FRANCE PLANS A
WAR OF CONQUEST
WILL SEEK TO SURROGATE MO-
ROCCO AND ENGLAND WILL
KEEP HER HANDS OFF.

PARIS, September 16.-Preparations
are already well advanced for the next
war of conquest i'm which a great
power will engage. The French Gov
eminent has determined to conquer and
annex Morocco, and preparations on
an extensive scale will probably be be-
gun within a few weeks.
This ambition of France is, of course
well known and well understood. What
II not well known and will not be easily
understood is that Great Britain has
consented to stand aside and to
abandon her almost traditional atti-
tude of protection of the royal preroga-
tives of the Sultan of this African
kingdom.
Less than ten years ago Great
Britain would not have hesitated to
have made war with France, if neces-
sary, in defense of the integrity of
Morocco. The Sultan las late as the
spring of the present year, relied with
absolute confidence upon British sup
! port. Whether he has yet become
aware Of its withdrawal is not known
| The explanation of this radical
change of policy on the part of the
British Government is only partially
clear. 1t has, at first glance, the APP
/ pearance of another Gave" and a
weak one at that. Its motive, how
ever, is undoubtedly the new effort
Britain is making to divorce Fance
| from her alliance with Russia. The
| concession was made by the British
! authorities at the time of the visit OF
! President Loubet to the King in July
/ last, and Delcasse brought back with
him to Paris the consent of Lord
! Lansdowne.
How much will be accomplished
toward the object aimed at by this
very substantial favor to the French
republic it is difficult to say. The
reaction against Russia in French
public opinion is considerable and il
increasing. 1t is especially strong IL
financial circles, where it is realized
that Russia has Systematically turned
French sympathy into coin from the
moment the alliance was announced
The compact is, however, still a factor
of prime Importance in international
politics and England cannot hope t
render it imperative today or to-
morrow by her friendly action witt
regard to Morocco.
The approaching campaign will b.
a subject of the keenest military in
terest, not alone to France but t
ali Europe. Nothing is known AM
much is suspected regarding the eff
fectiveness of the machinery and rer
sonnet of the French army. 1t ha
had no real last. The conquest o
Morocco will not he obild's play a
oil, though it involves nothing APP
preaching in magnitude the tas
which Great Britain assumed with
light heart when she sent Butler wit
$4,000 men to subdue the 45oers.

RoMAN1z1NG JAPANESE WRITING

Writing of the proposed changes in
don Times says: THE scheme, IL
adopted, will probably come into opera
tion at the beginning OF the next scho-
lastic year, leaving a few months for
er handbooks. The possibility of the
government setting aside the expert
advice is remote, and therefore it is
permissible to contemplate the Suggest
ton as something by no means chimer-
ical.
When accomplished, the Roman
ization of the Japanese language will
put the final touch of victory to that
revolution begun some forty years ago.
1t is difficult to realize in a small
measure what the step means to the
Japanese nation. Not only will COM
mercial relations be infinitely smpli-
fed; not only will ready intercourse
between native and European be made
a thousandfold easier and thus con-
tribute to the adjustment of political
difficulties; not only will the germs OF
western literature on the one hand and
the classics of Japan on the other be
rendered accessible to the ordinary
translator, but the whole wealth and
weight of European thought, opinion
and current criticism will become sus-
ceptible of reduction to a common me-
dunn, for the mere language of Japan
is fairly easy to acquire. The great
obstacle hitherto has been the practical
| impossibility of reaching the bulk Of
the people, who, acquainted only with
character writing and not much in con-
tact with western people, are still I'M
able to grasp the European aspect OF
events; but this suggestion, If carried
out, will remove that obstacle In fact,
the denomination of the written
tongue will mark the advent of Japan's
maturity, and to this end itk adoption
| in schools is essential"

A GOVERNMENT BY THE PEOPLE
FOR THE PEOPLE.

Editor The CHRONICLE:
The first principal or unit of govern
mentis lodged in the home of the citizen.
AS our homes became numerous it was
necessary for US to associate ourselves to-
gether for the betterment Of our condition
and also measures of defense and offense
against the encroaChments of other ma
tons. By the war of the Revolution the
Constitution of the United States was the
outcome-that famous and historic old
document which now reigns supreme over
our land. That ancient and famous old
Bird of the Constitution. the emblem of
Liberty and Freedom, has been made to
screech and scream with fear and alarm
by the strange bedfellows that have come
under her wing to occupy her nest.
In the broad field of battle,
In the bivouac of life,
BE not like dumb driven cattle
Be hero in the strife,
The first and most important step in
the perpetuation of our system Of govern
ment is the collection unit OF public
schools, which divisions should be made
sufficiently large and occupy land enough
to be self-sustaining With home rule
that is, each school district or house be
allowed to elect its own school board or
directors; make them independent in
stead of dependent and give them the
privilege of taxing themselves for the
benefit of the school. If this plan be
adopted think we will lessen the num-
Der Of illiterates, dependents and cnmi-
nails in our fair land.
1t is rather humiliating to be told
when we are living on one Of the most
beautiful and productive spots on this
old terrestrial ball-that we are III the
lowest grade in point OF education, and to
such an alarming extent that the school
officials and educators from all over this
broad land are going to meet in Nashville
next month to devise ways and means to
alleviate our pitiful condition.
The cities and county seats have schools
that are rarely excelled in any part OF the
Union, while the rural or country schools
