them was threatened with a quick end
ing. Slowly, through some very trying
years, the French occupied the coun-
try, policing 1t and bringing in their
wake peace, security and prosperity.
Finally, in 1914, some months before
the outbreak Of the great war. the
Ouergha Valley came to have its turn
and the pickings of the bandits grew
to be more difficult.
Meanwhile the Spanish pushed for
ward, their zone Occupying all the
country Of Djebalas. from Tetouan TO
Chechouan. One may say what one
likes about Spanish colonization meth
DDS as practiced in America, but all
the Spanish administration In Mo-
rocco. Here, under the influence of
German financiers. aided by German
engineers, the work has been admir-
able. In Chechouan alone. in less than
four years, the Spanish paid out mil
lions of dollars for the construction
of water and sewerage systems, and for
building roads. reclaiming swamps and
planting forests.
MoOrs Win Over Spanish.
In 1921 Add -el- -Krim led a revolt
against the Spanish administration
and especially against Spanish control
of banditry Through the weakness
of the central government in Spain
and the criminal negligence and in
competence of Spanish generals in the
field, the Moors quickly obtained a
decisive advantage. All the central
part of the Spanish zone in Morocco,
exactly that part which hitherto had
been the stronghold of banditry, came
under Add el. .krim's control, which
soon overspread the western country
of Djebalas toward AlcaZar, Larache
and the Atlantic.
By the end of 1924 Add l-Krim had
solidly established control all over the
northern zone, with the exception of a
few insignificant coast towns and the
western plain between Tangier and
Larache. His covetous eyes then
turned toward the enticing riches of
the French zone. which for so many
years had furnished easy pickings for
his ancestors.
The weakness and the unbelievable
lack of foresight Of the then French
government, the advanced age of Gen.
Lyautey, the French commissioner
and the smallness and the dispersion
of the French military forces all com
bined to lead Abd-el-Krim to believe
that the French zone would fall into
his hands az easily as had the Spanish
zone, and would furnish rich pillage.
His dreams even went so far that he
pictured himself sacking the rich
cities of Fez, Meknes, Rabat and Casa
blanca.
Without warning last Spring he as
sailed the French line. and, despite
the strenuous, superhuman efforts of
the outnumbered and overwhelmed
French. he succeeded in capturing 70
outposts. putting the garrisons to tor
ture and death.

SWEENEY RESENTS
CRITICISM AT HOME
Flyer Explains His Connec-
tion With French Army
in Morocco.
BY COL. CHARLES SWEENEY.

Special correspondent of The Star and
the Chicago Daily News and leader of the
American lying SQUADRON.
QUEZZAN. Morocco. October 27-
Since the entirely uncalled- for, vicious,
ScurrilouS attack on the personality
Of the American flyers engaged with
the French has drawn the attention
of the American public to the Moroc-
can war. it might be of use To state
briefly some basic facts. Otherwise
the public is almost certain to arrive
at false opinion. if one is to judge
from the amount of misleading infor-
nation that has been published.
First, the Riffs are not fighting in
defense of their homeland. This is
clear when one considers that up TO
the present all the fighting between
the French and the Riffs has taken
place on French territory. Secondly
the Riffs are not defending their lib
erty against the savage attacks Of
harbariouS French who desire TO re
duCe them to slavery ADD ell krim

made on the part of the French in
July, when they offered him peace
terms guaranteeing him liberty and
autonomy and asking only one thing
namely, the evacuation of the terri
tory he had invaded.

Nutrition of Teeth More Necessary
Than Avoiding Candy, Advise Dentists

The Hopkins dental clinic was es-
tablished a yer ago last October, with
the idea of associating the dental work
with the hospital, where diseases of all
kinds, those Of adults as well as those
of children, are studied.
The relation Of bad teeth to disease
has been studied. Now all patients Of
the children's department must pass
through the dental clinic before they
are discharged.
Adults as we'll as children are treat

in June, ADD krim seemed overcome
by the natural fear of a mountaineer

of warfare lose at least half their
efficiency He hesitated, and lost. 1t
is a secret to no one here that had ne
advanced boldly In June Taxa, Fee
and perhaps all Morocco to the coastal
plain would have been his. Since then
he has been beaten back slowly until
now his day of punishment Is about
to dawn. The French are approaching
the Benz Ourigel frontiers, and soon
the price for savage pillage and muir
der must be paid.
1t is at this stage that we see the
outbreak Of this anti-French cam
paign, which has chosen us Ameri-
cans as it's first targets.
Americans do not seem to under
stand the real significance Of this war.
Since the end of the great conflict of
1918 close students of the Mediter-
ranean political situation have been
struck by the everinCreasing wave of
revolt of native races against Euro
pean preponderance. Tripoi, Egypt,
Syria. Smyrna and Thrace form
chain which leads to Morocco. This
conflict is a struggle of civilization
against barbarism, of progress against
pillage, of Christianity against Mo
hammeda nism.
Why the Americans Fight.

