BAD FOR PEACE.
Germany's Reply to France on

Matter Turned Over to Commit

Another international Confer

Paris, Sept. 1.-THE nature of Ger
many's reply to the proposals submit
ted by France with the idea of reach
ing an agreement regarding the Mo
roccan problem has affected French
government circles unpleasantly. Ger
.nany's counter proposals were receiv-
ed in Paris Saturday night and after
being submitted to lengthy examination
on the part Of Premier Caillaux and
Foreign Minister De Selves it was de-
cided to refer tie proposals to speci-
alists on Moroccan questions. When
the specialists have formed an opinion,
the premier will call g. meeting OF the
cabinet and lay before it the whole
matter for decision. Germany asks, it
appears, that every claim of German
subjects to concessions in Morocco
shall be recognized by France, and that
no new enterprise shall be started un-
der the French protectorate without
being internationaliZed equally
The claims of German subjects, par
ticularly those of Mannesmann broth
ers and speculative companies organ
lied by them are enormous.
The German terms also ask for
free hand in Morocco with cond1torS S
that would according to the French
view, deprive France Of all her advan-
tages and would give Germany priv1-
leSes in Morocco beyond those of any
mower, even France. There seems no
accerting the German counter pr9p"-
sails.

may be that some other signatory or

Berlin. Sept. 11.-At the annual con-

session here resolutions were unanl-

Withdrawal of Germany from her po-
IiricaI nosi+ion in Morocco and aagirst
her acceptance of territorial indemnity
in the French Congo. The German
imperial chancellor was asked to break
off negotiations with France relative
to Moroeco rather than settle the dis
pute on that basis.
The speech Of the chairman of the
congress was to the effect that the ac-

the German people. Another resolution
adopted demanded the speedier building

BUY HER A NEW DRESS.
BY EDWIN A. NYE.

BUY HER A NEW DRESS.
1t has been long time since mother
had a new dress. She Is content to
have her old ones made over'' again
and again.
Why?
Because the girls must have new
hats q nd gowns. and the boys always
need new shirts and shoes. and SO
many repairs must be made about the
house. and father must go decent to
business, and
There are reasons a-plenty.
But why should mother come In last
of all? Just because she is mother?
That's it. Certainly it is not because
mother has got to the place where she
cares no more for pretty things. 1t is
simply because mothers greatest pleas
ure is to do for others.
And the others forget They let
mother slave and sacrifice and wear
old clothes because she is willing.
But think. girls and boys. what self
ishness you display. The fact is you
have grown SO used 10 mothers unself-
ish ways that you take ali she does
for you as matter Of course Should
she neglect youf welfare in son.s slight
particular you would deem it gress
forgetfulness of her duty. And such
lapse would be stranga-in mother.
sut where does that put you, who
selishly enjoy her loving service and
constant vigil? If she ministers to
selfish children who practically ignore
her service, where does that put you?
And it may be more than lack Of ap-
probation in your case. 1t may be
that sort of good natured tolerance
which says. ''Oh. well. you mean well.
mother, but really. now. you are old
fashioned and fogyish"
Don't you know that hurts?
Or you may be actually ashamed in
company of the plain mother who has
deprived herself foN you-the more
shame to her child. Resides the IN
speakable cruelty of it. such conduct
is the meanest snobbery any mortal
can be guilty Of
Children of your mother. let me sug-
gest: Each of you save up enough
money. father included. and buy
mother a new dress.
Watch the flush in her cheek. the 10Y
in her eyes shining through the
tears. And of course she will say.
why. you shouldn't have spent that
money on me-" But TO her dying day.
ottentimes when weary aud worn and
sad. she will remember that dress and
smile and cry.
