The enormous gas waste mount-

celled to the attention of the rail-
road commission, with the roenit
that this body, not caring to work

lated a/plan whereby this I### of

- contention of the majority of opera-
tors that it la almost impossible to
ease off each individual horizon
with any practicability, and would
entail additional, expenses to ths
drilling of the wells.
Ths commission which has had

In order to overcome these ob-
stacles mentioned the commission
has recommended the pouring et
mud laden water while drilling,
which will shut off the gea with the
additional operation of reaming the
formation at Intervale of from
every 4 to. 6 hours, in this way the

SHANGHAI Sept. l<P>—Fierce
fighting in. three sectors between
the armies of rival Chinese military