anxious to uphold these principles,

Vegetables and fruit juices contain

COburn Came Out
Uniniured Bates Game
ESPECIAL to Kennebec JournaD

Especial to kenneDec JOURNAL
waterville, Oct. 26.-Coach Ike
Haines had his Coburn football waIe
riors out today on Libby Field. Every
member who took part in the Bates
game last Friday came out for the
fray in fine shape. Several members
who had minor injuries last week de-
ported to be in good condition yester-
day afternoons practice.
The practice yesterday consisted
mainly of interference and tackling.
The boys soon got this down to perfec-
ton and little time was spent in fall
ing on the ball.
Team A lined up and ran through
light signal drill until they were well
warmed up Then Team B lined up
against Team A for dummy scrim-
image. The teams plays were well
perfected by this scrimmage and the
boys will have these plays well in
hand by the end of this week.
Coach Heines will work his men TO
the utmost this week as on Friday
they will meet tough opponent in the
Lynn team from Massachusetts. The
Coburn pigskin chasers are IN the best
Of condition and at present are playing
together like a machine, which means
trouble for the boys from Massachu-
sets.
The Coburn team will probably
scrimmage with Winslow High school
some day this week and this will as
siSt the team in many respects, as the
local high school has a very good team
and many weak spots can be corrected
on each team.

Sen. Borah Again
Declares France
Should Pay War Debt

Washington, Oct. 70. - (AP)-
without specific authorization from
the American people, congress has
no right to unload" the foreign war
debts on the taxpayers of the United
States, Chairman Borah of the SEN
ate foreign relations committee de-
clared in a letter sent today to
Charles Piez, president of the Illi-
nois Manufacturers Association.
Replying to communication from
Mr.. Piez suggesting that the Ameri-
can debt commission should have &C
cepted the recent French offer of
settlement, Senator Borah said the
money loaned to France was obtain
ed from the American people under
very specific pledge that the loans
would be repaid with reasonable in
terest"
Calling attention that since the
war France has maintained an
army of from 100000 to 1,OOO,OOG
men; that she now has 100000 SOL
diers fighting the Riffs, and that she
has loaned large sums to other coun-
tries to maintain military establish
ments, Senator Borah declared he
did not feel 1t was any part of his
duty to put the load of the present
imperialistic war and Frances mill
tary establishment upon the taxpay-
ers of the United States"

Colby Pessinlistic
Cross Country Chances

Especial to the Kennebec JournaD
waterville, Me-, Oct. 26-The green
Colby cross country team has nm
ished it's period of hard training and
will be given nothing but light ex-
ercise during the rest Of the week
in preparation for, the Maine Inter-
collegiate Cross country Champion
ship to be held at Orono next Fri
day. The men are all in good con-
dition and Coach Ryan has given
them their final strenuous workout:
The team is composed entierly OF
new men. Capt. Brundo Is mile
runner and is doing cross country
work as building up for the mile IN
the spring. Even in spite OF TINS
fact he is the best man on the team.
The prospect of the championship
coming to Waterville is much less
this year than it has been for a
long time. There is no material IN
the college from which to build
cross country team and those VINO
are at present on the squad survlv-
ed the cut Of last week not on their
own merits but because of the lack
of competition.
The University of Maine is figured
as winner of the race both from the
standpoint of the team and the IN
diyidual winner. Hillman Of the pale
Blue is generally conceded the indl-
yidual honors because of his show
ing last year when he finished sec
ond in the national championship.

Pupil of Milton
Wins Motor Classic
On Laurel Speedway

Laurel, Nd, Oct. 26.-(AP)-Bob
McDonough, youthful protege OF
Tommy Milton, today won his hrst
major motor classic, the 25o mile
race at the Baltimore-Laurel speed
way, and in doing SO took sweet re-
yenge on Peter de Paolo for the
hairline decision the latter scored
over him in the inaugural race IN
the huge wooden bowl here in July.
Nursing limping motor through
the last % miles of the grind. NC
Donough was forced to see his two
lap lead, gained in the first oO
miles of the race, when De Paolo
was forced into the pits for a tire
change, fade into a bare 2OO-yards
at the finish line. With but three
laps to 60 the terrific pace set by
the leader caused his motor to ease
almost to q dead stop. Backfring
and sputtering, the balky engine re-
gained it's power just in time to head
the flying Italian to checkered flag.
This thrilling climax of spectac-
ular race probably cost McDonough
a world record for % miles on a
wooden track. AS 1t was, his time
for the distance, hour, SO minutes,
2.71 seconds, in which he averaged
1860 miles an hour, was but a frac-
ton behind the record of 1855
miles an hour set by Tommy Milton
at the Culver City track some time
ago. McDonough drove the distance
today without stop.
The remainder of the field of 16
entries, with the sole exception of
McDonough's team-mate, Tommy
Milton. were never serious contend
ers. Ten of the men failed to fin
ish because of motor troubles. Mil
ton took third place, several laps
behind the leaders.
