There i- no doubt. for such a war as that progressing in Morocco. the fieri plane.-- could he the deriding factor. And the French and Spanish authorities will funl it a more useful and Ir-- extensive instrument than any other engine of warlare moving over the ground. Ihe II ills have put up a stubborn light and a strong resistance. For months they had the European forces in difficulties and dominated the position beyond question.

The Industrial Workers ot the World are out to wreck constitutions, which they would replace liv some awful substitute such as .serves for Government m Russia.

The country cannot afford to tolerate .such a policy as those who advocate- it.
