men, instead of 10000 as previously
estimated. This number is declared to
be rapidly decreasing. and the tribes

Recruiting by Spanish oH1clalS IN
New York for Moroccan service. it was
of the status of Morocco. already COM
plicated by several treaties dating
from the Algeciras conference Of a
decade ago and by Spanish and French
territorial claims. Moreover, it raises
the question, 1t was said. of whether
the Spanish armed expedition is to be
sent merely against rebels in the Span
ish sphere or further against the sui
tan himself.
OAcials Iaterested.
Reports of the recruiting were re-
ceived with interest by officials here.
but no indication was given Of the
attitude the American government will
take toward 1t. Recruiting by friend
ly foreign power here for military
is expressly prohibited by law, and
during the world war, BEFORE the
United States was a beliigerent, neu-
trality in this respect was strictly in

In this case. however, the situation

ago. an American minister has not
been sent there for, many years.

ATLANTIC CITY, May I.
Following the honors heaped on Jack
Dempsey on his arrival here yesterday,
the champion kept in seclusion for the
greater part of to-day. He remained In
his quarters in the Alamac Hotel until
this afternoon, when he emerged and
gave the eager populace glimpse Of his
sturdy figure.
Dempsey's only training to-day con-
sisted of long ride in rolling car,
pushed by a muscular human motor.
The champion was in the pink of
condition for his dinner when he re-
turned to his hotel, and as Manager
Kearns had gone to New York for
sparring partners the champion did
not diet himself.
Dempsey tomorrow will indulge in
more road work in a rolling car on
the Boardwalk but on Monday he will
start regular work in the ring of his
Airport training quarters in the pres
ence of the public. He will not do
much heavy work at the outset but
will gradually increase the amount till
he reaches the maximum
Among those who will watch the
champion at his work on Monday viii
be thirty members of the House Rivers
and Harbors Committee Of the House OF
Representatives. who arrived here the
same day that Dempsey did.
Mayor Edward l.. Bader who is an
enthusiast on athletics, was so busy
handing the keys of the city to Dempsey
that he almost forgot about the arrival
OF the national legislators. During this
week Mayor Bader. who was well
known football player at the University
of Pennsylvania and also crack boxer,
will put on the gloves with the cham
pion This will mark the first time in
history that the Mayor of city has
boxed with a champion in training for
a title bout. and there promises to be a
great crowd in attendance.
The champion. in being made special
officer of Atlantic City, has distin-
guished associates. Secretary of Labor
Davis of President Harding's Cabinet is
a special officer. end so also is Judge
J. Patterson of Philadelphia.
Despite the fact that Jack Curley has
selected training quarters for Carpen-
tier at Manhasset, l.. l., the claim is
made that the Frenchman will pitch
his tent at Inlet Baseball Park, about
two miles from the quarters of Demp-
sey at Airport. 1t will be remembered
that the training quarters of Willard
and Dempsey were about two miles
apart at Toledo. and 1t Is intimated
