Germans Still ► Preparing for War, Report Says Allied Committee Charges Young Men Are Being Trained Seeretlv and Stores of Arms Found. Hr Associated I'rcae. Pari?. March 2.—The opinion of Marshal Koch snd his colleague? of the allied war committee 1? that the report of the military control mission allow? that the Germans peraist In their determination to maintain a complete ataff of officers for an army such as existed prior to 1914. Also, the committee believes, Germany is . educating not only officers and subal terns to this end, but under all sorts of camouflage, is training enough young men to mobilize a strong fight ing nrmy whenever it wishes to do so. This, the committee says, in a writ ten opinion which the ambassadors' „ council will consider tomorrow, is of far greater import than the discov ery of unauthorized war material, al though It is pointed out that the existence of illicitly manufactured rifles, machine gun? and parts of cannon, emphasizes the seriousness of the situation. Secret Shops Found. Among the details of the control mission’s report, to which the mili tary experts refer, is the discovery in steel mills of secret shops walled up from the eyes of the indiscreet where are stored patterns and molds for the most improved type of cannon and even finished tubes that in a short time could be completed Into guns ready to fire. Tips given by German pacifists lead to many finds of this sort, including more new rifles than would be required to arm the entire German army on the basis of Ver sailles treaty. Information given by workmen em ployed In chemical factories led to the finding of conclusive evidence that fa cilities for the production of asphyxi ating gas have been left intact as they existed at the end of the great war. The report on this point con firms evidence which the allies have had for some time to the effect that the Germans had erected new fac tories that could almost instantly be devoted to the production of vast quantities of the most deadly weapon which the war developed and which had Just begun to demonstrate how deadly it could be made when the conflict ended. May Call Conference. These discoveries, In the opinion of the military experts, are rendered all the more Important by proofs of the existence of a military atafT school and the training of young men of Germany for an army such as that with which the country entered the great war. The opinion in dlplomatlo circles this evening is that the ambassadors’ council will give both reports a sort of casual scrutiny and then the gov moment -will discus* the Idea of calling an allied conference to deal finally with the matter. This confer ence probably will not he called until after the Belgian election* a* It would he held in Brus*el*. Telephone Men Told How Accident?

Sinclair Fears Exhaustion of Crude Oil Stock Corporation Hoad Sounds Warning That Reserve May Be Depleted hy End of 1926. New York, March 2.—Exhaustion of the country's crude oil reserves by the end of 19215, with prospects of smaller production and Increased con sumption this year, was said to he a possibility today by Harry K. Sin claim. chairman o'f the Sinclair Con solidation Oil cor poration. Eliminating "dead storks" from 400,000,000 barrels of crude oil above ground in the 1'nited States, includ ing oil In transit through pipe lines, in "settling tanks" on producing properties, at terminals awaiting shipment by lank steamers and "working storks" st refineries, Sin clair placed the amount which cnuld he classed as "reserve" at. 300,000,000 barrels, or the equivalent of 130 days’ supply st the snticipated rate of con sumption during 1925. (Production Uncertain. "A reserve of ISO days' supply would be entirely adequate If We were assured that the rate of production would approximately keep pace with the demand," he said. "But no such assurance Is possible. Present indi cations are that the average produc tion during 1925 will he less than in 1924, although consumption will he much greater. It now seems prob able that we must draw this reserve during 1925 on an average of 200.000 barrels a day, or approximately 76, 000.000 barrels. "A normal Increase in demand for 19215 would then necessitate a drain upon storage of from 400.000 to 450,000 barrels daily, virtually wip ing out I he entire reserves by the end of 1926." Kefiners I'neasy. Sinclair asserted that this possi bility readily might become an actuality. Although t'ne atiperficial observer regards the gasoline situation as nor mal with respect to supply and de mand. Mr. Sinclair said it was an un deniable fart that many refiners were beginning to grow a little tin easy, wondering whether they would able to get enough crude oil to keep their plants running.
