Gained the popularity and vitality or its carrier
phases.
Meanwhile the attitude not only OF spain
Frances active partner in the Morocco pu'i-
naes hut also Of Italy, and even of Austria
Hungary whose attention is just now lar hioi
engrossed by events in Herzegovina and Bosnia
than in Morocco clearly indicates that the isola-
4ion Of Germany in Europe was never before so
complete as it is to-day The terms Of the JOINT
French Spanish note which in q few hours VIII
be communicated to the signatory powers OIL
the Aigeciras convention embody the hlinliha
of guarantees that Will be required from Muial
Hafg as a condition precedent to his recogni-
ton in diplomatic circles here.
The motives of the extraordinary step taken
by the German Foreign Office were due, first OF
all 10 a vain desire to offer a sop to the ma
tional party of colonial expansion and jngoisns;
second. to spasmodic attempt to steal march
upon France and the other powers which by the
Algeciras conference put a curb on German ag
gressiveness in Morocco, and, third. to fore5tall
France in the good graces of Mulai Hafg
Whether these aims will be reached or not it is
for Europe to decide. France, with calm dig
nifty and absolute confidence that her cause IS
fair and just. awaits approval of the Joint note
which she and Spain are submitting to the
powers.
Turning from the sublime to the ridiculous it
is noted that quite commotion has arisen at
Nice and Monte Carlo because the tiny prtnci
pality of Monaco invaded by a French mill
tary force few days ago. Toward o'clock
in the morning the inhabitants of Monte Carlo
were awakened by the sounds of martial music
and looking out of their windows they saw
to their establishment, two regiments of French
infantry, with colors flying, marching the
Place du Casino. The fire brigade and the
Prince of Monaco's carabineers came hurrying
from their quarters. and amid general COM
motion a Jealous MonegasQue functionary
rushed up to the commanding officer and pro-
tested against such violation the frontier
Monsieur" he said, you have right here"
The colonel in command smngly explained
the presence Of the troops in the principality as
due to mistake They had taken the wrong
| turning, and before they were aware Of it had
crossed the line separating France from Monaco
AS evidence of friendly intentions the officer or
dered his band to play the Monegasque national
anthem, and then, to the relief Of the princes
subjects, the troops marched off toward the
| frontier. one hundred yards away. c.. l. B.
