of Gould differs from the ordinary in as

Tho positions of France and Germany
have now been clearly disclosed. Each
country. supported by several other pow
ers. holds tonaclously to its own princi-
ple of settlement, namely: France for
special recognition in Morocco because OF
her geographical and historical relation
to Mrocco; and Germany for a strict ap-
rlicatlon OF the doctrine OF equal treat
ment of all countries in the future OF Mo-
rocco.
Both the Paris and Berlin governments
saw that a controlling Influence could be
exercised In Morocco either through the
command Of the semi-milltnry police or
by holding tho Moroccan purse. France
has indicated that she might give up the
police administration provided she were
allowed paramount position in the
state bank organization, which will repro

The fact that the United States gov
eminent declined to allow flag of the
Confederate States of America to be
placed upon the bier of General Joseph
Wheeler, thereby causing dissatisfaction
and comment among Confederate veter
ans who were present, has leaked out.
The casket containing the body Of Gem
eral Wheeler. 1t seems, reached WASH
ington from New York with both United
States flag and Confederate flag upon
1t. Before 1t was taken TO St Johns
Church. however. where the body was to
lie IN State. the Confederate flas was
removed from it.
This Is what caused comment among
veterans of Camp ~, and there We're
some outspoken words of dissatisfaction
because of the action of the government.
Called On President.
On the day of the funeral members OF
Camp A were received at the White
House by President Roosevelt. 1t was
after this reception that several South
erners, both ladies and gentlemen. inter-
ested themselves in the matter, and as
a result, Brigadier-Gencral a. j. West,
Ol tAlifiDtd, WHO lne OONleu-
crate veterans in this section. began max
ing inquiries. He went to tho White
House, but failed TO see President Roose-
welt, as the Chief Executive had already
gone to lunch. Secretary Loeb suggested
that General West confer with Secretary
Taft, of the War Department.
At the War Department General West
was referred to Major-General John c..
Bates. chief of staff, and the latter ex-
planned to the entire satisfaction OF Cen
eral West.
II seems that the government has a
regulation upon this subject. 1t provides
that in q military funeral no flag except
that of the United States may be used.
Upon the advice of General Gates, Cen
eral West took no further action. as the
time until the funeral occurred wds then

these facts were confirmed yesterday
by General West, who said In addition
that there was no dscourtesy interded
ny any official of the government, ard
that he. while investigating the matter,
was treated in the most courteous man
ner possible.
Flag Thrown Into Grave.
Even the regulations of the govern
ment. however, did not prevent General
Wheeler from being buried with the Con-
federate flag.
There was as sweet an old lady as 1
have ever looked upon,' said General
West yesterday, "who stood close to the
grave. She held Confederate flag. made
of silk, and draped in crepe. Just as the
coffin of General Wheeler was lowered
into the grave, she threw the flag upon
