 .The Troubles At

In rebelling against the var which spain has undertaken on the RiR coast of Morcco. some of the Spanish people have perhaps in mind the fact that little national glory or territorial expansion Is likely to be obtained through long and hdoody campaign against the wild tribesmen of that region. says The Chicago Record- Herald. For the integrity of Morcco Is guaranteed by the Powers Of Eu- rope. the Sultan of that picturesdua and unprogressive country Is taking no part in the proceedings. and tho Government of spain has Announced that the purposes of the war is knitted to the protection of Spanish possessions and frontiers covered by the treaty of Tetuan. being in no sense directed against Morocco as a state. Few Spaniards, however. are given to reading or thinking ab- stractly about questions of govern- ment or foreign policy. Eighty per cent of them are unable to read Or write. The antagonism of the people 10 the Moroccan war probably springs almost wholly from their knowiedIxe of what the wars of the past alava cost them individually.

New~~York. Aug. I4.--After more than ten years of preliminary planning
 work has just begun here, which,
 when It Is completed in 1912. will
 provide this city with the greatest municipal building In the world, cov- ering two city blocks. affording of nee room to more than l2,0OO persons and costing s15.o0o,0 900. 1t will be the largest and most complete building ever erected. or likely to be erected
 Tor the accommo odation of administra-
 tive and departmental officers of a city. In many respects 1t will also establish new construction records. The contract for the foundation is the largest ever awarded in this coun- try. not only as regards the estimat-
 ed cost of s1,50o.0o0 but also In the amount of earth to be, excavateI and or concrete to be used. Not less than l40,O00 cubic yards of dirt and rock will have to be removed. 50,OO0 cu- bic yards of which will be under wa ter. while the concrete to be used for the mammoth piers on which the building will rest will amount to at least 60.00O cubic yards. necessitating 1o.0O0 barrels of cement. The founda- tions will extend 130 feet below the street level and ninety feet below the water level while the height of the 'ouituihB rom basement to the top of its tower will be $50 feet. There will be twenty-five stories in the main building each with an area of more than an acre while the total area of of1ce space. including the tower win exceed thirty acres. Thirty-two ele- tators. the greatest number ever in- stalled in one building. will take the passengers up and down, and a sub way station in the basement will give direct access to the city's various un- derground lines. The lighting of the building will require more than 200 miles of wiring and about 100000 elec- trio light bulbs. Altogether Father Knickerbocl<er is to have e municipal building entirely in keeping with his municiple expenditures. which are equal to more than one-third of the whole expense of the Federal Govern. ment and the largest of their kind in the world. ~.

 One of the most picturesqus chap ters of European history is the story of the invasion of Spain by the Moors which left permanent monuments oG the greatness of the invaders in kha Alhambra and other famous structures Before the invention of gunpowder the Moors were a formidable enemy in the field. They are credited. indeed. with having used gunpowder for the first time in European warfare, at the siege of Algeciras, in 1342, and with having long been familiar with It's use before other nations put it to practical puf- poses Morocco received the expelled Moors when those of them that refusl cd to accept Christianity were driven from Spain by the power of IsabeliA of CastiIe and Ferdinand of Aragon in the Fifteenth century. Their sets clement on the African coast gave them the opportunity of becoming pirates for many centuries. The Mori- scoes of Spain those Moors who ac- cepted Christianity. finally were driven into Northern Africa in 1609 and forru- cd with those of their blood who had preceded them O race element pos- sessed of enduring hatre& of the Spanish name and poole.

m opitc oI the eremHrkaDly cool summer which this city has enjoyed who are a bit warm under the collar The 16.000 comprise the local mem bership of the Young Mems Christian Association, and the reason for their warmth Is found in the recent utter ances of the Rev P. A. Baker, who is national superintendent of the anti saloon league, in which he is widely quoted as saying that the Y M. c. A. is an institution which ought never to have existed. Equally productive of feeling is that portion of Mir. Bakers remarks in which he is quot cd as saying: 'Oftentimes the r. M c. A. is not a Christian organization as 1t should be. Many times 1t is one of graft and greed in which money from men not Christian is solicited to make 1t go. I can almost say. that the present day associations are not religious and are growing less re- ligious with the years" That such criticism can hardly be regarded other wise than as the result of personal feeling and Is in no way borne out by the records. was pointed out by a local Association man when he said: 'The Association does not exist merely as an institution for protesting Chris tians. One of its prime purposes, as anyone who knows anything about its work is aware. is to bring Christians influences into the lives of men who are professedly not Christians,I am utterly at a loss to account for MT. Bakers remarks unless the are due to the fact that we pre- fer to conduct our work fire from the domination of outside interests. |" Oficers of the Association while they decline specifically to answer MT Bakers criticisms as Is their settled policy, point out that in the religious side of the work since 1900 the num- Der of laymen in religious work com mittees has increased 2s6 percent the amount spent for local religious work 530 percent. the number of bible classes SIS percent. their enrolment 561 percent. and the total attendance 47S percent. All of which places the statement that this world wide associ- ation is not religious and is growing less religious in a somewhat peculiar light.
 As a result of the local financial furry over the appearance of, the new pennies bearing the bust of Lincoln, during the first days of which youth ful but enterprising speculators in the Wall Street district disposed of the new coins at the rate of two for a nickel, an ingenious grocer brought to light a rather remarkable scheme for attraca- ing trade to hin store. While the de- mand for the new 1909 Lincoln pennies was at its height. this canny merchant hung in the window of his store a sign reading:

 Pennies.

Before noon the line of persons wait ing to take advantage of this offer stretched half way around the block To each, as he entered. offering a pen nv of the vintage of 1908, and demand ing S1O according to the terms of the sign. the grocer explained that the mo- tice was not intended to convey the idea that he would give 310 for each penny bearing the date of 1908. but that to each person who brought him 1908 bne-cent pieces he would give SlO; and he could well afford to, for he would be $9. .OS ahead on the transac- ton. He found 1t very difficult to win some of his callers to his point of view and often he was put to the inconveni- ence of ejecting insistent small boys who appeared with one cent and de- manded S1O for 1t. In spite of the ob- vtous hoax, however, his sales showed an increase for the day of nearly 800 per cent. largely in the shape of crack CTS and the like sold to hungry persons waiting their turn to receive aIO for 1 cent.

But should Spain con fine her operations strictly to defend ing her admitted rights along the coast and to punishing the tribesmen dt- rectly responsible for the attack on spaniards, no Interference by another European state probably will ocour. The rigorous censorship imposed on news from Melilla. the center of the troubles in Morocco, and from Spain makes 1t difficult for the world to guess how extensive are the Spanish operations.
