The North Caroling tax commission two years ago undertook a state wuie. equalization of real estate as be tween counties but because of a lacK of proper administrative machinerj it was only partly successful, Mr. Maxwell said". In his opinion only the state general assembly can in. prove conditions and he suggested legislation requiring the assessment of all property either at its full vai ue or at a definite percentage of that value. In no other way will equal ity between tax payers be obtained, he said. The speaker also suggested more recognition of the work done by local officials, especially assess ors, and the placing of those officers on a permanent basis at increasea salaries.

American soldiers are rapidly becoming expert at pa trol work and their officers say they carry on in No Man's Land as if they long had been practicing this kind of warfare. This is explained partly by the fact that activities in No Man's Land along the sector where the Americans are stationed are in the open. Already stories of heroism of indi vidual soldiers during trench raids are coming to light. A recent inci dent mentions five privates who rush ed from their dugouts as the Ger mans rushed to the trenches. Stand ing or kneeling in the trenches, they met the enemy with a fusillade of shots and held their trenches. TEACHERS 10 -MEET FRIDAY AND SATURDAY Prof. Geo. E.

Powerful efforts are being exerw ' ed by the Austro-German invaders of northern Italy to pierce the Ital ian tront in eastern lrentmo by bringing forward in the Sugana val ley powerful pressure against ' the defenders. Berlin's official report today claims some success for the Teutonic armies in this attempt. They took a town northeast of Asiago and fur ther to the joutheast made headway between the Sugana and Cismon val leys, storming defensive works in this area. The fighting here obviously is ov a desperate nature and the Italians are displaying their good morale. Between the Cismon and the up per Piave valleys, the Italian line is straightening out to virtually an even line connecting the Sugana and Piave valley armies. Maximalist rule in Petrograd ap parently is weakening as Premier Kerensky at the head of loyal troops has advanced 30 miles from the cap ital. Reports received in Finland say the premier has reached Petro grad and that the bolsheviki has been overthrown. There is no con firmation of Kerensky's arrival in Petrograd. The bolsheviki are digging trench es and erecting barricades in prepa ration for the Kerensky forces. Fight ing has occurred near Gacchina, 30 miles from Petrograd. Premier Kerensky's advance to wards Petrograd caused the military cadets there to rise Sunday against The campaign for funds to carry on the work of the Army Y. M. C.

In Moscow the conservative ele ments have gained the upper hand and have formed a government which is reported to include some bolshevikis. Premier Kerensky has retained his title as commander in chief of the Russian armies. General Alexieff, the former commander in chief, is with him, but whether General Cal edines and Korniloff have joined in the movement against the bolsheviki is not clear. With the Italian armies in position from the Piave to the Adriatic and from Piave west, the Austro-German drive through northern Italy ha lost much of its force. The inva ders have launched strong attacks northeast of Asiago and along the Piave there have been only artillery duels. North of Feltre the Austro-Ger-mans have captured 14,000 Italians who apparently were cut off in at tempts to reach the defensive lines. The Italians, aided by the French and British, are prepared to give bat tle to the invaders and heavy fight ing is not unexpected. B n.. TURKEYS ARRIVE FOR UR SOLDIERS DINNER Ry the Associated Press.
