 The Boulevard de la Republiquc is not only the beginning of Algiers proper but also the beginning Of the French quarter. The native quarter lies just beyond it, up the steep hillside. Numerous streets running at right angles to the bou- levard dc la Republique remind the traveller of those of Paris. Plate glass show windows display the lat est French frocks for women, men $ haberdashery and other merchan- disc.

ALG|ERS OBSERVES
 NOVEL CENTENARY
Will Celebrate Tooth AnniYer-
 sary Of Capture by French

Washington, D. C., March - Algiers is donning party clothes. One hundred years ago French troops captured the city Now the French government, proud of it's North African port, is planning to celebrate the event.
 An obscure walled town, cling ing to the steep Mediterranean baak opposite Barcelona, Spain, where raucous coffce-house orchestras and wild tales of adventurous pirates who operated out of this port form- cd the only local excitement, was Algiers until 1S3Q," says bulletin from the Washington, D. C. head quarters of the National Geographic society.
 Vast Harbor Shelters Liners
 To-day Algiers ranks with the busiest ports on the Mediterranean. Terrace above terrace, the dazzling white city rises from the waters edge to the walled citadel that dom- mates Algiors, it's harbor, and the land and sea for many miles be- yond. Each row of houses on streets paralleling the shorelinc thrust at least one story above the roofs of the row in front as if straining for an unhampcrcd view of the harbor.
 Cargo and passenger boats fly an international medley of flags. There arc huge transatlantic boats des- tined for Genoa or Naples; British boats from a half dozen colonies that dot the world; Japanese and Chinese boats dominating many craft from the cast. The French flag is everywhere in Algjers and there are so many French ships in the harbor that natives take their arrival as q matter of daily routine.
 Among the French steamers arc the mail boats which make the 500 mile run from Marseille in less than 24 hours. In d year nearly 5000 ocean greyhounds and more than 10000 Mediterranean coasters stir the blue waters of Algiers harbor, not to mention the many hundreds of smaller local craft that dot the anchorage.
 Commercial Importance
 "Out in the harbor arc boat loads of coal, and hillocks of coal cover large wharves; for Algiers is an im- portant coaling station. Coal is just one of the reasons for q harbor full of boats. Large barrels of Alger- ian wine arc piled, high. Nearby arc piles of smaller barrels, huge mounds of grain-hlled sacks, heaps of boxes packed with luscious dates, and piles of cork bark, the chief eX- port Of Algiers, stacked like cord wood.
 Engines shunt cars from one wharf to another for loading and unloading by half-naked, dark tanned natives; huge wagons, some drawn by six horses and driven by barefootcd, beturbaned. men in sheetlike gowns, come and go in an endless procession: and now and then g. tivc-ton truck driven by an impatient chauffeur attempts to open a gap in the traffic by blow ing d noisy horn.
