'fow their example, THE NOTORIOUS RAISULL Brigund: Is Constantly Causing ' Trouble. 3 Mulai Abmed 'Ben Mukimmad, bet- ter known as Ralsuli, the notorious Moroccan brigand chieftain, has lit- tle. it is true, to be said in his favor if he Is taken us he must be, of course, seriously. He is, it is to be confessed, a 'sorry rogue'; but he is a picturesque rogue, and, from the day of his first great adventure, some fifteen years ago, when he kid- napped the correspondent of the Times of London, and held him up for ransom, down to the present day, he has kept men speculating as to what he would do next. ! Indeed it may be said, with some truth, that it was Raisuli who first riveted popular attention upon Mo- rocco: Following closely upon the' kidnapping of the Times correspon- dent, came the descent on Ion Per- dicaris, and Cromwell Varley, Amer- ican and British subjects respectively, | who were kidnapped outside of Tan- gler, and held up for ransom in the June of 1904. The United States on that occasion took strong measures, and those who crossed over from Gibraltar, in the midddle of June of that year, would have found some five or six United States warships riding at anchor in Tangier Bay. An ultimatum was sent to the Sul- tan, on that occasion, demanding "release and restoration" within a specified time, or the guns of the war- ships) would open fire on Tangier. The day on which the ultimatum ex: pired was Mubhammad's birthday, and those who went ashore in the early morning, and made their way! through the crowded streets out into the crowded marketplace, could not fail to be impressed by the appar- ently complete indifference of the people to what was going on in the bay. It was all regarded ds a tre- mendous addition to the national holiday, The captured men would be | released, of course, and Tangier would not be bombarded. The inter-| est manifested in the marketplace] centered In the question of how the] Sultan was going to gef out of the! How much would Raisuli demand? How much would the Sul- | tan concede? It was, in fact, the age- long interest, the Oriental's love of al Moroccan What were the terms of the final settlement was never really known, | but the two men returned to civiliz i ation, before the guns spoke and| Raisuli's name became everywhere al household word. His exploits lost| nothing in the recounting, and he | was quickly clothed with that strange | glamor which is supposed to suv- round the "gentlemen of the road" in} almost any country. Then, four years | later, came the kidnapping of Gen. Sir Harry MacLean, commander of the Sultan's bodyguard, a British subject. Again Raisull received a Substantial ransom. He became a British protected subject, and secur- ed the extension of this protection to twenty-eight of his relatives. He demanded and received, moredver, the governorship of the entire Fassi district, large quantities of arms and ammunition, and a promise that his fortress of Zinat should be rebuilt, In a certain way, Raisuli showed himself an able administrator. Under his governorship order was re-estab- lished in the Fahs, but hie never couid live at peace with the Sultan. Al- ways In revolt he was captured, or reported captured, arain and again, but whether captured in fact or only in theory, he always managed to ef-, fect his escape. During the last few { years, he has been heard of as or-! ganizing revolts in the Spanish zone, and generally stirring up trouble, and now, according to the latest statement, he is the céntre of grav- ity of the German propaganda and intrigue in the French Protectorate. Anglicizing Words, l English began to appropriate words from othe! languages when it was in the early stage that we call Anglo- Saxon. This -berrewing is wholly | without danger to the purity of Eng- lish if the word is definitely .angli- eized, If it is actually made to feel at | home In our vocabulary, if it drops its alien accents, and if it modifies its foreign pronunciation to adjust itself to our #peech habits. On the other hand, it must be regarded us a menace if it refuses to make this | adjustment or if it cannot. So long as its users are consclous that it is foreign, so long as speakers try to give it its original pronunciation, and so long as writers feel that they ought to indicate its exoticism by the use of italies, then it is a defilement of our native speech, since the for- eign word discloses itself as au for- eign substance imbedded in our sen- tences and not really assimilated. Sooner or later garage and hangar will be pronounced as if they bad al- ways been English; and perhaps iu time even ennul and nuance will fol- discarding the French pronunciation obnoxious to the English tongue.--Yale Review, A Strange Fish, The electric ray is a species of fish found on the Pacific coast.

Protecting us against the conscienceless profiteers we have the merchants--men who know commodity markets, who study ine problems of production and of distribution, and who can find in rising prices the trail of the price-pirate. Our merchants form our Economic Home Guard, and while the "guard" is sometimes temporarily defeated through the plottings of the profiteers, it does not surrender Loyal merchants realize that the Government must borrow the money with which to fight the great war from the home people. If the home people are to be impoverished for the profits of price?pirates, the Government and the great cause for which it is waging war must suffer, The merchants, therefore, serve through fighting against price. manipulators---through patronizing manufacturers who seek only legitimate profits through keeping their own costs of distribution so moderate that retail prices may be held down to the utmost minimum.
