By FRANK E. MASON, (International News Service Staff Correspondent). jkniS, March 1. Commercial wars have succeeded the Var, and France, Italy and bpain are engaged, so to speak, in a merry little game ot trying to cut each other s economic throats. Independent of each other, for they are great competitors, Italy and Spain are waging a commercial war against France.

This clause In the patent waa con tested by Mr. 13 111. who at once took the uiatior Into the federal courts, claiming that the land was not classi fied as oil property and that in set tling it for agricultural purposes he was entitled to a patent granting him all rights. While thla case was pending in the courts oil companies began working In the valloy. The valley Is in the form of a horsochoe and all around the cdve of the valley are to be found huge oil fields.
