Correspondence of The Star and the Chicago Daily News. MADRID, Spain, July 26.—The most remarkable incident in Gen. Primo de Rivera's political life before the coup d'etat of last September 13 was the occasion when, while military gov- erner of Cadiz during the great war, he put aside his functions and ad- dressed his fellow-countrymen in a speech which has been summed up as follows: “Ceuta for Gibraltar and the devil take the rest of Morocco” (meaning the Spanish protectorate zone). This plain speaking lost Gen. Primo de Rivera his governorship. Never- theless, a few years later he returned to the charge, rising on his bench in the Senate to proclalm the same doc- trine. Gen. Primo de Rivera is still sen- ator, though he has closed down both chambers of the Cortes. His second speech cost him the most coveted Spanish command, that of the Madrid military district, ‘the captaincy gen- eral of Castile. As captain general of Catalonia he found the lever his ir- repressible energy at the service of patriotism was looking for, and the army revolt at Barcelona brought about the dictatorship. Moroccan Protectorate Very Costly. Gen. Primo de Rivera has now been the supreme master of Spain more than nine months without disclosing his thoughts with regard to the Mo- roccan problem, except by repeatedly affirming that “things cannot remain as they are” and acknowledging that the burden of blood and treasure im- posed by the protectorate on Spain is out of all proportion. Since 1909 Spain has spent $400,- 000,000 in her protectorate, all ex- cept a very small percentage in shot, shell and “military equipment. This huge expenditure has upset Spanish finances and prevented economic de- velopment at home. Spain maintains 80,000 men across the straits, garri- soning 500 “small posts on_hilltops and at water points, besides the large regular garrisons at Melilla, Ceuta and Laraiche. These garrisons hold the tribes in submission at the east- end and western ends of the protec- torate. The RIff is still rebellious to all authority. A good deal of expense might be cut out by abandoning mil- itary campaigns in the Riff, but di- minishing the garrisons in the occu- pied zones without a rising of the tribes is another question. Gen. Primo de Rivera has boldly advocated withdrawal from Africa provided compensation could be ob- tained. Is he working now to get compensation? Spain's refusal defi- nitely to sign the Tangier convention seemed an indication that the direc- torate was out for a bargain. Demand for Territory Unsuccessful. The demand put forth for an exten- sion of Spaln's suzerainty within a radius of some miles around Melilla and Ceuta (which fortresses form rt of national soil and are quite separate, administratively, from the protectorate) met with non-success. The sultan (France) would not part with territory and Spain got no back- & to enable her to insist. The rea- son she gave for desiring an enlarge: ment of territory was that Ceuta and Melilla were cramped for want of space to enlarge and that the sites for future town water supplies would be outside the jurisdiction of the au- thorities of these towns. Although there is good water in the Gurugu Mountains, rising directly behind Melilla, that city has never dared tap the Sources and water has to be bronght from Malaga in a tank steamer. Some water rights may now be graned by the sultan, but that Is the limit of the concessions obtained by the pretense of unwillingness to sign_the Tangier convention, which has now been ratified. It is now semi-officially announced that the Spanish army will shortly be ordered to withdraw from a great number of the advanced posts in the eastern (Melilla) zone and that Spain will make no further attempt to pen- etrate the Riff region. This seems to be the plan of the directorate for the moment: To sit down in solidly es- tablished positions and leave the warlike tribes alone. An economy for the budget of more than $20,000,- 000 will thus be effected every year. 1f carried out, this common-sense policy would be acceptable to the Spanish nation, to which the direc- torate would have rendered the most signal service by lightening the bur- den in Morocco, with consequences that may be far-reaching. Great Value of Ceuta. 1t is generally accepted that the signature of the Tangier convention removed the knottiest problem in the question of the straits, but at Tan- gier Spain suffered a grievous disap- pointment. In interviews with for- eign press representatives, neither the king nor Gen. Primo de Rivera has hidden his resentment, which is shared by most Spaniards. Ceuta could be made with far less expendi- ture and in a shorter time an - arably better harbor than Tangier. Vill Spain make & bid for the traffic of the Tangier-Fez-and-beyond rail- way by building Ceuta harbor and & raflway line to connect up with the trunk line at Alcazar? This is a se- cret of the future which may be in- fluenced by other considerations. It is known that the British au thorities have doubts as to the f ture military value of Gibraltar. Ex- ert opinion has been declared in avor of Ceuta as a submarine base. In the light of these considerations “Ceuta for Gibraltar” takes a quite aifferent complextion ~and might prove a business proposition. The re- covery of Gibraltar for Spain would be hailed as one of the greatest tri- umphs of nacionallsmo. ~The Kking under whose reign such an_event took place would go down to history ith a new glory. 5 W'On the other hand, “Gib” stands for 8o much in the traditions of the Brit- ish empire that its cession, even for an advantageous exchange, would be disputed by many. Nevertheless it is 2 fact that while Gibraltar's impor- fance in the eys of Spain grows rather than lessens as time passes, its util- ity to Great Britain is being dimin- ished by the progress of modern armament, taken in conjunction with the dominating heights on the Span- ish mainland.

