HOPES ARE SLIGHT
Talk of Concessions Does Not
Encourage British.
SZAR PLAYING MEDIATOR
Afraid War Slay Prevent Borrowing
Sadly-Needed 3foney Von Buc
low's Organ Predicts Con
ference Will Succeed.
LONDON. Feb. 27. The report from
Berlin that Germany has expressed her
willingness to make concessions on the
Moroccau question If France will yield
i something, and the announcement from
t St. Petersburg that Russia Is using her
influence at Berlin to prevent a rupture
between Germany and France at Alge
j clras, save Great Britain a ray of hope
that the conference might still succeed in
settling the questions of the police and
the SUte Bank f Morocco. These hopes,
' liowever, are not strong.
t "It must be remembered' said an ofll
' cial today, "that France made conces
sions before the conference met and has
continued to do so since. Now Germany,
which heretofore had refused to with-.
draw a single step, says she is prepared
to give way on some points If France
yields something. It is difficult to see,
what further France can concede. To
give an unfriendly power control of tho
State Bank would be prejudicial to the
Frenchmen who have been financing Mo
rocco for years, while any relaxation of
France's efforts to tranaulllze the Sul
tan's empire by handing over the police
, to the powers would cause endless trou
bles in her North African .colony.
"Even the suggestion that , she give Italy
1 a hand with herself and Spain In offtccr
' lng the police seems unreasonable.
" France should control the finances and
police of -Morocco."

Catholics la French Village Fight
Battle for Church.
LBPUT, France, Feb. 27. Serious dis
turbances occurred today during the tak
ing of the inventory of a village church
near Saugues, Department of Haute Lo
dre. An enormous crowd, armed with
sticks and stones, surrounded the gen
darmes, many of whom were beaten or
pelted with heavs stones.
The gendarmes,, in order to extricate
themselves, fired their revolvers, wound
ing 15 of the manlfcstants.-two ot whom
were mortally hurt. Tho officers in charge
of the gendarmes were both badly hurt
by the mob. The gendanaes retired with
difficulty.
Seeks to Reconcile France and Ger
many arid Conciliate Britain.
ST. PETERSBURG, Feb. 27. Russia is
using all her influence at Berlin to pre
vent a rupture between France and Ger
many. Her action has been taken at tho
Instance of Parts, where the Rouvler
irovernment is apparently convinced that
Germany proposes to persist in her atti
tude even to the point of provoking war.
On account of the close relations exist
ing between the courts of Berlin and St.
Petersburg, it is believed In France that
Russia will have more Influence upon
Emperor "William than any other power.
Earnest representations In favor of con
cessions to insure avoidance of an appeal
to arms were accordingly being made, to
which Germany replied that she had no
desire to provoke war. Nevertheless, she
gave no Indication that she proposed o
modify her attitude, and Russia's latest
advices from Algeclras indicate that prac
tically all hope of an agreement has been
abandoned.
Although Count Casslnl, head, of the
Russian mission, reports that the confer
ence will be fruitless, he expresses a de
cided opinion that hostilities will not re
sut. Russia is much concerned about the sit
uation, as war between France and Ger
many would greatly embarrass her. Not
only Is the Russian government so en
grossed with the interior situation as not
to be In a position to offer aid to her
ally, but war would end the possibility
of contracting another loan In Paris, of
which Russia is in urgent need.
Premier TVltte has now become a dis
tinct advocate of an Anglo-Russian un
derstanding, and it is stated that nego
tiations bave been or are about to be re
opened In London to determine the sta
tus of this agreement. If they are suc
cessful, a new grouping of the powers
will undoubtedly check Germany's grow
ing ambitions.
The main obstacle to an understanding
is the dispute regarding the respective
spheres of influence of Russia and Great
Britain in Persia, as the Russians are
loth to abandon their plans for reaching
the Persian Gulf.
DEPUTIES MAY HAVE TO FIGHT
French Government Considers Bill
to Provide for Emergency.
PARIS. Feb. 27. A discussion oc
curred during the debate on the war
budget In the Chamber of Deputies to
day,, relative to the devolution of legis
lative powers in time of war, which
nitnerto has not been clearly denned
The question was placed on the paper
seven or eight months ago, but was
postponed until a more opportune mo
ment, owing to the possibility of an
unwarranted significance then belnc
,attacnea to It while France's foreign
relations were strained.
Minister of "War Etienne today replied
to this question, which was proposed
by Deputy Rosanbo, stating that the
government was considering the in
troductlon of a measure to deal with
a situation which might be occasioned
by tho liability for service of many
Deputies and Senators, who also might
oe reservists. xneir enrollment, ac
cording to M. Rosanbo and other Denu
ties, would create an unconstitutional
situation, owing to the legislative
bodies being left incomplete.
VON BUELOW'S ORGAN HOPEFUL
Believes Conference Will Continue
Unless Politics Interfere.
BERLIN. Feb. 27. The Sued Deutsche
Rcichs Correspondenz at Carlsruhe,
which has the reputation of being the
purveyor of Chancellor yon Buelow's
views on politics, maintains a much
more nopeful attitude relative to the
Algeclras conference than the latest
attcrances of the French press.
The Correspondenz deprecates the
assertion that the conference is about
to disband because of a hopeless disa
agreement, and says its continuance is
assured for tho present, adding that
the "intrinsic reasonableness of
things.-" to use Gambctta's phrase,
speaks against a hasty breaking off of
deliberations, and it will not come to
that unless Influences gain the upper
hand which make of the Morocco ques
tion a-Hlaything of pollltlcal passions,

