    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*.

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.
