Jan. 27. Since the World war emphasized the importance of petroleum in modem warfare, and wakened a keen realization of the even greater part it will be called on to play in reconstruction and in the in dustrial and commercial development of the future, interest has turned more and. more to Mexico, which contains the mc?t spectacular of the present producing oil fields. This nearby oil region is the subject of the following bulletin Issued by the National Geo- paphic society: "Mexico came" into the world race for oil production late. Its first producing, well, yielding a modest 50 barrels a j. was brought in not quite 20 years ago. Now It has a group of the great est eushers in the world, a number of wmcn arp capable , of producing from 75,001 to lnn.nnn barrels each , of 'liquid gold1 daily. By 1911 Mexican produc tion reached twelve and a half million iarrels annually and surpassed that of three of the long-standing leaders mong the countries to which '. the torld loked for its oil supply Ru mania, Galicia, and the Dutch East In dies, .

This latter production was in ex cess not only of the current annual Production of Russia, previously sec nd among oil producing countries, but also exceeded Russia's high water nark of S5.0fi0.noo parrels in 1901. Now '"i'y the United States, with a pfoduc- pn or nearly 400,000,000 barrels, Is wad of Mexico.

Dr. Harry Plotx, ranked as the world's foremost typhus expert, through bis discovery of the typhus baolhts, ha jost sailed for Europe at the head of a medical trait of 20 experienced Amer ican specialists, which will fight epi demics and lannch health programs in the stricken coemtries of Eastern and Central Europe under the auspices of the Jewish Joint Distribution Commit tee, one of the eight leading American relief organizations joined m the great $33,000,000 appeal of the European Re lief Council, of which Franklin K. Lane, 42 Broadway, is treasurer. Herbert Hoover is chairman of the Council and will direct the administra tion of iti relief funds, $10,000,000 of which will go for medical relief, the balance for food and clothing for the 3500,000 starving children in Eastern arid Central Europe. , Dr. Plotx is a member of the commission of leading medical experts, which will strpenrise the medical relief work of the Council. Doctors and hospitals in the stricken areas are helpless to combat diseases, because of their complete lack of .' the simplest medical sapplies, according to Dr. Plotx, who asserts that the typhus epidemic will recur this winter in even more severe form than last year. The first uadertakmg of the American Jew ish' medical unit will be to furnish medical supplies to communities so that epidemics can be fought. ine Wilmington Building Trades council, in session ;ast night, decided cnat they would stand pat and await the next move. At the conclusion of the meeting- of the Building .Trades council, gave j-iie Biar-vtne iolJowing statement: "Who is the Master Rnilrt nation? Aii organization nt -orb.ifVi ganized labor knows nothings ahout. ve sk mis aDove question .after noting the article in the local naners of recent date decreeine- that the rates 10 oe paid the different crafts must be j started. The "bout at that time had v u staling the different scale of waeres which the Master Builders' association see fit to quote. ' "Owinc- to the fact that none nf the different crafts have anv agreement of any kind with the Master Builders' as sociation, we see no reason why they should make anv adluRtment in xva.ere-.it "How Things Really Stand" Each and everv organization of the building crafts has an agreement of some sort which have been signed by both parties (contractors and jour neymen) parties to these agreements which have been lived-up to by both parties and at -the present date there has been no differences or difficulties of any sort which nave not been met satisfactory and adjusted by these agreements to both parties. Therefore we see no reason why at this time we should break these agree ments or have them broken by any ex- le organization for the' sole purpose of creating: strife and discontent amongst the rank and file as well as the poor and needy, which has no representa tion in any craft or society of any sort. Organized labor will at any time meet any and all agreements which they have entered into or any part thereof for the upbuilding of our beau tiful city and to encourage building." For the particular - purpose of con sidering the recently announced cut in wages, the painters' local union met in session last night and after much dis cussion decided that they would not have their scale of wages reduced from ninety cents an hour, which they now receive, to seventy-two cents, as pro posed by the. contractors. 'The carpen ters and steel workers met last night and took similar action. Discussing the matter yesterday af ternoon, union men closely identified with the Builders' Trades council de clared that the union men had no idea of accepting the proposed cut. It was stated that already some of. the men who would be affected by a reduction haye begun to figure on contracts for themselves. liquid mineral wealth of the republic. The fields now under exploitation cover only about 800 square miles. Geolog ists have found promising structure for oil in . Mexico over an area aggre gating 230,000 square miles. "The future of the Mexican oil in dustry is likely to be profoundly af fected by political developments. The Mexican constitution of 1917 In effect declares that oil found under land does not belong to the owner of the land but to the state. This provision and regulations based on it have been con tested by the foreign interests "which control 97 per cent of the Mexican oil industry. Action has been taken both through diplomatic channels and in the Mexican courts, but no final decisions have been reached." ' DEATH OF MR, PLUMB A. O.

The. wrestlers went to it'aeain and in three minutes Fritz secured a combination wrist-lock and hammer-lock on Ellis, pinning his shoulders to the mat. 1 Until last night the longest match ever staged in Wilmington was be tween Hansen and Seaholm.
