MOROCCAN WAR.
THE EFFECT UPON THE MOORISH POPULATION.

The Berbers, who inhabit the fertile oplands north of Wezzan, are peace-loving folk, and to Bee them on a recent August morning busy in the fields, threshing bar |ley" and filling grain-bags under 4 scorch- ing sun, one would scarcely have guessed that the war had yet come this way. writes correspondent of The Tiers. But a little way off a train of heavy jaden asses and camels bearing eastwards along
piste, a band of waren and children trudging wearily behind, told different tale. Mapy such caravans were now hastening back to Wezzan, taking with them all that could be saved from the 6cks and homes, while the men-folk stayed behind to finish the harvest and defend the tribal lands.
ARMED BANDS. Meeting with stubborn resistance in front of Fez, Abd el Krim had lately turned his attention to the western flank.. where he hoped by roncentration in ipnt of Sheshyan to divide the French un Spanish lines on the Lukkus river and to press the Jabala tribesmen over the rich plains of the Gharh where they should eventually surround the saintly city of Wezzan. During the last few days the duneolatred stretches of country cast- ward of the newly reaped field where we stood had been full of disturbance; hands of Jabala, aried and organised under Rit regulars, bad filtered through from their own mountains to the undulating corn- lands and lodged themselves in dominat- ing positions, such as the Jebal Sarsar. Thence they an down at night burning and palaging the defenceless fatus anil threatening the villages with annihilation if they did not join them in the war against the Nazarenes. These sudden inroads were the first form of Rif pro- pagann to reach this tribe, and the people in the douars were at first stricken with panic. But the sheikhs held council and ordered all to hold fast. The harvest must be gleaned first, though aghting should follow after. While the crop was in the Felds it must be saved before all else. As for the war, as Allah had writ ten so would it come to pass.
FIGHTING THE MARAUDERS. Then the French propaganda" had started. The harvesters discerned troops moving here and there across the treeless landscape: a cloud of dust following a battalion of tirailleurs, guns and traffic on the Alruzar Road, acroplanes buzzing overhead, and every now and then the distant bark of a battery of 75 Our friends soon made up their minds, and, preferring the French form of propaganda to that of the Rias, enrolled their tribe as partisans. Thereupon they received rifies, distributed at the nearest sus, and kept them by their side while working in the fields.
There followed a few stirring days of scattered Sighting. In the sweltering heat of a sirocco blowing over exposed coun- "try small mobile units surrounded the hil
positions and gradually cleared the whole area of the Jabala maraudersSo that already to-day the refugees that left that morning are returning to their menfolk and their fields, and the best of the bar- vest is either, in the market of Wezzan er being transported in camel-loads to the coast. For all their terrorism the raiders were only, half-hearted; since the fall of Raisull the Jabala tribes had been constantly molested by the Spaniards en one side and the Rifs or the other. Abd el Krin had made Hariro. their lender, his lieutenant," and through him had obliged them to make, war against the French by harrying beyond their own borders. They feel like hired soldiers and would be glad if an opportunity arises before long to regain their lost independence.
The state of affairs in this Western sector is representative of the situation all along the front during these weeks af comparative hull
HALF HEARTED. - Both sides are preparing for the major operations which will come with the cooler weather, and are doing their best to secure the help of the local natives. For the nature of the country the great length of the line and the difficulty of communications and supplies all make it extremely important that the tribes who are sitting on the fence should be a help and a hindrance. And their be haviour is exasperatingly difficult to fore- cast, so that a great deal rests with the officers de reseignment and with the con. troleurs civiles, whose reports and coun- Belk have to be taken into careful account by the French staff before making tactical dispositions.

CAPT. SCOTT CRITICISED.
COLLEAGUE WHO THOUGHT. HE LACKED MAGNETISM.
Some críticžame of Scott, the Antartic explorer, appear in the reminiscences of Captain Albert B. Armitage, just pub fished under the title of" Cadet to C'om-

| Captain Armitage had had three years in the Arctic with the Barmsworth Ex- pedition of the nineties, and when asked to join Scott as navigator on the first soyage of the Discovery (1901-1904) he says he was reluctant to go,
He went, however, and testifies to Scott's character, charm and courage, but speaking of this voyage he says:-
"Scurvy, the scourge which was she prime cause of Scott and his, party ping" during his next expedition. appeared among us by reason of iger. perience, and was one of the causes of, disagreement between Scott and myself.
He had too great a belief in our tinged meats, and a sentimental objection to slaughtering seals in anything like the number requisite for our winter's supply.
In vain Koetlitz and I pointed out that it was no wers to kill 100 meals than to kill one in order to preserve our bealth. But no, Scott was of that type of man who must proves thing himself more than quce, And in the Polar re gions the proof is only too often death"
Captain Armitags says he was told by Scott to and a pass between the lofty mountain peaks of South Victoria Land, to "the west, and again the inland plateau if such existed.

Athletic, brainy, with a keen, quiok intelligence, great courage and charming manners, he had not to my mind that magnetic quality which would have made me follow him in all thinga. This I re- cognised from the beginning.".
Captain Armitage was in Port Said: when he heard that anxiety was being felt about the second expedition (1910).
When he heard that Evans had scurvy he expressed the opinion, he says, that the party would certainly reach the Pole, but quite as certainly they would not succeed in getting back unaided to their basc.
"NO WAY BUT RESIGNATION." The author prints a letter from Scott, written while the first expedition was being prepared, and when there was a. good deal of dissension behind the sondes.
**Things are now in a condition," wrote Scott, from which I can see no way out but resignation."
However, says Captain Armitag", "Sir Clements Markham, Scott and I had a pow wow over it, and the two of us got Scott to stick to his guns."
Scott commanded the National An-

His seond expedition set out in June, 1910, and on November gåd, 1911. he started on his famous journey of 850 miles to the 'Pole, accompanied by Dr.
A. Wilson, Captain L. E. G. Ontes, Lieutenant H. R. Bowers and Petty Officer Evans. On January 17th, 1912, he reached the Pale, only to find Amund- men's tent and records left there one month earlier, and the return journey, during which the party perished of star- vation in a succession of blizzards, forms one of the epies of Antarctic exploration.
