to mere shell to such an extent that
it is doubtful if its great guns could
be fired without disaster. Moreover, it
is said that, while there is no surface
to serve as an airplane base, Gibraltar
is altogether defenseless against well
directed attack from the air. On these
grounds it is urged that the holding Of
Gibraltar is useless, if not danger
Gus, liability. 4s.es
That, however, is not the general
view, and it is certain that any pro-
posal to eyacuate Gibraltar, or even
any change in the status of Tangier
which might be thought to affect ad
versely the British position there,
would raise popular storm in this
country With French and Spanish
opinion equally worked up on the sub
ject of Tangier, it can be seen that
the problem which the three-nation
conference in London next month has
to settle is a delicate one, containing
explosive possibilities il not very care

New-York tribune., 1922-07-16

however, the Spanish reverses COM
plicate the position. On top of the
blow to her national pride which she
has suffered Spain will certainly be
less disposed than ever to assent to
a new dispensation for Tangier
which would still further diminish her
prestige.
Clash Over Proximity
OF Tangier to Gibraltar
England's interest in the question is
wholly due, of course, to the proximity
Of Tangier to the Rock of Gibraltar.
That famous fortress commanding the
passage between the Atlantic and the
Mediterranean is regarded as a vital
link of the British Empire. In the eyes
of the general British public it has
an almost legendary reputation as a
symbol, as it were, of imperial i'm
pregnability. An important section of
military opinion here, however, holds
that the present value of Gibraltar
is altogether exaggerated. Honey
combing, it is declared, has reduced it

Then at o'clock on the morning of
June 80 an official bulletin issued from
headquarters of the Free State troops
described the capture of the greater
part of the Four Courts, and said
tlat in a desire to save the lives of
those in the buildings special precau-
tions were being taken. The fact that
TIE casualties to the irregulars were
not heavy was due to the skill with
which the attacking party conducted
its operations.
The crisis in the memorable three
days fighting came, however, when a
terrific explosion occurred within the
! Four Courts building, shattering por-
tions of the structure. Thirty Free
State troops were killed as we'll as an
undetermined number of rebels within
Iron, mortar and official papers from
the Hall of Records were scattered over
the city. The explosion was attributed
to the discharge of large supplies of
ammunition, which the rebels had ac-
cumulated, by the conclusion of an ex.
ploding shell.

a frequent source of European trouble,
and Tangier merely is living up to its
old reputation in coming into the in
ternational picture again as focus of
discord. A smallish town, with a pop
ulation mostly Moors and Spanish
Jews, situate on bay of the Strait
of Gibraltar thirty-eight miles south
west of the British stronghold of "the
Rock" it has had checkered career.
Taken in 1471 by the Portuguese, it was
given to Charles II of England as part
of the dowry of Catherine of Bra
ganza. England retained it till $685.
The port subsequently became a
nest of pirates. Aside from the raids
of these corsairs into northern Euro
pean waters, Tangier and the rest of
Morocco after that pass out of Euro
pean history until the early years of
the present century. Spain, Morocco s

thing of the past, there is clear case
for reopening the question. Perhaps
the most serious factor which in

however, is that, while administration

parts of French north Africa, has been
Increasingly efficient and successful,
the position in the Spanish zone sur
rounding Tangier has gone steadily
from bad to worse.
The uprising of the Moors in the
Spanish zone last summer committed
Spain to a campaign which was pro-
tracted and very costly alike in lives
and treasure! Much Of the ground
then lost is still unregained, important
Spanish positions are closely invested
and many of their prisoners remain in
the hands of the rebels. But accord
ing to the latest advices from Madrid
the Spanish government has decided to
reduce the military effort in Morocco
and institute change of policy. This
implies confession of failure that is
very calling to Spanish pride, and is
felt very acutely by the people who
consented to the heavy sacrifices de-
manded since last summer. 1t is rec
ognized in Madrid, at the same time,
that it would be folly to continue such

