Paris, Aug. 25 R)--Once enemies at-arms, t6,000 Gormans--eXactly half the total strength of tho French foreign legion-are in Mor- occo fighting the battle of France against the rehcllious Moorish tribesmen.
 Applications from former German soldiers to be permitted 10 lend their aid 10 their former enemies in the warfare against the RifHans. are coming in such numbers that 1t Is Impossible for the French ministry Of war to accept all of them.
 The foreign legion to which the Germans are attached has been in the thickest of the fighting since Abd- El-Krim, the Moroccan war lord, began his offensive, and French officers assert that the Ger mans have given a good account of themselves. They battle in the man. ner of the trained soldiers they are, and 1t is declared that the percent age of assertions Of them to the enemy ranks is not larger than that from among the other nationalities represented in the legion.
