TIE CRISIS IN MOROCCO
French Plans for Bringing the Sultan
 to Terms.

Paris, Dec. 24.-The crisis in Moroc- co is assuming a warlil<s aspect lead ing the government to consider all the eventualities in the occupation of a chain of six or seven of the most inn portant ports. giving France control Of Moroccan customs and communication with the other world. This will not be definitely determined until the sultan responds to the French demands for redress The occupation of the ports i3 considered to be more effective than a naval demonstration as the United States demonstration at Tangier showed that the MOroccans are un- moved unless the demonstration is ac- Companied by coercion, even the seiz- ure of the ports not bringing the sul- tan to terms.
 France is able to send a military ex- petition from Algeria. The French troops in Algeria number 5O000 and they are easily increasable by SO,0O0 whereas the suitan's army does not ex- ceed 5000 men. However, Foreign Minister Delcasse is moving cautiously and is still hopeful that a resort to force will. be unnecessary. Care also is being taken to avoid the sultan's proclaiining holy war, which would arouse the Mohammedan fanatics.

fuses of the grenades. In this peculiar garb, with lighted matches at their waists, the troops presented a strange appearance.
 The soldiers of the battalion in the caponier galleries, who were distin- guished by white badges on their arms, were orderei to attack immediately after the explosion of the mines, and those of the second battalion in par allel who were distinguished by red badges On their arms. were to make the second assault. General Same jima personally conducted these as saults at o'clock on the afternoon of December 19, after the explosions had taken place.
 The first mine exploded without warning and the explosion was not en- tirely successful owing to the heavy concrete above the min. The explo sion of the, second mine followed i'm mediately and this was succeeded by ike smaller explosions. The sight was wonderful In the extreme. Huge clods of brown earth and debris of all kinds were thrown 200 feet in the air. and it looked as if the whole fort had been sent heavenward. When the clouds Of earth had settled down, the snow for
 
 covered with brown earth, pieces of timber and blocks of concrete.
 The explosions made two large breaches il the north wall Of the fort, through which the Japanese succeed ed in gaining the ramparts, and charg- ed the interior Of the fort, but they were repuIsed by a portion of the gar rison from behind the wall ct the rear of the fort which had not been touch ed by the force of the explosion. Be hind this wall there were four field guns and three machine guns.
 In the meantime. the Russians had rushed endorsements to the fort through the covered wall at the rear. The second battalion or attackers were not able to advance immediate ly, as the sapping trenches from the parallel to the moat were filled with debris. When this debris had been e7-- l cavated the battalion reached the moat and gained G,e ramparts through the breaches that had been made by the explosions.
 The commander of this enterprise realized that any attemot to gain the interior of the fort would end in dis aster if his whole force advanced in one body, so he disposed his men along | the wall and ordered them to gain the lower level of the interior of the fort by twos and threes and to find cover in holes which had been made in the surface by Japanese shells. In the ] whole center of the fort, great holes ; had been tom by Japanese shells. and , these offered good cover for rifle and machine gun fire directed from the rear of the fort. In these holes 150 o

The Grievance of British Stockholders
 in New Mexico Irrigation Project.

Fl Paso. Tex, Dec. 24.-The claims of British bondholders in the original Elephant Butte dam project in New Mexico, whose project was stopped by government interference, may be sub mitted to a court Of international ar bitration. A short time ago the Brit ish bondholders joined in a petition to their government Q take up the cues tion of claims with the American gov ernment.
 The petition vas forwarded sl month ago to the foreign secretary. accom- panied by a letter setting forth briefly the grounds of claim. The petition and letter were duly transmitted to the British ambassador at Washing ton with a recommendation from his majesty's government that arrange ments be made to arbitrate the claims. The question has been brought in this shape before the American state department and is now under consideration.
