Other Europeans have been attack

especially bitter against the French
and seem to think that they can In
dulge their hatred with impunity. In
France It is felt also that, though the
Moors must be taught TO respect the
rights Of other nations, to exact

states, and tho reliance on German

have q considerable share In bringing
fanaticism to the point Of an outbreak.
The hatred of the Moors against the
French was increased by the occupa-

troops under command Of Gen. Ly.

the army. Throughout the Franco

dead on the field with two horrible
wounds. For nearly two days he lay
exposed to the elements till he re-

wounds and crawl TO the nearest

is considered one Of the most valuable
men in the French army, and he has
spent some years attached to the army
