PARIS, Sept. San official report OF

French troops and the Moors outside
O Casablanca has been made 10 the
minister Of war. This report and the
consequent news reports OF the battle

situation In Morocco IS more serious

pesstmistlc.
The clamor. therefore, for immediate
measures TO end a campaign that is not
alone costing lives. but is Involving the

Government officials. also. have been
freshly impressed by the latest advices.
and it is now obvious to them that some
arrangement must be made with the
powers, whereby the Algeoiras conven-
ton must be enlarged sufficiently to
permit the French and Spanish forces
to drive the Moroccan tribesmen before
them. close upon their ranks In the in
terror. and either compel them to lay
down their arms or fight it out.
In the latter event. the Moors would
have small show against the modern
fighting methods. and a great slaughter
would result. This IS TO be avoided, II
possible. by tho French, for a too rigor-
Gus campaign would. without doubt,
stir the sympathy Of the world and ex-
cite indignation.
The tribsgmen who are attacking
daily at Cbsablanca are led by a politi-
clan who is clever enough to appreciat e
the predicamept the French find them
selves IN. This accounts for their per-
sistency In attacking General Drude's
forces. Casablanca corFespOndeuts saw
that every attack on the city weakens
the power OF the present Sultan and
makes the campaign OF the French
more difficult.

GUARD JAPANESE
ON MEXICAN LINE

Persistent trouble in preventing Jap
anese coolies from getting into the
United States across the Mexican Dor
der is worrying the Bureau OF Immi-
grafton and giving the Administration
much concern
The passport arrangement for the pre-
Vention OF the admission OF Japanese
Iaborers, made last winter, is of little
efficiency, and by hook or crook hun
dreds Of Japanese are getting into tho
country.
Commissioner General Sargent. Of the
Bureau OF immigration. has hit upon
the plan of placing a chain Of mounted
inspectors along the Mexican border
from the Pacific 70 Brownsville. Or
ders to this effect have been given.
It is not known how many noun ed

It Is suggested that seventy-five guards
will be able 10 prevent the japanese and
Chinese from smuggling their way
through.
Officials here are pleased over the
news from Japan y the effect that that
country is driving out and excluding
Chinese coolies. Japan, il is said, is
doing tust what she is finding fault with
the United States for wanting to do.
and this fact will place the State De-
