DR.. Benjamin Rand, librarian Of Har-

whatever admiration he may have had

In France and Belgium.
THE instance OF Chateau Fere at

typical example Of German devilish-
ness This beautiful chateau had been
the headquarters OF German General
and his staff. When they were obliged
to leave II they not only pillaged it but
left II diabolica, death trap.
THE entire chateau was wired in such
way that a tug upon any one of the
wires would have set off three tons of
high explosives. The trap failed be-
cause of the skill OF American engi-
neers."

PARIS. Sept. 30.-From the User TO the

number OF surprises already provided
new ones are expected every moment.

sitions In Belgium were a great surprise
10 Paris. SO little had been heard OF
the Belgtans that in the great rush of
recent events they had been forgotten.
The French critics. in their review of
the military events Of the last few DAYS.
say Gen. Ludendorff had scented this
generalization of the allied attack ff-
teen days ago and that in one Of his bat
tie orders ne plainly permitted II to be
supposed that he was aware OF our prep
arations.
Then came the spectacle of the enemy
patching up and reconstructing divisions.
removing certain fatigued ones from the
lines and replacing them with others
that had been held in reserve The be-
lief is unanimous among the critics that
the conditions of the enemy's effective
ness has reached an alarmingly low
stage.

WORKING HARD TO
GET TAX ROLLS
DONE ON On. Time
ASSESSORS WORK MADE
GREATER BY NEW LAW.
|Overburdened Official Gets No
Added Pay Nor Additional
Help for Added Labor.

Given additional work without
being provided with additional
assistance, County Assessor Vic
tor Wager is working hard to
prepare the assessment rolls for
delivery to the county commits
|sioners on the date provided by
law-May 20.
"It looks as'i if l would not be
able to finish the tax rolls on
time," said Mr.. Wager yester-
day, ''but am doing the best ]
can"
Under the new law consolidat-
ing the offices of city and coun-
ey assessor, and providing that
the county treasurer shall col
lect the town taxes formerly col
|lected by the tax collector of the
town, Mr.. Wager prepares the
tax rolls for the town of Nogales
without any pay, and without
any assistance being given him
for the added duties.
Last year l was paid about
1888 for collecting the personal
property tax" said Mr.. Wager,
"and the town paid Tax Collec-
tor Charles Fowler $1,700 for
the work now done by the coun-
ty treasurer.
while the town of Nogales
will have $1,000 more to spend,
owing to that amount being
saved by the new statute, il
makes it very hard on the coun-
ty officers whose duties have
been increased without being
given any more compensation,
and without being furnished
any additional help"
