Spain's Progress in Morocco.

The new Spanish Cabinet has prac-
tically staked its life upon the sue
cessful termination Of the nations
long drawn out warfare IN Morocco.
Premier MAUEA was returned 70
power principally owing to the belief
that he could formulate and carry
out policy which would succeed
the dilatory tactics OF former Gov
ornments. He made tho Moroccan
situation the chief feature OF his
programme and he sent Senor LA
CIERvA, Minister of War. to Melilla
to present to the Spanish army COM
manders the Governments plans OF
operation. To support strongly ag-
gressive action he has poured a
large number of troops into Morocco
and he has called upon the reserves
to an extent unknown in Spain for
years.
Around the operations OF this mill
tary force the Spanish Government
has drawn heavy veil OF secrecy.
The strict censorship instituted, 1t
was announced, was for strategic
purposes, but 1t is not unlikely that
political reasons are OF equal i'm
portance. Spain In the past. 1t will
be remembered. has been thrown al
most into a state OF revolution by
the reports OF Moroccan rcverses.
The recent special cable messages TO
THE NEw YORK HERALD from Madrid
are practically the only authoritative
statements regarding the movement
OF the Spanish troops since the pres
ont operations began. These mes
sages report decided gains by the
Spaniards: the army, heavily sup
ported by the fleet, has occupied
strong positions near Melllia, and Is
advancing toward Zeluan after the
abandonment Of Nador by the Mo
roccans. The Kahyle tribesmen, II
is believed. will retire into the noun
tains and thus leave the coast to the
Spaniards.
There can be no doubt that Spain
has an arduous task before che
can gain a decided victory over
tic tribesmen. She will have to
carry the warfare into mountain.

cation between this region and the

Forgetting to Read.
Teachers and Publishers Trying TO
Increase the Use OF Books.

To TRs NEW York HERALD: Your edi-
toriai article on Forgetting TO Read"
strikes a responsive, chord with all who
have occasion to watch the reading ten
denotes OF the public. Our schools
have taught reading universally. but
they have not made readers. Perhaps
something is wrong with the method or
material used.
Your comments find interesting con-
frn,ation In an address made at the
last conference of the National Educa-
t!on Association In which Margaret M.
Skinner OF Wisconsin closely analyzed
the actual reading OF n community and
pointed to the lack OF connection be-
tween the formalized reading study of
the schools and the actual human read
ing interests of the average echool
graduate Sno called for more use OF
training In the reading habit as well
az in the facility to read.
The book trade of the country has
been trying in It's own way 70 start dis
cussion on this fundamental need OF
more widely spread reading habit. Chill
dren's Book Week. celebrated annually
each November in libraries, schools and
book stores. has done much 10 remind
parents OF the place or books In
tho home. Religious Book Week last
March was the joint effort OF several
religious organizations and book and
periodical publishers TO point TO the i'm
portance and potential influence OF our
religious literature. The Buy a Book Il
Week slogan caught the public ear be-
cause VI touched present interest.
The reading habit is increasing. but
there are stili too many thousands who
think reading a trick that tho State
forces them 70 acquire rather than a
pleasure 70 last as "long as life itsoif."

Boat Portage in the Congo.
Strange Railway Built by Belgians

The most inaccessible of the earth's
wildernesscs are easily accessible as far
as their rivers are navigable. II the
rivers were continuously navigable the
remotest depths OF these wildernesses
would BE- readily reached. But in all
such territories the rivers are OF very
unaccomrnodating nature, being inter-
rupted at intervals by waterfalls, rapids,
shadows and other obstacles that make
continuous navigation impossible.
1t Is obvious; therefore, that any
means of making the journey along such
rivers uninterruptedly In the same vessel
would make transportation very much
more rapid and economical. Such q
means has been developed experiment
tally in Belgium for use in the Belgian
Congo. that African colony that is eighty
three times the size Of Belgium itself.
The products OF this vast undevelopcd
territory all have to be transported from
the interior to the coast for export and
1t is now proposed to adopt methods on
the great River Congo that will make
possible uninterrupted transportation
The work has been done under the di-
rection OF the Belgian Government, and
several schemes were tried out OH the
canals near Antwerp. The main feature
of the favored scheme Is vessel that
will travel by either water or land.
Thus where the river Is easily navigablc
II runs along propelled like any other
ordinary steamboat, and when II reaches
any such obstacle TO navigation as a
waterfall. rapid or a shallow It leaves
the water and traverses the obstacle on

brackets that retain the hulls rigidly and

the space between the hulis. and sup

A Literary Romance.

And kissed her lily hand,
And begged blossom from her breas'
While sitting on the sand.
He danced and swan and golfed witt

And at the seasons end
He said good-by In accents far
Too ardent for friend.
She treasured up the memory
OF every tender glance
And deified him IN her heart
Her hero OF romance,
Until alas! she chanced to learn
A fact that sadly shook
Her faith In man---fed etudied her
To put her in a book.
