MOROCCO. T:H+EISS|uE |!
Represssentatiycsi i Ct Powers
eegin Notable Conference.
GATHERED IN ALGEClRAS
Question to Be Settled is Po!ici:J of
the Country Of the Mocrs, Which
-. icr Years r:as. 6csn Menace
tc the Outside World.

The opening CT the international
conference en- Moroccan reforms be
gan at Alseciras, Spain, at 3 O'clock
Tuesday Afternoon. ~-
The duke OF AlmoTodar, the Span
;sh minister OF foreign affairs, took
the initiative soon after arriving on
Monday in arranging plans for the
beginning OF the. deliberations. All
the delegates arrived during the day.
Interesting features Monday after
nocn were the landing OF Ambassa-
dor White, the. American delegate,
from the American protected cruiser
Galveston, and later the arrival OF
Samuel Gummeres, minister to Mo-
rocco, the second American delegate
from Tangier, on the French cruiser
Galilee.; The Galveston fred a ga.
lutte OF twenty7one guns as she drop
ped anchor of the pier. The Span
ish cruisers did not respond promptly,
but the land batteries roared an an
swering salute.
On landing Ambassador White was.
greeted by the governor general, and
the alcalde, who escortec ntn to his
hotel.
Mr.. Gummeres was similarly saluted
when be arrived on board the Gall
lee. -...
There is an undercurrent OF SEN
timent that a supreme diplomatic
struggle is eminent, with france and
Germany occupying the center.
The French count upon Great Brit
ain, Spain, Italy and Russia as sure,
and consider that the ties between
the United States and France and
Great Britain warrant them In ex-
pecting the support Of the American
delegates. On the ether hand, the
prevailing sentiment is that Germany
can count on Austria, Holland ana
Sweden, and, perhaps, on Denmark,
with Germany also expecting that the
United States will support some OF
her contentious.
The scene before the delegates to
the conference is suggestive. Plainly
visible three miles away rises the
gigantic rcck of Gibraltar, like a lion
guarding the straits, while dimly out
lined to the southwark are the low
mountains Of Africa. Algeciras hes
in the center Of this panorama. Thus
the powers CT the world are gathered
at the southernmost point of Europe,
and their longing looks toward Afri-
ca give the keynote to the meeting.

nririn of Ascot Races.

When did Ascot races begin? They
are mentioned in the first Racing Cal
endar," published in 1927, and the
usual statement is that they were
founded by the Duke of Cumberland,
uncle of George III. But an entry in
the accounts OF the master of the horse
In 1872 suggests that they were found
ed by Queen Anne on Aug. g. I'LL. The
truth, no doubt, is that Ascot races,
like many other august institutions,
gradually developed from a germ, so
that It Is difficult to say when they
really began. At any rate, they were
quite the sort of thing that enthusiast
of the turf, Queen Anne, would have
founded. She was thorough Stuart
I'm this passion. 1t was her great
grandfather, James l.. who encouraged,
II he did not establish, horse racing IN

Keen Sense of Humor.

"There is nothing like a sense OF
humor," said a naval officer, according
to the Philadelphia Bulletin. I'm a
woman. in soldier, in a sailor, in a
clerk. a sense of humor Is help and
a blessing through life. At the same
time even sense Of humor may exist
in excess. !, for my part shouldn't
care to have so great "A sense of humor
as a British soldier | once heard about.
This soldier was ordered to be logged.
During the floggmg he laughed CON
tlnually. The lash was laid on all the
harder, but under the rain of blows the
soldier laughed.
What are you laughing att the
sergeant finally asked.
"'Why.' the soldier chuckled, I'm

Three FACTS
For Sick Women
To Consider

FIRsr.-That almost every operation
In our hospitals performed upon women
becomes necessary through neglect OF
such symptoms as backache, irregular
and painful periods. displacements
of the female organs, pain in the side,
burning sensation in the stomach,
bearing down pains, nervousness, dig
illness and sleeplessness.
SEcosD.-The medicine that holds
the record for the largest number OF
absolute cures of female ills is Lydia
Z. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound
1t regulates, strengthens and cures
diseases of the female organism as
nothing else can.
For thirty years 1t has been helping
women to be strong, curing backache.
nervousness, kidney troubles. infiam-
nation of the female organs. weak
ness and displacements, regulating
the periods perfectly and overcoming
their pains. 1t has also proved itself
invaluable in preparing women for
childbirth and the change OF life.
THrRD.-The great volume of unso-
llClJtQ anu vi htN
at the Pinkham Laboratory at Lynn,
Mass, many of which are from time to
time published by permission, give alb.
solute evidence of the value of Lydia
f. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound and
Mrs. Pinkham's advice.
Mrs. Pinkham's Standing Invitation
to Women.-Women suffering from any
form of female weakness are invited to
promptly communicate with Mrs Pink
ham, at Lynn, Mass. All letters are
received, opened. read and answered
by women only. From symptoms given,
your trouble may be located and the
quickest and surest way of recovery
advised. Mrs. Pinkham is daughter
in-law of Lydia Z. Pinkham and for
twenty-five years under her direction
and since her decease she has been ad-
vising sick women free of charge. Outof
the vast volume of experience in treat
ing female ills Mrs Pinkham probably
has the very knowledge that will help
your case. Surely, any woman, rich OF
poor, is very foolish if she doesnot take
advantage of this generous offer OF
assistance.

dashed off at a tremendous speed. The
fishermen paid out as much line as
