Morocco has rare capacity for stir
ring up the European nations, not
withstanding the agreements which
were supposed to have sidetracked
the former troubles. The war in that
country in which Spain has been en-,
gagged, with some embarrassing re,

happy conditions in Morocco. Now
the Sultan has given offense to France,
and his attitude toward the powers is
reported as likely to "foreshadow
grave complications" In fact it may
be said that Morocco has superseded
the Balkan region as a political storm
