HcrbcTS Army Posts on the Sahar
The seizure 10y France Of Oudida, a Mo-
roccan frontier town. is really the culmina-
ton Of an active guerrilla warfare that has
been in progress since 1903. The Ostensible
reason for the act was the murder Of
French official in Marakesh; but Marakesh
is 800 miles from Oudjda.
The announcement is made that the town
will be held until the Sultan gives salts
faction for the murder: but il is admitted
that his influence in the region of Oudjda
il merely nominal He derives no revenue
from it and pobably does not particularly
care what the French do with the town. or
how long they hold it.
The true explanation Of the seizure il
probably that it is calculated 10 strike awe
into the wild tribcsmen who dwell along
the frontier between Morocco and the French
province Of Oran. and who are described by
the French as nothing better than pirates
of the sea Of sand. the great desert Of the
Sahara.
For some years the Algerian admins
tration has had to maintain a strong force
in the southern part Of Oran to keep these
robbers in check. Gen. Lyautey. who
commands the little army that took pos
session Of Oudjda, has been at the head Of
the pirate chasers. and as there is a line
GOO miles long 10 police, and as the Moroccan
side has always in the past been a safe
refuge for the marauders, he has had his
hands fuL.
The duty is not unlike that of the Cana
dian mounted police, or the similar bodies
which guard the British colonies in South
Africa: but it is more regularly organized,
consisting Of detaChments of infantry,
cavalry. artillery and engineers from the
French army. with regularly fortified posts.
Perhaps the life and duty are closer TO
what the United States army used to do
in the Far West in the days Of the Indian
wars than to anything else in military
history.
The territory Of Oran il swarming with
French settlers. Farms were laid out and
considerable commerce in sheep and
cattle arose with the peaceful tribes which
fattened their fiocks through the region
French settlers and small garrisons of
troops held the Sahara oases, and some

NEW YORK CITY'S DEBT.
More Than Half ne Great as That OF the
National Government.

The total bonded debt OF the United
States is only s925. 600, 900. and that Of New
York city Is already more than half that
of the national Government. At the present
rate OF increase the metropolis will have
the larger indebtedness in five years, says
the NeW Broadway Magazine,
The total debts OF all the States in the
Union amount only to $2s4,s l4, 100, less
thar half that Of the single city OF New
York. The total State, county and city
indebtedness Of the entire United States is
less than three times that Of the city Of
millionaires. -
The great military Powers Of the world
are much concerned over China and her
debt, and yet China has borrowed only
$813, OOO, 900, against $500, 000,o 600 for New
York. The entire Dominion Of Canada
owes only s271 100000, about equal to New
York's increase in four years.
Next TO New York the twenty-five large
cities of the United States, In the order
of their population. are as follows: Chicago,
Philadelphia. st. Louis, Boston, Baltimore,
Cleveland. Buffalo. San Francisco, Cincin-
natl, PittsbYrg. New Orleans, Detroit,
City, Louisville, Minneapolis, Providence.
indianapolis, Kansas City. st. Paul. Roch-
ester, Denver and Toledo.
Their population, according to the census
Of 1900. was about $500, 900, against 8,4s7, 900
for Greater New York. IL is not likely
that this proportion has changed much.
Now, the total bonded indebtedness Of
these twenty-five cities is about S4l7, 900, 900,
almost one hundred million less than that
Of the metropolis!
