FIERCE BATTLE BETWEEN MOORS
 AND SPANIARDS

Gibraltar. Sept. 22.-The fiercest figl ting of the war between the Span iards and Riff tribesmen is taking place to-day according to messages that are reaching here from the front. The Riffians after their defeat, of yes- terday renewed the attack early to- day hoping to check the Spanish ad- vance. The latest word is that Gen- eral Marina is slowly forcing the tribesmen back but that the losses on both sides are enormous.
 Twenty Spanish officers are reported killed in to-day's engagements. The Moors loss is problematical, but one correspondent says that the country for several miles is strewn with the bodies of the Moors killed yesterday and to-day.
 Practically the entire Spanish force is engaged in the attack. their mum Der being estimated at 10000. The Spaniards are fighting with unusual courage as it is hoped that the present battle will decide the war. General Marina hopes to strike q crushing blow before the reported reinforce ments of Sultan Mulai Hafid reach the Riff country. ~

CREDIT RATINGS
 FOR EVERYBODY
Bridgeport Merchants Elk tending Business System
 to Meet Needs of Retail Trade
DEAD BEATS TOBE LISTED

At the last meeting of the Board of Directors of the Bridgeport Business Mems Association, the following reso- lution was adopted:
 ITO the Members of the Bridgeport
 Business Mems Association. At a netting of the Board of Directors held Sept. 10th, 1909, it was unanimously system of the Merchants Mercantile Association of Troy, N. Y., and we suggest that the matter be given care full consideration when presented"
 The object of the book is for the protection of the business men against undesirable customers-enabling the honest merchant to cultivate the busi- ness of those who pay their bills in a prompt manner.
 In no way is the book to be a black list as the rating of every citizen from the laboring man to the millionaire is given and is based upon their. prev ious record for paying their bills. By this arrangement a careful invest1ga- tion of every ones recordI relative to the payment of bills will be made and the result printed in the rating book:
 The system differs from that of Dun's or Bradstreet's in that the one to be adopted by Bridgeport rates not only the business man but the cus- toner as well. Every one is included in the rating list so that at a moments perusal person may know at once whether party is a dead beat or honest to the backbone. | Not only is the plan beneficial to the merchant class, but it enables the poor E-but honest-customer to obtain a reasonable amount Of credit.
 To those who have taken care of their obligations, their past record will be a letter of credit to the business and professional man.
 By this system it is easy to see that the chronic procrastinator in business the one who is always going to pay and who never does, will have a thorny road to travel in this city.
 This book is being compiled by the I Merchants Mercantile Co. of Troy, N Y., and will be issued in about sixty 1 days. | In every city where the book has 1 been compiled the merchants say il I has tonic effect on the trade, as thei1 I customers are all anxious to get
 good rating in the book and conse- quently hustle to pay their bills il order to get and keep such a rating.
