SPANISH TROOPS AT IRISH TURN DOWN MOROCCO DEFEATED Did Pirate Coast Scene of Recent. Battles K Msdrid, Aug. 26 — (By Associated | ess)—That part of Morocco ealled | he Spanish zone, where Spain's troops | have just suffered disastrous reverses | it the hands of the Moors, with the | _ 0ss of thousands of men and thou- pands of square miles of territory is part of the notorious Barbary Coast | whose pirates preyed cn European | ommerce for many vears and carried [Europeans into slavery. In tie present generation it has been made famous by the operations pf the Chieftain Mulai Ahmed er-Rai- uli, who captured and held for ran- gome lon Perdicaris, an American itizen, in 1905. This was in the ad- ministration of President Roosevelt nd. evoked from Secretary Hay the istoric phrase demanding ‘“‘Perdicaris live or Raisuli dead!” It resulted in he almost immediate release of Perdi- ris. The 1est of the world knows com- | paratively little about Morocco des- pite the fact that it has been the | ound of intermittent fighting for enuries. W occupies the extreme northwestern part of Africa, having | m -area estimated at about 300.000 | quare miles and a population of 5,- | P00,000 to 10,000,000. Its people con- | buted to the armies which once in- ded Spain and conquered Cranada. The country is an absolute mon- | chy with a sultan or caliph as its | ead. The present occupant of that position is Mulai el-Mehdi but his con- ol over the shereefs, or nobles has been ror many years only nominal. Varions European governments have gotiated with the sultans in an at- mpt to pacify the Moors, but these have only resulted in outbrtaks by humerous leaders such as Raisuli, who have committed outrages which again brought the Moorish question before e European cabinets. Threa races inhabit Morocco, the ¥iginal Berbers, or bountaineers, who bonquerered Spain on three different jccasions; the mixed race of Arabs d Rerbers, known as Moors. both which races are generally Moham- edans; and the colonies of Jew: thich inhabit the coast cities and con- frol the majority of the country's ommerce. | .The Spanish zone, where the fight- g is now in progress, is a narrow | ip of land along the northwestern | oast fronting on the Mediterranean | ea.

Dublin, Aug. 26, (By Associated Press).—Reports that the Sinn Fein had rejected Great Britain's offer ¢ dominion status as a basis for a settlement of the Irish question and announcements that Eamon De Valera would probably explain the motives which actuated him and his col- leagues in reaching their decision aroused keen interest in today’s pub- lic meeting of the Irish republican parliament. The text of the note |sent to London yesterday by the Sinn Fein leaders had not been made pub- ¢ but it was indicated in authorita- tive quarters that it had maintained the principle of Ireland’s independ- ence and had pointed out objections to the plan submitted by Premier Lloyd George. Optimism Expressed. Optimism over the continuance of otiations between the Sinn Fein and the British government was ap- parent this morning and there seemed to be litle apprehension over a pos- sible break in the truce which was es- tablished about six weeks ago. It was believed that the Sinn Fein note had | not closed the door to further parlevs and that a settlement of the contro- versy which has estranged England | and Ircland for generations could be reachcd, possibly within a reasonable brief period. Klection of Officers Today. Today's agenda of the parliament called tor the election of all officers of the Irish republican government, the terms of the men who had exer- cised control in the past having ex- pired. There were indications that the parliament would not finally adjourn while the peace negotiations were in progr would remain in session | “or the purpose of aiding in the work of reaching a satistactory agreement with Great Britain.

The measure proposes to maintain two agents at each of the principal ports abroad, one a member of the pub- lic health service and one from the im- migration bureau. The selection of im- migrants would operate through the vise system, which requires the immi- nt to procure from his government a passport which must be vised by an rican consular officer before he can mbark for the Unifed States. This vise, it is proposed, would be granted only after inspection by the immigram nd health inspectors At present the secretary of labor said, the immigrant has no assurance that he will be premitted to land in thi country. Many cases of a pathetic na- ture are appealed to the secretary daily. Recently a child of two years was ordered deported in custody of his mother on account of ringworm of the scalp. The family had saved for years, looking forward to life in the United States and had sold all they had at a sacrifice intending to become citizens. ‘‘The family thus separated,’’ Secre- tary Davis said, ‘‘must cease to be a happy family, must go back to Poland, whence they came, to misery and want, for they had used their money from the sale of their possessions in coming to this country.’’ Other ca: the secretary said, would be humorous if they were not so pa- etic. “‘A certain Hebrew merchant,”” he said, “‘sent his brother passage money and offered him $20 a week in store, the passage money to be return- ed a little at a time. Upon arrival,'the immigrant testified that his brother had sent him money and promised him a job. Technically this was a violation of the contract labor law, and the broth- er denied that he had advanced the money and offered the immigrant a job. ‘Whereupon the immigrant brother be- ame indignant and declared in effect that he had been ‘double crossed’ lit- tle knowing that he was signing his warrant for deportation.’” The illiteracy test in many cases wvorks a hardship, the secretary said, but maintenance of agents abroad can prevent much suffering due to ignor- ance of the law. *‘To carry out the provisions of the roposed measure,’”’ Secretary Davis id, “*it would be necessary for Con- gress to appropriate funds. Perhaps it will cost a little more than the present | hit-or-miss method. tions by exper's of the framework of the airship atier it had been from the Hur ber.