GUARD SHOT TOWER TO THWART RAZING Baltimore Police to Arrest Workers if Attempt Is Made to De- molish Landmark. ' Special Dispatch to The Star. BALTIMORE, August 9.—Following the threat of the owners to begin dismantling the Shot Tower, not- withstanding the withdrawal of the permit issued by the city, the build- ing inspector has placed a guard on duty at the tower to keep a close watch and report any work attempt- ed there in preparation for its demoli- tion. Bullding Inspector Chatles H. Os- horne said he would ask the police to arrest the contractors and stop the work if any attempt is made to taze the tower.” He sald those held re- sponsible would be charged with per- forming work without a permit. Mayor Jackson announced that the enactment of an ordinance authoria- ing acquisition of the property by condemnations would be deferred until the city council meets in Sep- tember. The plan to call the body into special session has been dropped. “The contractors have been pre- vented from disturbing the structure by a revocation of the demolition permit, and there will be no need to rush the condemnation ordinance.” the mayor said. In the meantime, the campaign to raise $27,000 with which to acquire the property and turn it over to the city s gaining new head- way, George L. Radcliffe, chairman of the campaign committee, said. 45 FAILURES A DAY IN GERMANY NOW Economic Crisis Increases Rather Than Improves, Figures for June Disclose. BERLIN, August 9.—On the sur- face, the 'economic crisis through which Germany is passing appears to have increased in intensity rather than improved. Three-quarters of the ‘present practice of Berlin law- yers consists in protesting _bills; printed formul as have been specially got out to save the work of clerks when one case after another comes up in the overcrowded courts of debt- ors who cannot pay. The number of fallures grows larger from week to week. Against the daily average of ten in the month of April, when matters first became acute, June can show a daily list of forty-five bankruptcies, with an out- look quite hopeless for many old- established firms who have kept their heads above water until now. France never struck speculative Germany a greater blow than when the franc rose suddenly after the deep fall ‘of this spring after the unexpected sta- bilization of the mark. Yet the mere fact of the increase of employment in the building and allied trades forbids the general out- look of blank despair one would otherwise expect. It is the big gov- ernment contracts that have been the principal cause of the reduction in Germany’'s unemployment figures from 695,000 in April to 210,000 in June. The tables have been 80 com- pletely turned that, whereas this time last year the individual was wealthy and the Reich in a state of abject poverty, as close to bankruptcy as any country ever has been, the Reich at the present moment has more than justified the finance min- ister's hopes that a stable currency would soon make tax-paying as pro- fitable to the government as infla- tion was to the speculator and the profiteer. e — G.

Special Dispatch to The Star. BALTIMORE, August 9.—Insanity in Baltimore has increased 67 per cent since 1910. Today, 3,213 Baltimoreans are con- fined in State and city hospitals and asylums _for mentally incompetent. In 1910 there were only 1,922. In 1920 the figure was 2.837. Baltimore has a2 population of 800,000 in round fig- ures. So the number of insane per 100,000 population In 1924 is 401.6, an increase_of 81.3 during the past 14 years. Lunacy cases are increasing 100 a year in Baltimore, according to Dr. Arthur P. Hering, head of the mental hygiene board. “It {s difficult to explain the in- crease,” he said. ‘“Population, of course, plays some part; another is the better facilities we have for treat- ing mental cases.” Sixty-nine persons committed sui- cide here in the last yeay and, 74,295 were arrested. .

