THE Big OUTBREAK IN
MOROCCO
Continued From Page one.

Germany back in 1905, when her action
prevented France from taking over a
large part of the territory and pacify-
ing it. The outcome Of the conference
Of Algericas, which defined the places
of France and Spain in Morocco, has
not proved wholly satisfactory, there
having been various collisions of au-
thority, and jealousy on the part of
both. Spain fears, at this time French
intervention, which is the cause Of the
threatened breach, and to counterfeit
the strength of France, might be will
ing, as intimated in the dispatch
printed above, to accept the backing
Of Germany. II is this prospect which
is likely to cause serious situation In
Europe.
PROFESSIONALLY, only Intervention
can settle finally the Morocco trouble.
II was the attacks on foreign subjects
that first led to French Intervention
and ii is the recurrence or menace Of
such attacks that has compelled
France to continue her occupation of
Casablanca and the surrounding coun-
try on the western coast, and OF Ujda
and other posts on the Algerian
frontier.
But even the severe punishment in
flicted on the offending natives in the
past gives no security against fresh
outbreaks. In a country like Morocco,
where the people are broken up into
separate and often mutually hostile
tribes, 1t is almost impossible to carry
out any permanent measure of ps.cifi-
cation without a complete occupation
OF the country. Troops may enforce
perfect submission and peace in one
district, but outside it's borden are
other tribes, warlike and we'll armed,
hating the foreigner and all his works,
and ready at the first favorable OPP
portunity to raid the pacifed region.
For some time past the Shawia district
had been quite tranquil. The French
have established fixed posts there.
have built roads and bridges, opened
markets and wells, encouraged trade,
and founded schools and hospitals.
But last January this civilizing work
was interrupted by an attack Of hostile
tribesmen on a body of French troops,
and such an outrage, is passed over.
would be fatal to the peace of the
region. 1t would foster the belief that
the French were too weak to under
take reprisals and would encourage
the hostile tribes to fresh acts OF ag-
gression Accordingly pressure was
brought on the government 20 under
take the punishment of the guilty
tribe. On the other hand, objections
were raised to any such action on the
ground that it might involve France
in a forward policy in Morocco It
was argued that the task of teaching
the offenders lesson shon.d be left
to the sultan. But as already pointed
out, the sultan is powerless. Tins
there can be no order in Morocco until
the Jealous powers OF Europe can al
low some one nation free hand to
pacify the country.

BISMARCK DOES
NOT Want HOFFMAN
DOPE FIEND WHO CLAIMED HIS
MOTHER AND SISTER LIVED AT
N. D. CAPITAL ADMITS THAT
THIS STORY WAS A FAKE-MAY
BE SENT TO WINNIPEG.

The Bismarck Tribune has the fol-
lowing about the man Hoffman, who
was in such pitiable condition In the
Fargo Jail, as a result of his addiction
to the dope habit, and who was sent
on toward Bismarck by the Fargo po-
lice:
Sunday evening Albert Hoffman was
was brought to the capital city on No.
s, by Sheriff Filbin Of Steele. The
man was turned over to the police
authorities and spent the night in the
county jail.
Hoffman is one OF the most miser-
able specimens of humanity that has
been seen for "a long time. He fell
from q high scaffolding about year
and a half ago and fractured his
skull. He was operated on in Buffalo,
N. Y, and a part of the skull removed,
and the wound was never wholly
healed. In addition to this he IS sub
tect to epileptic fits which occur four
or five times every week. He states
that at times the pain in his head was
so great after he had been operated
on that he had been given morphine
by the physicians at Buffalo to allow
him a chance to rest and sleep ana
that in that manner he acquired the
dope habit He was in the eastern hos
pital fourteen months.
Hoffman has been carrying a letter
with him stating that he had mother
and sister residing in Bismarck and
the police all along the line have been
assisting him to reach the capital city.
He was arrested at Fargo, where ne
was given a ticket to Jamestown. AT
Jamestown he was given a ticket TO
Steele. He reached Steele Sunday
afternoon and had scarcely left the
train when he was seized with two
epileptic fits. The doctors there, after
seeing his condition gave him morphine
and bought him a ticket to Bismarck
whore he said his mother lived.
However. 1t Is thought that MS
mother does not live here. He claim
ed that her address was LOT MoHat
street and there Is no street by that
name in the city. He admitted 10 the
local police last evening that a man
had told him to say that his people
lived here to get along better. He told
the local authorities that his motner
and sister lived at Winnipeg, and ne
NAV he started in that direction.
He is a complete wreck, mentally
and physically and has no hope or
fine future OF any ambition to know
what ii contains. His right arm IS
,,salass from the result Of paralyis
ana too frequent injections OF NOR
phine, and his left arm is one mass
of punct,,res where he has inserted
the hypodermic needle. In ADDITION
his head ID in bad shape from the
operation on his skull and this is one
OF the most pitiful cases the local
authorities have ever been called on
to deal with.
