Want Mare Order. - Beth the Fren^j and Spanii^r|ftSternments decided *n January, 1920, to make military demonstrations in their respective zones for the purpose of preparing the way to more orderly government. The French zone was soon .pacified. The Spanish territory, which is administered by Gen. Damaso Berenguer as high commissioner, was not so submissive. Spanish troops at first made their base on the Atlantic coast of Morocco at El-Arish, also known as Laraicke. From there they penetrated well into the interior and captured a- OSMBbtr of Moorish strongholds, Inctadtag (he socalled secret city of Sheehawalk For some time little activity has been re* ported in that western district of Morocco. v The Spaniards, however, sent ao> other expedition under the command of General SUvestre, who establishpld a base at MeiUia, midway on a promontory which extends from the eastern end of the Spanish zone northward Into the Mediterranean. From that point,. General Silvestre's troops attempted to ptenetrate southward into the interior. Early successes were reported, but last spring -the Spaniards encountered strong native troops and hostile tribesmen, estimated to number 20,000 and said to be well armed and equipped with artillery.

' \ Paris.--A mfle from Fort Douaumont, which looks down on the walled city of Verdun, France, and its ring of defenses, lives a priest who never smiles. He is young, clear-eyed, and does not need the ribbon of the Legion of Honor nor the Cross of War with the palm that he wears to tell that he has served. He lives today in a wooden hut with the bones of 300,000 of his countrymen, the defenders ot Verdun. Time has softened the sharper outlines of his surroundings, and from a distance seems to have given the 12- mlle battle t front a green carpet, in Secretary Denby in Hisprivate Navy Here is Secretary Penby in his private adjoining his farm at Clintonvllle, Mich.

Acres of tangled rusted barbed wire hare been hidden under weeds and shrubbery. Rifle Barrel Marks Grave. Some inches of rusted rifle barrel protrude from the soil to mark a grave the workmen have not reached. Fragments of leather and cloth equipment Ue scattered about, and even along the more frequented paths one stumbles over bones. The wooden hut where M. L'Abbe Noel lives Is perhaps 20 feet wide and 40 feet long, the gift of an American committee. At the end opposite the entrance Is the altar, and, forming an aisle, are tiers of coffin-shaped boxes, with the lids resting loosely upon ihem. Bach box Is placarded with the names of the sector along the Verdun. front where the fragment waa found. Flowers Blanket Coffins. Many of the coffins are heaped high with flowers and wreaths, and on all are visiting cards put there by those whose memories center about the locality named on the box. Of the 400,- 000 French who died at Verdun, said the abbe, 300,000 will never be identified. An "ossuaire" is to be erected bn this spot, and in it will be placed these "sacred bones," where they will rest. Each sector will have a tomb designated for it, where now there la a wooden box. Four shrines, Catholic, Protestant, Jewish and Musselman,< will be grouped about the ossuaire. Each day adds to the collection that is gatherin g in the temporary wooden hut which serves until the permanent structure is completed. On the nearest hill Is a wooden cross, built and erected by Marshal Petain for the dead of his armies. A few yards away is the grave of a French commander, General Anselln, killed in action. Not far distant and over the crest of the hill is the massive concrete monument built over the "Trench of Bayonets" where an entire company died as they waited, rifles in their hands, the bugle call to charge. Their bodies have never been disinterred and the protruding rifles with bayonets fixed are still clutched by the soldiers whose graves they mark, as though waiting for the long-delayed command to go forward.

The impressioo of the pores In Doctor Locard's system is colored by chemical vapors or very fine powders so they may be photographed under a microscope. Doctor Locard tells of several successful prosecutions supported by his new sciences. In one case a burglar wore gloves, but left an impression of a small surface of 'orearm. That trace convicted him. Another burglar, perspiring freely, left the impression of pore surfaces through bis gloves and went to Jail. Graphometry, as termed by Doctor Locard, consists primarily in the the^ ory that handwriting shows always a certiin relation in Ize between letters and unmistakable characteristics In form, particularly In loops. In addition to these principles Doctor Locard, of course, utilizes generally accepted methods if detecting forger- RICHES WAKING „ JFOft tOST film Palatial Home, Land and Fortune for Qfciid of Romance Who Is Being Searched for.

"When the preacher stopped for breath the widow observed thoughtfully: " 'Well, I suppose his first wife has got him again, then.'"
