IDE'S J CHANCE
TO SI ID TUXES
Five Per Cent. Abatement Allowed
on Occupation Assessment;
Sum Not Extensive
• Five per cent,
abatement on oc
cupation or per
sonal tax is al
lowed by the
county tax col
lectors just as on
any other tax and
the taxee may
have the advan
tage of the rebate
merely for the asking.
Announcement to that effect was
made, yesterday in the County Com
missioners' oiflce in answer to queries
as to wether or not the abatement
held when the collectors of county
' a *^ u ' n l* I '' l '"- v fia ' ' n " le Courthouse.
The 5 per cent, abatement holds
good on all county taxes, occupation
or personal,' as it is called, as well as
any other." said an official In the
County Commissioners' office. "How
ever, few folks ask for it, but it must
be allinved if you ask."
Xot that the abatement ordinarily
would amount to enough to make a
very extensive investment. As a rule
the average assessment for occupation
is based on the SIOO salary. Four
mills for taxation runs the tax bill up
to as much as 40 cents. And as has
been mentioned before, 5 per cent
abatement is allowed.
So one merely by asking the tax
collector may save as much as 2 cents.
New Trial in Ensminger Cast?— New
trials weie allowed by Judge McCar
rell yesterday in the cases of Dr. John
T. Ensminger, Jr.. and Miss Martha
listen, a trained nurse. The opinion
was handed down late in the after
noon. Ensminger and Miss Osten were
convicted some time ago of crimes
growing out of the alleged intimacy of
Ensminger, a married man. with the
nurse.

SALAMANDERS ARE

Dr. Surface Gives Some Informa

State Zoologist H. A. Surface has

Liege Was Attacked by
125,000 German Soldiers
By Associated Press
Brussels, Aug. 8, via London, 6 A. M.
—The war office has issued an official
statement saying that 125,000 Ger
mans participated in the assault on
the forts at Liege, but that they com
| pletely failed to make any impression
on the fortilications. Three army
j corps engaged in the attack was cut
up and rendered useless, it is declared.
"For many days," reads the state-
I ment, "our little army by tenacity
! and courage rendered highly valuable
j service to the French army, which for
: some days under forced march has
I been hurrying to our assistance and
| now occupies a considerable portion
of our territory.
"Hundreds of German prisoners
have been captured. These are chiefly
cavalrymen. The spirit of the Ger
man soldiers lacks enthusiasm. They
appear to be lighting lethargically,
while their officers endeavored to pass
themselves oIT as Frenchmen."
German Advertisements
Were to Guide Army
Special to The Telegraph
Paris, Aug. B—lt was discovered to
day that thousands of posters of
"Bouillon Kub,"manufactured by a Ger
man firm, whlcli dotted the Frenctf
countryside just as those of a certain
brand of pickles do the fields along the
railroads in the United States, were In
tended to he of use to an Invading
German army by giving information
of a military character through the
varying sixes of the posters and the
colors employed.
For instance, a military commander
seeing a square yellow poster would
know that "food Is aboundant around
here." If he saw a round red poster
he would deduce the fact that "the
ground is mined around here."
Every geometrical figure and all thu
plain colors were utilized In this
scheme to give military Information
by means of' innocent-looking adver
tisements placed In strategical positions
by German bill posters several months
ago.
Flowers and other decorations and
animal forms were used on the posters.
One of the signs conveying informa
tion to an Invader was a flaring repre
sentation of the Stars and Stripes.
The. Germans will, however, look In
vain for these "signal posters." The
Minister of the Interior telegraphed
orders all over France this morning to
have them torn down along the route.
