Considerably the allies renewed their
onslaught ON the German front in
France and Flanders.
Germany admitted her forces had
lost the important point of Tahure and
the heights nearby, though the official
statement claimed to have halted the
renewed offensive by counter attacks,
Paris, on the other hand, told of re
pulse of German attacks at a number OF
points, including Tahure, and heavy
artillery bombardment in several see
tors, evidently in preparation for in
fantry battling.

Russlan offenstve Fails.

Berlin, via The Hague, Oct. IA
gigantic offensive by the Russians
simultaneously with tpe Anglo French
drive was planned recently, according
to information received by authorities,
but Field Marshal Won Hindenburg
blocked the plan.
Russian prisoners disclosed the Slav
strategy which provided that the ear
strike the Dyinsk. Smorgon line, driving
the Tcutons back to the swamps and
duplicating the feat Of Won linden
burg in the battle Of the Mazurian
lakes.
General Rusky, actually launched his
attack accordingly But he found Won
Hindenburg menacing his flanks, and
his every move countered. Won Hin
denburg threatened, indeed, to envelop
the Slavs, whereupon they retreated in
force, abandoning their munitions and
leaving stragglers to be captured by
the Germans.
Concerning operations on the west
front, an officer from there commented
today. "It is hell to head an avalanche
of artillery but the men are optimistic
and certain the French will never
pierce our lines"

London, Oct. with the allied
diplomats reported by Athens already
to have withdrawn from Sofia, the
maelstrom of war today rapidly tended
toward engulfment of the Balkans.
Following an unsatisfactory reply by
Bulgaria to Russia s warlike ultimatum,
and dispatch of another similar ultima
tum from Bulgaria to Serbia, hostilities
were expected soon along the Serbo-
Hungarian border, simultaneously with
an AustrO-German attack on Serbia IS
northern frontier.
General Liman Won Sanders, the Ger
man officer in charge of Turkish oper-
ations, has arrived at Phtllippopolis and
is comforting with Car Ferdinand.
Other German officers are reported to
have gone into Bulgaria from Constan-
tinOple for the beginning of the Ser
bian invasion. Meantime, reports of
heavy reinforcements of Teuton forces
withdrawn from the Russian front were
circulated, though experts inclined to
believe that the ro-Germans had
not made any serious inroads on their
Russian lines, because of the difficulty
under which they are already struggling
there.

the Serbian frontier near Gievgeli
where they were enthusiastically re-

No wonder Benevolence is on the job.
The oil being all this time the property
of the Osages and all other being merely
participants by the enactment of Benevo-
lence in this exceeding Good Thing.
There is still more to this. Paragraph s
of the original lease contains these SEN
fences:
''And the said second party [the fortu-
nate gentlemen raking off the lease] further
covenants and agrees not to remove from
said lands any buildings or Improvements
shall become the property Of the Usage Ma
ton as part of the consideration herein
provided for, provided that all engines, der
ricks, tool and machinery shall remain the
property of the party Of the second part
Under this provision the well-casings,
pipings, tubings and the well themselves
automatically become the property of the
Indians on March Is, 1915. This fact was
conveniently overlooked at that time and
has been dropped out of sight ever since
1906 therefore the lessees have been using
the property of the Indians without COM
pensation and the new lease purposes to
continue this gouge
There il every reason to believe that the
Usage oil deposits are of enormous value ard
will shortly dominate the oil production of
the country. So far they have hardly been
touched. AT present there are about 1900
wells producing H. barrels day bur
the map shows that only small part OF the
territory has been developed, and this in the
eastern half of the reservation. The same
geological formation and the same sand
underlie the whole area. To the East the
Cherokee country has been thoroughly de-
veloped and oil is found under it, and no
reason exists to doubt that the same con-
dition prevails in the Usage country with
even richer deposits.
a particularly Objectionable provision of
the original act was that aftdr 1915 the
mineral right in the land should belong to
the owner of the surface This was put in
to give chance to shoulder the Indians out
Of the surface land and thus get the owner
