With Mars closer to the earth this
week by millions of miles than 1t has
been since 1909. and closer by thou
sands Of miles than for 200 years. the
planet is being bombarded by hun
dreds of pairs Of trained human eyes
peering through the worlds greatest
telescopes. How effective these in
struments are as measured. especial
ly by their effect on the image Of the
moon, our nearest neighbor in space,
is the subject of the following bull
letin from the National Geographic
Society:
The largest telescope in existence,
the 101-inch instrument at Mount
Wilson Observatory. Calf, in effect
brings the moon within so miles of
the earth" continues the bulletin.
Even relatively minor details of the
moons surface can be made out, and
the height of hills and mountains can
be calculated with fair accuracy.
Major features are SO easily recog-
nized that many mountains on the
moon have been named.
Mammoth Holes in Sun.
"If wreck the size Of the il1-fated
Titanic lay on the bottom Of one Of
the dry moon ocean beds 1t would be
visible through the Mount Wilson in
strument. Observations through this
great telescope further emphasize
what smaller instruments had proved,
that the moon is a dry, atmosphereless
world, from which all life has long
since departed. The present condition
of the moon. so plainly shown by the
big telescopes, may indicate what
might happen to the earth unless a
collision with another celestial body
should substitute a sudden end for q
lingering death.

night, that Simon Paper. 51-year-old
Baltimorean, had to lprop his feet

This aroused the suspicion of X, l.

ing with a friend at Pennsylvania
avenue and Twenty-flrst street about
1880 o'clock.
Looks like bootleg" the police
man suggested to his friend.
As soon the driver of the suspected
car, Nathan Coswan, alias Harry Wein-
berg, q; realized he was being followed,

on his car and stepped on the gas.
Potts followed over numerous streets

Friendly Natives Suspected
of Leaning Toward Cause
of Riff Tribesmen.
By the Associated Press.

TETUAN, Morocco, August 22.-The
eHerVescence among the tribesmen
In the western zone of Morocco is
greater now than it has been at any
time since 1921. Excitement even among
the hitherto friendly natives between
Tetuan and Xauen appears to be
spreading, and it is strongly suspect
ed that some, of them have Joined in
the recent attacks upon Spanish
posts.
The entire line from the mouth of
the river Lau to Xauen is a scene
OF constant attacks upon conveys,
while small bands Of tribesmen have
filtered through the ravines abut-
ting the river and reached the main
road leading from Tetuan to Xauen,
which thus is rendered dangerous for
weak parties of troops to pass over.
Tribesmen Beaten.
A recent attack by tribesmen upon
the Spanish post at Amersan, which
is considerable distance behind
Tetuan, ended in defeat for the tribes
men, but only after thdy had in
hicted severe casualties among the
members of the weak native garrison
and the arrival of reinforcements
hurriedly dispatched from Tetuan.
The Spanish position at Chentafa, on
the River Lau, is besieged, but a con-
FOy mas SUCCEEDED In reaching the
post with provisions and reinforce
ments.
A strong column of Spaniards
marching from the River Lau to
Amha has been under an attack by
strong force of the enemy. The
attitude of supposedly friendly tribes
men belonging to the Benz Hozmar,
Beni Hassan, Bent Zeyel and Benz
Said groups is being closely observed,
as .emissaries from the riff tribes
men are endeavoring to incite them
to rise against the Spaniards.
Spanish CONFIDENT.
The Spanish staff, although 1t re>
CARDS the situation as serious, con-
siders that it possesses ample means
to cope with it, especially as rein
forcements are arriving from the
peninsula
The sacred city of xauen, which
forms the southern end OF the front
line, may be considered safe from
direct attack unless the movement
among the tribesmen extends and as
sumes the nature of holy war.
Xauen is the center OF concentration
for large Spanish forcess From there
detachments are being sent out to
hold various outlying Spanish posi-
tions.

COOLIDGE PRAISES
NEGROES SUCCESS
Confident Race wiz Win Full
Political Rights Express
ed in Letter.

Confidence that full political rights
will be won by American negroes
Through the inevitable logic of their
position and rightfulness of their
claims" Is expressed by President
Coolidge in a letter congratulatine
the negro population upon their
economic progress, in a letter to Rob-
ert r. Motion. president of the Ma
tional Business League of Chicago
which was made public at the White
House.
This league, which was founded by
the late Booker T.. Washington, is
about to meet in annual convention
observing the quarter centennial OF
its organization. After paying tribute
70 the leagues founder, President
Coolidge said:
In the accumulation of wealth, es-
tablishment of material independence
and the assumption of a full and
honorable part in the economic life
of the nation. it may fairly be said
that the colored people themselves
have already substantially solved
these phases of their problem. If they
will but go forward along the lines
OF their progress in recent decades
and under such leadership as your
own and many others among their
excellent organizations are affording,
their future cannot be doubted by
any one who knows their accomplish
ments heretofore They will continue
their efforts for educational progress
and spiritual betterment; but, Just as
they demonstrate their eagerness for
such improvement, they will find
themselves enjoying a constantly
greater and greater support and SYM
pathy at the hands Of the whole COM
munity.
"As to the political status and the
future OF the colored people, I cannot
better present my views than by
quoting from a letter which I wrote
a few days ago to a correspondent
who had sought to enlist my infiu-
ence against having a colored man
become a candidate for a congress
sional nomination. In reply, among
other things. said:
Will Uphold Consultation.
1.-The suggestion OF denying any
measure Of their full political rights
to such a great group Of our popu-
1ation as the colored people is one
which, however it might be received
in some other quarters, could not
possibly be permitted by one who
feels their responsibility for living
mp to the traditions and maintaining
the principles of the Republican
party. Our Constitution guarantees
equal rights to all our citizens with
out discrimination on account Of race
or color. I have taken my oath to
support that Constitution. It is the
source Of your rights and my rights
propose to regard it, and administer
it, as the source Of the rights of all
the people, whatever their belief or
race
II stand on that statement and be-
lieve 1t marks the line along which
the colored people will advance to
the full establishment of their right
full political status. Just as emanci-
patton from slavery was granted by
the immortal Lincoln, so is economic
emancipation being splendidly,
wrought out by. the colored people
for themselves; SO l. believe their
full political, rights will be won
through the inevitable logic of their
position and rightfIlness OF their
claimA.

 CEASE TO EXIST
Go Out Practically Un- changed From Previous
 Days Closing Price

NEW YORK, May 2es-May con tracts ceased to exist in the cotton market at noon today, going out at 31.9Sc, or practically unchanged from the previous night and PTS points over the July position. The rest of the trad ing was irregular throughout the day, showing periods of considerable strength during which. July reached 2s.45c and October 26.14c, or 1T 10 22 tions that left the market finally 5 points net lower to 2 points higher, with the tone barely steady.
 The market opened easy and 17 to 26 points lower, reflecting bearish ca bles and somewhat better crop and weather news. cs
 Notices on about Il 900 bales for, de- livery made the total amount deliv- cred so far this month upwards of 60,000 bales. The decline, which car ried July to 2e.90c and October to 25. TIC, attracted good deal of buying from Wall street interests following private advices which complained of cool nights and backward condition of the crop, Demand also was stimulated by a cou- pie of private condition reports, one of which was 67.0 and the other 66.4, with the acreage increase estimated at only 3 to 4.5 per cent. This buying advanced prices to the highest of the day from which there was a late set- back influepced mainly by profit talk ing operations.
