The constant fear of confscation and i'm
prisonment has sti1ed all the industries of
Morocco. man is afraid to become wealthy,
or even to own more thar the bare necessities
of life. Miles on miles of fertile plain and
mountain plateau lie barren because the owner of
the land is afraid to cultivate it. Wheat and bar
ley coffee and sugar cane could be grown and
prosperous trade established with the Euro
pean ports across the Mediterranean, but in
stead the terror-stricken subjects barely raise
enough grain to supply their own needs AS
soon as crop fails the country is Frustrated
with a famine.
The population of Morocco has defied the
statistician. Some Of the cities of it's plains
closed against the foot of a white man, and the
wild tribes of the mountain, which have now
poured down from their fastnesses to sack the
city of Fee, have never been counted, for among
them the art of counting is confined to fingers
and thumbs. The majority of writers, however,
agree that the Sultan rules over from 100000
to 100000 people, or about the same number
that live in either Ohio Pennsylvania The
boundaries of this country where it extends
into the desert are loosely denned, but Dy the
least conservative estimate the Of Mo-
rocco is 10000 square miles, about the size
of Texas and Louisiana.
Since the Arabs first penetrated into Morocco
in the sixth century and the fierce tribes Of the
Atlas mountains finally overcome, four
distinct races have emerged. There is first the
Berber, the descendant Of the aborigine, of
fine physique, courageous, temperate and in
dustrious. The Berber tribes the chief agri-
culturists, and by reason of their skill as
masons they live in stone houses and are to be
found for the most part in the mountainous
districts The Arabs and Moors have a COM
mon ancestry, but because the Moor has for
centuries lived in the CITY, while the Arab still
clings to his tent and roves over the plain, the
former has acquired polished manners and city
ways. For this reason he thinks himself su-
perior to his country cousins. Both are de-
scended from the Mahometan invaders.
According to Jewish writer's, the Hebrews of
Morocco form about % per cent of the popula-
tion. They to be found in the cities and
closely restricted to a certain quarter outside
of which until recently they were not permitted
unless barefoot. They the sole dealers in
bullion, and many have secretly acquired con-
siderable wealth. The Jew is continually re-
ved by the Moor. but he has learned that
the slightest retaliation means Imprisonment if
not death. he accepts this treatment as the in

HARVARD'S NEW MUSEUM.
THE GERMANIC COLLECTION PRESENTED
BY THE KAISER ON VIEW


Cambridge, Mass, jan 10--Harvard's new
Germanic Museum, the first of its kind to be es-
tablished in this country. and containing the
costly and magnificent collection of relics gath
cred by Emperor William of Germany and
presented by him to the university, was opened
to the public for the first time in Cambridge on
Thursday afternoon
The opening of the museum, given as it Writ
ualy is by one of Europe's great monarchss
marks a new departure from the routine or
college dedieations For many years Emperor
William has been especially partial to Har-
ward. The university has been his special pride
and pet, and on every occasion he has expressed
his desire to help it along in material
way. Some TIM ago the idea of presenting Il
with a collection of German relics was sug-
gested to him, and he acted promptly on the
idea Neither time nor money was spared IN
the effort. 1t was unique interest on the pa1

eign land, and II has resulted to-day in Har-
ward having direct from the EmperOr's hands,

exceeds anything that has been known in this
country before.
Emperor Williams gift to Harvard. valued
at something like $4,000 marks. and containing
specimens of German art, sculpture, architecture
and archaeology, is supplemented by fine gin
from the Swiss Government, which makes it, ae
a whole exceedingly valuable unique gift, Il
comes partly result of a unique action on
the part of Harvard-the comforting of the de-
gree of LII. D. on Prince Henry when that royal
parsonage visited America last year. 1t is safe
to assume that Emperor William had some
faint idea of what was to occur in Cambridgs
last spring. when he started his collection OF the
present gift which graces the Germanic Museum
at Harvard.
Emperor Williams gift to Harvard contains
too many things to warrant a complete enUmera-
ton. Only few can be mentioned One OK
the most interesting of these Is a model OF the
famous Viking boat, such the old Vikings
used to ravage and plunder in away back in the
fourth fifth century. This boat was found
in remarkable state of preservation a few
years ago in a bog near the present Danish
boundary of Germany. and il is of great ar
theological interest. With II were found ths
arms and armor of the warrior boatmen who
sailed in it. together with the thirty oars which
were used in driving ii through the waves.
North German art will be represented in the
museum by facsimiles of three of the reliefs OF
the Schleswig Cathedral by Bruggemann. These
are the ''Ecce Homo" the Establishment Of
the Passover and The Meeting Of Abraham
and the Melchisedeca-" Specimens OF architect

confscate the entire property Of any citizen
whose wealth appeared especially attractive
Such unfortunate would be simply cast into
prison without the opportunity of defence or
redress. The Sultan also levied taxes, ostensibly
for the support Of his army but as a matter of
fact to fill his private purse.
Under Sultan like Muey Hassan, the father
Of the present ruler, every subordinate in the
government from the Bashaws down to the
most inferior officer obtained his income by
similar methods of extortion. Citizens
rested, for example, on false charges and con-
fined in prison until they had paid for their
freedom. Merchants known to be rich were
subjected to the thumbscrew, other means
of still refined torture, until they divulged
where their riches hidden. Open blackmail
also employed, and thus citizen was told
he would not be injured or thrown into prison,
or otherwise molested, If he paid such and such
an officer a certain sum.
Occasionally Bashaw Kaid, or some other
inferior potentate, became too wealthy by such
means and attracted the attention of the Sui
tan. In such an event the Sultan simply cast
the upstart into prison and pocketed the wealth
himself.
An English traveller who visited Morocco IN
the reign Of Muley Hassan tells of the following
case Of perfidy and utter cruelty to show how
officials procure their revenue:
"A Jew VINO 0aQ gained considerable wealth
a merchant In Fez sought the protection of
his friend, who was an influential Mahometan.
The Jew said that he had heard that the Kaid
was envious Of his riches and was already con-
spring to confiscate them. He asked the
Mahometan to permit him to share his home.
The Mahometan promised to protect the Jew,
took him to his home. and received many gifts
from his guest in return
'"The Kaid, learning what had happened i'm
medately to the Mahometan and asked
him to sell him the Jew. A bargain soon
struck, the Jew was thrown into prison, and
beaten nearly to death. All his property was
conf1scated and divided between the Mahom-
etan and the Kaid. After many years of
at present living in little hoveI with his wife
donkey, and few fowls I dare not possess
more he said to me-"
The prisons of Morocco best illustrate, per-
haps, the utter depravity of it's government. In
most cases the prison is merely a pit, open to
the air and rain overhead, with only the ground
for floor. Here the innocent and the criminal
are huddled together indiscrimnatey. They
are like animals in a pen. There are no means
of sanitation. The prisons no expense to
own food. Should at last become pauper-
