youths who spend the daylight hours
behind bank counters or selling ribbons.
Their assignment Is to watch the late
diners. and a the wines are being cooled

seem lonely.
The OFFER always is addressed TO the
male companion, who, reassured by the
appearance OF the dancer. usually as

London. Aug. q.
What is perhaps the last monster
steamship the white Star Line will
build-the $4,000 ton Majestic-is near
ing completion, it has just been an
nounced here. 1t was said that she
will take her place in the fleet beside
the Olympic in the express-p passenger
service between New York, Cherbours
and Southampton next spring.
Lord Pirrie, head of the White Star
Line, has about decided that there is
more profit from the operation OF
steamships of between 10000 and 30
900 tons than in the monsters. and, al
though competition with the Cunard
Line compels the White Star to oper-
ate some very large vessels, the re-
mainder of their fleet will be composed
of smaller vessels.
45O Fire Alarm Boxes.
In view of tho experience of the Maure-
tania in connection with fire recently. the
White Star Line has announced that the
Majestic Is equipped with an especially
efficient fire fighting system. There are
no less than 450 fire alarm boxes aboard
the Ship and smoke In any part of the
vessel can be detected Immediately from
the bridge, where the temperature also Is
recorded and whence the entire system
of watertight and fireproof doors can be
controlled. The steel bulkheadS are
painted with a special composition capa-
BILE of resisting heat of $500 degrees
Fahrenheit.
There are three independent sets OF
wireless and elaborate postwar develop
ments in submarine listening and signal
ling devices.
For the comfort of passengers, special
anti-rolling ballast tanks are installed,
and the dining room floor is constructed
on a special system Of girders to OBJ
viate vibration.
The Majestic is equipped with about
thirty miles of ventilating ducts. Fans
Will be operated by electricity. She has
an electric lighting plant. with emergency
auxiliaries, which would do credit "a

1t was stated recently that neither the

Germany.

Nine steel Decks.

The length of the Majestic is 956
feet over all. She has nine steel decks
five Of them extending from end to end
of the vessel and four running half her
length A novel feature Of her construc-
ton is that the fiues from her oil burn
ing boilers go up the sides Of the ship. IN
stead of through her centre. thus per-
mitting a fine, free sweep of the great
public rooms on the centre and upper
decks. The use of oil for fuel repre-
sents the last concession by the White
Star Line, as Lord Pirrie believes that
the coal supply is far more certain than

MADRID, Aug. Thousands OF
Spanish soldiers have been slain or
captured. Spain's hold on her Moroccan
area badly shaken and her military
prestige sorely weakened, all because
an impetuous Spanish General made
use of his fists and feet in rejecting
an appeal from a Moorish sheik.
The sheik is a man in his thirties-
Ab-del-Krim of the tribe Of Benz Bur-
riaghel. The General was Fernandez
Silvestre, commandant at Melilla.
Head of the most warlilse Of all the
tribes inhabiting the rocky heights,
Ab-del-Krim studied law and Arab
literature at the University of Fez and
practised before the mixed court at
Melilla. He speaks and writes Spanish
perfectly.
Some time ago several sheiks addressed
a petition to the commandant at Melilla
demanding autonomy for Riff under the
patronage OF the Sultan Of Fez and OF
Spain. Gen. Silvestre threw this petit
ton on the ground and stamped on II.
The sheiks left him deeply offended and
soon afterward the tribesmen rebelled.
The New York herald., 1921-08-28
sheik Dismissed with Kick.

Ab-del-Krim then went to the General
explained the situation, and advised him
10 favor what the sheiks had asked for.
Gen. Silvestre flew into a rage and dis
missed the sheik with kicks and blows.
The native official left, bleeding from the
mouth and nose. But before he went his
way he covered his index finger with
his own blood and wrote across the
door Of the Generals house the word
vengeance" in Arabic.
Then he hastened to place himself at
the head or the tribesmen and aroused
the whole of Riff. urging the buying of
modern rifles and machine guns and the
teaching OF modern war tactics to the
men. When everything was ready he
struck the blow of which the world
knows.
Ab-del-Krim Is not only a cultivated
and intelligent man, but hts ideas are
progressive and he desires his people 10
become civilized He has perfected Is
clpline among his troops and has for
bidden the maltreatment of prisoners
fIe has prescribed severe penalties Tor
the killing OF noncombatants, and dur
ing the uprising has cared for numerous
Spanish families and has sent them to
Melilla.
In Spain just now nobody thinks OF
anything except the disaster at the
hands OF the Riff tribesmen. The Mo-
roccan problem. with all that is depend
ing upon II. Is the great and only pre-
occupation Of the entire country.
