General Allen's American array on the Rhine is more than maintaining the reputation the Americans won in the war when the Germans with the they startled accuracy of their rifle fire. The annual spring target practice Is on at Vlelbach and some of the groups are making records of which any American soldier may well be proud. The work of three companies of the second battalion of the Eighth regiment shows that of 1S7 men firing only 11 failed to qualify as marksmen. The results were: Company E, 49 men firing, qualified eight expert riflemen. 15 sharpshooters and 24 marksmen. Company F. 44. men firing, turned in two expert riflemen, 16 sharpshooters and 24 marksmen. Company G. 44 men made three expert riflemen, firing nine sharpshooters and 25. marksmen.

American oil companies are awaiting rv.'a keen Interest the passage of the petroleum bill. now before the chamber of deputies, which opens the French markets to all countries on an equal basis, for the first time since the war. Oil has been a government monopoly during that period. The French government has promised that the measure will be effective June 1 and officials of American oil concerns in Paris confidently expect the passage J2l the act. The adoption will mark the close of several years of intensive effort on the part of American companies to obtain permission to do business in France. Several American oil companies have established offices In Paris and are making rxtenslve plans for selling their products in France on the American methods. The first plan which the American companies will put Into effect Is a scheme to reduce the price of gasoline to the consumer. The government through Its monopoly has sustained considerable losses and it has on hand at the present time an eight months' Bupply of oil which cost it 2,000,000,000 francs more than the present market price. It is understood that the American concerns probably will take over this stock and import American oil. The price of the two will be averaged and the French consumer given the benefit of a reduction. The price of gasoline in France today is about 85 cents a gallon. Statements have been made In the chamber of deputies to the effect that the consumer Is paying higher price under government control than under free trade, while the government is losing 15,000,000 franca i monthly. hr i:jov CHINESE TRADE advancing party and s they qutckensd thetr Charle ran for the shelter cf step. th trees and bus he.
