LOOK FOR STRONG ADVANCE
Germans Believed to Be Preparing
Another Effort to Reach the
French Coast.

London, Nov. 23-Developments OF
the last few days indicate that the
Germans are preparing to make an.
other desperate effort for dash into
France 1t is expected they will at.
tempt to get through to the French
coast and perhaps to force the line
of French fortresses in the Argonne
region.
The Germans have been violently
bombarding Ypres in Flanders, Sois.
sons, in the Aisne valley, and Reims
while they have been making attacks
in force in the Argonne region. The
French claim that the assaults In the
last named region have been repulsed,
while the Germans say that they have
been gaining ground steadily.
In order to ward off the possibilities
of the Germans again trying to move
along the coast the British feet has
been bombarding their positions from
the sea.
British Squadron Driven Back.
The official statement given out In
Berlin today was as follows:
Fighting continues at Newport and
at Ypres. A small British squadron
twice approached the coast, but was
driven off by our artillery. The Brit
fish naval guns had no effect.
In the forest of the Argonne we
are gaining ground step by step, one
trench after another, and one point OF
support after another being wrested
from the French and a number OF
prisoners being taken daily.
"a violent accommodating expedition
against our position on the east of the
Moselle river was made ineffective by
our counter-attack."

London. Nov. 24.-The Russian
armies under the leadership of Grand
Duke Nicholas apparently have won
decisive victory over the German
forces under General Won Hindenburg.
All reports from Petrograd received
indicate that the second German at

The Germans, who penetrated Rus
sian Poland between the Vistula and
Warta rivers to within thirty-f1ve miles
of Warsaw, again are reported retreat

covering five days, In which they sus-
tanned enormous losses.
Statement From Berlin.

Prussia the situation remains un-
changed. In Poland the appearance
of Russian re-enforcements is post
poning a decision of the battle"
Steadily pressing forward south of
the Vistula river, the German forces
in Russian Poland have captured the
three towns of Lowicz, Debsk and
Rozlazlow, according to a semioficial
dispatch received here from the front
early today. These three towns are
on the Bzura river. Rozlazlow is
only 81 miles west of Warsaw.
A military authority quoted by the
Lokal Anzeiger declares that the fall
of Lemberg is only a question of time
because Won Hindenburg is rolling up
the Russian right, while the Austrians
are attacking on the left. There is,
however, no direct information from
the front to confirm this opinion.
The utmost confidence was ex-
pressed at the war office that the re-
suit of the battle raging in Poland
would be a decisive victory for the
Germans and Austrians and would
;ettle the fate of the Russian cam
paign.
A dispatch from Vienna says it is
officially announced there that the
Austro-German armies in Poland have
driven all the Russians south of the
Szreniawa river back across that
stream with heavy losses and that the
Austrian successes in Servia con-
tinue.

today announced the capture of Gum

The capture of Gumbinnen Is i'm

Court Finds Use for Autos.

A good story is told of the intro
duction of motor lorries into Afghanis-
tan. H. NJ the Amir called special
durbar to discuss the formation Of a
Motor Lorry company of which he
would be managing director, and ex-
planned what an impetus to trade a
motor service would be. At present
a valuable market for fruit, etc, was
lost through the length of the journey
to Peshawur A motor lorry would
cover the distance in a couple of days,
and the return for the expenditure
would be immediate. AS managing
director his majesty would pay half
the cost of the lorries and the durbar
could subscribe the rest. The scheme
was unanimously approved, and no op-
position was raised to proviso by
the Amir that the lorries should be
available whenever the court was
moving. Ten motor lorries were
bought. and the durbaris, it is said,
are still wondering when they will
be free from the requirements Of the
court and will be available to carry
produce to Peshawur.

Today's Hearing.

Corporation Commissioners George
A. Henshaw is here to hear the COM
plaint of some of the producers Of
the Healdton field that fair division
of the oil is not made by the state
inspector who has charge of the pipe
line runs. The hearing will be had this
afternoon at the court house, and
Judge Henshaw will go from here
direct to Tulsa on matters connected
with the fields in that portion of the
state.
Judge George C.. Greer, general at
torney for the Magnolia Petroleum
Company is expected to arrive at noon
TO be present at the hearing. Il, A.
Latimer general manager of the pipe
line company is i'll at his home in
Corsicana and cannot be here.
Vernon Calvert is here for the hear
ing. He Is the state inspector who
has charge of the runs. He states
that II. NJ Cole, general manager Of
the Twin State Oil Company has com
piled some figures and made com
plant to the commission. He states
that Mr.. Cole failed to get the pro-
duction of the leases before he made
his percentage figures and that all his
estimates are wrong. He states further
that If there were less interference
on the part of those who do not under
stand the situation that he would have
more time to devote to his business
of taking the oil and could do his
work better.
Mr.. Calvert has one of the most diff
6cult places in the state to fill with
satisfaction. Producers who feel that
they are not getting fair share Of
their oil taken. are persistent in their
efforts to get more of their oil on the
market. The truth of the matter as
expressed by one of the big produc-
ers is that Calvert is doing all that
any one man can do, that he is honest
conscientious and painstaking in his
work. but there is more than one man
can do. So many complaints are made
that much of the inspectors time IS
taken up. He does almost as much
work as three men are required to
do in the Cushing field and one OF the
results expected today is that more
help will be given the inspector
The OIL Problem
The oil men have before them the
greatest problem that has ever con.
fronted the business Of producing oil.
Judge Henshaw confirms what the
Ardmorete said yesterday that there
Is not an oyerproduction of oil to take
the country as a whole, but there is a
production in Oklahoma greater than
the capacities of the pipe lines and Of
the refneries and it amounts to an
overproduction of oil as far as the
selling features are concerned.
Producers are cooperating well.
All the companies have common
working basis tentatively made by
which they will buy a tract of $40
acres at Cushing and build a common
tank farm for storage of oil. Each
man will pay his pro rata part of the
farm based upon the oil which he
