RECOGNISING MOROCCO.
MERCILLGUS CARNAGE. iG Telegraph—Press Association-Copyright. / Australian and N.Z. Cablo Association. LONDON, November 17. A special correspondent of the “Daily News ’’ travelled by aeroplane to Morocco. Tic writes : “ Spain narrowly escaped headlong expulsion when the Moors suddenly revolted. Spain survived by acts of desperate heroism. Troops who, are now pouring into the country are undertaking systematic reconquest as a matter of national pride. It inevitably will cost millions in treasure and thousands of lives. The average Spaniard considers that the job is worth while. The Moorish army is outnumbered by ten to one, but the Spanish casualties are greatly heavier than those of the Moors, who do not take prisoners, not showing or expecting mercy. Whenever the Spaniards retake a village or town they invariably find the garrison and inhabitants massacred, mutilated and unburied. The war is one of terrible ferocity.”
