ANOTHER RELIEF ON
THE AMERICAN SECTOR
Is Accomplished Without the
knowledge of the Enemy
Forces.

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY
IN FRANCE, Nov. 22.-AnOther re-
lief has taken place Oh the American
sector. 1t was accomplished success
fully and without the knowledge OF
the enemy. Artillery activity contin-
ues normal, with the usual patroll-
ing.
The troops to be relieved left
their positions in small groups over
a certain period Of time. After all
were out they were taken on trucks
to their billets, which We're reached
at night time during a raid. The
relieved units were in good health
and in good spirits. The only COM
plant heard was that they had not
had enough action.

GRAND FLEET Of TANKS
EMPLOYED IN ADVANCE

Slight.

London, Nov. 23.-Nothing has
been announced here officially or UNI
officially concerning the number Of
machines constituting what the cor
respondents describe as the "grand

parently has been greater than in
any one previous action. Casualties,
of course, were inevitable in an OPP
Grafton of such a scale, but the spe-
cial dispatches agree that they are
not great. Some even describe the
tank losses as slight.
One writer SAYS "that number

German big guns. Another says that
some were overturned bv shell fire

New York, Nov. 22.-Many pros
porous German business and profess
sional men in New York will be
forced into retirement as a result Of
President Wilson's proclamation for
bidding enemy aliens to approach

he was told that any man who had
been long enough in this country to
own six saloons and failed to become
a citizen Of the United States deserv-
ed to lose all he had. He will have
to turn over his business to an Amer

Other German business men with

NEW TAX LAW.

Gov. Stanley called the Legisla-
ture to meet last February for the
purpose Of revising our revenue law
so as to produce more money for
State purposes, encourage those with
property to list same for taxation,
thus trying to equalize the payment
Of taxes. With this purpose in view
tax commission had been appointed.
They made recommendation to the
body of lawmakers and as result of
all efforts we have a law the most
inequitable ever placed upon our
statutes. Here is the workings Of
this modern law:
"a" buys a farm from "B," pay
ing therefor $4,000. Cash payment
$500, and notes for $500. On this
$4,000 worth of land listed ct. say,
Sl.50O, a. pays tax on the 500 Of
taxable property as follows: State
40c, county general fund 25c, county
road and bridge fund 25c, county
road bond zoe, county school fund
zoe. Total tax rate $1.35, making n
total tax paid by "A" of $3.50.
"B" deposits his $500 in bank and
the bank pays for him to tho State
on it the sum of so cents. He list
his notes, say at $1,000, upon which
he pays the State 40 cents per hun

AMBNaGANS EAGER
TO FIGHT GERMANS
WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY
IN FRANCE, Nov. 22.--The detaclf-
ments of the American army which
have just returned from a tour of
duty in the front line trenches were
badly in need Of shavcs when they
arrived at their billets. Upon many
faces boards had made q good start,
and although the soldiers cared lit
tie about their appearance while in
the trenches. their first thought on
getting out was to procure razors.
The American soldiers are ready
to swear by the new caps they wear
under their shrapnel helmets. Most
Of then removed their helmets as
soon as hey were out of the fire
zone, and officers remarked that the
caps greatly improved the appear
ance of the soldiers. The men wear
them eSslxed smartiv over one ear.
Each cap has little regimental nu-
neral near the front.
Troops belonging to units which
have seen more action than the 9TH
ers had stories to tell, and the less
lucky comrades, as they call them
selves, listened attentively during the
long ride on the trucks on the return
TO the billets. Most Of the motor
trains arrived Mt the billet towns af-
ter nightfall The soldiers We're dis
missed promptly, but each took
bath before he went to sleep.
Tho officers all spoke enthusiast
tically of the morale, energy and
fighting spirit of their men. One
said that his hardest job in the
trenches was refusing permission TO
go on patrol, adding:
"All want to go all the time, which
is impossible"

THE FIRST BATTLE OF YPRES

It was Just instinct which
prompted the Times to suggest that
there should be a ceremonial recog-
milton of Wednesday, October 81, the
anniversary of the critical day in
! the First Battle Of Ypres. We have
no doubt that this recognition will
grow, and that in year to come Octo-
Der 81. 1914, will be marked in let
tcrs Of red as one Of the sacred days
in the history of the British empire
and Of civilization. Already il is
fair TO say that the FIRST Battle Of
Yprcs was one Of the decisive bat
ties" Of the world. In this battle
about q hundred thousand British
soldiers were opposed to an cnor-
mously superior German army bent
on reaching Calais, capturing the
ports, and occupying the whole Of
Northern France. Between Lille and
the sea the Germans had massed
a5ost three-uarters o. a million men.

whether this be time or not. the
number of their guns and the amount
Of ammunition they used were out of

critical moments oe the battle oc-

the afternoon Of October 81, 1914.
The first division were holding tho

dred making $3.50 he pays to the

just what line of reasoning Undue
ed these Lawmakers to let man
with land and certain character of
personal property pay the entire ex-
pense Of county government and
those whose wealth is composed OF
money, notes, bonds, ETC., enjoy the
benefits of local conditions, good
roads, school, ETC., and not contribute
toward their support, is not within
our understanding.
Further, follow this matter into
the small towns, within graded

more heinOus: "a" owns a town lot
he pays in addition to the $50 tax
rate above mentioned, an additional
school tax Of about 80 cents, n city
tax of 50 cents. making him pay .
rate Of 500 on the 800 Of taxable
property, while "B," who lives in
the same town with the money and
