DAYS DEVELOPMENTS IN EUROPEAN WAR


 The official statements give little in- formation
 Apparently only along the French right wing in France have the op- posing troops shown activity during the last 24 hours. The French report the occupation of Lesmenils and one of the signal stations at Xon on the right bank of the Moselle Likewise in the Vosges the French have taken an observation point previously held by the Germans.
 In Poland the Germans, having ex- tricated themselves from difficult and menacing position, are now di- recting their efforts against the Rus sian army, which failed few days ago to encompass the invaders. The Petrograd view is that the Warsaw campaign of the Germans appears to have resolved itself into a persistent and dogged grinding against the Rus sian center with the aid of the recent ly arrived heavy endorsements"

According to reports emanating
from London and Amsterdam, Count
Helmuth Won Moltke. chief Of the
German general staff. has been upper
seeded by General Voigts Rhetz. While
Won Moltke is q well known military
figure, VOigts-R hetz may. be described
as a dark horse. Almost nothing is
known Of him.
His father was a great soldier,
who rose to high rank in the ministry
Of war and commanded q division in
the FrancO-Prussian war. He died in
1877 and had an infantry regiment
named after him.
It remains to be seen whether the
new chief Of STAFF has inherited his
fathers ability and whether he 10 q
better man than the one he is report
ed to have displaced.
Commenting on the report that Won
Meltke has been superseded by VoiRts-
Rhetz, the military expert Of the Lon
don Standard says:
It Is reported That the chief Of
the German general stan. General
Count o Moltke. nephew OF the
great man OF that name. has been

STATE SCHOOLS
Start MANDAMUS
Would Prevent Loss of
$4,000 From Previous
Yearly Income.

Mandamus proceedings instituted by
the educational institutions Of the
state to compel the board Of eQuali-
xation to assess the full amount Of
taxes for their support will be heard
Monday afternoon before the supreme
court al Bismarck.
For several ear past the schools
Of the state have been receiving the
proceeds of q LIPS mill tax. This
year the tax has been cut down to .76
mills which means a loss of approx
mately 100000 to the institutions
affected.
The state constitution provides that
not more than four mills may be
levied as q tax. At the recent meet
ing Of the board Of equalization, a tax
OF three mills was levied for general
purposes. This leaves only n mill
to be levied for the upport Of the
educational institutions and other
special purposes.
The board contends that the con-
etitution forbids it to make a higher
levy. and that the general taxes take
priority owe others. The educational
institutions contend on the other hand
that the board should not nave pro-
vided for special appropriations by
the 1915 legislature while the special
1evies were not paid In full.
There is also a possibility that the
constitutional limit OF four mills does
not apply to levies made to support
state Institutions.
The cas- will be argued Monday
before the state supreme court.
