in great force, says La Liberties cor
respondent with the French armies.
1t appears to have been concerted to
colncide with Won Berhmann-H Holl-
weg's note, probably with view to
impressing the French by a local sue
cess.
The Germans brought together
about 10000 men from the best divi-
sions," adds the correspondent, land
concentrated corresponding quanti-
ties of artillery. The attack was pre-
ceded by an intense bombardment
lasting for hours.
1.-THE French were not taken by sur
prise and received the assaulting
waves with fire from their three
inch guns and machine guns, tearing
the ranks terribly. A barrier fire
thrown to the rear of the Germans
caught the supporting reserves.
"The Germans reached the French
trenches over frontage of 200 yards,
but an immediate counter attack en-
abled the French to regain the trench
es. Only few survivors of the at
tacking columns escaped. Most of
them were killed after stubborn resis-
tance.
THE Germans renewed the assault
an hour later without success. The
French heavy guns dispersed the re-

Since November ushered in the eli;

|TO ENFORCE PAYMENT
No Effort Has Been Made Hereto
fore to Collect Delinquent Taxes,
and No Bills Sent Out.

Back poll taxes, amounting to 3d.
100000, are due the State, according
to official figures, and it is likely that
the judges of the several judicial cir,
cults in Virginia will be asked to ap-
point special commissioners to force
payment. Such money as maybe col
lected will be divided between tbs
State and county treasures the State
retaining two-thirds. Added to the
taxes due will be the penalty provid-
ed by law, this penalty holding good
under the new act passed by the Le-
rislature to facilitate collections. The
collector receives 20 per cent of the
amount collected. In few if any in
stances has the delinquent been serv.
cd with any form of notice. and many
do not know that they are so listed
Beginning with the year 1908, wher
the new constitution was made opera
tive, the delinquent capitation taxes
reported aggregated S206,575.35, By
the end of the year 1914, the last year
for which complete reports are at
hand, the delinquent list had jumped
to S27s.09S.72. Interest on this sum
for 13 years would increase it con-
sidcrably, and there is every reason
to believe that the average increase
in delinquents for the last severa
years has been maintained to date, in
which case the aggregate due the
State will be even greater than men,
toned
Richmond has taken the initiative
and named collector to go after de-
linquents and force payment of back
taxes by "due process Of law which
means to the taxpayer the cost of a
court summons the serving of the
summons, the penalty of the taxes and
other costs which will be about SO in
each case. The law directs that the
judges in each county and city shall
name collector to force payment of
nast Ire Ives
Country people pay their poll tax
es more readily than the city people,
the records show, Auditor c. Lee
Moore reports that the delinquents in
the counties are 25 per cent, while in
the cities the delinquents reach IS
(these figures being for tn whitesi !:
the colored voters arc delinquent in
