By the Associated Pre % LONDON, August 9.—The Spanish disaster in Morocco is, in the opinion of military observers here, of such a nature as to preclude the Spaniards from regain military control of their lost territry except after a long and costly campaign. According to the me er reports which are p: ing the Spanish censorship, the Spaniards re- fain now virtually no territory in this eustern Moroccan area, with the ex- Seption of the fortified city of Melilla, on the coast, before which the tribes- men are sitt Melilla, with its citadel, position, and the experts is in a strong y the Span- jards should be able to maintain them- | providing the morale of selves here, 1 pd the population is not the troops shattered.

Among the diseases which may be imparted by the house fly are typhoid fever, diarrhoea, dysen- tery tuberculosis, ‘diphtheria, in- fantife paralysis, smallpox and anthrax. The fact that flies may carry any one of these diseases is sufficiant to condemn them to the swatter. in the opinion of the health officer. It is far easier and cheaper, the health officer pointed out, to pre- vent disease than to fight it after it has gained a foothold. Acting on this theory, Dr. Fow- lear again appealed to all Wash- ingtonians to regard the fly as a menace as much as the burglar who attempts to steal household ° effects. that the column has lost two killed and ten wounded in defending _the convoy carrying the munitions. . It is declared the Spanish have established themselves- in positions dominating the town of Gourougou. Gen. Navarro, whose death was re- ported here yesterday, apparently is still alive and still directing the de- fense of Mount Arruit. The official statement issued last night declared that the work of taking provisions to Mount Arruit, which has been carried on by airplane. continues, but it is added the enemy is showing increased activity. | Storm Hampers Landing.

HEADS WARNED. JUST LIKE BURGLAR, i THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C., TUESDAY, AUGUST 9, 1921 MEXIGAN GENERAL Jose Alessio Robles, Brother of Minister to Spain, Set on by Five Men. CLIMAX.TO CONTROVERSY Had Been Quoted by Newspaper in Attack on Gen, Trevino as Saying He Refused Duel. By the Associated Press, MEXICO CITY, August 9.—Gen. Jose Alessio Robles, brother of the Mexican minister to Spain and to the editor of the newspaper El Demo- crata, was shot and killed last eve- {ning as he drove in his automobile through one of the main streets in i the residence section of this city. Five |armed men took part in the attack which ended in-the death of Gen. Robles. Following the tragedy, Gen. Jacinto Trevino, director of the fed- eral commission revising army serv- ice records, placed himself at the dis- posal of the police and is sald to have been held upon his own recog- nizance. The cause of the attack upon Gen. Robles is declared to have a declara- tion purporting to have been made by him, published yesterday morning, in which he criticised Gen. Trevino, who has been bitterly attacked by the newspaper El Untversal for seve- ral days. This newspaper's charges against Gen. Trevino caused him to threaten Felix F. Palavicini, editor of the Journal, who retaliated by print- ing many interviews with prominent Mexicans sustaining his right to criti- cise public officials. Gen. Robles was among those quoted this morning. He | not only assailed Gen. Trevino as an officer, but declared Gen. Trevino had refused to fight a duel with him. El Universal Guarded. placed over the piant of El Univer: last night, and entrance to the building was obtained only after proper identification. The quarrel between Gen. Trevino and Senor Palavicini has been one of l_h? most interesting incidents in this city for may months. The editor pub- lished the entire series of communica- tions between himself and the gen- eral, including the latter’s threat to castigate on sight in the editor for his nlleg_cd unjust charges. Senor Pala- vicini responded with the declaration that he carried a gun and would shoot on sight Gen. Trevino. or any of his friends who made any untoward move.

SLAININ HIS AUTO) acaiciona st | LORD BRYCE CITES FORCES THAT "WORK FOR PEACE OR WAR™ atement Regarding Faults He Impuges to Peace Treaty—Final Word to Tittoni. WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass., August 9. —Fresh statement by Viscount Bryce of the faults he imputes to the peace treaty, a final word in his contro- versy with Senator Tommasso Tittonl over Italy’s rights in the southern Tyrol, and a general review of the factors and the influences making for war or for peace in modern civiliza- tion were the outstanding features of the great British diplomat's fifth lecture on “International Relations ¢ the Old World States,” delivered tooday before the Institute of Politics, at Williams College. In regard to the conferees of Ver- sailles, Lord Bryce declared, it was not their failure to accomplisi impossible which deserved censure, but rather the fact that in many cases they did not do what could have been and ought to have been done to draw just boundaries and to ascer- tain the wishes of the populations concerned. h the : o Among these _failures, notwit standing _the objectin ~raised by Senator Tittoni on the institute’s latform last Saturday night, Lor Bryce again listed the cession of the Austrian Tyrol to Italy. ¥ i “In this and in other cases,” he said, “it is to be feared that discontent due to a sense of injustice will ln‘; Jure the states who have receive unwilling subjects, and will become \the source of many troubles in ll‘:e future. Exhaustion will prevent the belligerents of 1918 from entering on wars in the next few years, but some of the minor states may take arms against others whom they thinkgno better prepared than themselves. Extract From Address. Lord Bryce spoke, in part, a lows: “Even when setting aside all con- sidErnuon of special risks and ha ards of this kind, we inust remember that a true peace does not exist where there is a wish to renew war. Let me enumerate briefly ~some among “the forces and influences chich work for peace or war. “‘r"(ll(nhsr such force whflc‘:\ l’ormerlly ayed a prominent part has now al- e entitely vanished with the re- cent fall of six European monarchies. I mean the influences of family rela- tionships of reigning dynasties. “Religion, the second influence to be here noted, has lost much of its former power in international poli- tics. No Protestant nation now cares whether it allies itself with a Roman Catholic or a Protestant nation; and the converse Is almost equally true of the Roman Catholic nations. It is otherwise, however, in Asia, where fanaticism is still flerce among the Moslem peoples. “Racial sentiment, a third influence that has within the last century ac- quired a conscious force scarcely known to earlier generations, is part of what we call by the quite modern name of nationality. Powers at Paris Forget Promise. “Unhappily, the powers represented at Paris, forgetting the promise made to recognize the principles of na- tionality and self-determination. have by the recent treaties left some griev- ances unrepressed and created other grievances that did not exist before ;»Imw sowing the seeds of future trou- . “You will ask was it possible to give effect everywhere to those prin- ciples, and those who know the diffi- culties will at once answer, it was not possible. “There are regions in Europe. such as the Danubian countries.
