The complete failure Of the recent ottensives in Flanders and at other points on the Western front is con- elusive evidence that Germany is no longer able to make further inro2ds into the allied territory. on the other hand. the repeated successes of the British and French disclose with cer- ,itude that her enemies are able to go ahead practically at will Through out the entire period since the allies inaugur0tcd their spring offensive
 Germany has not attained one import ant victory on the entire three hun dred miles ot battle line in France ,lnd Belgium. Tlthough she has re- pedtedly and with terrific intensity flung her legions against the allied front In herculeau endeavors 10 resume her famous policy of defense by offensc," She furious lunges have avaled her nothing. Not single rod ot enemy territory has passed into her possession for more than brief season since early June.
 In the vast majority Of cases she not only been unable to make gains but has found herself compelled 10 re- sume nasty defensive to avoid a disastrous defeat. Time after time her offensive rushes have been met by allied counter drives which have forced her to hurriedly abandon wide sec ti0ns of her own territory. Although a terrific and well nigh irresistible force al the beginning, the recent se- were rayerses at Verdun. aiong the Aisne and in the Flanders section are conclusive indication that the best she is able to do is hold her own against the huge offensive forces now arrayed against her. Not even during the per iod when the Russian revolt permitted her to withdraw the major portion of her eastern forces for service on the west front was she able .o achieve single distinct victory in all the num- erous engagements fought along the French and Belgian lines. Complete failure has been the signal feature of every efrort to resume the furious offensives characteristic of her

much money have spent trying to get
something that would give her some
relief only to be disappointed The
slightest change in the weather caus-
ed her to take cold and during all the
spring months she suffered drcddfully
from this catarrh. Her nose and
throat closged up so she could hardly
breathe for weeks and at times she
would almost go wild with headache.
Most everything she ate disagreed
with her and her food would sour and
bloat her up terrible an the pain was
something awful until she could get
her stomach empty.

FIRST COURT IS HELD
IN FEDERAL BUILDING
All Officers for Eastern Dis
trict Present at Special
Motion Day.

Tulsa's new federal building was
officially dedicated to justice yester-
day by Judge Ralph T. Campbell
when he opened the first United
States court in the handsome new
courtroom.
All the officers of Judge Camp
bells court were present, including
tie clerk, r.. =. Harrison. his assistant,
o. Lorton, United States District At
torney w, =. McGnnis and his as
sistant, Paul Pinson, and United States
Marshal b. A. Enloe, jr.
1t was special motion day on
cases shortly to come up and a large
number Of visiting lawyers were pres
ent from nearby cities, among them
being n. A. Gibson, n. Il. Maxey and
Frank Lee Of MIskogee.
All the officers of the court were
highly pleased with the new court
room, Judge Campbell expressing
much satisfaction with the accQmmo-
dations and arrangements.
Most of the motions heard had 10
do with oil litigation. One of the
most important was a suit by w. l..
Gray, Love county cattleman and
farmer, against the Carter oil company
and a dozen or so other companies,
including the Producers, the RoXana.
Southwestern Petroleum and Bullhead
for $4,000 damages to a stream that
was polluted and damaged he claimed,
from oil waste of the defendants.
The Carter company appeared, ask
ing for a removal from the district
court at Marietta to the United States
court here on the ground that what
ever damage had been done had been
done by the companies individually
and that they were therefore respon-
sible individually.
Gray had filed his suit collectively.
He was represented by j. e. williams
of Ardmore, and the Carter COM
panys motion brought long process
sion of attorneys representing the
other companies into the case.
Williams resisted the motion for
removal, contending that the damage
had been done Jointly by all the COM
panies and that they were jointly re-
spopsible. He said that the acts of
no enc of the companies in them
selves were sufficient to justify a suit.
Judge Campbell granted the mo-
ton for removal, holding that the
damage was individual and that each
company must be held liable for only
whatever amount OF damage it did.
The case will come to trial on its
merits,

YANKS ON GUARD THIS TIME
Trapped in Sleeping Quarters
in First Clash Yet Make
Desperate Fight.

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY IN
FRANCE. Nov. 12.-The American
infantrymen in the trenches and
artillerists in the gun pits have had
their first real experience with gas
shells. The Germans have let loose
many during the last two days, MAX
Ing the use OF gas masks necessary.
Shrapnel also has been freely used
by both sides.
During a recent night the enemy
machine guns were again turned on
the American trenches, the Ameri-
cans replying with an equally vigorous
fire.
Complete details and verified re-
ports of the recent German trench
raid show that the American troops
on that occasion set an example for
courage and valor unexcelled. The
officer who had charge OF verifying
the accounts of the raid said to the
correspondent today:
Fight Desperately.
II am proud to say that our men
engaged in the fight did everything
within their power. They jumped
into the fight and stuck to 1t. In the
first place the troops had been in the
trenches less than three hours when

Some of them were allowed to go to

when the barrage began these
men did not hear the racket. 1t is
apparent that the first they knew
of It was when the Germans started
throwing grenades down upon them.
1t was these men who were taken
prisoners but they fought we'll even
when surprised that way. for the
stairs of the dugouts were covered
with blood, especially the top half,
showing that the Germans must have
been hit The entrance to the dugout
also gave indications of close hand

From the dugout thru the trenches
and over the top thru the barbed wire
and well out into No Mans Land
there was wide red trail. How much
Of 1t was American and how much
German blood is not known.
Corporal Hero.
There is a corporal now in the
hospital back of the lines who did a
good job. He was in the listening
post when the barrage began. During

ATTORNEYS AND DOCTORS TO
BE ADVISORS IN NEXT DRAFT
War Department Moves TO Relieve
Local Boards of Much De-
tail Work

OKLAHOMA CITY, Nov. "a
Physicians and lawyers to be grouped
in separate organizations representing
their professions will be made ad-
visory boards to the district eXemp-
tion boards in the examination and
exemption Of men in the next call
uLder the selectiVe draft, according
to an extensive letter received by Ad-
jutant General Ancel carp today from
Provost Marshal Crowder. The plan
is in line with the purpose OF the war
department to relieve the work of dis
trict and exemption boards of so
much detail work. such as attended
the first draft Of men.
Physicians are called upon to give
their services in examination of the
men as to their physical condition. 1t
is also planned to obviate much work
found to be unnecessary in this. In
presenting themselves to the physician
men found to be obviously unqualified
will be rejected. In cases where there
might be some question of a mans
physical fitness he will be placed in
the hands of an expert.
Lawyers must give their services to
the men in advising as to the legal
rights in exemption claims, etc. 1t is
left to the members of the advisory
boards to organize for the work,
which must all be free to tie men OF
the draft.
Adjutant General carp said today
that the new rules would apply only
to those taken hereafter in the draft,
and he positively could not reopen
cases coming under the old rules. 1t
is expected the next draft would be
called about December Is. Under the
new plans it is expected that the work
will be much easier.

Investigation shows that all the
American telephone wires between the
observation posts and trenches and
batteries at the rear were cut by
fragments of German shells which
numbered approximately fifty thou
sand. The Germans crossing No Mans
land rolled up these wires behind
them and set up small field tele-
phone exchange outside the American
barbed wire with branch lines running
to at least three points while the raid
was in progress to direct the enemy
artillery.
