FUTURE Of FRANCE A
PROVINCE OF germany

London, March 5.-Advices from
continental capitals quoting newspa-
per expressions in regard to the Alger-
icas conference show better than any
thing else the strained relations exist
ing between France and Germany.
Paris Temps. commenting on the
situation, says: In France there is
neither weakness nor nerv business. only
a unanimous resolution to safeguard
the national interests. 1t is to her in
terest to preserve the security of AL
geria, because in the event of trouble
arising i'll Algeria it would be necessa-
ry for France to send 100, 900 or 100, =
600 men there, and this would disor-
ganize the home defenses, leaving
France at the mercy of continental ag-
gressiOn
The German view is set forth in the
Staatsbuerger Zeitung, a Pan-t1erman
organ, which says: The Moroccan
controversy must lead to war sooner
or later. Even if the conference dis
perses without a very acute crisis, war
must inevitably come, and the end
will he the death of France. France
will share the fate of Alsace and Lor-
raine and become German crown
province, being ruled absolutely by
the German emperor

No clever. brilliant thinker she,
With college record and degree;
She has not known the paths of fame,
The world has never heard her name;
She walks in old, long-troddrn ways.
The valleys of the yesterdays.
Home is her kingdom. love is her DOVER
She seeks no other wand of power
TO make home sweet. bring heaven near,
To win a smile and wipe a tear,
And do her duty day by dry
In her own quiet place and way.
Around her childish hearts are twinet.
And following hers the childish feet
Are led to ideals true and sweet,
And find all purity and good
In her divinrs, motherhood.
She keeps her faith unshadowed still
God rules the world in good and i'll
Men in her creed are brave and true,
And women pure rs pearls Of dew.
And life for her is high and grand.

And hearts are happier whore she goes.
