front today in answer to heavy
German reinforcements,
Tne French high command com-
munique said:
“All sectors on the front were
quiet throughout the night. There
was local activity in advance
posts.”
The previous communique, last
night, had said:
“There is nothing important to
remark. Aerial activity was re-
duced on account of atmospheric
conditions."
3U-Hour Lull
It was understood that there
had been a lull in fighting for al-
most 36 hours.
, This .lull was regarded a tem-
porary interval in which the
French were using tactics used
since the start of the war and
were preparing their next move
against the German positions.

against federal, oil control. ,
Before going to the airport
Smith said their hurried visit was
precipitated by press reports of
statements of the federal secre-
tary of the interior on the oil sit-
uation.
Study Control
The commissioners conferred to-
day on plans to keep the Texas of!
fields’ production within the esti-
mate of market demand issued by
the United States Bureau of,
Mines.
Sadler announced that he is rec-
