The Red Cross took Madame Collard
in charge on her arrival here and Miss
Jeanette Clark. daughter of Dr. Andrew
Clark, acted as interpreter. Miss Clark
speaks French fluently and to her Ma

experiences of the last four years.
Her father is dead, Madame Coilard
said, and her mother was killed by a
German bomb during an enemy air raid

Paris May 1.-The German delegates to the
peace congress declare that they will sign the
peace treaty, but that Germany will not pay an

In the discussion of peace terms by Germany,
thru both her official and unofficial spokesmen,
she has invariably drawn distinction between
reparation and indemnity, constituting the latter
in effect as punitive damages.

ASSESSED VALUATION
IN WAYNE COUNTY
TWICE THAT OF 1915

The assessed valuation Of Wayne
county will be about $90,000,000 this
year against s42,0oo,o0o last year II
this country's rise in valuation due to
the new tax law keeps pace with that
of the state.
Strange N. Cragun, state tax COM
missioner, has estimated that the
states valuation would be about S.
100000 this year, against $2,250,-
100000 last year. Figuring this out
for Wayne, the county's wealth would
be about $90,000,000, or little more.
Cragun said the total assessed valua-
ton would be more than doubled and
it might be almost tripled
The great increase will increase the
margin Of bonded Indebtedness under
the constitution, which is 2 percent of
valuation, but Fred A. Sims, chairman
Of that state tax board, made it plain
that the board would not countenance
the use of this greater margin and
would not be disposed to approve of
bond issues for improvements that
could we'll be postponed.
