heavy buying of pig iron at higher
prices, urgent requests for finished
goods and increasing outputs of every

WASHINGTON. d. c.. Sept. "a
The attempt Of the sultan of Morocco
TO obtain foreign intervention in the
conflict between his country and
Span was detailed in a dispatch made
public today from United States Min
.ster Dodge at Tangier to the state
department
In a note addressed tc the diplo-
matte corps the sultan through his
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS his alarm at
the large Spanish force in the Riff
country, saying that the report had
arisen that the Sapnish governments
object was net limited to the punish
mcnt of those who killed certain mine
laborers.
The sultan maintained that Spain
had no right to administer punishment
and requested the diplomatic corps to
inform their governments that they
may invite the attention Of the Span
ish government, in friendly manner,
to the danger incurred by its action.
Mr.. Dodge added that the French
minister to Morocco. who is dean Of
the diplomatic corps, was about to
address circular note to the corps
saving that the French did not con-
slider this a case in which 1t could
take action.

is not thought, therefore, that the
