WASHINGTON, Feb. 27. - Ralsull the Moorish bandit who has just again offered to surrender to the Spanish military forces which are pushing an active campaign against him in Mo- rocco, is the man who once drew the United States into action in that vexed corner of the world.
 He figured in that celebrated incl dent when Secretary of State John Hay demanded "Perdicaris alive or Raisuli dead"
 That was r years ago. in 1904. Raisuli had captured Ion Perdicaris, naturalized American citizen and kept him prisoner President Roose- welt sent a fleet of eight American war vessels stripped for action into Tangier Harbor while John Hay sent his famous message to the feeble Sul- tan in nominal command there.
 Raisuli, who now says he is "too fat to fight" had long been leader of the wild tribesmen, who have ire quently swampel the trained bat talions of civilized power.
 Perdicaris, wealthy man., was president of the European commission administering affairs in Tangier City in 1904. He has told the story Of his capture and it was recounted some time ago in a National Geographic So- ciety Bulletin. He was snatched out of his summer home by Raisull's raid erns, and bore off to a mountain stronghold.
 From there, the chieftain proceed ed to open up negotiation with the Sultan of Morocco, Perdicaris' family. and eventually in indirect fashion with the American government, concerning the price to be paid for his captive. The United States cut short the chaf- fering in the fashion described. The Sultan, panic stricken, sent $70,OOO in silver to Raisuli, appointed him gov ernor of district, turned loose some of his friends from Tangier jaiis, and incarcerated some of Raisuli's enc mics in their place. Perdicaris later returned to the United States to ex- press his thanks.
 Prosperity, however, came close to | ruining his erstwhile captor, Raisull He got into quarrel with the Sultan about his governorship, was thrown out, and promptly retaliated by bear ing off for ransom aid Sir Henry NC Lean. British commander of the Mo- roccoan army. He arrayed his tribes men for battle, and descended upon the coast, doing much damage to Eu ropean interests, and in 1907, succeed ed in setting all the hair-triggers ir European diplomacy.
 | The French navy bombarded one o1 his captive towns, Casablanca, the now practically extinct Kaiser Wilhelm came to bat shifting undue French ex pansion in prospect, but the matter was strengthened out in a counci chamber instead of on battlefield Raisuli was chased back to his noun tain fastness, but news dispatches every few years record another of hi' eruptions.
 "In many respects the man interest ed and attracted me in spite of all mc natural motives for dislike" Perdi
 caris says of Raisuli in the Geographic
 society's report. "Raisuli was gra
 cious and dignified. not to us only, bu
 to his own wild adherents, who evl
 dently idolized their chietain. who's
 position among them seemed that of
 head of highland clan in olden times
 He was quick to see the humorous as
 pect of situation, while his reparte
 was as immediate and to the poin
 as though he had been born in th' County Galway.

LONDON, Feb. 27.-Centuries ago the Queen of Sheba created mild sen sation in Egypt, and today London is stirred with controversy concerning this same beautiful queen,
 An American motion picture version of the life of the Queen of Sheba is the basis for the present controversy raging between the churchmen of London and certain motion picture in- terests.
 1 The film, which was shown through out the United States without creat- ing an uproad, has caused a sensation in London which is ranking with in- ternational politics in the afternoon tea table gossip. '
 Dr. F. B. Meyer, pastor of Christ Church, one of the leaders of the clergy Of London, was in the van when

fire was opened on the filmed Bibli. cal history.
 Tt tends to discredit the Bible with the general crowd" declared Dr. Meyer in attacking the film produc tion. "Why blast the character of the Queen of sheba by presenting her as a 'half-clothed courtesan?"
 Defenders of the film were quick to come to the front, and to make mat ters worse they compared the garb oi the film star depicting the Queen oi Sheba with the evening creations worn in London theaters and restaurants by the leaders of English society. Moth ing could have been said to aggravate the matter more.
 The merry discussion goes on. The American film continues to draw large crowds.

WHEN FIRE SWEEPS PRAIRIE
Man and Beast Suffer Alike Under
Bllsterng Heat, and the Prayer
for Rain Goes Up.

Hot sunlight, winds as hot, as
shimmerlng heat which distorted OBJ
jects at a distance and made the sky
line dazzling, wavering ribbon of
faded blue; and then the dull haze of
smoke which hung over the land, and
without tempering the heat, turned
the sun into huge coppery balloon
which drifted imperceptibly from the
east to the west, and at evening time
settled softly down upon a parched
hilltop and disappeared, leaving be-
hind it an Ominous red glow as Of
hidden fires, B. NJ. Bower writes In
Lonesome Land"
When the wind blew, the touch OF 1t
scared the face as the smoke tang as
sailed the nOstrils. All the world was
weird, unnatural TINT hard to name,
never to be forgotten. The far hOri-
ION drew steadily closer as the days
passed slowly and thickened the veil
of smoke. The distant mountain drew
daily back into DINNER distance; be-
came an obscure, fOrmless blot against
the sky and vanished completely. The
horizon crouched then upon the bluffs
across the river, moved up to the line
of trees along its banks, blotted them
out one day and impudently estab-
lished itself halfway up the cOulee.
Time ceased to be measured accur-
ately; events moved slowly in an I'M
real world Of sultry heat and smoke
and a red sun wading heavily through
the cOpper-brOwn sky from the east to
the west, and a moon as red which
followed meekly after.
Men rode uneasily here and there,
and when they met they talked of
prairie fires and fire guards and the
direction of the wind, and of the faint
prospect of rain. Cattle, driven from
their accustomed feeding grounds,
wandered aimessly over the Stll-un-
burned range and lowed often in the
night as they drifted before the flame
heated wind,
