 Generous Shore Leave.
 The American boats were ready for duty the minute they arrived. This was something of a pleasant surprise for the British naval men. It had been expected that some time would be necessary for certain installations and fittings, but the Americans had ev- erything in readiness and were at once assigned 10 work.
 Shore leave is generous on the American ships and the American sail or is constantly in evidence in this village, in the countryside roundabout and in a nearby city, where more met in the restricted limits of this little place. The people of the towns have taken the American sailor and his strangely spendthrift ways right into their arms. The American sailor seems always to have money, which is not so strange when it is considered that his rate of pay is considerably higher than that of the British tar.
 "The American gets a dollar every time we get a shilling" is a common among the admiring Brit ish seaman. One of the American sail or's favorite ways of showing his op- ulence is his habit of always travelling as first class. The extra cost is only 2 few pence but the unheard of idea class strikes the populace as a start ling and audacious maneuver worthy he best traditions of American travel PTS.
 Graves Are Decorated.
 Local tradesmen who expected to ind the visitor an easy mark soon earned their mistake, however, for he s seldom fooled twice and quickly earns to demand value for his money. Tea time in the village now has an American flavor. In all the little inns nd shos and farther afield. even well nto the wonderfully green country idle and along the cliffs, which re- hind the seaman of the palisades long the Hudson anchorages, one lay find any afternoon groups of Brit ;h and American sailors drinking leir tea and swapping yarns in true eamanly fashion. The American uickly acclimates himself to the af- ,rnoon tea habit and finds it an am lble and satisfactory substitute for ther things, with plenty of opportun- v for confidential chats with his new llies on a thousand and one sub cts which his active mind has been lrning over since his arrival here.
 There are other places where ne Iany almost always find groups of lue- e-ujniformed Americans. One IS le local cemtery in a green wood atop le cliffs, where are buried many vic ms of the German submarines hose graves are kept green by the sitors.

CORPORATIONS PAY MORE
THAN 100000 TO State
New Assessment Is Largest in Entire
History Of This Common
wealth..
WILSON MAKES COMPILATION
Increase Said to BE Largely Duo to
Efforts Of City Attorney Pollard to
Secure Revision Of Assessment Of
Real Estate Owned by Railroads.

For the first time in the history OF
the Commonwealth the public service
corporations Will pay into the Vir-
Einta Treasury i'm taxes more than
s2,ooo'ooo. according to figures an.
nounced yesterday by the State Cor
poration Commission, which are based
on the now 1917 assessments.
In 1916 the railroads and other pub
lie service concerns paid S1.971,474.59
In taxes to the State. and for this
year they will pay grand total of
S2.125.427.55. or an increase for 1917
of S153.952.e6 over the previous twelve
months.
The figures. which were compiled and
tabulated by Richard T. Wilson, clerk
OF tho Corporation Commission. are as
OF June 80. 1917. and the accompany
Ing table which he has prepared gives
comprehensive idea OF the increased
assessments.
increase in the assessments is be-
lieved to be due IN no small measure
to the aggressive action OF the city
OF Richmond, through City Attorney
il. r. Pollard, whose lead was fol-
lowed by other Virginia cities. which
appealed from tho original assessment
or railroad property owned in the city.
This action. which was taken in the
Circuit Court OF Richmond. resulted in
an increased valuation being placed
on much railroad property in this city.
as we'll as in other cities and com
munities. That this and other cities
were prepared to make out strong
cases on their petitions for reasscss-
ment. was made manifest by the &C
ton OF counsel for the railroads in
agreeing to enter into compromise.
which the Cit! Council agreed to &C :
ccpt.
While the city was actuated purely
by selfish motives in asking for in
creased assessments. the success at
tending tho efforts OF the City At,or-
ney not only rebound to the benefit
