Int|mation to Germany She VIII

FLEET IS ORDERED TO COAL
Patriotism Wipes Out Party Differ
I ences and United Support Is Ac-
corded the Government

-, London, July 2S.-The most pessi-
mistic views regarding the acuteness
of the Moroccan crisis were largely
confirmed by the prime minister in
the house of commons when, with
manner as impressive as his words,
he read from a manuscript which had
been carefully prepared, a warning to
Germany that Great Britain proposed
to stand for what she considered her
rights and to maintain the balance of
power in Europe.
Further testimony as to the gravity
OF the situation is given by the fact
that the prime minister obviously had
taken the leader of the opposition into
the governments confidence and Mr..
Balfour's declaration was no less firm
than Mr.. Asquith's.
The prime minister's statement was
couched in diplomatic, though not re.
assuring, language. At the very open
ing he said:
1T is obvious that this Moroccan
question has reached a point at which
it will become increasingly difficult,
embarrassing and anxious, unless a
solution is found.
eve thought it right from the be-
ginning to make clear that, failing of
a settlement such as I have indicated,
we must become an active party in
the discussion of the situation. It
might be our duty in defense of Brit
ish interests directly affected by
further developments"
IF there are any who supposed that
we would be wiped off the map of ELL
rope because we have our difficulties
at home it may be worth while saying
that they bitterly mistake the temper
of the British people and the patriot
ism of the opposition"
Such plain speaking on question
fraught with possibilities Of great
European war has not been heard in
the British parliament for years.

Greatest Actress Of the Age
Has No Special Method to
Keep Young, She Says.

Women should not engage in poll
tics. They possibly might be allowed
to vote, but as for holding office
never! We all know that woman at
times is irresponsible. her mental being
is changed. If she holds an important
position. the result can easily be
imagined. To vote is one thing; TO
hold office another I have just COM
pleted an article on votes for women

AS to the development of theatrical
art in the United States, she said:
