a 2,000-barrel well on your tract at $2.00 per bar
rel, or $4,000 per day, your royalty would be approximately $400.00
per day, and in addition you would receive your pro rata profits also. '
Our Humble Lease Protects Your Investment
WeJbelieve our proven Humble lease, regardless of the outcome at
High Island, should enable the' company to pay you big profits on your
investment, and when we bring in oil on the High Island property, prov
ing up on these tracts, we believe every one of our tract purchasers will
be able to make enormous profits bv leasing or selling their holdings.
One acre in the Humble Field sold for $218,750 after Oiltwas brought
in.
You Are Not Risking a Fortune
Please bear in mind that when you invest $30 for a quarter-acre
tract, you are not risking a great amount, but are investing where we
are reasonably certain of making you big profits, and with the best pros
pects in the world of making a fortune for you. '
You Want a Share of These Profits k
As there are only a limited number of tracts to be sold, we advise
you to send a remittance immediately for the number of tracts you
want, at $30.00 each.
