FRANCE ALARMED At
MOROCCO CRISIS
Trouble With Germany Over
Treaty Now Looms on
Horizon.
MUST SEND ARMY At ONCE
Diplomats Fear Algeciras Treaty
Must Be Ignored Before
Moors Are Whipped.

Paris, Sept 5-The imbroglio with
the natives of Morocco is entering upon
a new phase. in which trouble for
France is looming large on the hori-
zon
France is just awakening TO the SER
iousness of the situation in Morocco
and the possibility of its leading France
into diplomatic difficulties with the
other powers OF Europe, notably Ger
many and Great Britain.
Then there is the apparently grow
ing necessity Of increasing the size of
the French force on the Moroccan coast
while the press is calling attention to
the difficulty OF keeping within the
terms OF the Algeciras convention.
The call to convoke parliament to
discuss and decide what course the ma
ton should pursue is becoming more
insistent There is a growing feeling
that the important decisions in the
matter Of Frances policy in Morocco
should not be left entirely to the mem
bers of the cabinet.
Call 1t Real War.
The seriousness of the fighting OF
Tuesday, in which Major Provot of the
foreign legation was killed, further de-
tails of which are published today. has
brought home to the French people a
comprehension of the persistent resist
ance of the Moors and a realization
that France may be only at the thresh-
hold of a protracted campaign that
may easily prove costly in lives and
money.
The situation is now referred TO as a
war" and no longer, as heretofore, as
an expedition of pacification."
No other power yet has been drawn
into the difficulty, but Germany is
watching the progress of events in
Morocco more closely every day, and
as it becomes apparent that the sit
uation there is not improving 1t is In
timated in Berlin that the AIgeciras
convention, under the terms of which
France and Spain are acting in Nor
Deco. prescribes certain limitations, and
that France is approaching the bounds
beyond which che should not go with

sion of the powers.

ROOSEVELT CALLS A

A meeting of ambassadors the latter
part OF the month or early in October

ambassadors will be addressed either by

called together. After that the presi-
dent will invite them to arrange for
further meetings.
So far as can now be seen, nothing
in the way of treaties will result. There

is the death or abdication of the empress

Hughes Pays Tribute.
Governor Hughes in accepting the

tribute to the martyred president.
Speaking of the assassination of Presi-
dent Mckinley while speaking at the
Buffalo exposition in 1901, he said:
Here was marked the tragic ter
mination of a great career. Here in
an awful moment there were revealed
in sudden lurid flash the opposing
forces whose conflict is the history of
mankind. At time of rare prosper
ity, when American industry and COM
merce were celebrating their triumphs
with every circumstance of proud dis
play in a city of almost unprecedented
progress. the powers of darkness moved
to their attack and in an Internal
frenzy of hate an abject creature struck
down the foremost and best loved of
American citizens. Never did evil com
NIT more dastardly deed. The victim
was the chosen representative of the
American people, no less representative
in his death than in his life.

A golf club proved effective in putting

said she should he contented to stay at

Well. she wasn't. and she went TO that

AT the end of her year she took her

OTHER SIDE OF STAGE LIFE
4 MORNING IN 4 BUILDING Of
THEATRICAL OFFICES.

Employment for Few VI the Men and
Women who Go the Round OF thc

pher and the wise Elevator BOY.
A morning spent in one Of the big build
ings on Broadway devoted almost exclu-
sively TO theatrical Offices is like stepping
out Of the beaten track OF life into an en-
tirely pow world. In one Of these build
ings 800 Of the $50 Offices are rented TO
theatrical agents and managers
The people you meet in the building
are also almost exclusively of theatrical
types. There 10 the old actor. He
is usually thin and his ~cheekbones are
high. His hair is sparse and gray and
his clothes are shabby. but he has an air of
alert cheerfulness which might deceive il
you did not notice occasionally that a
shadow passes across his face.
Following him as contrast come a trio
OF young men. From their talk II is learned
that they began AZ students in a dramatic
school and then concluded that they could
not wait FOR Fame in that slow way. They
had been seeking speaking parts for six
weeks and had not succeeded.
They confided 20 the questioner that they
couldn't understand what the public saw in

sentatives Of the younger generation.
but they re not up to the newest methods"
Then in a quiet corner they pool their
issues and count how much can be spcu,
on the MONDAY meal.
An electric brougham drives up to the
door and from il steps a chorus girl. She
would scorn the suggestion that she had
come there to seek employment. but
she is found later in a dark corner Of a big
room filed with noisy applicants.
Coming from opposite directions a man
and woman meet. pass each other, stop with
startled recognition ans retrace their
steps. They had played in stock twenty
years ago in the middle West for a whole
season. II was plain that there had been
at least a flicker Of sentiment.
