Gen. Lyautey in Morocco.

From the Christian Science Monitor.
How Gen. Lyautey held Morocco, in
1914. and yet sent all the troops needed
to contribute to the defense of an in
vaded France. is just part of the great
French epic which began on August j..
1914. 1t Is known how. disregarding
advice, he concentrated his remaining
troops on the outposts, leaving the
coast to look after itself. Since then
the world has heard of the fairs at
casablanca and at Fez. and II has mar
veied, for 1t is only four years since
the memorable interview occurred with
Mulai Hafid. in the old palace of the
Moorish stronghold. With Gen. Lyautey

sword. He no sooner routs+ insurgent
tribes than he establishes ministry

MONEY |5 SENT.
 FOR CAMP TEAMS

A total of $157 for football acces- sQries was forW arded by Governor Campbell yesterday to Col. E. H. Yetle, commanding the 540th field artillery at Camp Funston. This money was raised by the Phoenix police reserves and the Tempe normal school, the former giving $55 and the latter s102.
 The boys are anxious to equip eight football teams at the camp, and have raised among themselves $500. They sent word home that they would like the home people to raise similar amount, as $1,000 is needed to buy the necessary equipment. including foot ball suits. The Flagstaff normal was the first to answer the call of the Ari- zona soldiers, the money being sent to Camp Funston by the governor.
 The University of Arizona has not yet been heard from, although 1t IS expected that that institution will do it's share in raising tte money needed. The governor said yesterday that any money sent to his office would be sent to the Arizona soldiers without delay, as they are anxious to get properly outfitted for the football season.