By the Associated Pres: NEW YORK, August 9.—The malnu- trition of children in the United States constitutes a serfous health problem, according to the New York Associa- tion for Improving the Condition of the Poor, which for the last four and a halt years has been testing various methods of combating this evil. Some of the facts ascertained from the so- clety's study are included in a state- ment given out here today. It is set forth that among 2,181 ap- parently well children examined in the medical clinics of the society, 636, or 30 per cent, were diagnosed as malnourished. The society is seeking the most effective methods of correcting habits of eating or liv- ing which cause malnutrition, and has issued a monograph entitied “Food for the Family,” containing suggestions for proper feeding as a means of insuring proper nutrition. Not Due to Insuficient Food. This condition of malnutrition is not due to insufficient food, but to the constant use of improperly chos- en food or the inability of the body to make use ot the food eaten be- cause of insufficient air, rest, sun- shine or physical defects. If these children were in danger from fire or industrial accidents, the report of the society says, every safety device and preventive measure known would be urged to protect them. Although the effects of malnutrition are much slower, often much more indirect and much less dramatic than those from fire or accidents, they are even more deplorable because of the larger num- ber affected and the lingering misery resulting. The statement says, in part: “Many a wage earner is unable to increase his income to the safety level because of health oonditions due to poor nutrition. Too mang children ~who apparently show no signs of disease or malnutrition are allowed to drift into the wage-earn- ing perfod with only a part of their rightful earning capacity developed. “‘Malnutrition thus concerns more than the individual or the home in which it occurs. It affects the whole country by reducing the economic production of the individual and thereby increasing the cost of living. Since much of the sickness and low- ered vitality in later life is the result of poor nutrition, as physicians have frequently stated, the importance of providing educational guidance in nutrition as well as providing at- tention for the correction of physical defects is very great.” To ascertain what are the principal causes of malnutrition, the society analyzed the condition of 275 families among those which its nutrition bureau is now assisting. Of that number, families required instruc- tion in the preparation of the proper food; 195 needed assistance in the planning of meals; 46 families had to be helped in marketing, because simple foods, entirely strange to them, were recommended; while spe- cial diets had to be planned for 88 families. Only 27 families needed financial assistance to provide ade- quate food. Greater economy was found to be necessary in 44 families, while in 60 familics assistance took the form of helping them to readjust expenditures. Indifference. women working and no one at home to look after the children; living conditions too con- gested, resulting in inadequate rest and improper ventilation, and mother ill, were other problems’ found to be responsible for malnutrition. Guide to Proper Nutrition. A guide Yo proper nutrition, which the A. I. C. P. will use in its efforts to reduce malnutrition among the tene- ment districts of this city, includes, in addition to suggested diets and menus, a “dozen good health rules for children,” which read as follows: Emphatically do— 1. Use milk —fresh, clean, whole milk for children. Bvery growing child should have & quart & day, in some form. 2. Eat plenty of vegetables. 3. Be sure that a school child has a good luncheon, not candy, pickles and ice cream cones. 4. Eat coarse food, such as oat- meal, bran muffins and vegetables, so that ‘the bowels will not be consti- pated. 5. Eat slowly and chew food well. 6. Have the meals at the same hours each day. 7. Eat only bread, or crackers and milk or bread and butter between meals, and only in the middle of the morning or the afternoon. 8. Wash hands and face before ng. Drink plenty of water between meals. 10. Be in bed by 8§ o'clock or be- fore. 11. Have windows opened in the sleeping room at night. i Brush the teeth at least once a ay. Important don'ts— Do not let the children eat pork or veal, much meat of any kind, fried foods, rich pies and cakes, strong spice and vinegar, green or spoiled fruit. B Do not let children drink tea, cof- fee, beer, wine, soda: Do not let them eat between meals, except the things named in No. 7 above. Do not let them eat candy, ice cream cones, nuts, cakes and cookies between meals. e METAL AIRPLANES SEEN. Scientists Successful in Developing' Light Metal. LONDON, August 9.—Metal airplanes lighter than those of a similar size in wood and_fabric are the latest triumph of British aeronautical scientists, who have for several years been seeking a light metal alloy with the strength of armor plating. The old wood and fabric construc- tion Is doomed; the fighting ‘planes and the giant bombers, the small swift scouts and the huge cargo liners of the sky will in future be built of steel, even to the wings, which are given a corrugated effect. —_— SALVAGE SHIP SAILS. Racer to Resume Work on British ‘Wreéck of War Days. LONDON, August His Majesty’s salvage ship, Racer, which has been lying at Ardossan having her boilers cleaned, has left for Lough Swilly to resume salvage operations on the armed liner, Laurentic, which was sunk there during the war by a Ger- man submarine. Of the 3,211 bars of gold on board, all but 39 have been recovered, and it is expected that within the next month or so the remainder will be 1vaged. It is noteworthy that the recovery of the 99 per cent of the gold has cost only 2% per cent of its value. _BANKS OPEN 24 HOURS. Service Guaranteeq Depositors by Pennsylvania Institution.
