JoFFRE HAS STRONG FORCE
ny J. L. GARvIS,

Editor Of the Pail Mall Gazette Of
London.
London, Sept. 1.-THE oficial news
entirely confirms the view we took last
Tuesday that the whole German front
on the Aisne is in several respects
far stronger than their former lines
IN the Valley of the Marne.
There are few changes reported. The
German center reaches to viIle-Sur-
Toureb, a small place forty miles east
Of Rheims. but still further east the
Germans have had to abandon Va
rennes.
In this region on the northern edge
of the Argonne the French in heavy
force are still steadily pushing their
very dangerous advance, which, IL sue
cessful, will cut OF the crown prince
army from the bulk OF the invading
forces and compel the other armies to
fall back faster than ever.
StruEEIs to BE Very DIOody.
Before that happens, there will be a
very bloody and sullen struggle. On
the other hand the still more vulner-
able wing of Gen. Won Kluk is more
and more threatened with enYelop-
ment. In the direction of ST, Quentin
he has been heavily REINFORCED, no
doubt by the German troops who have
evacuated Amiens, by an army corps
from Belgium and by German reserv-
lists hurrying from Aachen through
Lege to the scene OF battle.
Upon the other hand Gen. Joffre evil
IDENTIFY is a mastery soldier of the rail-
way age. He has now at his back dou-
BILE and triple systems, with cross lines
which bend around the German right

endorsements will probably enable him
to cope fully with any increase in Ger
man numbers
Success to Entail Heavy Losses.
The allies we repeat have to go very
deliberately about their work and they
will in any case have to pay the full
price for success.
Our opinion is unchanged that their
prospects are good and that triumph on
the part Of the battle grounds would be
more decisive in every way than victory
in the valley OF the Marne
The Germans In every direction are
clearly getting ready for a war Of re-
sIstanee, II their war for domination
definitely fails. Their corps in North Bel
GUM is still stronger than King Albert's
forces and they are pressing nearer Ant
werp as II to menace its Notifications,
That such an attempt may be seriously
intended is quite possible.
May Play Critical Part.
It will at least be Of life and death i'm
portance to the invaders In case Won
Kluck and Won BueloW want to make the
speediest possible retreat through the
country between Brussels and Namur to
keep the Belgisns penned up between
Antwerp and Termonde.
1t is certain that the low countries will
again have to play critical part, per-
haps no less critical than in the days of
Families and Waterloo. 1t would not be
surprising, however, II Germany were
compelled within a very few weeks to
make her main effort on the eastern from
tier and to stand on the defensive in the
west

TO SAVE 40 PER
CENT. IN TOTAL
OF ASSESSMENT
State Treasurer Works
On Four Per Cent.
Basis This Year

Boston, July ga saving of approxi-
mately 40 per cent. in the grand total of
the assessment of the cities and towns of
the state will be made by figuring the
sinking funds this year on a per cent.
basis instead of upon 8 per cent. rate,
according TO report of Frederick w.
Mansfield, the state treasurer, which was
made public tonight. Mr.. Mansfield said
in part. "For years our sinking funds
have earned much more than per cent,
but former state treasurers have never
theless persisted in the practice of com
putting them as though they were earning
only per cent. The result of this policy
has been that the metropolitan cities and
towns have been forced TO pay each year
larger sums than was necessary or justi-
fable and the unjust oVer-taxation tends
to fill up the sinking funds prematurely.
In other words, the present generation
is bearing the burden of an unjust super
tax, part of which should be so appFopri-
ated as to fall upon others to come after
us.
This year the sinking funds will be
figured on a per cent. basis and not
upon the per cent rate which has OBJ
tanned for so many years. The money
saved to the various cities and towns by
this change of basis in figuring is sur
prisngiy large. IN some cases amounting
to a saving of almost one-half of what
the assessment would have been under
the per cent. rate. The grand total
shows a saving of approximately 40 per
cent"

COLLISION OF A
STEAMER AND SCH'R

Vineyard Haven, Mass. July "a
During trick fog in Vineyard sound
today, the British steamer Rossano,
Boston for Astoria, n. Y, collided
with the schooner Cora F. Cressey,
Norfolk for Portland, off Quick's Hole.
Fortunately, the steamer, in charge of
Coast Pilot O'Brien, heard the sehoon-
er's signals In time and just as the
coaster glided across her bows, before
a moderate southwest wind, the steam
er's engines were reversed and she
struck the sailing vessel only a glanc-
ing blow on the port side Of the miz-
zen rigging.
Considerable damage was done to
the huh of the Cressy, but the blow
did not break through the planking,
and she does not leak. Her mizzen and
spanker sails were badly torn and
small boat was demolished.
The steamer was but little injured.
On board the Cressy were the young
daughter of Capt. Frost and a girl
friend, together with young man
who boarded the schooner at Portland
as passenger,
Both vessels anchored until the fog
lifted, when the Rossano towed the
disabled schooner here and later pro-
ceeded to Astoria to finish dischargina
her cargo of mahogany. The Grassy
proba bly, will be towed to her destina-
/ ton.

WILL DISMISS
DESERTERS And
NOT IMpRIS0N
Them AS BEFORE
Announcement Sunday
By Sec'y Daniels of
The Navy

Washington, July 26.-Abolition of
Imprisonment for desertion from the
navy in times of peace was announced
today by Secretary Daniels. Under the
new regulations, hluejackets who over
stay their leave or commit similar
breaches of discipline will be dismissed
instead of. being given a term of i'm
prisonment.
The secretary recognizes that the
navy is in time of peace a very large
business organization, that any feel
ing of compulsory detention or bond
age on the part of the enlisted force
is undesirable, that the service offers
so many advantages, especially to
those desiring to make of it life work
or secure practical education. that
it can be kept fully recruited with
men that are willing to remain and
the department, therefore holds that
overstayed leave, drunkenness on
shore and similar offences indicate
merely that the offender is unfit for
the service.
I'm order not to be too drastic, the or
der permits commanding officers in their
discretion to hold first offender on pro-
baton on reduced pay for periods of
from six to u months. but on repetition
of the offence he is summarily discharg-
ed.
1.-The naval prisons and disciplinary
barracks last year cost about sl,0oo,o0o.
Under the new plan this cost would be
greatly reduced and before a very great
while will be very small.
