Some interesting facts about the

their existence TO European initiative.
The foreign representatives at Fec and
Tangier thought II necessary to reach
the better class of the people through
newspapers. They, therefore. engaged
some newspaper men from Syria, and
two papers printed in Arabic were
started in Tangier. I'll Saada in 1904
and I'll Allah in 1906.
Both, being under European infu.

towering rage many of the leading
men of Fee, who had turned Add ell

They decided that the great party

Of the editor of a miserable newspa-

be yelping dog, a reprobate, a lost
creature, a traitor to his people and
his religion? God and the faithful
have branded such men and he can
deceive no one except himself.
Curses on you, you traitor and liar!
Do you think that Moroccans believe a
word that you say? Have you ever in
your life said anything that is true?
What you have written, you little cur

admiration the English newspapers
speak of him?
IF you were capable of being fair
and impartial or of telling the truth, |

too much honor, you little carcass of

the name OF justice that he has made

though this were not enough, is he
not seeking TO impose over us the au-
