London, Nov. IS Undeterred by
wintry weather and floods, the Ger
mans are still making an effort tC
| break down the allies defense along
the Franco-Belgian frontier. Although
the Berlin official report refers tc
| Tuesday as having been a quiet day
there have been almost continuous ar
tilery duels, with occasional infantry
attacks, but apparently without either
side making any progress.
The line from the coast to Nieuport,
which has been receiving less atten-
ton since the Germans began their
attempt to get the British out of
Ypres, again has been subjected to a
bombardment, which is described as a
very violent one, while to the south OF
| DiXmude the Germans have been try
ing under fire from the allies can
non TO build works to check the flood
which compelled them to eyacuate a
part of their trenches.
At other points the big guns have
again been busy and Rheims has been
subjected to another rain of shells.
From the allies point of view prob
ably the most important operations are
those to the south of Verdun, where
the French troops for some time have
been trying further to relieve the pres
sure which the Germans have been eX-
erting on the fortress. They have at
last succeeded according to the French
official communication, and besides max
ing some progress on the heights of
the Meuses, they have advanced on
St Mihiel, the only point on the left
bank of the Meuse which the Ger
mans have been successful in holding.
Another big battle is developing in
Poland between the Vistula and War
te Rivers, where the Russian advance
has been met by large forces of Ger
mans coming from ThOrns. The Ger
man plan seems to be to attack the
Russian center in the hope of drawing
their wings from East Prussian and

SUPREME COURT HOLDS 1T is
SUBJECT TO TAXATION AS
OTHER HERPRoPERT-HUNDREDs
NEGROES ESCAPE PAYMENT.

Oklahoma City, Nov. IL Several
thousand acres of valuable land al
lotted by the government to former
negro slaves in the Chickasaw nation
We're declared to be subject to taxa
ton the same as other land, by the
state supreme court, in an opinion
announced Tuesday morning by Jus
tice Willard r. Bleakmore. This
ruling reverses a former opinion of
the court, written by Justice John b.
Turner which held the land of form
er Chickasaw slaves was exempt.
The land in question is owned by
negroes who were former slaves of
the Chickasaws, and was allotted under
an act of congress in 1902. The land
was purchased from the Indian ma
tion by the government expressly for
the purpose of allotment to the for
mer slaves. Imediately after state
hood those who still held their allot-
ments resisted the payment of taxes,
claiming the land was exempt from
taxation under the Atoka agreement.
The Atoka agreement held that
land allotted to freedmen should be
exempt from taxation, but the court
holds that under that agreement no
land was allotted to the Chickasaw
freedmen and therefore the terms of
that agreement do not apply. Under
an act of congress in 1902, forty acres
of land were allotted to each freed
man in the Chickasaw nation, but the
court holds that congress never in
tended to give the freedman equal
rights with the Indian.
Three Hundred PLAINTIFFS.
The opinion is given in the case of
800 negroes who sought
to enjoin the collection of taxes on
their land by an order from the dis
