LONDON, Sept. 28. An ugly incident occurred a t 'Casablanca, where recently 200 soldiers from the Foreign Legation deserted. Gendarmes said that five whom they recognised as deserters were brought to the seashore by the secretaries of tlio German Consulate and Moorish horsemen in the employ of the Consul. When about to enter a boat to embark the gendarmes arrested them •and when a horseman interfered lie was arrested but later liberated. A German account states that the French harbor captain pointed a revolver at the secretary and fiercely assaulted the horseman. .
The Cologne “Gazette” insists oil firm action since the gendarmes con’iluct was absolutely illegal. The French press asserts that several deserters were not Germans.