France fears that the disorder among

spread into her own protectorate in Mo-

pressed, is that if Spain is not capable
of keeping order in this zone the task
should be intrusted to other hands;

present Spanish z6ne. In one sense,

To Be Slain by Splinter

| ting wood for the kitchen range that
he met with the injury that led to
his death.
During his residence at Hallekis DR..
Kapp proved to be anything but the
fre-eating Prussian junker he had
been pictured. At one crucial point
during the great war he challenged
Chancellor Bethmann- Hollweg to a
duel, and after peace was restored he
planned to crush the unstable German
Socialist regime with typical Prussian
ruthlessness. He actually captured
Berlin, drove the Ebert government to
Dresden, and ruled over the German
capital for five days. Kapp was ac-
cused Of being a reactionary, working
for the ultimate restoration of the
monarchy, but he always strongly de-
MED this.
The Swedes of the Hallekis COM
munity who had supposed DR.. Kapp
to be roaring Prussian of the most
obnoxious military type, found him a
courteous and charming old gentleman
I.He was kindly, democratic and very
sociable, frequently visiting the neigh
boring farms and chatting with the
farmers and their workmen, among
whom he became very popular. His
tendency to mingle on terms OF
equality with all classes probably re-
suited from his early American train
ing, DR.. Kapp having spent his early
youth in New York City, where he was
born in 1852. The people who best
knew DR.. Kapp in Sweden described
him as model neighbor and genial
gentleman.

vened to q limited extent on the Moor
ish coast directly facing her, but it was
not until France began to extend her
sphere of influence in northern Africa
that Morocco in general and Tangier in
particular became a serious cause of
European friction.
French Rule Recognized
BY England in 1904
By an Anglo-French convention con-
cluded in 1904 the right of France,
which by this time had acquired con-
siderable interests in Morocco, to pro-
mote administrative reforms in that
country were recognized by England.
Difficulties were raised by Germany,
which also had certain commercial in
terests in the country, but these were
ironed out for the time being by con-
ference held at Algeciras in 1905. Six
years later, however, in the summer of
1911, German warship appeared sud
denly off Agadir, a seaport on the Moor
ish Atlantic coast, by way of backing up
protest against the policy Of France
in Morocco.
The "Agadir incident" as it was
called, very nearly antedated the out
break of the European war by three
years. Lloyd George, in famous
speech at the London Guildhall, de-
clared that England would stand by
France on the question. For day or
two it was touch and go whether there
would be peace or war; but Germany
was not yet quite ready for war,
and when her bluff was called she
backed down and withdrew the war
ship from Aeadir. In the upshot OF
the incident she had to agree to what
was virtually a French protectorate
New-York tribune., 1922-07-16

over Morocco-this was soon after
made formal-while France, in 1912,
concluded treaty with Spain recogniz-
ing Spanish interests in the northern
zone of Morocco.
Too many powers were interested in
Tangier, however, for the status of
that town to be so easily settled. The
problem Of what to do with it really
was shelved. Under the terms of the
Franco-Spanish agreement Of 1912
Tangier, with zone to landward of it
on all sides, was "internationalized"-
the usual diplomatic formula for side
tracking an awkward question-being
declared autonomous under an inter
national council and a municipality.
The port has at present sort of sus-
+ ended international status-suspended
because the war came along and held
up the work of the international COM
mission, which was engaged in drawing
up the statute. France and England
were agreed to the draft, but Spain
put forward reservations. The draft of
the statute has never been published,
and the work of the commission, sus-
pended on the outbreak of war, has not
been resumed.
A new postwar factor, however, has
made its appearance. The French link
up the problems of Tangier and of
Of 1888, they say, the Suez Canal

the inside. At dawn the republicans
had sent out emissaries asking for
terms, but the reply was refusal AS
the battle progressed the republicans
withdrew to the rear of the buildings.
Several subterranean passages lead out
of the structure, and through these
some of the rebels escaped before the
building was blown up.
With the building almost demolished
and many of the rebels in fight, a
temporary truce was arranged. The
dead and wounded were removed from
the ruined buildings, which were visited
quickly by physicians, nurses and
stretcher bearers, who performed val
liant service throughout the rest of the
day.
Taking time to viaw the hopeless
ness of their case the republican sur.
vivors finally hoisted the white fagl
over small part of the stronghold
remaining in their hands, and the order
to cease firing was given on both sides.
At $3.50 o'clock this day Ernest
O'Malley on behalf of the rebel garri-
son surrendered to the Free State
troops, the acceptance being made for
the latter by General ODaly. General
Rory O'Connor and Liam Mellowes
leaders of the revolving forces, were
made prisoner. In all 10 prisoners
were taken, among the number other
we'll known rebel leaders. De Valera
was among those who escaped.
