ITS REPORT

New York, Sept. 23.-Belated re-
ports from missions established
throughout the world by the Presby-
terian church, made public here to-
day, tell of worldwide conditions I'M
paralleled in the history of church.
There is not spot under the sun, ac-
cording to these reports, where the
European war has failed to strike a
blow at commerce.
The situation in west Africa is crit
ical; Syria is engulfed by utter hope
lessness Persia is in a chaotic con
dition, at least as far as finances are
concerned; missionaries in India are
shut off from outside financial aid
Chile is in pitiable plight because
of the prostration of her industries
and in Guatemala the poor are driven
by hunger to the point of confiscat
ing the foodstuffs of the wealthy
such is the sombre picture of some oi
the mission fields revealed by the
Presbyterian board of foreign mis-
sions. through Rev. w A. Halsey, its

EQUALIZATION BOARD
ORDERS new RAISES
COAL, GRAZING AND AGRICUl.
TURAL LAND VALUES ARE
HIKED UPWARD

Santa Fe. Sept. 23.-After much
thought and deliberation, and many
hearings and conferences with both
taxpayers and county officers, the
state board of equalization yesterday
took final action on the 1914 assess
ment returns.
Although it was figured that $1S,-
600 600 should be added to the assess
ment as returned, yet the board made
raises only to the amount of not
quite $5,OOO,000, mainly on coal, graz
ing and agricultural lands. 1t was
decided to raise certain coal lands
from $50 to $110 per acre and other
coal lands from $3.50 to $45 per acre
Grazing lands were raised from 20 to
80 per cent, each county's returns be
ing taken by themselves and the raise
being made by certain classes, thai
is grazing lands in certain county
returned at 50 an acre were raised
80 per cent, those returned at $25C
in another county were raised 20 pei
cent, while grazing lands in San Juar
county returned at $3.75 were reduced
25 per cent, and thus a thoroughgo
ing attempt at equalization was made
Similarly with agricultural lands
which in such counties as Santa Fe o.
Quay were returned at far below theil
quality or their value.
The board says it has tried to b'
just as fair as its limited powers per
mitted it TO be. 1t relies on the com
| ing legislature to cure defects in tn
assessment and taxation laws tha
have become obvious and also to pre-
vide the means for meeting the nee
essary revenues, by the transfer o
surplus funds or by issuing certif
Gates of Indebtedness or in some othe
manner.

Great Losses in Battle

The battle of the entrenched armies
in France is progressing with great
losses and apparently without any de-
cisive stroke by either side. The ques-
ton which military men here are dis
cussing today is whether the Germans
have definitely assumed the defensive
on the west, or whether the German
general staff regards the retirement
from Paris as a temporary reverse, to
be followed by an attempt at retriev-
inc the lost ground between Perronne
and st. Quentin.
Forces under General Won Kluck,
the commander of the German right
wing, evacuated I'erronne Friday
since which time desperate fighting
has taken place for the possession OF
tho town. The British are reported
as repulsing repeated German attacks
with cost to both sides.
There has been no change in the
last two or three days in the battle
lines along the main front.
On the allies right between the AT
gorne and Metz, the Germans have de
livered an attack over sloping grount
in an attempt to crush the fort o
Troyon, south of Verdun, and thus
break the chain of forts between Yer
dur and Toul.

DR. Mason, according to the Even

geon General Bell of the British ex-
peditionary force in France General
Bell introduced him to the French Of

following facts ais they were told to
him:
when 100000 British under Gen
eral French were attacked by 225,0OO
Germans of General Won Kluck's
at Mons, General French saw that ne
was in a desperate situation.
After the first days fighting and
when the overwhelming forces of the
Germans threatened to surround the
entire British expeditionary force,
General French sent an earnest ap-
peal for aid to the French military
commander of that district. He asked
that 10000 French troops be rushed
to his assistance at once
THE French commander did moi
respond to General French's applica
ton for three days and by that time
the British had managed to cut theii
way out of the German trap by almost
superhuman effort and at a tremen
dous loss. They were in full rerteat
away from Mons when the reinforce
ments arrived
Though General French made cas-
ual mention of the failure of the
French forces to assist him in his of
ficial report designed for publication
he sent more complete report ant
bitter complaint direct to Lord Kitch
ener, saying that the failure of the
French general to answer his pleahaC
put the whole army in jeopardy.

the general complained against by
French. refused to punish him. Then
Kitchener threatened the president oi
France with practical withdrawal Of

the field, unless the general was

President Poincare, eager to make
every concession to Lord Kitchener
called for the resignation of his whole
cabinet, which was disposed to back
up the war minister in opposition tC
Kitchener. This was on August 26
about a week after the battle Of
Mons. A serious crisis in the affairs
of the allies was thus averted and
