appeared on the horizon. But 1t will be

how the three Eastern contenders can ward
off the advance of the Westerners at a stage

If the Yankees can survive this assault
they have the chance of their young and

Correspondence OF the Associated Press.
PARIS. February ga Job OF pub

said Gen. Layautey. governor general
OF Morocco. to a correspondent OF The
Associated Press. explaining how order
has been maintained in the protectorate
since the beginning OF the war. while
at the same time the governor general
has sent 10000 troops from the Moroc-
can forces. including 5000 natives, TO
fight in France.
AT the beginning" said Gen. lay
autey, we had to consider two ques-
tions-to maintain French supremacy
in the protectorate and to furnish
France with the maximum of military
aid. The two considerations appeared
to be contra dictory because OF the aeI-
tation still rife among certain tribes,
but the diminution OF the occupation
force was offset in part by the terri
torials brought from France. who.
though not so apt seasoned troops
for colonial service. have acquitted
themselves admirably.

Taught Napoleon Together.

AT the beginning of the nineteenth
century Portuguese and British bied
together on the battlefields of the pc
ninsula in the tremendous struggles
brought about by the Napoleonic in
vasions of Portugal.
1T would seem as if the opening
years of the century must see for the
third time the two allied nations en-
gagged side by side in the bitter arbitra-
ment of war.
Like Belgium, Portugal desires moth
ing that belongs to any other nation;
she has nothing to gain and much to
lose in the present conflict But she is
ready, notwithstanding. to aid England
to the full extent of her resources
whether great or small-because the
treaties in force compel her to do 50
and because her people firmly believe
that international good faith as evil
denced by the fulfillment of treaty OBJ
which Great Britain is fighting, pro-
vides the only basis on which inter-
course between civilized nations can
securely stand.
Portugal is not prepared to sub
scribe to the doctrine engendered by
militarism that good faith must be
made subservient to expediency and
that the interests of one nation may
legitimately be fostered at the expense
Of the rights of others whenever backed
by sufficient force. 1t is. moreover. i'm
possible to gainsay, after considering
impartially all the published evidence,
that the British government labored de-
votedly, nay. even passionately, to avert
the war.
"In these circumstances, Portugal
could not refuse her aid to her ancient
ally who has now called upon her to
fulfill her treaty obligations. She is
ready to stand or fall by the principles
for which the British empire is fight
ing"

'MR. BORLAND PLEADS
FOR HIS NEW rider"
Asks Members of House to Approve
Cut in Number of Govern
ment Employees.

Representative Borland of Missouri
today circulated through the House a
letter to congressman appealing to them
to support his new rider proposing a
10 per cent cut in the force of govern
ment clerks, together with an added
hour to their working day.
The letter says, in part:
The original provision, if honestly
enforced, might have required in some
of the departments a reduction of one
seventh. or IA per cent. The new pro-
vision. therefore. is less drastic in re-
curing but 10 per cent reduction and
giving the whole of the next fiscal
year in which to make the readjust-
ment. The efficiency commission SAYS
that this is a perfectly feasible plan
There will be no wholesale discharges.
Deaths and designations Noted.
'Ths number of vacancies in the force
by death. resignation and separation
from the service, is about per cent
annually. AS there would be under the
amendment approximately IA per cent
increase in the working time and only
10 per cent reduction in force required,
OF which per cent would he the
normal vacancies of the year. it will
be seen that the readjustment can occur
within the year with about per cent Of
dismissals
If among those dismissals could be
found some of the chief clerks who
have rushed into print to protest that
an eight-hou day cannot be honestly
enforced in the departments it might
be for the good of the service.
II have neither time, money nor in
c1ination to make a propaganda for
what / believe to be a public measure
and not a personal matter. but you are
entitled to know the reason upon
which these proposals are based"
