The following editorial appeared in
the New Yorker Staats-Zeitung to-
day:
THE BEST SHIELD 1S-A BLOW.
THE Germans have taken the ag-
gressive against France as well as
Russia The Germans have garri-
soned certain places in Russian Po-
land and, according to an official
cable from Paris, they have invaded
France at Grey and are advancing
upon Nancy. At the same time they
have invaded Luxembourg and are try
ing to force Belgium into an alliance
in order to be in a position to begin
operations from the north against
France.
THAT is the Luxembourg hole
against which as far back as year
ago France was warned by one of its
most distinguished strategists. The
occupation of the grand duchy which
had heretofore played an important
role in the relations between Prussia
and France, has brought all hypo-
critics and Pharisees to their feet.
What, then, could Germany have
done? Wait until France had taken
the initiative? Or until British bat
talions passed through Belgium? For
the whole world, even the modern
hypocrites and Pharisees, as far as
they have any knowledge of the stu
alton at all, know perfectly well that
the Luxembourg and Belgian problem
in the event of war, would be solved
by the nation soonest ready. And
once more it was Germany that was
first to be ready.
Nowadays everybody will admit
that in these conflicts of peoples in
which rivers of blood are shed and
enormous values are necessarily des-
aroyed, the value of paper agree

ably Lower.

The total valuation of the county
ratables, as submitted to the Essex
County Board of Taxation today,
shows an increase of So, 4SO,027 over
the county ratables for 1913. The as
SCISSORS in the various municipalities
submitted their figures to the county
tax board today.
Assessors in Newark, Irvington and
Caldwell Borough were given a three
days extension. The figures given for
these municipalities are estimated.
Although the various municipal
budgets have not yet been received
by the county, the valuation figures
indicate that the tax rate this year
will be lower
The total valuation of the ratables
this year is fixed at approximately
$624,51S,S49, including the estimated
valuations of Newark, Irvington and
Caldwell. This figure does not in
clude the valuation of second-class
railroad property, which is fixed by
the State Board of Assessors.
This valuation amounts to $4,565,-
344. This amount with the county
assessors valuation brings the total
ratables up to S629, csc, 1913. The largest
amount OF increases are found III
Irvington, Montclair, and East Or
ange.
In Milburn there is a decrease Of
$50, 176, and in Roseland borough the
decrease in valuation amounts to

year were $S6,090 lower than in
1912. This increase this year
over last years ratables outside the
county amounts to $S,19i174, which
includes the estimated figures.
The returns from the bank stock
tax will be deducted from the coun-
ty budget in fixing the county rate.
The county's share of these returns
amounts to $4,000.
