The Great War---1O6Oth Day

Riamopt Wood and held il against q
concentrated machine-gun IRE. ms
SUCCESS was later extended over a mile
and half front.
Five of last nights British raids ap-
parently were carried out on large
scale, as Haig's report contrasts tnem
with minor operations conducted a.
other points. Many Germans are said
"a have been killed in thrusting ad-
vances near Epehy, Bullecourt, Roeux'
Loos and Hooge, while others were
taken prisoner. Northeast OF YER
melles. between Lens and Armentieres,
the British entered the hostile trenches
and remained there two hours, blowing
up the dugouts and destroying the de-
fences.
British Gain in Flanders
Northwest of Warneton, on the,
Flanders front, the British also gained
ground. Berlin declares the British al
tacks were repulsed. especially the
strong forces advancing after nightfalI
near Hulluch.
On the Aisne front the French virtu-
ally have reestablished their line below
Vauxaillon, where IL was denied by
forces of the Crown Prince last week.
The Germans describe futile" French
attack there yesterday, when advancing
waves Of troops were badly cut up by
shell fire. Paris reports that two Ger
man surprise attacks east Of Chevreux
at the other end of the Chemin-des-
Danes, were repealed easily.
To-day the German batteries again
dropped 1900 shells on Rheims. This
has been the enemy's average daily
tribute ever since a French offensive
in the Champagne was anticipated by
Hindenburg.

This City Must Aid.
TUlSANS GIVE UP BUSINESS
After Conference at Wichita
Local Capitalists Return
to Do Their BIT"

Tulsa is to be asked to contribut,
not less than 100000 to the $780,
100000 Red Cross fund that is to be
the objective OF sweeping nation
wide campaign which will be held in
the United States during the week
of June Is to 20. according to g.
Roger Kemp. vice-president of the
sinclair oil Il Gas Co.. who has Just
returned from Red Cross meeting
held at Wichita, Kan, where methods
10 pursue In the campaign for the
tremendous fund were discussed by
some of the country's greatest busi-
ness heads
When seen last night MIR Kemp
stated that he did not know what
amount the national Red Cross off
GERS would ask Tulsa to subscribe,
hdt that he and others of the city who
have taken an active part in the
work wouid not he satisfied with an
amount less than 100000
Kemp Enthusiastic.
Following the Wichita meeting. Mr..
Kemp expressed great enthusiasm
over the work and stated he would
desert his business during the time
this campaign is in progress and that
other influential business men of tho
city viii in all PROBABILITY give the
Red Cross campaign a great part OF
their time.
I'm echo Of last weeks conference
held In the Kansas city is to be heard
in Tulsa some time during the pres
ent week, when II is expected w. j..
Leffert, director general of the south
ern district of the Red Cross society.
viii appear to deliver an address and
otherwise aid the local chapter in its
work in preparing for the vigorous
campaign that Is to be waged.
In Wichita Mr.. Leffert delivered
an interesting address, during which
he pointed out that in Germany, s00,-
GOO Red Cross nurses and $4,000 ann
bulance drivers had been recruited
ana trained before the war began.
Probably no Red Cross meeting in
the southwest has been graced by the
presence of as many celebrities as the
one that was brought to "A close in
Wichita Saturday evening and II is
believed more, enthusiasm has been
aroused by the conference than by
any other event that has been staged
in this section of the nation.

BRITISH HEADQUARTERS IN
FRANCE, via London, June 10. -
G2:55 a. m. 1.-The manner in which
the British flying corps dominated
the air during the battles of Messines
ridge on Thursday and completely
smothered the German aviation
service for the time being is one Of
the most remarkable stories Of the
entire war.
Hundreds OF British planes were
well behind the German lines when
the battle broke into its fury a.
dawn. They had stolen over during
the darker intervals of the brief night
when the moon was hidden by. storm
clouds. Other hundreds went aloft
with the first streaks of coming day
and guided by the flashes OF guns
flew into the thick of the fighting.
During the night British machines
bombed enemy railway stations,
trains, ammunition dumps and troops
coming up on the march. Others
hovered above German airdromes
and circled low among airplane sheds
and fired hundreds Of rounds from
machine guns into them and prevent
ed the enemy machines from coming
out. Later in the day. while the
fighting was most intense, British
airmen dropped about three tons of
bombs on the German flying grounds
as a further deterrent. which proved
highly effective
In addition to shutting the German
airmen out OF any early participation
in the battle, the British airplanes
were in q large degree responsible for
the fact that the Germans could not
la/lch counterattack of appreciable
strength until forty hours after the
baltic for the ridge began and every
bit OF ground desired by the British
In this particular operation had been
taken and secured.
Far back of the German lines the
British planes searched out troops in
every hamlet. town and village. In
