| BERLIN May 6.-German conservatives
are always suspecting somebody. At home
| they suspect every liberal minded politi
clan. to say nothing about the socialists.
of course. of conspirtng against the vel
| fare Of the empire, and abroad they are
equally determined In suspectng all other
nations of trying to gain political and
| territorial advantages at the expense OF
| Germany. Their eyes have for some time
| been turned toward Mexico. which they
suspect that the United States is trying
| to annex when a suitable opportunity
shall arise but, as they have had to adj
NIT themselves that they would be unable
| to interfere even should their suspicious
| come true. they have turned their atten-
ton to Morocco. which they accuse
| France of having thrown into a state of
revolution for selfish purposes
Only few days ago the Leading news
paper of this antiquated and reactionary
party, Die kreuz Zeitung. in an edito-
rial headed The Beginning of French
Intervention, made the bold assertion
that the situation at Fee was really by
no means critical as French and Span
ish newspapers state, and that there was
good reason to believe that the revolt
among the tribes was maintained arti-
ficialy by French agents. just as the
Mexican rebels were thought to be en-
couraged and supplied with arms by the
Americans.
First Step in Intervention.
The paper stated that Frances dec-
sion to send four battalions Of colonial
troops into the ShaWia district was only
the first step toward an Intervention. for
which that country possessed no valid
mandate either by virtue of the act of
AlSeciraS any other agreement.
To support it's accusations 1T published
a letter from an anonymous German resi-
dent at Tangier In which Ii was stated
that France can at any moment stir up
an tnsurrection among the tribes with
the help of her agents. This correspond
ent declared that q universal conviction
| prevails among the Germans at Tangter
that the Moroccan question will shortly
| be definitely decided. The sultan rules
| Morocco. he says, and France rules the
| sultan The latter Is an excellent instru
| ment in the hands OF the French, and
| whether he will suppress the rising or
| not depends entirely on the decision OF
| the French. The Germans. the CORE
spondent adds, were delighted to learn
| that their foreign secretary. Herr Won
Observation-Disclosures, had informed the
budget committee of the reichstag that
the act of Algeciras was in existence to
| any one power But what Is the differ
ence, he asks. between the annexation of
Morocco by France and indirect French
dominion through the medium Of a sui
tan Invested Of all real power?
Comment by Newspaper.
The Kreuz zeitung comments on this
communication as follows:
The letter of our occasional CORE
spondent confirms the views on the sub
ject Of the new course pursued by French
policy in Morocco. which we have fire.
quently expressed of late. While adher-
ing strictly to the wording OF the act of
Algeciras, France is at work taking pos
session not. IT Is true, de jure, but de
facto, of Morocco"
The Post asserts that France is daily
violating the act Of Algeciras, and asks
how much longer it Will take the sigma
tory powers to arrive at the conclusion
that things cannot go on in this way.
All these suspicious Of other nations
are really an attempt on the part Of the
conservative press to throw dust into the
eyes of the people at home and avert
their attention from the fact that con-
sentative misrule has brought Germany
| face to face with a boodIess revolution,
| which will make its first appearance in
| an immense defeat for the government
| at the polls In the coming elections. I'M
| less something happens abroad to con-
vince the voters that a change Of govern
| ment at the present time will be a ca
| lamity to the country.
Predicts Socialist Victories.
The liberal press, on the other side
loses no opportunity in pointing out that
the future will bring unexpected victories
to the socialist party.

The coming elections will show how
