Able DISCUSSION OF
THE MOROCCAN AFFAIR

large loan with Morocco. Privileges
of such importance were granted to
this group of banks that the eventual
fate of the Sultan's Empire seemed
to be decided. Germany, however,
interviewed; the Emperor visited Tan
gier; and a few months later the
Conference of Algeciras was held In
fair words it proclaimed the indie
pendence OF Morocco and the SOW
ereignty of the Sultan. 1t also Great
ed a multitude of provisions and stip-
ulated the open door" in Morocco.
At the same time, however police
powers were granted to France and
Spain in eight open Moroccan ports,
and, furthermore, the treaty concern
ing the above mentioned loan was
ratified with certain amendments.
Above all, owing to the long Algeria
Moroccan border line, the conference
could not prevent French influences
in Morocco from continuing and even
increasing. On account of the wholly
unsettled and untenable conditions in
Morroco-which it is no use denying
opportunities for the exertion of
French influence could not long be
wanting. In fact, the occupation of
Ujda and the bombardment as we'll as
the occupation of Casablancs soon fol-
lowed. All this could have been pre-
vented only if Germany had been in
clined to restore order in Morocco,
and first to go to war, as would have
been inevitable, with the Powers hos
tile to such an act on her part. The
course of events will always prove
to be more powerful than the most
perfectly worded treaty provisions,
and the Algeciras Act could not ex-
pect to alter the fact that Morocco
and her inhabitants no longer in
themselves possessed the strength to
reorganize their country. Some en-
thusiasts believed that Muley Hafid
would be able to perform this task,
but they soon had to recognize that,
Notwithstanding his skill and ability
as statesman, he did not have the
power to bring about the necessary
changes without foreign assistance.
For the German Government there
was therefore only one way open to

protect German commercial interests
in Morocco, viz, by securing frances
protection of these interests. This
result was achieved by the Morocco
agreement of February 8, 1909, which
expressly mentioned the Algeciras
Act as it's basis. Clearly the object
of this agreement could only be to
delay French advancement in Moroc-
co as long as possible; so that Ger
man traders, farmers, and manufac-
turers were in the meantime, under
this same French protection, guaran-
ted by treaty, able to consolidate
their interests in Morocco in such a
degree that a French protectorate
could not destroy them. No one who
knew the conditions in Morocco as
they really were, and not as one per-
haps wished them to be, could enter
tain the slightest doubt that French
protectorate must in the course of
time be established.
This would have been considered
the natural course of events had the
aspect of affairs not suddenly chang
ed when M. Pichon retired from the
French Foreign office and was re-
placed by M. Cruppi. 1t seems that
colonial fanatics who could not await
the ripening of the Moroccan fruit
took advantage of this change to OBJ
tain the consent of the War Minister
of Foreign Affairs for the expedition
to Fee. The pretended danger of the
military mission and of the European
colony in consequence of the rebel
lion of tribes in the neighborhood of
Fee formed welcome pretext The
capital was reached and military
posts were to be withdrawn to the
coast as soon as possible, it was evil
dent that the larger part of the coun-
try would, like the Schanja province,

soon be directly controlled by French
agents and military authorities.
AS already stated, the attitude of
Germany was soon understood in
Paris. The error of the expedition to
Fee ahinv been made, there was moth
ing left but to bear the consequences
and pay dearly for what otherwise in
the course of time might have been
obtained without any sacrifice what
ever.
There could not doubt what price
Germany would ask.
On the one hand, increased and
precise guarantees for the mainten-
ance of the open door in Morocco,
which would enable Germans to set
tie and do business in Morocco in
spite of French protectorate
On the other hand, a compensa-
ton in the form of colonial territory,
which had already often enough been
mentioned during the earlier phases
of the Morocco affair
Although, of course, opinions may
differ about the value of the territory
ceded to Germany, it is evident that
German commerce and industry, Ger
man miners and farmers, have OBJ
tanned valuable guarantees for their
interests in Morocco. The agreement
furnishes a powerful instrument in
the hands of the German government,
enabling it permanently to protect
German interests in spite of all con.
trary efforts. A careful reading of
the text of the agreement will be con.
vincing in this respect.

