FRANCE IS AGITATED
While Seeking TO Preserve Outward
Calm, the Entrance Of Germany In
to Mediterranean Affairs Has In
wardIy RuffIcd the Temper Of the
MercuriaI Frenchmen.

Paris, April 1.--Germany's advent in
the Mediterranean as shown by En-
peror Williams visit to Morocco and
Chancellor Won Buelow's speech, is the
absorbing question of the day. Here
tofore France has dealt with Germany
on the north, but now for the first time
Germany makes her appearance in the
south and asserts she has strong in
terests in the territory bordering on
the Mediterranean. The Latin nations,
namely Italy, Spain and France, have
thus far considered the Mediterranean
as their, special sphere of activity, al
tho Great Britain's control of the two
gateways, Gibraltar and Suez, also
gives her commanding position in the
Mediterranean. Naturally, therefore,
Germany's appearance upon this ex-
elusive field is as unexpected as her
appearance at Kiaochou, China, as a
factor in the Chinese territorial ques-
ton. The fact that Germany has not a
coast line in the Mediterranean, while
the Latin nations have extensive
coasts, lends additional significance
to Germanys entering the Med
iterranean sphere. Officials here con-
tin,1e to view the situation calmly.
They are especially desirous of having
other nations, particularly the United
States. take a sympathetic view of
Frances policy and purposes in Moroc-
CO. The sequel to the present COM
plication arouses considerable sollcl-
tude. 1t is maintained Germany 8
claim to have the open door indefinite
ly prolonged would result in giving
Germany commercial privileges ex-
ceeding those of other powers and that
it would probably lead other powers
to ask for similar indefinite extern
sion of the open door, thus requiring
Morocco to surrender her commerce
without any return. Therefore the pol
icy of France seems to be to give Ger
many adequate assurance of the same
treatment in Morocco as the rest of the
world, but no privileges beyond those
heretofore accorded to other powers.
Beneath the dignified external calm
considerable irritation prevails in gov
ernment quarters here. However this
does not show a menacing tone. The
attitude of the press is also free from
menace.
Berlin, April 1.-The correspon-
dent of vossiscl1e seitung at Tangier

The spirit of improvement has struck
Smyrna this spring in an unusual de-
gree and a number of properties are
being adorned with a new coat of
paint or materially changed by the ad-
dition of porches and other extensions.
Smyrna would do we'll if it adopted a
plan inaugurated in several western
towns of having a Municipal House
cleaning Day." In.seversl towns the
Mayor issues a proclamation every
spring, setting aside special day for
cleaning and improving property. In
Lincoln, Nebraska. two days were re-
Gently devoted to such work, and in
Ashland, Nebraska, the school super
intsndent dismissed the schools for
the day, in order that the children
might assist in the work, and the Pres
ident of the Board of Health furnished
free wagons for the disposal of garbage
and rubbish. The work of cleaning
back yards and alleys and vacant lots
was entered into with will, and it was
admitted that Ashland had never worn
so clean a dress before. The Health
officers reported great improvement
in the sanitary conditions of the city.
The Boston Advertiser says that a
young woman in Western city is re-
sponsible for the remarkable improve
ment which has lately taken place in
the appearance of the town and here
is tip for our club women of the
Twentieth Century Club. The Adver-
tiser gives all the credit to a college
girl and says that "during her vaca-
tions she visited the beautiful homes
of her friends and when she returned,
,aftskeradqation, to the paternal roof,
If struck her as being extremely
shabby. She had TIE, house painteds q
pretty colonial yellow. She put avn
ings on the windows and verandas,
had the fences taken down and the
lawns properly cared for. Then she
served tea every afternoon on the YER
.anda, and her friends thought it all sc
nice that they went home determined
TO do likewise. The fences came dowr
all along the street, and in the other
streets the houses took on new color'
and the lawns bloomed with velvetJ
green. The value of the property
rose and the municipal governmen
seeing there was financial profit il
beauty went in for pavements, parks
fountains and drives. Now there i
not more beautiful town in the Yves
