(By the Associated Press. }


Paris. Aug. 24.-At a special meet
ing Of the council Of ministers today 1t

stration will be made against Morocco
unless the Sultan promptly yields to
the French demands for the release
Of the French ALGERIAN citizen, a mer-
chant named Bouzian, who was un-
justifiably arrested at Gharb, Moroc-
can town on the ALGERIAN frontier
Instructions were sent to the
French minister al Fee, ST. Rene Tail
andier to make final and imperative
demand on the Sultan. The minister
was informed that if this demand
should be refused the entire personnel
of the legation was to depart from
Morocco and a military movement

ALGERIAN frontier.
1t is the intention of the military
authorities to occupy Moroccan

to it's strategic command of the route
to the Moroccan capital. However,
the officials are confident that the Sui
tan will yield before the threat of
using military force.

''The Flight of Youth"

There are gains for all our losses,
There are balms for all our pain:
But when youth, the dream departs,
1t takes so Aething from our hearts,
And it never comes again.
We are stronger, we are better.
Under manhood's sterner reign
Still we feel that something sweet
Followed youth, with flying feet,
And will never come again.
Something beautiful is vanished,
And we sigh for it in vain;
We behold it everywhere,
On the earth and in the air.
But it never comes again.

FEDERAL LICENSE.
Secretary MeteaIf's Plan for controll-

Washington.-Victor II. Metcalf. sec
retary of commerce and labor. in his
annual report, says: The work OF the
Bureau of Corporations has developed
along the lines indicated in the first
annual report of the commissioner. Its
most important work of legal nature
has been the further study of the plan
proposed in the first report for the SUI
pervision and regulation, by federal
license of corporations, engaged in in
terstate and foreign commerce. The
inadeQuacy OF state legislation to reg
ulate or control in any proper measure
the corporations engaged in interstate
commerce has been most clearly dem
onstrated. The great railway systems
and the greater industrial corporations
extending their operations through
many states. some through the entire
United States, are but nominally su-
pervised or controlled by the states
from which their charters were OBJ
tanned. Some of these corporations
have shown not only disregard for
state laws, but have become potent fac
tors in directing the political policies
of the state.

that real supervision, real regulation.

those during any year prior to 1908.
and 213.629 in excess of the arrivals in

which those immigrants are derived.
It is interesting to note that, compared
with the corresponding figures for the
