BIG TAX RAISE
FOR NOORHEAD

The proposed increase in the as
sessed valuation of real estate in the
cities and villages of Clay county
will add $264,668, making the total
valuation $2,372,286. A hearing will
probably be asked as the increases
over the 1916 assessment are con-
sidered excessive. On account of the
changes in the rental value of many
pieces of real estate in Moorhead and
the inability to- obtain insurance on
the structures the assessed valuation
was reduced by the city and county
boards $74,561 from the 1915 total.
The proposed raise is 10 per cent
over. the 1915 assessment making
the total for Moorhead $140,201.
GAINESVILLE city valuation is raised
$77,283; Dilworth village, $30,941;
FELTON, village, $10,24S: Georgetown
village, 5000; Glyndon village, $13,-
480; Hawley village, $40,273, and
Ulen village $20,5O0. The above fig
ures were compiled by County Audi
tor A. o. Houglum.

Forage Supply
Isn i Serious

Bismarck, N. o.. Sept. 27.-Except
in Bottineau county, the forage con-
iitions do not seem to be as bad as
they have been represented. accord
ing to responses which have been
received to questionable sent out
by the railway commission. j. NJ.
Humphreys, Bottineau county farm
ing agent, reports that conditions
there are much the same as they
were last year. so far as feed is con-
cerned: that in no part Of the county
is there surplus while in some
sections feed is so scarce that great
many farmers are selling off their
stock r. ,R. Babcock of Crosby, Di-
vide county farm agent. advises that
the recent rains greatly improved
the hay situation and that 1t will be
necessary for his county to import
very little hay. FL. O.. ScholIander of
Williston, county agent for Williams,
makes a similar report. Not only
have the early fall rains helped to
relieve the hay shortage, but early
frosts have converted into hay many
fields of late grain, which will not
mature and is now being cut for for
age, says Mr.. SchoIlander. IT will be
necessary to ship in very little il.
any hay, says the Williams county
man.

Field Marshal Haig States
That Enemy Is Suffering
Heavy Casualties in Bitter
Battles on the Somnle

LONDON, March 27.-The British
forces are not only offering strong re-
sistance to heavy enemy attacks both
north and south Of the river Somme,
but have carried out numerous counter
attacks during the day. resulting IN
the regaining of ground and the driv-
ing back of the Germans at various
points.
The report from Field Marshal Haig
tonight declares that in these opera
tions heavy casualties have been in
flicted on the enemy.
The text of the statement reads;
"The battle was renewed this morn
ing with great violence south and
north of the Somme. Intense fighting
has taken place during the o from
south Of ROsieres to north of Alblain-
vile (Ablainzevelle).
An unsuccessful attempt made by
the enemy last night TO drive in our
line south of the SOmme was followed
this morning by a series of heavy at
tacks in the neighbOrhOOd of ROsieres
and to the south of that place. At Ro-
sieres all the eremy's assaults have
been beaten off by orr troops who IN
flicted heavy casualties on the enemy.
Farther nOrfE our line was nain-
tanned through tSe earlier part of the
day in spite Uf great pressure from
large hostile forces.
Later in the day fresh German
attack developed in this area with the
result that our line was taken back Il
short distance to the west Later re
ports show that our counter attacks
have again completely restored the sit
uatiOn.
During the day the enemy made a
number of determined attacks against
our positions between the Somme and
the Anrre and north and south of Al
bert Fierce fighting has taken place
in this sector also.
Part of our position to the south Of
Albert. into which the enemy at one
time forced his wav, was regained by
us by a counter attack and a further
heavy attack delivered by the enemy
at this point during the afternoon was
completely repulsed.
Attempts made by the enemy in the
course of the day to debOuch westward
from the town of Albert have been
driven back. i'm each instance with the

was only necessary to fire point blank
TO hit with certainty. These cavalry
men fired into the enemy so rapidly
that the Germans fell in swathes, yet,
still others came on. until the Srench
defenders we're compelled to cease
fire. because both rifles and machine
guns were red hot.
In some cases a single division OF
the allies. while retiring, was attacked
successfully by six German divisions.
The allies stood the test most cour-
ageOusly. but such a continued series
of shocks from fresh troops was bound
to tell on tired men, and eventually the
allies were forced to give way. But
they did it still fighting. It is known
that one Bavarian division lost fifty
per cent of Is strength.
Use Main Divisions
It was clearly apparent that the Ger
man high command rely on this meth
cd of successive sacrifice to break
through.
The French staff derives much salts
faction in the fact that the main Ger
man divisions were those put out of
the battle line. at least for the period
required for their reconstruction and
in this way a great part OF the German
reserve was used up, while the allies
merely called upon their immediate
reserves.
Further powerful attacks are expect
ed, but it is difficult to forsee at the
moment where these will take place
1t may be said, however. that the sit
uation is fully in hand and the heavi-
est kind of fighting may be looked for
