MILK
THE P. M S.
Postmaster Is
Called Upon and Gives
AWaV the Game

Lawton, Okla, Sept. l6.-Republican
postmasters in Oklahoma are finding
out that they didn't do all that was
expected Of them by the Taft machine
when they delivered the vote Of Okla
homa to the war secretary at Chicago
convention. N addition to this faith
fulness, they have been advised within
the last week that their chance for re-
appointment, in the event Of Taft's
election will depend upon liberal con-
tributions to the Republican state and
national campaign funds. One OF these
letters sent out generally to the post
masters in Oklahoma came to a Demo
crat who had been given the postoffice
down In Comanche county in the vii
lage Of Nellie, where no Republican
could be found who would take charge
Of the office. A few days ago, R. =,
Sharp, the Democratic postmaster at
Nellie, received letter from the Re
publican COMMITTEES. stating that he had
been assessed five dollars TO help pay
the expenses Of the campaign. The
letter was couched in clever terms
which, while saying nothing directly
read to one initiated, in letters as LONG
as a fence post, that unless he came
through, there would be a new face in
the postoffice at Nellie after Taft's
election.

MOROCCO'S FRESH ROW
HISTORY OF TROUBLE OVER
THE SULTANATE.
Special Cablegram 10 The Star.

Special Cablegram 10 The Star
PARIS, January 11.-Mulai Hafid the
brother of the Sultan of all Morocco,
Abd-el-Aziz, who some months ago was
proclaimed Sultan Of Morocco City, was
proclaimed sultan at Fee January 4. the
sultan of record having been fromally
deposed.
The latest reports state that Fec is
lin an uproad, and that there IS great dam
ger of lawless outbreaks and massacre
Couriers are now on their way to Moroc-
co City to summon Mulai Hafid to Fez.
and 1t is understood that he will receive
strong support as sultan on condition
that he meets the demands of the peo-
pie. which include the abolition of taxes
and the suppression of all relations with
Europeans.
Anti-Foreign Feeling.
The French government is greatly
wrought up about the proclamation Of
Mulai Hafid as sultan and the declara-
ton of holy war at Fez. France and
Spain, acting officially for the powers.
must recognize Abd-el-Aziz az the legit-
innate sultan so long as the official
government remains in his hands.
But Mulai Hafid in the past year has
shown unexpected strength in the de-
velopment of his forces. and the present
situation means the indefinite prolonga-
tion of the stay of the French and the
Spanish troops in Morocco.
Much aptagonism has been aroused
against Abd-el-AZiz because of his close
relations with the Europeans, and it
was because of this friendly associa-
ton that Mulai Hafid and his followers
were able to arouse the fanaticism of
the southern Moors. 1t is reported that
even the imperial troops at Fez have
announced their allegiance to the newly
proclaimed sultan. The French and
Spanish governments, therefore, already
are taking steps to increase the policing
force at the various coast cities where
Europeans would be in the most dam
ger.

GERMAN PIPE DREAM
PROF. BURGESS FURNISHED
THE DOPE.

Special Cablegram to The Star.
BERLIN, January 1.-THE public ad-
vocacy by former Exchange Prof. John
w. Burgess of Columbia, who recently
completed his term at Bonn University, of
an offensive and defensive alliance be-
tween Germany and the United States.
naturally finds strong support in political
and general circles in this country. The
obvious advantage to Germany of such
compact are SO tremendous that it is no
wonder all Germans from the kaiser
down eagerly welcome it. 1t would
break the ring fence which King Ed
ward has built around the country and
revive all the emperor's ambitious dreams.
Views Of an Editor.
An eminent publicist who forbids the
use of his name on the ground that he
has often been embarrassed by the press
insisting that he reflects the kaisers
views, spoke e.sh Enthusiastically on the SUBJ
ject to The Star correspondent today,
although he expressed doubts about the
American Senate consenting to the alli-
ance. He SAID:
THE Senate ought to consent to such a
treaty owing to the entirely different and
much closer relations existing today be-
tween the United States and Europe. as
compared with former times. Accordingly,
America might now make the same pro-
posal to Germany that she made in 1871
1851 p to Russia. Such an alliance would
be the best insurance for peace"
About Reciprocity.
Senator Beveridges proposal is also
heard of with satisfaction. If there is
little or no expectation of an alliance
politically. between America and Ger
many there is a good deal of hope of an
ultimate treaty of commerce. provided, of
course. Germany says that it can be
made on the basis of reciprocity. by
which equally. of course. Germany means
that, to use Hibernianism, America is to
do all the reciprocating. This is not
wholly unreasonable from the German
standpoint, for she argues that she has
done all that can be expected of her by
the recent provision extending to America
under the favored nation clause all the
advantages granted in recent treaties with
other countries.
