EARN Taxes

The tax commission, for which
Governor Byrne's opponents are
criticising him, has caused no OBJ
jectlcns in Hand county, where the
state tax is lower in 1913 that it was
in 1912 As a mater Of fact the
state taxes in a considerable major
ity Of counties is lower Out Of g.
counties in the state, 10 show "A
slight raise in state taxes, and 10
show a decrease. Several of the
Governors opponents have made u :
fair comparisons by claiming tina
the consolidated taxes of some given
county. or farm. were much higher
in 1913 than in 1912 In such case
an examination has disclosed the
fact that the raise was in either
county or school taxes, which are
purely local matters. for WI ich the
state administration is not respon-
sible. In Hand county the state tax
of 1912 was $3.50 per quarter sec
ton. and IN 1918 it was SO 81, a de-
crease OF 81 -
The hysteria with which some
people engage in tolitics often leads
them to misrepresentation, but it is
very doubtful if anything il ever

Hurt In Wreck On I. M. Near
 GuiOn.

] Guion, August 16-Iron Noun tain passenger train No. 210, out of Newport for Joplin, Mo-, wrecked this morning one mile and one-half north of here, as 1t rounded a bend in the White river road at Rock Castle Bluff. The smoker and day coach, mail car, and a special car left the track, and the smoker and day coach turned over and hung on the brink of the bluff, 50 feet above the river. Only five pas sengers were hurt.
 The injured are:
 w. V. Wallis, Calico Rock, in- jured in the back.
 J. il. Bradley, Plummerville, injured leg.
 Charles Miller, Batesville, wrenched arm and hand nearly cut off.
 The wreck was caused suppos- -edly by a broken rail, which the engine and baggage car passed over safely. The mail car struck it first and derailed the rest of the train.
 The passengers escaped from the overturned cars by climbing through the windows. The pas sengers in the day coach were practically all women and child ren, and their terror-stricken cries led those that escaped from the smoker to believe that many were seriously injured. No women or children were hurt.
 Among the passengers on the train were Judge R. c. Love of Moutain Home, member of the State Board of Charities, and J. H. Hand, a newspaper man, and family. J. H. Bradley, whose injury seemed to be most serious, is a salesman of the F. E. Champion Broom Company of Fort Smith, Arkansas, and was

FRENCH ARMY

United Press Dispatch.
 Paris, August 17.-The French army invading Germany is re- ported to be slowly advancing a. long the Alsace-Lorraine line. The two armies clashed all a. gainst determined opposition. The reported dead and wounded reached into the thousands. So far the fighting between the ad- vance guards has been most des- perate. The French cavalry and mountain artillery dominate the Vosges mountains. The French lines are rapidly closing on Saar- . burg. The war office announc- ed that the army invading Lor- raine controls Abresweiler, A. goudance and Salens. There is also heavy fighting along the up- per Alsace. The French are re- ported to be taking the German advance base south of Muelhau- sen. The war office says that the, French shelled the Germans, and then carried them by storm. The hand to hand fighting was fierce but the superior French force routed the Germans, who abandoned several rapid fire guns. The French aviators dropped many bombs in the trenches, which were very ef- fective.

MANHATTAN AROUSED
Crowds of Foreigners Gather In Big City From All Parts of United States.-Many De-
 part for Front.

New York, August 17.-War
 and war alone has gripped New
 York for the past two weeks.
 On the street, in the subway, on
 the Il '-everywhere one hears
 nothing but war talk. It is as if
 Manhattan itself is in the center
 of the great European conflict.
 And New York with it's great
 mixed population is greatly con-
 cerned about the war too. When
 the first news of the then inn pending conflict was published, crowds immediately besieged the consulates of the sinvolved na- tions. Servians, Austrians, Frenchmen, German and En- gishmen flocked to their respec- tive headquarters to get official news of the situation in their native countries. When it be- came apparent that there would be war-and a great war-hun- dreds and thousands there who proclaimed themselves willing even anxious to give their coun-5 try theirs services. s
 New York immediately be- came the meeting place for all the foreign reservists in the United States. From the Southwest and North they came in pairs, in lives and in tens, tWenties and hundreds. They were grim-were these men coming here to depart for their countries to help the fatherland in the titanic struggle now on. They gathered in groups and talked quietly about the situa- tion. Some there were-mostly young men-who paraded and sang patriotic songs. But these were in the minority. The vast part of great armies of reserv- ists who gathered here came quietly and waited quietly and grin1ly until they sailed for dis tant shores where they will probably meet their death.
 It was at the sailing of ships carrying these reservists back to their native countries that the most touching scenes ever witnessed at New York piers were staged. Aged parents, daughters, sweethearts and wives gathered to see their low ed leave-possibly never to re- turn. Many there were who never gave sign of the great grief that was theirs. Others wept and moaned until veteran men-hardened by years of work amid touching scenes-turned away with tears streaming down their faces.
