Paris.-French and Spanish troops
are in possession of Casablanca, on
the Moroccan coast, after a terrific
bombardment and ha%nd-to-hand fight
ing in the streets. The Moors per-
cipitated the conflict by attacking a
landing party on the way to the
French consulate. The ensign in
command was shot through both
hands, but he gave the order to
charge. With fixed bayonets the ma
rlnes cut their way through a col
umn of native troops, leaving $50
DEAD n wounded in their wake.
Inc marines reached the consulate,
and the news of the fighting was
slgnaled to the French cruisers,
which Immediately opened fire with
all their guns. More than 1000 shells
were fired. The native quarter of
the city was wiped out and several
hundred rebels were slain. The last
dispatch received by the French Gov
eminent is to the effect that the
Pasha as Casablanca has formally
surrendered the town to the allies.
The casualty list is confined to elev-
en- French marines and sailors
wounded. An attempt was made by
the rebels to work several batteries
against the cruisers, but the guns
were quickly put out of commission.
The fire of the cruisers was accurate
and terribly destructive. The bonn
bardment lasted more than two
hours, and fighting in the wrecked
streets continued internationally un.
til darkness fell. The Arabs fought
with fanatical courage. Many of
them detached themselves from col
umns of horsemen and rode down
to the waters edge, firing their rifles
at the warships. Shells were rained
among them, and the shore at one
point was thickly strewn with dead
horses and the bodies of their riders.
The bombardment was Immediate
ly productive of results. Mulai
Aiming, the commander of the
Moorish troops, requested pardon of
the French admiral, who replied that
he was unpreDared to grant it, and
peremptorily ordered him to surren.
der to the French consul, which he
did.
The occupation of C~asablanca is a
direct outcome of the native uprising,
which resulted in the killing of eight
Europeans at Casablanca. Both
France and Spain are hurrying other
warships, with troops and marines,
to various points on the Moroccan
coast for the protection of foreign
ers. Under the terms of the Alge-
ciras Convention these two powers
are charged with the policing of the
seaports of Morocco, and their action
at Casablanca has brought no protest
from any power. The States of Eu-
rope have expressed their willingness
that France and Spain restore order
in Morocco. No other countries are
involved.
France and Spain have agreed on
the terms of a Franco-Spanish note,
informing the powers signatory OF
the Algeciras Convention, including
the United States, of their intention
to keep within the terms of the con.
vention in dealing with the situation
in Morocco.

swept the Northern States many
years ago, in the effort to suppress
the crimes of drunken people. But
the South's most important cities re-
main o~bdurately wet"
Politicians in the South have come
to a realization that the prohibition
movement in their region is one
which must be taken with the utmost
seriousness. The politico-temper-
ance crusade, with it's new life and
energy, constitutes the most startling
development in Southern politics to-
day. The advocates of compulsory
abstinence are growing more power
full day by day. The movement is not
so much against the consumption of
whisky and other alcoholic beverages
as against saloons, rum-shops, bars
and the like.
The average American is in the
habit of regarding Kentucky, Tennes-
see, the C%arolinas, and, in fact, most
of the other Southern States, as dis
tinguished for the production and
consumption of liquor. 1t is interest
ing, in view of this, to have attention
directed to the fact that in the State
of Kentucky ninety out of one hun
uTeu anu nineteen are no
license" That is to say, in none of
the ninety counties will be granted
a license to sell liquor. The whole
State of Tennessee is dry" save for
the cities of Memphis, Nashville and
Chattanooga. In the dry" districts
no alcoholic beverage may be bought
hot even a glass of beer or claret
with dinner.
The State of Texas is said to con-
tain ninety counties that have abol-
ished saloons. North Carolina, Mis-
sissippi and other States of the South
tell the same story. Anybody may
have spirituous beverages sent to him
in any of the 'dry" districts; but
throughout these regions every sa-
loon has been eXtirpated. One may
travel up and down the rural parts
of Kentucky and Tennessee without
finding one bar or crossroads saloon
such as may be found in p~rofusion
throughout, say, New York, New Jer-
sey or Pennsylvania.

FAINT l noticed on his body a red spot and
treated same with different remedies for
about five years, but when the spot began

spread to four different parts of his body.
During the day it would get rough and
form like scales. At night it would be
cracked, infiamed and badly swollen, with
terrible burning and itching. One doctor
told me that my sons eczema was incura-

This practice was followed for sew

A .County's Champion Liar.

A champion liar in Bradford
County makes a complaint of losing a
cherry tree growing in his garden.
Cherries are not plentiful this year,
and the birds were robbing him. So,
catching up his double-barreled shot
gun, he hastily loaded it, but, finding
he had no shot, he substituted tacks.
He fired both barrels and succeeded
in lacking every bird fast to the
cherry tree, but there were so many
of them that they flew away with it.

The name of Dublin Castle, the
scene of the raid on the jewels of the
Order of st. Patrick, is more formid-
able than its appearance. When it
was built in the thirteenth century
it was, doubtless, with it's four great
towers and its deep moat, a thing of
beauty compared with the present
miscellaneous weller of buildings
gathered around two ugly squares.
Supposed to have been begun by a
grandson of Henry I, Meyler Fitz-
Henry, it was completed by Henry De
Loundres in 1928. In those days
the days of it's life as a real castle
defending a city-a river ran past the
building. The Poodle still runs. but
it keeps its obscure course under the
pavements of the Lower Castle Yard.
1t was not until we'll into the reign
of Elizabeth that the castle was first
used as the official residence of the
Lord Lieutenant, then described as
the Lord Deputy" Although it has
ever since retained that exalted func-
ton, Dublin Castle was so neglected
about two centuries ago as to need
rebuilding. Very little of the orig
1nal structure remains.-Dundee Ad-
vertiser.
