The French Foreign Minis ter StartIeS the Government
STRONGLY URGED TOSTAY
H. Delcasse Gives Way Under Criti- ciSmS Of His Course in the Morocco Matter and in Neutrality Questions Arising in the Far East.

Paris. April 21.-After a service of nearly eight years in the division of foreign affairs, Theophile Delcasse to- day informed President of the Council Rouvier of his desire and intention of resigning. The announcement came as surprise and shock to NJ. Delcasse's colleagues of the cabinet who took steps to endeavor to secure a reconsid- eration of his determination The cab met council was held this afternoon at which NJ. Rouvier, in the absence of M. Delcasse, laid the situation before the ministers. It was the unanimous de- termination Of the council that the in- terests of the country at this time re- quired M. Delcasse's retention of the portfolio of foreign affairs. At the con- clusion of the council NJ. Rouvier pro ceeded to Quai DOrsay. where he held an extended conference with the min ister of foreign affairs. The president of the council, voicirg the wishes of President Loubet and the ministers. earnestly besought M. Delcasse to re- tain his place in the cabinet.
 It is evident that NJ. Rouvier's earn est appeal caused M. DeIcasse to waver his determination. When the presi- dent of the council came from the in terview he stated to his colleagues that he bore favorable impression of its results. NJ. Delcasse, he said. had given no final answer but had promised to reserve his determination until to- morrow. when 2 final answer will be given. It is believed that NJ. Delcasse will yield to the insistence of Presi- dent Loubet and the president Of the council.
 The motives leading Up to Nj Del casse's sudden determination % retire from the cabinet are primarily attri- buted to internal controversies over the Moroccan question; and this to some extent has been accentuated by similar controversies regarding the French neutrality in the far east. The opposition has been quick to seize upon both questions and headed by the so- cialists and nationalists. have directed their criticisms against NJ. DeIcasse The socialist criticisms have been par ticJlarly vehment during recent days on the Moroccan question and this ap- pears to have finally decided M. Del casse to surrender the question into other hands It is felt that his re- urement now would be hailed in Ger many as a German triumph. and this is one of the main considerations lead ing NJ. Rouvier to earnestly appeal to NJ. Delcasse to remain in the foreign office. The news of M. DeIcasse's in tentions made a profound impression in the chamber of deputies where it was at first received with incredulity.
 It was stated at the foreign office late this afternoon that no representations of any kind have been presented by Great Britain concerning neutrality At the same time it is anticipated that some such representations will be made. Anything like an energetic pro- test from Great Britain at this time would deeply wound France. who re- lies on the Anglo-French entente as a counterpoise to Germany's menaces over Morocco.

GOOD CITIZENSHIP.

Gov. Folk, of Missouri, always
says something worth hearing or
reading At the Vanderbilt Univer-
sity commencement banquet at Nash
VILE Monday night he said on good
government and good citizenship:
at is one thing to be against
wrong; it is quite another thing to
fight wrong. One is a non-combat-
ant that never won a cause. the other
a soldier in the fight. Good citizens
need TO become more aggressive. The
man that Is afraid to show his colors
and stand in the open against evils
is of little benefit to good govern
ment. The country needs soldiers
of peace as well as soldiers of war;
Monroe proclaimed the doctrine OF
America for Americans. The Mis-
souri, doctrine inverts that phrase
and applies II both ways. Americans
for America is the slogan that needs
to be sounded now"
These words are worthy of the
earnest consideration of all. whether
in the village or city. They can be
applied with equal force to the city,
state and national government. The
cry is going up all over the country
TO put the CRATER out. but there is
only one way to do 1.-THE people
themselves must go to every mass
convention, great or small, must
vote in every primary and election,
big or little. and GUST the CRATER and
his representative bag and baggage.
Politics is responsible for the graft
er, and the only way to get rid OF
him is TO purify politics, The way
10 purify politics is for honest, patri-
otic. men to go TO the polls or the
convention and vote out the politi-
clans.
