INTERESTING MILITARY
OPERATIONS IN TROUvlLLE
(By Associated Press. }


Trouville, France, Sept. 1.-THE
horse show, horse races and other
social attractions which have
brought the elite of society here at
this season every year are lacking,
but the famous resort is still lively
with a throng on the broadwalk that
is made up largely of convalescent
soldiers and their nurses. Some Of
the biggest hotels are hospitals,
some of the elegant villas also, but
there are enough children to pre-
vent the beach from being sub
merged in gloom.
The sands of Trouville are also
the scene of interesting military op
erations. All along the beach from
Deauville to Trouville there is an al
most uninterrupted series of trench
es built by the contingents of 1890
to 1885, now in their fifth to tenth
year, who are working under the di-
rection of convalescent soldiers.
Bathers are obliged to give the coun-
ter-sign in order to pass, and then
they are distinctly informed it is
al their own risk and peril for there
are labyrinths everywhere in imita
tion of those at the front If high
west wind fills the trenches with sea
water, recalling the winter campaign
along the User. it heightcns the ior
OF the five to ten-year old "poilus'
who jump into them In their bathing
suits and make more noise than ever.

WAR SURPRISES
DUELuNG IN HUNGARY
(By Associated Press. }

Budapest. Hungary, Sept. H.
In suppression of the duelling mania
in Hungary the war has accom-
plished more in six months than the
law had been able to do in twenty
years. Up to year ago it seemed
that nothing could be done to stop
duelling. Notwithstanding all legal
prohibitions, such an important per-
sonage as the minister, president,
Count Stephen Tisza, continued
fighting duels, having had a dozen
to his credit, six of them during his
term of office, and openly defying all
the penalties threatened by law.
In the first six months of the war,
the change was SO marked that few
er duels were fought during that pc
riod than had ordinarily taken place
in single yeek before. Since last
spring not single case of duelling
has been reported, in contrast with
the fact that during one week in
JULY 1914, fiftyfour duels were re-
corded in Budapest alone.
How public opinion has changed
OH this question of duelling is shown
in a document recently published in
the Hungarian papers. A provincial
lawyer made some disparaging re-
marks about the army in the pres
ence of wounded officer, who re-
sented his conduct in very sharp
language. The lawyer sent a chal-
lenee but the seconds met and drew
up document setting forth that an
officer ready to sacrifice his life for
his country was not obliged to give
the so-called satisfaction" and that
in the present war the life of every
soldier, and of every civilian, was
too precious to be risked in duelling.
The Anti-Duelling League which
has long existed in Hungary, eN-
presses he hope that this evil has
been overcome, not only for war
times but also in peace.

there are no ships in the river await

coneestion difficulty, which not
many weeks ago was holding up

the strenuous efforts of the harbor

made for the forthcoming cotton

PAWN SHOP BUSINESS IN
GERMANY ON THE WANE
BY Associated Press

Leipzig, Germany Sept. II One
OF the curious effects OF The war has
heen to reduce tho number of loans
made by the poor of the city at the
municipal pawn establishment, and
to increase the number of redcmp-
lions of property already pawned.
The explanation is that most Of
the loans, in peace time, are made
hy women; that most of the women
are the wives of men now in the
field; and that never in peace time
have these women had as large an
income as they do now that most
OF their husbands earnings come to
them to supplement what they them
selves can make.
In the twelve months just pre-
ceding the war the municipal pawn
shop made approximately 10000
leans on articles ranging from
silver headed canes to babies shoes.
| The exact number for the past IL
piled, but the director of the estab-
| lishment is authority for the state
ment that the number probably Will
run closer to 100000. Incidentally
/ the money loaned will not, either
reach the figures Of the year before.
The usual rate of redemption, in
normal, peace times, is astonishingly
high as pawn shops go. With nor
nal of almost a quarter of million
loans year, it is seldom that more
than 10000 articles have to be
auctioned off Thenumber usually
runs between 5000 and $4,000.
This year it will be still smaller be-
cause of the increased number of re
demptions.
Leipzlg's loan establishment is
luge affair, and is conducted alont
much the same lines as a few insti
tutions in America that make ;
speciality of encouraging redemp
tions by advancing little, and b!
charq ing a low rate of interest. Tn
city of Leipzig, however, incor
porates a new feature by chargin;
l12 Der cent year, and then by re
turning to the borrower everything
above the interest charges that ma
be procured by auctioning off tn
pledge when it has not been redeem
ed.
, Women are by far the most fire
quent customers, and rarely one
anything of great value. A pros
/. porous loan establishment woul
, scoff at the watches a nd jewelr
! that find their way to the municipa
2 "pawnshop" and would refuse to at
: cept the clothing, even bedding an
| household utensils, that are offered
5 That they are taken by the city
e establishment is one of its virtue
4 for with them many needy perso
G can get temporary relief that sh
could not obtain elsewhere.
The haggling, arguing methods
o the private loan Office are noticeabl
e by their absence in the Yorkpla'
{ establishment. The women enter .

Warning To Sussex County People.

The Sussex County Board of Assess
ment has learned that many people are
simply making a copy of the old assess
ment lists as to the report of values Of
property owned or controlled by them,
on the blank forms sent out from this
office for them to fill out.
| We hereby give warning to one and
all, that this is contrary to the law, and
that we purpose to enforce the law as
made and provided
In any instance where the property
owner has made a false return by copy
ing the old assessment figures. and where
that has been done upon the advice of
another we shall prosecute such cases
for the purpose of enforcing respect for
the law.
We have several cases of this kind in
several Representative Districts, which
were made for the purpose of evading
taxation, and the Board of Assessment
without fear or favor, will prosecute
these cases in open court but, if there
is even one of these who desires to re-
call his statement already forwarded,
and submit another statement with a
correct valuation return to substitute in
nlace of the one now filed, he may do |
so. and the Board of Assessment will
forward new blanks to his address, by /
such party making written application
for them.
The Board of Assessment desires to
impress upon all the people that their
work will be performed according to
law, and that any willful attempt to de-
fraud the county by under-valuation,
will be punished as the law provides
through the courts.
