GERMANY is REsoLUTE.
Determined Not to Yield Policing Of
Morocco to. France,

Berlin, Feb. 21.-The decision of the
French government to discontinue ri
vate negotiations between the French
and German delegates at Algeciras and
to take the disputed questions before
the conference is regarded here as an
Indication that the last phase of the
conference is beginning. The Germa5
government stands resolutely by it's
position not to yield the policing Of
Morocco to France, although fresh pro
posals looking toward a settlement
are likely to be made by neutral pow
ers.
The view taken of the situation by
the diplomats here is that it is doubt
full whether France and Germany can
be satisfied to break up the conference
without disposing OF the main ques-
lions in dispute.

FRA ELBERTUS AS PLAYWRIGHT
Roycroft Actors VIII Give Drama
About Justinian and Theodora.

Leigh M. Hodges in Philadelphia
North American.
Elbert Hubbard has written a
play.
In collaboration with Alice Hub
bard, his wife, this wizard of the
pen has done into a magic drama the
historical love story of Justinian and
Theodora--theme significant for the
far-famed Fera Elbertus of Philistia.
Along in October, when the even
ings are crisp enough to admit of
people acting strenuous love and
hate, the play will be given its first
performance, in the green courtyard
of the Mountain around which is
built the Phalansterie-the Roycroft
Inn. The actors will all be honest
Roycrofters, though neither of the
authors will take part.
Then the world outside this pleas
ant village may have a chance to
see it, for Marc Klaw, of Klaw &
Erlanger, has read the manuscript,
and says it will do, with the addition
of some stage business" Just when
it will be put on there stage is not
yet decided.

The Motor Boat of the Future

Steam yachts are fast becoming a
drug on the market and many million
aires are disposing of theirs at greatly
reduced prices and replacing them with
larger motor boats. Experts believe
that before long there will be gasoline
boats afloat at least two hundred feet
long. Experts in medicine long ago de
cided that Hostetter's Stomach Bitters
was the leader among remedies for the
stomach, liver and bowels. and from a
standpoint OF merit, reliability and
cures was far ahead of n other medi.
cine. 1t has been this assurance that
persuaded thousands of sickly people
to try the Bitters, with the result that
they have since enjoyed better health.
