WASHINGTON, Nov. 3o--A majority OF
the supreme court today Joined In an
opinion that the Oklahoma Jim Crow"
law proviso permitting railroads to fur

only to the white race was
unconstitutional but they did not so de-
cree because of imperfections in the pe-
tition on which the case reached the
court.
The case was one in which five negroes,
claiming that the entire law was unoon-
stituuonal, sought an injunction to re-
strain five railroads in Oklahoma from
enforcing IL The Oklahoma federal
court dismissed the petition, holding the
law constitutional The majority OF the
court affirmed the dismissal today be-
cause the negroes had not shown they
had applied to the roads for accommoda-
ton under the law or that the railroads
had notified them that they would be re-
fused certain accommodations.
The majority, through Justice Hughes,

with the lower court that the provision

constitutional. A minority, consisting OF

The possibility that II had been SGT

A recent report that a mine had been
lost by or was missing from the Brook

The mine was of different design

army; hence the theory that II might

The Days
War NerOs

Russia's forces. IL is reported
unoffioially. have at last reached
Cracow. the Austrian fortress In
northwestern Galicia, near the
boundaries of Russia and Ger
many. An Italian correspondent
at the front states that Cracow is
now being bombarded by heavy
Russian siege guns, and that one
of the suburbs is In flames,
other than this report there
was little information concerning
the situation in the east. The
main question, In the opinion of
London, was whether the German
army which struck at the Rus
sian center would be able to ex-
tricate itself and fall back to the
border without a disaster.
Opinions differ sharply as to
the intentions of Germany con-
cerning operations in the west. 1t
Is reported that Germany is about
to embark on new offensive
movement; that the allies are
about to assume the offensive;
that the German line has been
weakened perceptibly, and that a
new German army is being rushed
into Flanders.
Russia's campaign against Tur-
key likewise has reached a period
of inactivity. The latest report
from the Russian army Of the
Caucasus is to the effect that no
movements of Importance are un-
der way.
Germany acknowledges that
the Russian northern army has
penetrated into East Prussia to
distance fifteen mdles southwest
of Gumbinnen, which is about
twenty miles west of the German
border. In Belgium, says the
French official statement, 1t is
the allies and not the Germans
who are, now on the offensive.
According to the French Off
cial statement, the German forces
in Belgium are on the defensive
and the allies have made progress
"at certain points" Fighting
continues in the Argonne, where,
the French statement asserts
German attacks were repulsed.
