MOORS GO NORTH 10 FIGHT FOR FRANCE New Contingents Sent Every Month to Join Golonial Troops (Correspondence of the Asso. Press.) ‘Fez, Morocco, Nov. 30.—The trip from the Atlantic coast to Fez that people talked of ten years ago with about the same apprehension as of an Arctic expedition, is today amn agreeable and restful excursion, ac- cording to members of a French del- egation who came here from Rabat on an official mission to the court of Sultan Moulay Youssef. Even tife Berberes who revolted last No- vember and were taught a severe les- | son by the French troops at Kheni- fa, come down from their mountain retreats now only to sell their mut- } ton and are as gentle as their beasts. They saluted the delegation with great respect. The street Arabs of Tez, who in other days amused themselves by spitting at visiting for- eigners, hastened up to carry the luggage of the delegation and show the way into the town. TFez, in these wartimes, is a town of majestic tranquility; the surround- ing region is as calm as the New England hills; the war seems hope- Jessly distant to the Moors, though 1t he palace its developments are fol- lowed with almost as much interest as in the capitals of Europe. Sympathy With French. The Sultan, after his daily slesta, has the western despatches brousght in and listens with sustained inter- est to explanations of any modifica- tions in the situation, though with less jinterest perhaps than that with whiéh Si Guebbas, the Grand-Vizier. who was educated in England follows the progress of events by the aid of large maps of the theaters of opera- tions suspended on the mosaic walls of his reception salone. He dis- cusses the progress of the campaigns in the different scenes with surpris- ing comprehension of military strat- | egy and without once betraying con- scMnceness that Tanglers was the first step, with Casa Blanca and Ag- adir as the first relay posts, in the European conflagration. His sym- pathies are openly with the French; and for the moment at least are those lof most of the influential chiefs. The basis of that loyalty is found in the reagoning of Si Mohamed a notability of Fez, who took active part in the revolution that cost Abdel Ariz his throne and nearly cost Si Mohamed his own head. “When I was young,” said Si Mo- hamed, “T was of a most ardent na- ture, and.what I could not accom- plish through politics T was apt to try with gunpowder. Years have calmed me and though I, like my com¥atriots, was much incited against he French when they installed them- selves in the country, I said to m jself: ‘What folly to enter into cor flict with so strong a people. We hall certainly be vanquished. Bet- er be their friends than thelr en- fimies.”” Si Mohamed’s reasoning was he Moroccan situation in a nut- khell, Mvssauzc to German Consul. Such lingering tendencies to re- olt as existed at the beginning of he war were quickly suppressed. ery shortly after hostilities began a Moor arrived at Mogador and asked 'or the German consul. He was in- ormed that all the German officials hnd German: colonists had been ex- pelled from WMorocco. He seemed o strongly put out at this informa- on that the French authorities ar- sted him. They found on him a go to the German consul from the pretendant, follows: “As was agreed With vou, we are ready to march against the Krench; | Wwe are awaiting only for you to com- plete the delivery of the arms as you promised, Natives Closely Watched. From that day the natives, who had previously been under German protection under the treaty concern- ing the Moroccan protectorate, were closely watched. All the chiefs were called in by the heads of municipali- ties and given to understand that they were henceforth to enjoy on other protection than that of the Irench government, and that it would be vigilant that they would better accept it without resistance. i The measures taken at that time had double effect, they not anly re- | pressed natives rebelliously inclined, but rejoiced a greater number of Moors who had suffered from the ar- rogance of their brethern who had presumed upon the protection of the | German empire, which they consid- ered all-powerful, to indulge in ik sorts of depredations on the rights | and belongings of their neighbors. A} great many rebels decided to go the whole way and enlist in the French army. El Hiba, reading as so Moors Are Warriors. The Moor never does things by halves when it comes to war. An old North African saying isthat “The Tu- nisians are feminine, the Algerians are men but the Moors are warrlors.” It is not allowed by the censor to say how many Moors have gone north to fight' for France. Every month new contingents that have completed their training in the country are sent on to join colonial troops in France and Belgium. At the beginning of the war, in an- ticipation of possible uprisings in the interior, Governor-General Lyautey was authorized by the French gov ernment to withdraw all forces and hold only the coast town, thus re- leasing the active army on service there for use of France. The re- sulting danger to French prestige de- cided him to maintain all the posts then held. replacing the active men by reservists, territorials and Senega- les(? riflemen. He succeeded in maintaining perfect order everywhere, and nowhere did French -influence suffer from the withdrawal of the regular troops, while it profited im- mensely from the expulsion of the Germans. Not even the profusion of false news had any effect; According to one story, all Europeans were to hg ;{nassafred at the end of the feast of Ramadan, according to others, Holy War had been declared ;ri;ul;? ber of times, the French had evac. uated Rabat, revolution had broken out in Fez and twenty thousand Ber- beres were besieging the town. So many of these fantastic rcports were circulated and disproven that when news came Turkey had gone to war with the Allies the Mussuiman popu- lation refused to believe it; the dan- ger there might have been in it un- der other circumstances was thus neutralized and when the truth of it became known officially its effect was auite contrary to what had been antic- ipated in some quarters, The cadi of Casa Blanca, taking that circumstance as his text, proclaimed in the mosque in the presence of Moulay Youssef that the Sultan of Morocco was the one and only real prince of Mecca, descendant and sole hei sole roof t prophet, “ & | Defeated German Pronaganda, A thing that worked most effective- ly against German propoganda in Morocco was prosperity. While the Germans had taken a preponderating place in commerce with their beads, glassware, silks and domestic articles, they alienated the native merchants who were ruined by their competition. At the same time the Bedouins of the 1915.