The era of cheap shoes is past forever. Stop! "We want to qualify that state

earth, hut the time that good shoes can be bought for a song is relegated to history.
Ii'cason? Leather has advanced strongly and is getting scarcer every yeai Low

by many manufacturers who are in the get-rich-quick cult, and there can never be

Labor commands better prices Good. The better the pay the better the man. But

WASHINGTON. Feb. 27. President
Roosevelt has addressed to the Secretary
of War, -who has promulgated the same
In a general order, a letter redtlnc the I
Togo during the late war between Japan
and Russia, and repeating, for the benefit
of American soldiers and sailors the ad
dress Issued by the Admiral upon the con
clusion of the war. The point of the
President's letter Is the necessity of keep
ing the personnel of the Army and Navy
at the highest pitch In time of peace In
order to be prepared for war.
The portion of the address of Admiral
Togo quoted by the President follows:
The war of SO month duration ! now a
thine of the p&t asd oar united squadron.
harinr completed Its function. U to be
forthwith dUptrtd. Hut our duties as
naval men are not at all lightened for that
reason. To preserve la perpetuity tae rruiu
of this war to. promote to ever areater
helfbt -of prosperity the fortunes of the ,
country, the navy, which. Irrerpectlve of
peace or war. has to stand between the em
pire and shocks from abroad, must always
maintain its stsencth at sea and must be
prepared to meet any emergency. This
strength does not consist wholly In ships
and armaments, it consists also In material
ability to utlllxe such agents. When we
understand that one gun which Kores 100
per cent of hits is a match for 100 of the
enemy's guns, each of which scores one per
cent. It becomes evident that we sailors
must have recourse before everything to the
strength which Is aver and above externals.
The triumphs recently won by our navy
are largely to be attributed to the habitual
training which enabled us to garner the
fruits of the fighting. If then we infer the
future from the past, we recognize that,
though we may cease, we cannot abandon
ourselves to ease and rest. A soldier's whole
life Is one continuous and unceasing battle,
and there is no Tcason why bis responsibili
ties should vary with the state of the times.
In days of crisis he has to display his
strength; in days' of peace to accumulate
it. thus perpetually discharging his duty
to the fulL If men caJlinjc themselves
sailors grasp at the pleasures of peace they
will learn the lesson that, however fine in
appearance their engines of war. those like
a houfce built on the sands will .fall at the
first approach of the storm.
When In ancient times we conquered Cores
that country remained over 400 years under
our control, only to be lost Immediately so
soon as our navy declined, Aicaln when un
der the sway of the Tokusrawa in modern
day our armaments were neglected, the
comln of a few American ships threw us
into dtstrrss. On the oth-r hand, the Brltloh
navy, which won the battles of the Nile and
of Trafalgar, not only made Kngland as se
cure a a great mountain, but aI.o by
thenceforth carefully maintaining its
trenxth and keeping It on a level with ef e
world's progre. ha afejcuarded that coun
try's Interests and promoted Its fortune.
For such lesson, whether ancient or mod
em. Occidental or Oriental, though to some
extent they are the outcome of political
happenings, must be, regarded as In the
main the natural result of -whether the. sol
dier remembers war In the day of peace. We
naval men who have survived the war must
plan future developments and ieek not to
fall beyond the progress o time. If. keep
ing the instructions 'of our sovereign ever
graven on our hearts, we. so earnestly and
diligentl potting forth our full strength,
