Russian Premier Trepoff Announces War Spoils Deal
Premier Trepoff states that in 1915 an agreement with allies gave Russia the right to Constantinople and the straits, with Italy later joining. He argues the accord, not battles, holds the war’s deeper significance while Russia pushes in Moldavia and Romania amid protests in the Duma.

Secretary Lane Urges Protecting Shale Lands as Navy Fuel Reserve
Secretary Lane urged President Wilson to withdraw 45 000 acres in Colorado and 86 000 acres in Utah from entry to form a navy fuel reserve. The lands near rail lines include Green River shale yielding 1 000 000 000 barrels of oil and 10 15 percent gasoline with ammonium sulfate as byproduct. Much of the arid area is poor for farming but some parcels may be entered under agricultural laws with government reservations for oil and gas.
