troops took 100 hundred Germans
prisoner and captured SIX machine
guns during a fight which ended in
the capture of a hill in this district.
AT the southwest of the extremity
of Lake Sventen our troops again have
made Roadway. The enemy attacked a
second time. but without success, the
trenches which we lost recently at this
point.
In the Smorgen district the enemy
artillery has developed a violent fire
in some places. Southwest Of Pinsk
in the region of the right bank Of the

village OF Novo Podcherevitchi, lying
en- the left bank of the Styr, remained
in our hands after a series Of engage

appear very big when compared with the
present military budgets of other ma
ions. The Netherlands. however, make
only very small spot on the map and
the addition for this purpose of s3.3eo.oo
TO the already existing expenses of its
100000 inhabitants is regarded as con-
siderable further burden.
One of the principal points of OBJ
lection by the Dutch public against the
newly-proposed taxes is that concern
ing the impost on railroad tickets. In
this proposition the Dutch government
has, knowingly or not, followed the
example of Germany, where railroad
travellers are taxed proportionately to
the class in which they travel. The
proposed tax here amounts TO fifteen
per cent. on the price of first-class tick
cts. eight on second and three on third
Laborers' commUtftion tickets and
schoolchildrens tickets are to escape
taxation.
Another point has aroused discussion
everywhere-namely. the tax on front
names--for the Dutch are prone to bur
den their children with from four to
six names. A glance al any Dutch
directory brings to light many instances
of family names being preceded some
times by nearly half the alphabet.
However, the tax is evidently not to be
very heavy, as the total amount it is
expected to bring in is only about
$200 00o
Distilled liquors. tobacco OF all KINDS,
beer, salt. sugar and playing cards are
all to provide their share toward the
increased government outlay, which, in
consequence OF the recent issue of loans,
promises even TO augment with the
coming years. as the interest amounts
to a large sum.