CHICKEN SPECIES
HAVE IMPROVED

Less than hundred years ago there
was no poultry in America except util-
ity poultry. From forty to sixty eggs
year was considered a wonderful
yield. Carcasses weighed from two
and one-haf to three pounds, and
most Of that was bone and offal. Now
there are more than hundred va
rieties, all better egg-producers and
better market poultry than we're
known prior to the compilation Of the
standard. The standard descriptions
have guided fanciers to the creation
Of the greatest egg-producers and the
best market poultry, and there is not
on record today, nor is there likely
to be, an egg-laying record made by
any fowl that is not standard bred.
Unless extraordinary effort is made,
market poultry superior to some of
the standard bred meat-producing or
general purpose fowls will not be pro-
duced.-Philadelphia Inquirer.

MURDER TRIAL FOR LITER"

DENVER, Colo, Feb. 17.-Interest
in sensational tragedy which stirred
Denver last summer will be revived
Monday, when Frank Henwood will
be placed on trial for the murder of
Sylvester ("Tony") Won Phul. Hen
wood, well known man-about- town,
shot and killed Won Phul, an amateur
balloonist and wine salesman. in the
barIoom of the Brown Palace hotel on
May "a last. According to the testi
mony at the trial i'll feeling existed
between the two for some time as a
result Of quarrel over a woman with
whom both were said to be infatuated.
The woman in the case was Mrs. John
M. Springer, wife of Denver banker,
who secured a divorce from Mrs.
Springer soon after the murder of
Won Phul. In his attack on Won Phul
Henwood shot G. E. Copeland, min
ing man of Victor, Colo, who died
from his wounds several days later.
Henwood was tried and convicted Of
the killing of Copeland and is now
under sentence of life imprisonment.

A United States postage stamp,

than century and quarter, There is
no evidence in the possession Of the
postoffice department Of such me-
mento of so important an occasion
having been stricken off by this gov
ernment three hundred years before
it's establishment. Despite the de-
scription of the stamp given by the
possessor, there is strong impression
among postal officials that it is Of
much later date. Something OF the

MILLION MEN
ON STRIKE
GREAT BRITAIN MINERS GIVE
NOTICE OF NATIONWIDE
STRIKE ON MARCH

Western Press
LONDON, Feb. 17.-Various miners
unions throughout Great Britain have
been sending out formal notices today
to the coal mine owners notifying
them that the men will not work on
March /.
Tomorrow night practically eight
hundred and fifty thousand men ard
boys, employed under the ground, will
have notified the employers OF their
intention to strike. In addition to the
underground employees there are two
hundred thousand surface workers,
making a total of more than a million
men who will quit work twelve days
hence.
1t is now admitted on all sides that
little hope remains of averting what
promises to be the most serious labor
disturbance in British history.
The men insist on only one demand
and that is a certain minimum wage
to be established, varying with the
different localities. Judged by Amer
lean standards, the minimum which
they demand is not high. For in
stance the highest amount demanded
anywhere is $128. This is in Derby
shire, Motifs and South Wales. From
this the mems demands run down to
a minimum of s1.20, which is the
amount asked for in Bristol and Som
erect.

FIND
A TRUST"
HARDwICK COMMITTEE FINDS
THAT SUGAR OCTOPUS
REALLY EXISTS

Western Press
WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-THE
Hardwick sugar trust" investigating
committee after many weeks of open
hearings, here and in New York, of
almost continuous work since last
May, reported to the house today that
a sugar trust exists. The report,
which is signed by all the members Of
the committee, Republican as well as
Democratic, makes no recommended
ton as to how the alleged trust and
those responsible for it shall be dealt
with, suggesting that the price sit
uation be handled by the standing
committee of the house. AS to the
effect of the combine on the cost of
sugar to the consumer the committee
expresses the belief that the monopoly
forces the price up but makes no at
tempt to fix accurately the extent to
which reasonable prices, under COM
petitive conditions, are exceeded.
The report condemns the original
sugar trust but designated the eigh-
teen thousand present owners of the
stock of the American Sugar Refining
company as innocent purchasers" of
profitable stock which was unloaded
on them by the few men who organ
lied the sugar trust.

ocean," and that apalache is a conf
pound of this word with the Musco-
gee personal participle "chi," and
means "those by the sea-"
Blue Ridge-So called from the hue
which frequently envelops its distant
