Chicago, Aug. 22.-President Ban B. Johnson, of the American league said tonight that the National baseball commission. at its meeting in Cincin- natl Tuesday sent a communication to Secretary of War Baker asking his ap- prOval of the worlds series.
 Without the sanction of the war department. the American league would not have turned a wheel to- ward the series" President Johnson said. T am immensely pleased that Secretary Barker is in favor of the games"
 The details for the series will be announced as soon as a formal rul- ing by Secretary Baker is made. There is a possibility that a percentage of the receipts will be given over to war Charaties. although this question has not been settled. The national com mission also is considering cabling de tailed stories of the games to the American and Canadian forces over seas.

BRITISH OFFICIAL

LONDON, Aug. 22-The town of AL bert, eighteen miles east of Amiens on the Ancre river. has been recaptured by the British, who also have obtain ed all their objectives in the fighting today between Gray and Sur Somme and Albert, according to the official communication from Field Marshal Haig tonight. Over the six mile front the British advanced two miles.
 The text of the communication fol- lows:
 Tn our attack between Bray Sur SOmme and Albert we have been com pletely successful, capturing the whole of our objectives at an early hour and advancing two miles on a front cf more than six miles.
 We have retakel Albert.
 There was considerable resistance at certain points, especially cn the slopes north of Bray, the town itself not forming a part of our objective" :"
 We have captured over five thous- and prisoners in two days.
 We captured in Albert 14OO pris- Oners and a few guns.
 Tn counter attacks in the Miraumur sector, the enemy entered our posi- tiOns but was driven out again. The same thing happened northeast of Achiet-Le-Grand. Hostile attacks east of Coucelles and east of Moyenneville were also repulsed.'

COCHISE TAX RATE IS AGAIN LOWERED
 BY BOARD
COUNTY AGAIN LEADS STATE IN HAVING LOWEST TAX RATE - CREDIT GREATLY DUE TO PRES ENT MEMBERS OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS

TOMBSTONE, Aug. 22.-Once again
 Cochise county with the highest as l sessed valuation in the State of Arl zona, leads over other counties in the history of the county.
 This was arrived at this week at the meeting of the Board of Supervis- ors held for the purpose, when that
 body set the tax rate for the year at "A cents on the s1O0 valuation. This is 15 cents lower than last year wfSch was the lowest rate in the state, and much lower than the year previous, and fine credit mark for Chairman Vance Johnson. John Rock and J. Nj. Sparks of the board of su- Dervisors.
 Cochise leads all other counties in the state with Q valuation of $169.3 lS,- 466.17, as capitalized by the state board C.. equalization, following the action Cf the Cochise county board of equali- zatiOn, which was in session in July, practically no changes having been made by the state board on the figures as fixed by the Cochise board.
 These figures when taken into con sideration will affect thousands of dol ;ars saving to the taxpayers and shows that the board of supervisors are con ducting the county in an economical manner, as well as other county of- fees, and speaks well for the expen- diture of county monies which come under the administration of the board, amounting to almost a million dollars annually, including roads, etc.
 The drop from S9 to "A cents in the rate will mean that a man with a property valuation of 5000 will only pay this year $40 taxes, where last year he would have paid SS.90 and in previous years considerably more.
 To the taxpayer who annually has had to pay his proportion of revenues 10 the county and state, these figures will prove of interest especially dur ing a time now when he is being bur dened with war necessities and con sequent high cost of living.
 For the past dozen years Cochise county had led all counties in the state with assessed valuation, due to her taxable producing mines. and the rate has been gradually lowered, es- pecially since the advent of statehood.
 In the lowering of the rate the pres ent board of supervisors, composed of Chairman Vance Johnson of Blsbee, John Rock of Turner and J. M. Sparks of Douglas, schould be given credit for no small share of the benefits derived thereby as it is through their hands that the expenditures on which the budget for the purposes of taxation is fixed. This has kept down to the lowest standard possible, as the rate as fixed will show. If the taxpayers of the county want the good work to continue they should see that mem bers Johnson and Rock are returned to the board as the taxpayers of the county know where they stand and how they have worked for the lowering os the rate and kept the expenses of the county down.

WITH BISBEE SCHOOLS.
CArizona Mining JournaD

The great interest that has been created in vocational education by the Smith Hughes bill has called attention in state educational circles to the extent to which vocational education has been undertaken in the Bisbee schools Much more exten- sive work is offered in the Bisbee high school than Is found in most high schools of the country At the present time courses are being offered in automobile repairing, telegraph, radio-buzzer work, me chanical drawing, printing and the usual manual training courses for boys, and tor the girls courses are offered in dress design ing, dress making and sewing, and for the boys and girls, courses in stenography type writing, stenotype and bookkeeping These are in addition to the usual related subjects of the school curriculum.
 State director of vocational education, Colodny, recently made an inspection of the work being done under the Smith Hughes bill, which provides for federal aid in the schools doing vocational work, and expressed himself as being very much pleased with the efficient way in which it was carried out at Bisbee. In speaking of the Bisbee schools, Director Colodny de clared them to be of high order What ever Is needed for the Bisbee schools, he stated IS supplied them without question. The Copper Queen and the other big com panies of Bisbee have been criticized about some things, but the spirit of hberality shown towards the public schools of Bisbee Is highly commendable. In buildings and equipment, they are second to none.
