". S. Evades Settling
Moroccan Problem
State Department Leaves Sow
ereignty Question to
France and Spain

Washington, May "A delicate. prop
lcm touching on differences between
France and Spain has been sidestepped
by the State Department.
After winning recognition Of the
French pro;octorste Of Morocco and the
suspension Of the exercise of Americas
extra-territorial rights there, France
urged the United states to recognize
her sovereignty over those portions OIL
" rocco occupied by Spain. The Ma
drid government objected.
The State Department finally refused
to take any action whatever and lett
the matter to be adjusted between
France and Spain themselves.
These facts were disclosed to-day by
= diplomat i'm discussing recent speech
bv former Spanish Premier Maura'
who. after speaking Of the "encroach-
mont" upon Spanish sovereignty at
Gibraltar, said: another example IS
Morocco. France wanted to appropriate
IL when we were still burdened with
the disaster Of the Spanish-American
War. Spain was thus between England
and France
This authority asserted that Senior
Maura's speech, representing the views
of the Conservative party in Spain, had
had IA tremendous effect upon the ma
ton and lad put an end for 1nc time
being to any speculations regarding the
possible carly entry of Spair INTO the
war on the pro-Entente side. Spain,
he said. has undergone revuision OF
feeling against foreign occupation OF
her soil. and this revival Of sentiment
had been especially pronounced during
the discussions by President Wilson OF
the rights Of smaller nations. The
Presidents utterances have been inter
preted in Spain to mean, it was said,
that England at Gibraltar was an un-
Just invader and that the United States
is looked to in that country to support
SPANS claim for the restoration Of her

tween $1,000 and $4,000 # single ana
81 .OOO and $4,000 If married or the mead
Of a family. An additional normal tax
Of , per cent would be added N the
case Of larger incomes. AT So,OOO an
additional surtaX, graduated until al
S500.O and over II reached 50 per
cent. would be imposed.
A married man with a $500 income
for example, would pay tax OF 9-oo'
Il would be assessed IN this manner
An exemption Of $1,000. tax OF :
per cent. or $40 on the next $1,000 up

difference between $4,000 and S',ouO, or

ing TO C. Petersen, a member of the

rigged sailing ship, was proceeding
from jamaica to Cienfuegos for car
og of sugar for Queenstown.
