EUROPEANS ARE FLEEING
IN TERROR FROM MOROCCO
France Proposes To Join Spain and
Put Fifty Thousand Troops i'm the
Country.

Paris. Sept. 9.-Today's dispatch
es from Tangier indicate no change
in the situation at Casa Blanca or
Rabat, where the armies of Mulal
Hafiz and the present sultan are ex-
pected to meet in few days. Despite
the assurances of the pretender that
foreigners will not be molested. most
of the Europeans at Rabat are pre-
pairing to leave at once. fearing a
reign Of terror may follow the ex-
pected battle.
Representatives of the pretender
have made such strong pleas for his
recognition by the powers that the
matter is receiving serious considera-
ton. 1t is generally admitted that
Abdul Azziz has practically no control
over the southern tribesmen, while
nearly all of them have sworn ale
glance to his rival.
Another problem that has given
the powers considerable anxiety is
the danger that, following the install
lation of foreign police at the several
ports. the anti-European movement
may be revived. Many Europeans
now in Morocco have warned their re-
spective governments that anything
that looks like further encroachment
by France or Spain will be resented
by the Moors. and that there is even
strong possibility of the. declaration
of the long dreaded holy war.
NJ. Clemenceau appears to have
struck a popular note by his handling
of the delicate situation, and the vio-
lent attacks of the socialist leaders
have no longer any appreciable effect
The French public feels that Premier
Clemenceau is merely carrying out
the obligations assumed by France
and Spain at Alegciras of keeping or
der at the sea ports of Morocco.

Frank E. Smith, the dairyman, is highly and justly indignant over the loss of fine COW which was poisoned by some miscreant last Friday night. The COW ate the same feed as the balance of the herd, 80 poisoning is the only way her death can be accounted for.

Any person who would stoop so low as to infict q loss of this kind by putting out poison is not fit to live in community which holds any claim 10 civilization.
