Germany's offensive in Russian Poland, between the Vistula and Warthe rivers, has been checked, the war otiice here The fighting was said to character. How the Russians trapped Bzura river was thrillingly the iront. It was explained that the stop the enemy's advance at the Bzura, mined the banks of the stream and withdrew. The Teutonic cavalry ap proached unsuspectingly, seeking a crossing. At this point the Russians exploded their mines. The explosion alone was declared to have caused enor mous loss of life, but worse was to follow.- The explosion's survivors, horses and men, plunged into the river. Its bed was filled with entanglements and while brutes and men struggled together the Slavs rained shells among them. But few, it was said, escaped alive, and these were cap tured. Owing to the severe weather, German losses in the present eastern campaign were said to be far heavier than when the kaiser's troops invaded Russia before. This, it was stated, was because the ground was frozen too hard to allow the invaders to "die themselves in" and thev were compelled to light in the open .......... defenses as the country affords. The Russians, on the other hand, it was stated, were prepared for present con ditions, their sappers being provided with petrol to thaw the ground, enabling.. them to entrench as effectively as if the season were summer. " It was estimated that 500,000 Germans were already across the frontier and attempting an advance on War saw in the face of a fierce Russian resistance, while still more Teutonic troops were being rushed to the eastward by way of the network of railroads in East Prussia and German Poland.

PERFECTED 1 FOR ORGANIZATION ADD FIRE TO FLOOD ' Pafft, Nov. 21. A German plan to attempt burning the al lies out of their trenches 'in northwestern Belgium was sus pected here today. It was certain, at any rate, that they had provided them selves with large numbers of huge barges and vast quantities of crude oil. The belief was that they intended to fill the barges with oil and launch them cm the flooded area between Dixmude and the coast. The barges, burning to the water's edge, would let the oil run out, and, as the oil would float, the whole region would be converted into a great sea of fire. The fighting in the north to- . day was mostly with artillery. Weather conditions continued frightful and the use of infan try on an important scale was Impossible. The British, who have been attempting to cut the Germany's communication lines north of Arras, were increasingly active in that locality today. Fl This Makes the Basis by Which Corporation Prop erties Are Valued the state tax commission, after more than a week's deliberation, during whlrh time they listened to the presen tations of the county assessors and tax claim agents of the ruilroads and other public service corporations, reached a final conclusion this noon upon the tax ratios for the several counties of the state to apply upon the 1914. tax roll and valuations. These rutkis represent the average percentage of the assessed value to tho actual value of taxuble properties in general in ench county, and -is used us a basis to determine the apportionment of the iissessment of public service cor porations among tho several counties and also as a basis of equalization be tween the several counties in the ap portionment of state taxes. They range higher on the general avorajjo than the ratios lost year but In some cases there is a reduction shown. This is due to one of two cnusos: A reduc tion in tho values of taxable proper ties, and because of the increases made in tho assessment rate In Borne of the counties. , Tho County Ratios. In Marion county the ratio for 1914 has been fixed ut 00 per cent, which is nine per cent higher than the tenta five ratio issued by the commission aud made public a week ago, and three per cent higher than the ratio of ono nnd two years ago which was used as thfc basis of apportionment of assessment of public service corporations and slntc (axes to Marion county. Marion coun ty's ratio is tixed but ono per cont higher than that for Linn county, three per cent higher then Lane county, 17 per cent hlghor than Polk, four per cent higher than Benton, 17 per cent higher than Yamhill and H per cent ingner than Clackamas, Marino s near est neighbors.
