END TO SPANISH DIRECTORY


Indications Point To Overthrow OF
Primo DE Riyera's Regime
Despite the barrier Of censorship IN
Spain, reports are multiplying TO the
effect that Primo de Rivera's directory
is likely to be oyeFthrown. The new
governments undeniable success IN
purifying the political and economic
system has not given 1t sufficient pres
tige to compensate for its failure to
solve the Morocco problem and to reduce
the cost of living.
Though the conditions Of the national
finances has been somewhat improved,
there liz no possibility Of wiping out
the deficit until the Morocco campaign
is brought to close. The cost of liy-
ing continues to rise aud is causing
great discomfort am6hg the common
people. Madrid at times. has been en-.
tirely without potatoesk and the local
papers are filled with protests AGAINST
the inefficiency of certain municipal
services. For instances, there is an
acute shortage of water.
Rumors are current Of dissenslon be.
tween the king and Primo de Rivera.
At the same time 1t is propbesied that
the overthrow of the directory-if 1t
occurs, as seems probable, through Il
coup d'etat--will mean the simultane-
Gus overthrow of the monarchy and the
establishment of a republic.
This does not imply that the directory
has been a consistent opponent %
democracy. Indeed in their fight
against caciquismO, or the municipal
boss system, the present authorities
seem 10 have made a sincere effort to
liberalize the city gOvernments.-Liv-

Kermit Roosevelt. In Moscow. Met a
Man Of Many Adventures
While we we're waiting in one office
in Moscow little Turk strutted up and
entertained us for an hour with tales
Of adventure. He had dilapidated pass
ports to prove that he had been almost
eyerythfng-a colonel in the Turkish
army. a colonel in the Red army, and
at odd times sailor before the mast.
He had lived all over the world and
could talk with knowledge Of the Philip
pines, the Argentine. Brazil. Mexicof the
United States, and almost anywhere else
you chose.
He claimed to have served on the bOr-
der in the American army and to have
formed part of Pershihg's expedition
into Mexico. He gave a detailed de-
scription of how he had. for a consider
alton. murdered a famous Turkish gem
eraI, and several other little peccadilloes
Of like nature that he had committed.
He said that he was tired of Russia
and was trying to get back to AnatOlia
where he had two wives waiting, but
that he would leave more than that num-
Der in Russia.
At first l thought him to be a mem
Der of the secret police trying to get
our opinions on things Russian, but as
he did all the talking himself this
conld hardly have been the case.-Ker-
