Soldiers Interested.
The fact that Lieutenant Tom Brady
of Company B. First Regiment, i!
going to handle the affairs of tbs
course seems to have drawn the soldiei
athlete to this relay race. for every
regiment in the State has sent word
inquiring as to the rules which will

Paterson. Passaic and Rutherford viii
send a soldier team to represent those

will be no hitch in carrying on the

ADJUSTMENT IN MOROCCO
STIRS FRANCE AND SPAIN

Madrid, Feb. 1.-THE press of
Spain is at present occupied with re-
citals of an alleged divergence of
views between the governments of
France and Spain relative to the in
auguration of a more aggressive poll
Icy in Morocco. Commenting upon
the note purportiny to have been sent
by France to Spain asking for the
despatch of achievements to Nor
Deco, the Impartial expresses the opin-
ion that this step is not authorized
by the Algsciras act and points out
furthermore that Frances tactics up
to the present time have not won
aupeasernent In Morocco, but that
thew have only increased the local
hatred of Europeans. The Liberal be-
Heves the time has about arrived
when the countries concerned should
reach q definite understanding re-
garding Morocco.
