ALVIN C. YORK

In brief skirmish on Octo-
ber Sth, 1913, Sergeant York
(then CorporaD killed 25 Ger
mans, captured 1872 prisoners,
including ? Major and three
Lieutenants. His rapid, deadly
shooting and cool courage en-
abled him to accomplish that
which is without a parallel.
The quickness with which the
dead were being piled up gave
the appearance of an attack
by a whole company of sharp
shooters. "Six men were with
York but the battle and the
victory We're wholly York's."
Even more amazing than the
normal accuracy of York's
aim is the fact that under a
hail Of bullets his nerve con-
tinued as steady and aim as
accurate as though target
shooting at a county fair.
York has been awarded the
Congressional Medal of Honor,
the Distinguished Service
Cross, the Legion of Honor,
the CroiX de Guerre, with
palm, the Italian Croca di
Gerra, the War Medal of Mon
tenegro, and a special medal
by the state of Tennessee.
Marshal Foch said that york
did the greatest thing accom-
plished by any single soldier
during the war" "He also has
been cited by General Persh-
ing as the hero of the greatest
single feat Of arms of the
World War"
Since youth, York has
been noted as a rare marks
man in the mountains of Ten
nessee. He was the crack
shot Of his battalion with the
rifle and in a contest with
automatic pistols hit a penny
match box every shot at forty
PAGES.
york has had many offers
to commercialize his fame. He
has declined all of them.
Among the offers was one to
go on the stage for a thirty
week engagement at a salary
of $1,000 per week. He has
given much time and thought,
without any compensation, to
carry out his idea Of establish
ing schools in the mountains Of
Fentress county, Tennessee.
Mr.. Wright, president of the
bank Of Jamestown, says:
II have heard hundreds Of
people say that his fame has
not spoiled him, he is first
class Christian Gentleman"

CITY TAX BOOST
NOT ALARMING
Local Official Does Not Be-
Iieve Jump Will be
Very Great
EXPECTS rs POINTS
City RatabIes Not Known as
Yet School Appropria-
ton May be Larger

The 1922 city tax rate will be
higher than the 1921 figures but the
increase will be nothing alarming"
according to local officials who are
closely studying the situation. one
estimate of the increase in the city
tax being placed at twenty-five
points. This would mean that the
1922 city tax would be s4.31 per
500 valuation instead of s4.06, the
1921 figures. In 1920. it is pointed
out, the city tax rate was S4.30 but
this year it took drop of twenty
four points, going to $4.O6. Next
year it is expected to rise to about
the same figures as of last year.
None of those who are closely
identified with the figures from
which some idea of next years city
rate can be learned will speak def
nitely at this time, poinfng out that
the valuations and ratables for 1922
are not known as yet.
Reports from New Brunswick,
which come from an authoritative
source, are to the effect that Perth
Amboys tax rate next year will be
forty or fifty points higher than
this year. Local taxing officials
however, are not ready to admit that
there will be such a jump. In
cfeasing ratables. it is pointed out.
will mean a lower tax rate and IL
is not known definitely now whether
there will be any increases in the
c.ty's valuations as compared win

LINK NAMES OF NOLAN,
KELLY and DORSEY WITH
WATER BOARD OFFICE
Successor to Harry Conard
Will be Named Shortly by
Board of Aldermen

Considerable speculation is being
made about the city today concern
ing the appointment of a water COM
missioner to fill the vacancy on the
commission by the expiration of the
term of Harry Conard, the vice pres
ident of the present board. The
names of JOIN Kelly. Frank Dorsey
and William p. Nolan have been
linked up with the appointment.
Mr. Nolan is a former member OF
the board.
John Kelly, when seen today re-
fused to discuss the matter or make
any statement for publication. How
ever, his friends claim that he Is
a. candidate for the appointment,
and point 20 the fact that as presi-
dent of the Democratic Club, Mr..
Kelly is entitled to the appointment
IL he desires it.
Mr.. Dorsey when questioned on
the appointment said: up until the
present tire / haven't looked for it.
Further than this he had nothing to
say. The fact that M. Dorsey is an
ex-mayor of the city, leads many TO
believe that the appointment is his,
if he makes an effort to obtain it.
The appointment to the water
commission in all probability will be
one Of the first to be taken up at the
Democratic caucus which is sched-
uled to be held between now and
January /. During the past ten days
efforts have beeI made to hold
conference of the Democratic MEM
bers of the board Of aldermen al
which time the committees and ap-
poiGtments were to be discussed, but
due to some of the members of the
Democratic majority being unable
to be present. the confer/ices have
been postponed from time to time.
The caucus viii. probably be held
within few days so the slate will
be ready BY January /.

A decision as to ratification Of tne'
Irish peace treaty or adjournHeu8
over the Christmas holidays was 'ex-
pected by tonight.
All observers agreed that when the
vote on the treaty is reached the ma
jority either way will be small The
supporters of the treaty appear to be
more conf lent than the opposing
faction. but the Duslin press which
is strongly IN favor of acceptance Of
the treaty continued this morning
to take a gloomy view of the situa-
tion.
the correspondents of the Free
mans Journal warned Dali meme
bers that abstentlon from voting by
even a small number might jeop-
ardize ratification. he pointed out
that if the Dali rejected the treaty
it would lai Sc automatically. and the
people would havs nc chance to ex~

there would be Continuation of the

The optimism which supporteu
of the treaty have been displaying
during the last few days appeared
somewhat diminished before the
morning session ended. When the

preston seemed that sentiment for
the treaty had lost some ground and
that the result of the vote was high

Mulcahy's speech was the feature
of the session. This was a mome.r
of defeat for Ireland, he declared.

necs:cn with the Bellmore hotel
