MELILLAA, Morocco, April 14-Mc-e
than 1000 unburied bodies of Spanish
soldiers lie IN the vicinity of Oar
Quebdani, the position recently re-
captured from the Moroccans. ac-
cording to reports reaching here
from native sources. These bodies
are scattered along a line four kilo-
meters In length over valleys and
broken ground.
The bodies are still in uniform, but
their pockets have been turned in
side out and rif1ed, these reports say.
This Is all that remains of the gar
rison commanded by Col. Araujo
which occupied Darquebdani before
the disaster inflicted upon Spanish
troops by the Moorish tribesmen last
July.
As the Spanish troops advance in their
new drive they see evidence of the
results of the Beni-Urriaguel chief
tains' efforts to inspire confidence in
the Moroccan inhabitants. THE inhab-
itants have believed the assurances
of the chieftains that the Spaniards
would never again set foot upon their
territory. Consequently, tney had
sowed crops and were disagreeably
surprised when the Spanish columns
advanced and destroyed their grow
ing grain.
AS a result there are behind the

night upon the Spanish tents in en-
deavors to steal cattle and supplies.

LETTERS FROM
THE PEOPLE

Editor Times-Recorder: | noticed
in your paper some time ago an arti-
Gle written by a prominent citizen
agitating a reduction in rates on fire
insurance in the city of Americas,
which | think was a good move and
appreciated by every man who owns
property and has insurance on same
and think the time is ripe for an
other movement toward making liv.
ing in Americas possible" y
| have reference to the man who
owns property and is renting it sout
to the salaried man at an exhorbitant
price of rent. In order to make
Americas more attractive to the in
dividual there must be reduction in
rents and that at once. Nearly every
other line of the necessarits. of life
have been reduced but rents-and 1T
still hangs on the same, notwith-
standing the fact that men are being
cut off without work every day
While the remainder are having their
salaries cut to such an extent that 1t
renders them unable to pay their bills
that are necessary, and meet the
price of rents that landlords are
charging
This is the next step that should be
taken up for the welfare of Amcri-
Gus salaried men who are trying to
rear family, buy clothing, pay light
bills, coal bills, water bills, insurance
and a number OF other incidental 81
pcnses and then pay their grocery
bills and pay $500 for house that
should rent for $500 and $4,000 for
one that should rent for $500
Yours truly, CITIZEN.
