While it is pro- bable that they did not intend to kill the woman, Mrs. Mick, the determina- tion with which they conducted their attack and the deliberateness of it comes with a shock to many.

They do not like it. It'will 'be less to their taste in a short time when, by agreement with Spain, forces from that country join with those of France in a real settle- ment with the Moroccan tribesmen. A serious handicap to French opera.- tions has been _the fact thatthe Moor retreated into the Spanish sphere of influence when too warmly pressed by the French, or when planning an at- tack on the latter. Spain would not allow the French tofollow but has now changed front., No `doubt the realiza- . ticin that the Riffianswould finally dr ve them'out of the country if` not subduedphas caused this new develop- -ment.

This is another reminder or the fact that the western provinces are. fully developed in all that pertains to_ education and other` lines of pro- gress, and indeed, may in some res- pects show the way to central Canada.

Sir Esme de- scribed Britain's `industrial position in somewhat gloomy colors, and em- phasized the additional burden she was meeting in the undertaking to pay off - the debt to,the United States. But he said that Britain must increase her market.'in the United States it she was to` continue her ..effort to discharge that indebtedness.
