mentous meeting of the cabinet was

reply to Germauy's counter proposals
in the Moroccan negotiations.

Germany and pays particular atten-
ton To- the necessity Of maintaining
commercial equality for all, and Of
assurance to France of an absolutely
free hand politically in Morocco.

of suffering in this district, unless
help from some source shall be af-
forded, as many of the peasants are
destined to lose their crops and prac-
tically all else they have in the world.
The terror of the people here is
indescribable and there is good reason
for their fright. The region which
is covered by lava from previous
eruptiOns has been torn open by the
earthquake shocks which are Of fire.
quent occurrence Many of these
shocks are of great violence and the
peasants are fearing a repetition OF
the Messina disaster when thousands
of persons lost their lives
So far it is not known that there
has been any loss of life attributable
directly to the eruption or to the
earthquake shocks accompanying it:
but great suffering is certain to fol-
low the flight of the peasants from
their homes and the mortality among
the sick and the aged is sure to be
great.
No organized effort looking to the
relief of the sufferers has yet been
made but charity i'm individual cases
has been largely extended II is be-
lieved, however, that if matters be
come much worse. il will become
necessary for the government to take
charge Of affairs here and do some
thing for the relief of the poorer
class

I am almost willing to affirm that I
have heard some OF those horses say:
Why don't you put on the brakes ?
when the driver was asleep at an i'm.
portant stopping point. One ring OF the
bell was enough to tell them to stop
at the next crossing. and no amount Of
persuasion would induce them to start
until they heard the two clangs Of the
