THE GEOGRAPHICAL REVIEW THE GEOGRAPHICAL REVIEW THE GEOGRAPHICAL REVIEW one of the least known and darkest parts of Africa though nearer to Europe than any other African land. All this is being changed under French rule. Wireless telegraphy connects all parts of the country, and over 8,000 miles of telegraph wire has been strung. Agricultural, horticultural, arboricultural, veterinary, and meteorological services have been established, and agricultural fairs are held. Some railroads also are building. The French have, thus far, extended their influence chiefly in the Atlantic and Mediterranean ports and their wide hinterland, covering about half of the best part of the country. At the head of the whole project stands General Lyautey, Resident General, a man of great tact and resource, under whose direction all phases of the work have gone steadily forward. The book contains a store of information on topics relating to the protectorate, the excellent relations between the French and the natives, property and the methods of transferring it, principal towns and ports, river navigation, highways, agriculture, forests, industries, commerce, and finances. All the information on physical features and climate is to be found in the chapter headed "Agriculture." These natural factors, on which development so largely depends, are scantily treated; but the outlines of topography and weather and their effects upon the people and their enterprises are briefly noted. The population of the entire French zone is estimated at 5,400,000. Most of Morocco is under French control; but Tangier, the leading port, is under international management, and a comparatively small area, partly in the north (the Rif) and partly in the extreme south (Rio de Oro), is governed by Spain.
