At
a
meeting
of
district

last
evening
in

various

and

A

was

of
Uie

There
is
suu
a

for

It

cannot
organic
unless

people
give
tneir
tun

active
support.
The
amount
of
work
done
by
the
district

and
their
helpers
has
been
considerable.

We

also
increased

The
young
sultan
of
Morocco,
who
at
31
has
been
holding
the
job
for
14
years,
is
an
influential
figurehead.

But
in
the
difficult
situation
France
was
forced
into
by
defeat,
the
sultan
is
playing
an
important
role.
The
resident

of

has
found
him
a
valuable
friend.

Last
summer
the
sultan
spent
several
weeks
making
a
series
of
visits
to
various
provincial
capi
tals.
These
were
staged
with
great
pageantry.
There
are
not
many
anecdotes
about
the
sultan.

of

of
these
was
Moulay

How

a

It

that

The

brought
the

to

the
