CONFLICTING REPORTS

Tangier Morocco, Jan. 5.-News from
Zinat is conflicting. that originating from
native sources stating that the place has
been shelled by artillery and is half in
ruins and that Raisuli has fled TO the
mountains. The same source states that
General Bagdadi, chief of the sultan's
army, was wounded while leading an at
tack. Many others are also reported
wounded. 1t is impossible at this time to
determine the actual results of the en-
gagement. The Anjera- Fahs tribesmen
have joined the sultan's army in small
numbers, thus showing their loyalty.

Maher will ride during 1907 for Lord

WHAT'S MATTER
WITH THE ARMY
Gen. Lee Thinks Something Aust Be
Done to Attract Recruits.

San Antonio, Texas, Dec. %.
sswbat is the matter with the Ar
mv7-the discussion that IS excit-
ed such lively interest in and out
of the army. owing the depleted
condition of most of the regiments
and the difficulty of keeping re-
crniting up to its former rate, has
elected some opinions from Cen
eral Jesse M. Lee, formerly Com
mander of the Department OF Tex
as. Gen. Lee concurs with the Sec
ret airy of War in the opinion that
so netting must be done to make
the life of the private soldier more
attractive to the young men of the
country. The increased cost OF iiv-
ing. attended in other pursuits by
increased wages, but not by any
lihcreassd pay in the army, has
initiated against recruiting. Gen
lL.e thinks that Congress will prob
ably take some action in the matter
this winter. Like other retired ar
Inv officers he has drifted back to
lsan Antonio to live, finding it the
most pleasant place that he en-
countered in the long service.
There is a large colony of army OF
Ulcers in this city. where delightful
climate and congenial society makes
life attractive to them.

Perhaps the sum of human joy al

if not greater than, that of all th'
zest of the year combined. Christ
IS indeed a ioy-giving institution.
Tonight all over the Christian

And all of those who are able t
buy Christmas cheer for themselvs
and their loved ones, and are in
