FEZ A TOWNOFTRANQUILITY
War Times Hare Changed the
People Almoit Beyond Recog
nition, MORE CULTURE AND HARMONY
(Correspondence of the Associated rrsa.)
FEZ, Morocco, Not. . Th trip from
the Atlantic coast to Fm, that jeople
talked about ten years ago with about
the same apprehension aa of an Arctlo
expedition, ts today an agreeable and
testful excursion, according- to member
ct i French delegation who came here
Irom Rabat on an official mission to the
court of the Sultan Moulay Touaaef. Even
Us Berberes, who revolted st November
nnd were taught a severe lesaon by the
French troops at Khenlfa, come down
trom their mountain retrcata now only to
tell their mutton, and are aa gentle as
their beast. They saluted the delegation
with great respect- The street Arabs of
Fei. who In other days amused them
selves by spitting at visiting foreigner,
hastened up to carry the luggage of the
delegation and ahow th way into the
town.
Fez, in these war times, Is a town ot
msjostlc treniullllty; the surrounding re
gion Is as quiet aa the New England hills;
the war seems hopelessly distant to the
Moors, though at th palace Its develop
ments are followed with almost as much
Interest as In the capitals of Europe.
Saltan Reads Dispatches.
The sultan, after his dally 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 Ouebbas, the
erand vizier, who waa educated in Eng
land, follows the progress of events by
tl:e aid of large maps of the theaters of
operations suspended on tha mosalo walls
of his reception salons. lie discusses the
progress of the campaigns In the dlier
ert scenes with surprising comprehension
of military strategy and without once bet-ay
lng conclousness that Tanglers was
the first step, with Casa Blanca and
.Agadlr aa the first relay posts. In the
European conflagration. His sympathies
re openly with the French; and so for
th moment, at least, are those of moat
Influential chiefs. Th basta of that
loyalty Is found In the reasoning of SI
Mohamed, a notability of Fes, who took
active part In the revolution that coat
Abd el Axis his throne and nearly cost
81 Mohamed his own head.
"When I was young," said fit Mohamed,
"T was of a most ardent nature, and what
1 could not accomplish through politics I
was very apt to try with gunpowder.
Tears have calmed me and though I, Ilk
my compatriots, was much Incited against
the French when they Installed them
selves in the country, T said 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.' " SI Mahomed's reasoning
vas the Morocco situation In a nutsh.-ll.
Germans Expelled.
Such lingering tendencies to revolt aj
existed at the beginning of th war were
oulckly suppressed. Very shortly after
hostilities began a Moor arrived at Moga-'
di r and asked for the German consul. Ha
waa Informed that all the German offl-
c'als and German colonists had been ex- I
jelled from Morocco. He seemed so
strongly put?out at this Information that
the French authorities areated him. They
found on him a message to the German I
consul from the pretendant, El Hlba,
reading a follows:
"As was agreed with you, we are ready
to march against the French; we are
waiting only for you to complete th 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 th heads of th municipalities and
Kiven to understand that they were hence
forth to enjoy no other protection than
that of th French government, and that
(c would be so vigilant that they would
better accept it without resistance.
The measures taken at the time had
double effect; they not only repressed
natives) rebelllously Inclined, but re
joiced a greater number of Moors who
had suffered from the arrogance of their
brethren who had presumed upon th
protection of th German empire, which
they considered all-powerful, to Indulge
in all sorts of depredations on th rights
and belongings of their neighbors. A
great many rebels decided to go th
whole way and enlist In th French
army,
Maori Not Weaklla;.
Th Moor never does things by halve
when it comes to war. An old north
African saying Is that "The Tunisians
are feminine, tha Algerians ar men, but
the Moors a re warriors." It is not al
lowed by th censor to say how many
Moors have (on north to fight for
France. Every month new contingent
that have completed their training In
the country are sent on to Join colonial
troops in Franc and Belgium.
At th beginning of the war. In antici
pation of possible uprisings in th Inter
ior, Governor-General ' Lyautey was
authorized by the French government to
withdraw all forces and hold only th
coast town, thus releasing th active
army there on service for us In France.
Th resulting danger to French prestige
decided him to maintain all th 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 th Germans. Not even the profusion
of false news had any effect. Accord
ing to on story, all Europeans were
to be massacred at the end of the
feast of Ramadan, according to others,
th Holy war had been declared a num
ber of times, tha French had evscuated
Rabat, revolution had broken out in Fes
and twenty thousand Berberes were be
sieging th town. 8s many of these
fantastic reports were circulated and
disproven that whon news came that
Turkey had gone to war with th
allies the Mussulman populal.on refused
to believe it; the danger there might have
been in It under other circumstance
waa thus neutralized and when th truth
of It became known officially its effect
was quit contrary to what had been
anticipated in some quarters. The cadi
