This picture of four Moroccan sol
diers gives an idea of the type of
fighting men imported to Spain by
the rebel commander, Gen. Fran
cisco Franco, to aid in the bloody
war on the loyalist government of
President Azana.
Many native Spaniards have re
sented the importation of foreign
troops, and it is believed to have
alienated the support of many reb
el sympathizers. While no one can
doubt the value of the Moroccans
as fighting men, the invasion of the
Moors centuries ago still lingers in
the minds of the Spanish people.
British diplomats are making des
perate efforts to prevent interven
tion in Spain. The failure of Portu
gal to join in a general pact has
been a disturbing factor. Portugal
has declared she must retain free
dom .0 act should Communist
propaganda menace internal se
curity.

Heiress to Millions Likes to Work
Here are the boy and girl ad
judged to have the most and best
freckles in Greater New York. They
are Patricia Gallagher, fourteen, of
Staten Island, and Charles Coch
rane, of Queens. Six hundred chil
dren competed in the contest.
Just how the judges arrived at the
decision is unknown. Some of the

covered with freckles tha. any
choice seemed unfair. However,
Patricia Gallagher and Charles
Cochrane were finally declared the
winners.

Japanese Priests Prepare for War
Drill Daily
for Day When
War W ill Come
With bayonets belted to their
priestly robes and rifles over their
shoulders, the clean shaven young
priests of the Sodo sect of the
Buddists engage in military drill on
the grounds of their temple in Ja
pan. A military officer from the
nearest garrison comes to drill them
every morning
Japan's successes in Manchukuo
and the general belief that sooner
oi later war will come has aroused
the people's military spirit, and the
war party seems to be in full con
trol.
The latest disturbing news from
that quarter is that Japan is taking
advantage of the escape clause of
the London pact to increase her
strength in submarines. This can
be done only when one of the sig-
natories of the pact considers its
national defense in jeopardy Secre-
tary Swanson has declared Japan's
action is a clear violation of the
agreement. No official action has
yet been taken by the State depart-
ment.

plainly seen.
