What Does Germany WantP
The question naturally arises, What
does Germany want in Morocco? And
the most correct answer is probably
expressed in the one word Something"
The German chancellor of empire is
disciple of Bismarck in so far that his
foreign policy has been true to the
doctrine of compensations. His firm
belief is that Germany. because Of her
size. strength and Importance among
the nations, is justified in demanding
share in the evolution OF the world
as n whole and in claiming compen-
sating advantages for any territorial
or political ACKNOWLEDGMENT on the part
of another great power. mat IS the
latest phase of the German ''weltpoli-
tik' This doctrine was undoubtedly
known to the French department OF
foreign affairs and may have stimu-
lated the feeling which has recently
found a place in the minds OF certain
French statesmen--a feeling that 1t

But Germany has not satisfied hersell
with merely rejecting the bats held out

would be inclined to consider as an ahe-
uuate price for her good will. And that
is a harbor on the west coast OF MOROCCO

Antidote to Socialism.

History and experience have. however.
taught German statesmen that the most
effective antidote to socialism is a ma
tional' rally cry. especially II Il is based
on the traditional hostility OF France.
Germany was for SO many centuries the
chief battlefield Of Europe that the dread
Of the invader became part Of the In
te,lectuai constitution Of the people. and
even its consciousness Of its present
strength has done little to eliminate this
feeling. Consequently nothing so quickly
makes the nation forget its domestic dis
sensions and its grievances against the
government as the sense of international
Insecurity. For this reason a little dip

Assert They Are Not Responsible
For High Prices of Meat to
Consumers.

San Antonio, Texas, Oct. 12.--The
beef packers deny they are RESPONSE
sible for the present h,Gh prices Of
meats to the consumer Ed G.. La
safer, president Of the Cattle Raisers'
Association OF Texas, has received a
letter from Swift & Co. Of Chicago
relative to the cost and handling OF
shipment OF steers bought from
him last spring, submitting a state
ment showing a net profit to the
pecker of ST. PC for each steer Swift
& Co. deny the lower prices OF beef
on the hoof was due to an arbitrary
action on their part in buying and
add: Cattle that come te market
for slaughter have to be purchased
and slaughtered and afterward the
meat shipped and disposed Of at
once If there should be an over
supply of meat caused by the In
creased receipts, unfavorable weather
or decrease in purchasing power on
the part OF the consumer, the price
of the meat must he reduced SO that
the meat will be consumed before it
spoils. Such lower selling prices
would be at once back on the live
stock market"
Replying to this letter, President
Tasatar said 81 cOOppdp tho protif 9
shown by you of 81 26 per head APP
pears to be reasonable and an
earned profit. The statement shows
that the cost OF meat to you at Fort
Worth was s693 per hundred
pounds. That you sold to retailer
at an average of S6.5S3 per hundred
pounds. There is a wide difference
between what your statements show
you sold for and what the consumers
of thecountry paid Had 1t been
found necessary to reduce the price
to the consumer in order to move
the supply of beef produced from the
praia crop of 1910 then, in that
event, the producers of beef would
have no fight coming. But the facts
are the producer took practically
one-third less for his cattle than the
market Of the previous year and the
consumer never paid more for his
meat"
