In the first place, it is insisted in
inspired quarters that the acquisi-
ton of territory in Morocco has
never been, in the present negotia-
lions as in the earlier diplomatic
struggles, an aim of Germany. Sec

Iitical influence in Morocco was fully
recognized by the Franco-German
agreement of Feb. 9, 1909, and that
the establishment of the French pro

the third place, receives the thor
ough-going guarantees of CONNER

German Government Attacked

Especial Correspondence of The Argus.)
Berlin-With the settlement Of
the Franco-German negotiations con-
corning Morocco and the removal, SO
far as France and Germany are con-
cerned of this potential menace of
war, a violent campaign has been
opened by wide sections Of the press

eminent for having, as IL is charged,
upset the credit of the country and
brought Europe to the verge of hos
tilities only to score a full fiasco and
reap the pettiest Of profits for the

Of Morocco by private bargain with
out consulting Germany was that
France could obtain no rights in Mo
rocco without the consent of Ger
many and the other powers.
Strict and, it is now admitted,
mistaken adherence to this policy
led to the rejection of. a profitable
Moroccan bargain offered by Rouvier
after the fall of Delcasse and to AL
geciras. Here Germany theoretically
established its principle, only to
find itself standing alone as its sole
defender, England, Italy, Russia and
Spain being pledged in various de-
grees not to oppose France and
France continually finding new and
always well justified reasons for
pushing on its gradual absorption of
Morocco Not being willing TO risk
a war every few months to check the
various steps of this absorption, Ger
many threw overheard its first prin-
ciple and admitted Frances political
interests IN Morocco, receiving in ex-
change paper guarantee of the open
door and commercial equality.
Germany, according to the official
to supplement this paper guarantee
by adequate and detailed material
safeguards and an agreement for
Franco German cooperation in GER
tain African undertakings which
were contemplated, it is asserted.
under the agreement of 1909. Ne
gotiations to this end were well IN
der way but with the fall of the
Briand-Pichon ministry, it is
claimed, negotiations were dropped,
Germany found itself baked in the
efforts to renew them and found the
new French cabinet embarked in
stead on the expedition to Fee and
the immediate military occupation of
the Moroccan empire, an adventure
which Germany warned France open
ly in advance violated the act of AL
geciras and restored to Germany its
full liberty of action
This brings the recital to the dis
patch of the German gunboat Pan
Their to Agadir-an act which, it has
been steadily maintained in official
quarters, was. in nowise designed to
stake out claim" in South Moroc-
co-but, it is now admitted frankly,
was intended primarily not for the
protection of emperilled Germans in
the neighborhood, but to produce a
resumption of the interrupted con |
versations." In this it was prompt |
Iy and Electrically successful.
The result. the foreign Office
claims far from being a defeat or
fasco. has carried to a logical con-
clusion the Franco-German agree
ment of 1909, giving France the free
political hand therein contemplated
and to Germany and incidentally to
the world at large adequate protec-
tion for freedom of trade whether
the country remains = French pro-
tectorate Or is ultimately absorbed in
the French colonial empire. That
Germany has obtained large in
crease Of colonial territory and in
addition has sidetracked one Of the
most pressing dangers to the peace
Of the world is. it is claimed at the
foreign Office, so much clear gain for
itself and the world.

Of a well known dress making firm
of the Faubourg st. Honore
The new costume comes from Tur-
key and is an almost exact repro

loose divided skirt, fitting tightly at
each ankle NJ, Paul Poiret said today
that early in the year he really in
tends to attempt to popularize this
garment as a conventional costume
FOR women.
This is long cherished ambition
Of mine, he said. THE hobble skirt
has had its day, and my clients are
firing of the ungainly gait which it
makes obligatory. The Turkish Ia
lies costumes has long appealed to
me as being most sensible, hygenic
and graceful Moreover,it complies
perfectly with the present day craze
for skirts which are tight at the an
kles, only instead of having her move
ments impeded by single skirt, wo-
man is to have a skirt to each ankle.

DRESS RULES FOR
ALL SIZES WOMEN
Artists Advice to Fat, Lean
Tall and Short.

Cambridge Mass, Jan. 20.-The mil
lenHium has come for women of high
and low degree. fat, thin. tall short
and middlings, as far as personal APP
.pearance is concerned, if the rules
laid down by Henry Turner Bailey,
the Boston artist, are followed. Per-
lection Of beauty depends on dress
tones. Mr.. Bailey says:
In regard to the color of the cos
tune, that should be determined By
the complexion of the wearer. The
larger and plumper a woman the
more quietly she should dress. In ma
ture it is the butterfly who is bril-
liant, not the elephant. One very
great danger is in OVERRIDING dress.
This fault is most evident among the
newly rich. The costumes of self
respecting shop girl are better, as a
rule, than the costumes of the newly
rich woman.
If one is tall she should wear
gowns made on horizontal lines and
never have dresses too long or toe
short If short, the costumes should
be made on vertical lines. Never
have your dresses short, regardless
of style.
IF one is stout dress plainly in a
one color scheme. If one is thin,
mixed goods is permissible.
The use of animals and birds for
trimmings should be banished from
millinery
The eyes should never be attract
ed to the feet. Women possessing
large feet should never wear tan
Shoes"

MILLIONS OF CIGARS TO
Be MADE IN AMERICAS.
Local Factory Is Doing An
Enormous Business.

Two million cigars made in Amer
icus" within the twelfthmonth seems a
prodigious undertaking, but such is
the work mapped out by Cliff C. Clay
in the manufacture of his popular CT
gar, the Muckalee, which already
stands the peer of any cigar sold IN
this or any other market
"Muckalee" cigars are made only
IN Americas, but are smoked every
where. Smokers know them and pre-
fer them to cigars that sell even at Il
higher price.
And two million 'Muckalees" will
be made here this year.
Last year the manufacture and sale
Of Muckalees went far above the mil
lion mark and with the incentive Of
increased demand for this favorite
brand, backed by increased facilitie
for their manufacture, Mr, Clay, the
man of the Muckalee, is going to dou-
bic the output, and is already at work
to that end.
Very soon now there will be thirty
Or forty skilled artists employed i
the cigar factory here, and under the
direction of Supt. Upchurch it will be
4 hive of industry indeed
If Mr.. Clay's estimate is verified, it
means the manufacture of $3.50 cigars
or every working day in the year. This
is a lot of cigars to be sure, but when
he demand for Muckalees is consid-
cred, with orders coming in from a
half dozen states, the situation is ap-
)reciated.
From modest beginning two years
ago the Muckalee cigar has leaped kn-
to popular favor and maintained ku-
premacy over all others. At every
cigar stand and in every grocery aid
drugstore in Amerieus, the "Mucka-
zee" is in evidence and has the c2ll
over other brands.
The Americas factory, too, is one of
lie important enterprises of the tom
rs with its large weekly payroll i4is
worth as much, or more, than wo ID
be a $500 cotton mill.
