THE MOROCCAN TROUBLE
FRENCH TROOPS ATTACKED. JOURNALISTS’ LIBEL ACTION. FEZ, January 17. The rebels attacked Dalbiez’s French column, but were repulsed by Colonel Bremond’s Moorish troops. I hey left many dead, and were pursued and routed. The Franco-Moorish casualties were slight. BERLIN, January 20. During the journalists’ libel actions arising out of the Pan-German-Moroccan campaign the evidence revealed that Mr Lloyd George’s'speech caused n reversal of the German policy. Herr vnn Kiderlen-Waechter, after the despatch of the Panther, informed a journalist that he wanted Mogade at least, while Herr Limmerman (Foreign Under-secre-tary) told the Pan-German League: “We stick to Agadir. We don’t want compensations. We want Morocco ; France offers Congo.” This was apparently a reference to M. Caillaux’s private overtures.
