 lectmen shall make up list of esti-
 mated expenditures for the coming
 year, and that the tax rate shall be
 determined from this list, as the tax
 which is to be laid. shall net enough
 money to pay the expenses of the town, less what is derived from other
 sources. If the tax is not sufficient. the deficit is to be placed on the next
 years budget
 The grand list of the town of Wind
 ham is approximately s15,oOO, ,000 and receipts from other than the state tax are about 5000 The budget as pre- pared by the selectmen estimates the expenditures as about $170,000, leav- ing $105, ,000 to. be raised by the tax. A seven mill tax will bring in about that sum.
 A seven mill tax was levied last year, but this rate, if used this year

years are being taken into the British armies. even men who have families.
 The British subjects between 21 and 31 who have become declalants here within the past few weeks can enlist now in the United States service and make certain of escaping from being taken across the border into Canada, where recruits for the British armies are being sent.
 The situation as it is shaping itself presents a difficult proposition for numbers of British subjects in eastern Windham county. Very few among the men who are so vitally interested are endeavoring to escape military service, but most of them want to fight for Uncle Sam, getting, of course, the classifications granted here to men with dependents.
 1t is, of course. held against them by both the United States and British governments that cheir choice should
 have been officially recorded long ago. Britain has been in the war for more than three and a half years, the Unit l ed States for. nearly a year. Even within the past year, the governments 1 hold, the men have had ample time to | line up squarely behind one govern
 ment or the other, so far as the risk
 of military service is concerned, and | if they have failed to do so the de-
 cisions that may be made as to what

 It has been suggested here that the l governments concerned will not be harsh with the men, however. ana

WAR DEPARTMENTS
 WEEKLY MILITARY REVIEW.
American Troops Are in the. Trenches at Four Different Points.

Washington, March 10.-Germany's sweep into Russia is described by the war departments weekly military re- view tonight as another futile attempt on the part of the Germans to shift the center of gravity of the war, which still remains on the west front, where the Teutons face the French, British, Italian and Belgian armies and the ever-growing American forces. There, the review says, lie the key positions of the war.
 American troops now occupy trench es at four separate points and as was recently disclosed, in the principal sec tor their front is four and a half miles long. They have been constantly en- gagged, the department says, and the scope of their activities is being con- stantly extended.
 Nothing is found in the situation by the department to indicate that the Germans have abandoned their plans for a great offensive in the west, and it says the allies, while assuming an alert defensive, are content to let the enemy break himself against their i'm preghable line.
 Intense air activities during the week are noted, with the statement that 214 enemy aircraft were brought down on the western front alone, while the allies lost only 8S machines on all fronts during the same period. The enemy loss on all fronts is placed at 273 The review, in part, follows: Tn spite of the fact that 120,o00 square miles of Russian territory have
 been invaded during the past three weeks and the enemy now isssweeping l forward in the heart of Russia. and fx,4 41,tv
 of the capital, nevertheless, the center of gravity of the war remains in the west.
 The Germans have for the past i three and a half years done all in l their power to upset the center of | gravity and shift it eastward. This i explains the successive blows struck l in Russia and later in the Italian the tatre. l Notwithstanding the diversions of l the minor campaigns in Mesopotamia, | Palestine and the Balkan front, the key positions of the war are France | and Flanders. l Here the strategic situation remains relatively constant.
 The enemy is completing the re- distribution of available forces. There are, some new units flowing
 into the lines in the nature of replace
 ments
 Nothing in the situation should lead
 us to estimate. that the. Germans have
 abandoned their plans of major of fensive in the west.
 Considering tactical dispositions we note that the enemy. has developed
 two principal axes of activity, the ons pivoting on Rheims, the other in Al
 sace in front of Luneville.
 ''The allies. while assuming an aler1
 defensive, tre resting content with al.
 lowing the enemy to break theil
 strength of his, assaults against theil
 impregnable line.
 HThe mcraie of the French and Brit.
 iSh forces has never been better. They are keenly anxious to give battle tf
 the enemy, confident of their supe rior1ty.
 Our own forces have been constant. ly engaged. The scope of their ac tivities is being daily extended. Thl number of our attachments in the lin, is increasing. We now have troops il ] the trenches at four separate points.
