BRITISH HEADQUARTERS IN
FRANCE, May 21-(Nia London.)-
SO completely did the British artillery
do its work before the attack between
Croislles and Bullecourt that three
thousand yards Of the Iiindenburg
line are totally missing, 1t became ap-
parent today This segment of the
German defenses was completely
wiped out.
Airplane photographs taken May l
show beautifully symmetrical Zigzags'
but the latest pictures taken contain
no trace Of trenches.
"Strafc" support Line.
The support line also was badly
"strafed" some six thousand yards
of it now being in British hands, leaV-
ing the German holding the remain
ing two thousand yards The linden
burg front line between the south end
of the captured trenches and Bulie-
court is in dire danger as it is flanked
on both sides by the British.
The engagement was really made up
of two attacks, one in the early morn
ing when seventy prisoners were
taken, and the second in the afternoon,
the two netting some one hundred ana
fifty prisoners for the days work IN
this sector. The German artillery S
terbarrage during the attack was par
ticularly weak.
Prisoners Tired of War.
The prisoners showed by word and
action that they were thoroly tired
of war. They had been in the line 2l
DAYS and constantly under British
shell fire and said they had seen
nothing like the artillery fire. Altho
they were concreted, all that remains
of the captured portions of the Hin
denburg line are cement and concrete
machine gun emplaceNents An un-
derground corridor parallels the sup
port trench 3j feet below the sur
face.
Several Isolated posts still stand be-
tween the scene of the latest smash
and the Queant-Drocourt line. These
include the villages of Reincourt and
Hendecourt and other strong points
in which the Germans are capable of
putting up strong resistance.

DEFENDANTS WINNERS
IN THL0CC0 APPEAL
U. S. Supreme Court Ruling
Far-Reaching; Affects Much
Litigation in State.
From The World Washington Bureau,
-nH Mntrnnnlitnn Bank Rulliing


WASHINGTON, May 21.-The su-
preme court today handed down de-
cision affirming the lower court In
the case of the Creek nation against
Bessie Wildcat. the heir of Barney
Thlocco and others, in favor of the
defendants. The case involves l60
acres of oil land in the Gushing field,
estimated to be worth from S3,OOO,OV
to $4,000, 900, and is being operated
bv the Black Panther Oil company,
comprising about three hundred
stockholders Of whom former Cover
nor Haskell and Doctor Weber are
two.
The basis OF the claim of the Creek
nation to cancel the allotment was
on the ground that Barney Thlocco,
the allottee, died prior to April j.
1899. Other defendants claimed an
interest under subsequent allotments
and intervened for the same relief
from the United States.
The court decided that-the Creek
nation had no right to go behind the
records of the Dawes commission,
even tho the allottee We're dead before
the allotment was recorded

estimates were between 100000

Special to The World

Special to The World
MUSHOGEE. May 21. - one of
the most important witnesses for
the defense in the Tommy Atkins
trial practically killed the testimony
for which he was called while under
cross examination today. The witness
was Adolph Lange, a Leavenworth
druggist, who declared on direct eX-
animation that he knew Minnie At
/ kins, whom Page is endeavoring to
set up as the mother of Tommy At
kins. Lange further declared that in
the spring of 1885 he observed that
Minnie was about to become mother.
Asked to describe the woman he
saw then, Lange said she was about
/ five feet two inches In height, or four
/ inches shorter than himself Minnie
was sitting in the courtroom while the
testimony was being given. Attorneys
! for the government .hen proposed
that Minnie stand alongside Lange for
| a comparison of their heights. Pages
counsel objected strenuously, but
Judge Campbell held that such a
demonstration was of great import
ance TO the trial.
She Was Too Tall

and the bailiff was forced to rap sew
eral times to quiet the gale of laugh

PLANTATION.
Government attorneys sarcastically
remarked tonight that If Page insisted
on having Minnie the woman whom
| Lange knew in Leavenworth they
would also have to credit her with the
accomplishment of increasing her
height six inches since she reached
maturity.

In spite of the damper which the
war threatened to put upon music in
Tulsa as well as elsewhere through
out the United States, not only from
the standpoint of conservation but
for the reason that the first few weeks
after the declaration We're followed

nature during the season 1917-1S. The
