FEZ, Morocco, Nov. 2.~The trip from the Atlantic coast to Fes, that people talked about ten years ago with about the same apprehension as of an Arctic expedition, is today an agreeable and restful excursion, according to members <f a French delegation who came here trom Rabat on an official mission to the court of the Sultan Moulay Youssef. Even tte Berberes, who revolted mst November and were taught a severe lesson by the French troops at Khenifa, come down trom their mountain retreats now only to sell thelr mutton, and are as gentle as thelr beasts. They saluted the delegation with great respect. The street Arabs of Fez, who in other days amused them- eelvés by spitting at visiting foreigners, hastened up to carry the luggage of the delegation and show the way into the town. Fez, In these war times, is a town of majestie tranoulllity; the surrounding re- gion is as quiet as the New England hills; the war seems hopelessly distant to the Moors, though at the palace its develop- ments are followed with almost as much interest as in the capitals of Europe. Sultan Reads Dispatches. The sultan, after his daily siesta, has tho western dispatches brought in and listens with sustained interest to explana- | tions of any modifications in the situa- tion, though with less interest, perhaps, than that with which Si Guebbas, the grand vizier, who waa educated in Eng- land, follows the progress of events by tie ald of large maps of the theaters of operations suspended on the mosaic walls | of his reception salons. He discusses the | progress of the campaigns in the diler- ert scenes with surprising comprehension of military strategy and without once be- traying conclousness that Tanglers was the first step, with Casa Blanca and Agadir as the first relay posts, in the Buropean conflagration. His sympathies are openly with the French; and so for the moment, at least, are those of most influential chiefs. The basis of that loyalty is found in the reasoning of 81 Mohamed, a notability of Fez, who took active part in the revolution that cost | Abd el Aziz his throne and nearly cost 8| Mohamed his own head. ““When T was young,” sald 81 Mohamed, “T was of & most ardent nature, and what 1 could not accomplish through politics 1 wae very apt to try with gunpowder. | Years have calmed me and though L, like my compatriots, was much incited against | the French when they Installed them- seives in the country, T sald to myself:; ‘What folly to enter into conflict with so | strong a people. We shall certainly be vanquished. Better be their friends than their enemies.’ " 81 Mahomed's reasoning was the Morocee situation in & nutsholl, Germans Expelled, Such lingering tendencies to revolt as oxisted at the beginning of the war were | auickly suppressed, Very shortly after | hostilities began a Moor arrived at Moga- der and ashed for the German consul, He was informed that all the German offi- | cials and German colonists had been ex- | pelled from Morocco. He seemed m1 etrongly putgout at this information that the French authorities arested him. They | found on him a message to the German | consul from the pretendant, Bl Hiba, | reading as follows: “As was agreed with you, we are ready | to march against the French; we are| walting only for you to complete the de- | livery of the arms you promised.” From that day, the natives, who: had previously been under German protec- tion under the treaty concerning the Moroccan protectorate, were closely watched. All the chiefs were called in by the heads of the municipalities and given to understand that they were hence- forth to enjoy no other protection than that of the French government, and that it would be so vigilant that they would better accept it without resistance. The measures taken at the time had double effecf; they not only repressed natives rebelliously inclined, but re-| joiced a greater number of Moors who had suffered from the arrogance of their brethren who had presumed upon the protection of the German empire, which they considered all-powerful, to indulge in all sorts of depredations on the rights and belongings of their nelghbors. A great many rebels decided to go the whole way and enlist in the French army. Moors Not Weaklings. The Moor never does things by halves when it comes to war. An old north African saying is that “The Tunislans are feminine, the Algerians are men, but | the Moors are warriors.” It is not al- lowed 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 traops in France and Belgium. At the beginning of the war, in antici- pation of possible uprieings in the inter- for, Governor-General ' Lyautey was a-thorized by the French government to withdraw all forces and hold only the coast town, thus releasing the active army there on service for use in France. The resulting danger to French prestige decided him to maintain all the posts then held, replacing the active men by reservists, territorials and Senegalese | riflemen. He succeeded in maintaining | perfect order everywhere, and nowhere did French Influence suffer from the withdrawal of the regular troops, while it profited immensely by the expulsion of the Germans. Not even the profusion of false news had any effect. Accord- ing to one story, all Europeans were %0 be massacred at the end of the feast of Ramadan, according to others, the Holy war had been declared a num- ber of times, the French had evacuated Rabat, revolution had broken out in Fez and twenty thousand Berberes were be- eleging the town. So many of these fantastic reports were circulated and | disproven that when news came that Turkey had gone to war with the| allies the Mussulman populaton refused 1o belleve it; the danger there might have been in it under other circumstances was thus neutralized and when the truth of it became known officlally its effect was quite contrary to what had been anticipated in some quarters. The cadi of Casa Blanca, taking that elrcumatance as his text ) in the presence of Moulay Youssef that the Sultan of Morocco was the one and only real prince of Mecca, descendant and sole heir of the prophet, pr-cleimed’ tn Prosperity Agninst Germans, A thing that worked most effectively against German propagands jn Morocco was prosperity.
