MUST PAY TAX ON POWDER AND PLANT Ordnance Corporation's Plea for Reduction Denied by Jersey Board TP.13NTON. July 25 The Stale Board of Taxes nnd ApiesMiientH today dismissed tho application of tho International Steel and Ordnance Corporation for the reduc tion of a $200,000 tax assessment for yio year 1910 on prop-rty In tho township of Sayrevllle, Middlesex County. The case raftic before the State board on an appeal from the determination of the Middlesex County Board of Taxation, Involving tho following Items- Building and machinery, $60,000 , smokeless powder, $70,000, nnd trinitrotoluol, $70,000 The appellant paid the taxes on the building and machinery, but has not paid tho taxes on the other two Items and asked that tho assessment upon them bo can celed on the ground, that the corporation was not the owner of theso explosives on May 20, 191C, the date the assessment was made. The International Steel and Ordnance Corporation, which Is organized under tho lnw ol New Jersey, operates In tho town ship of Sayrevllle Avhat Is known as a "loading plant," consisting of buildings, machinery nnd equipment necessary to do the work of loading shells with smokeless powder and trinitrotoluol, known In the munitions trade as "T.

PAULS, July 25. i Client secrecy murks the new Allied coun ell or war, but It was understood today that Initial sessions hae already begun. It wns.repoitod that tho conference was called to deal ulh the Balkan question. This probtem prerents sinoral phases chief of which arc Shall the Alllos rct!ir from Macedonia? What disposition shall be mado of Balkan territory after the war 7 How shall Bulgaria be punished? What rewards shall Serbia .Montenegro and Rumania get? How shall Austrian and Bulgarian ng gicsslotH In Serbia be nff.iet? In addition to the Halkan problems, how ex er the Allies may go still further and recapitulate the Knlente'H aT alms en tlrely It mut not be considered that tho present council indicates anything serious In the war situation On the other hand, delegates to the conference declare that the sltilitlon on all fronts is r-utlrolj satisfac tory and the predict that the efforts of Premier Kciensky will soon see icsults In a Russian vletoi 'I'll- possibilities Inherent In tl, drr.. mentioned Allied eonfeience must not be un.ieresllmated. The conference was origi nally called nt the Inslstenco of Hussln fol lowing the abdication of King Constantino tii-sla openly criticized the action of the .ntente in deposing Constantino and plac Ing upon the throne of Groece bis son, Alexander, without so much as. consulting the (.lock people In the mailer In addl Ion llussla forbnde her troops In tho la lems to enter Athens, disavowed her claim to Constantinople and demanded thnt her Allies proclaim a similar policy of no aggression and no conquests In the pen Insula f ' Since then the question of reusing the general war alms of the nntcnto became tho most messing one In Inter-Alllcd re latlons. The lexolutlnnnry masses and c.nvernmcnt of Russia demanded that the Allies revise their war alms on tho basis of Russia n policy If Russia was to continue in ino war Russia's foreign policy Is that of No forcible annexations, no punltHo Indemnities, free development of all nations" The "no annexation" rr.Ini,.nnn passed seernl days ago by the Reichstag probably supplied Russian radical extrem ists with an additional argument against continuing thn offensive In Gallcla and n doubt, contributed to the refusal of main Russian regiments to fight. A dispatch from Washington yestcrd.-n stated that It was the opinion of diplomats there that the only power that could halt Russian military demoralization was tho Allied conference called to revise tho Allies' war alms and nn open declaration In favor of tho policy of "no forcible annexations." In view of the position of Russia and tho resolution adopted by tho Reichstag, It In not nt all unlikely that a common basis for peace negotiations would be created should the Allies follow the hint from Washington.
