GERMANY'S ACT
LIKE LIGHTNING
FROM CLEAR SKY
European Powers Surprised at
Demands of Kaiser That
Rule of MuIai Hafid Be Rec
ognized.
FRANCE is ALARMED BY
UNEXPECTED AFFAIR.
Considered Generally That
Contention Over Morocco
Has Brought France and
Germany Near Another War.

Paris, Sept Sit is the general
opinion of French diplomats and the
press that Germany has broken up
the concert of the Powers in Morocco.
Like a bolt of lightning from clear
sky came the official demand from
Berlin that the signatories to the AL
geciras conference recognize the rule
of Mulai Hafid, the usurping Sultan.
This followed closely on the dispatch
to Fee of DR.. Vasdel, the German con-
sui, to treat with the pretender.
Officials can see in Germany's &C
ton only virtual proclamation of her
intention to disregard the Algeciras
act and seek special position in Mo-
rocco for herself The consequences,
both in the international and the
French standpoint, are expected to be
deplorable.
In answer to Germany's call for re-
cognition of Mulai Hafid before he
was entered into any engagements
with Europe. fanatical Arabs who had
been gathering on the Algerian from
tier attacked yesterday the French
post at Boudenib.
France and Spain are now elaborat-
ing program of the demands to be
presented Mulai Hafid for the safe
guarding of the common interests of
Europe and America in Morocco.
These demands are to be submitted
to the signatories of the Algeciras act
as soon as they are completed, and
the Powers were SO notified eight
days ago.
Now Germany comes forward with
a proposition to recognize Mulai Hafid
before he had given any guarantee.
This, it is claimed, amounts to un-
doing the work of the Algeciras con-
ference and reverting to the status
quo ante. The Powers will now have
to decide between the position of Ger
many and that of France.
The French press is unanimous in
considering Germany's action provo
cative and productive Of an acute cris-
is.
Dangerously Near War.
1t is considered generally that the
contention over Morocco has brought
Germany and France dangerously
near war. The position of Morocco
commanding one of the gateways of
the editerranean, has excited the
European Powers to keen rivalry in
securing a preponderance of influ-
ence over that country Great Brit
ain for time held the chief influence
but as result of Anglo-French un-
derstanding Great Britain yielded to
France The French influence devel-
oped steadily until the unexpected Wis
1t OF the Emperor of Germany to Tan
gier, when his declaration that Ger
many would insist on the continued
and complete independence of Moroc-
CO from exclusive foreign control
startled the European Powers and
brought the French British program to
a sudden halt.
Reports then were current that both
countries had repaired for war. 1t
was during this crisis that the great
Powers were assembled at the Alge-
ciras conference The present excite
ment in Paris is a renewal of the form
er Franco-German feeling over Mo-
rocco.

GIVE, NATION AN ISLAND
GENEROUS ACT OF MRS RUSSELL
SAGE AND MISS WARNER.

Oyster Bay, N. Y, Sept 9.-Consti'
tuition island, In the Hudson river, on

Sage, and Miss Anna Bartlett Warneh
to be added to the United States mill
tary reservation Of West Point and
used by the United States militar1

cepted the generous gift in behalf Of
the nation.
Only through the patriotic motives
Of Miss Warner and the generosity OF
Mrs. Sage was 1t possible to add the
beautiful island TO the West Point
reservation and save 1t from It being
turned into a summer resort or used
for manufacturing purposes. Repeat
ed efforts to have the federal govern
ment purchase the island have failed
A bill appropriatlng $4,000 to buy 1t

never passed the house. Mrs. Sage, In
her letter to President Roosevelt, in
which she makes the gift, says that
in view Of the pecunlary sacrifice
made by Miss Warner in refusing to
sell the island to private parties at q
price much larger than that which she
proposed to sell It at to the govern
ment, she has made Miss Warner a
doner with herself Of the property to
the United States government. Mrs.
Sage also stipulates that Miss Warner
shall, during her life, have the right to
reside on the island. as at present,
and keep all the privileges she now
