The French have acquired enormous
territory in Africa since 1884, when
they seized Algiers. From Algiers
they have spread east to Tunis and
Tripoi and south across the Sahara
desert around Morocco to the Atlantic
and as far south as the Congo free
State which the late King Leopold of
Belgium organized and which Is still
under the sovereignty and govern
ment of Belgium. About a decade ago
France seized the island of Madagas-
car on the east coast of African
empire in itself.
The tremendous activity of France
in Africa has only been eQualed by
England. and in fact the French seiz-
ure of Madagascar was winked at by
England and regarded as a fair ex-
change for the control of Egypt,
which England had wrested from the
French. All Germany was able to
get out of the African scramble was
certain value, which have cost her
dearly to maintain, on the east and
west coast, south of the equator.
Germans After
African Territory.
Germany wants more territory, but
she has been blocked In most of her
moves for territory by both France
and England. She got a bit of China,
but the alliance between England and
Japan has blocked her ambitions in
the far East; she got Samoa in the
Pacific, but the United States blocked
her further ambitions in that part of
the world. as 1t has in South Amer
lea. Germany has a railroad conces-
sion through Turkey to Bagdad and
the Red sea, but England has block
ed her in the matter of a Red sea
terminus and the Partisan bourse re-
fuses to list the Bagdad railway Sc
curtties. So Germany is sore and she
is looking everywhere for a pretext
to butt in and get some territory.
So Morocco has become once more the
scene Of Germany's impatience. She
has set up her flag of defiance in the
port of Agadir, which is the nearest
port of any real consequence to Gibral-
tar, where the English are in control.
AS all French vessels have to pass
through the straits Of Gibraltar going
in and out of the Mediterranean sea, the
attitude Of Germany is of more than
passing interest to France. All English
commerce to South Africa and Australia
and South America must pass by Aga
dir, and in point OF fact Agadir Is the
nearest port in the eastern hemisphere
to South America. That is one good
reason why England is excited over
Germany's attitude.
