One of the most unpleasant sur
prises the jingoes of Germany have
had for years was the fact revealed
by the recent French naval review
at Toulon that thanks to the won
derful activity of M. Deloasse, the
French navy is ready for war nt a
moment's notice, and that even
without the hoped-for assistance of
England, France would be nble to
keep open all the important ports of
the country.
With the assurance of the Eng
lish Prime Minister, that France
could rely on England in case of a
German attack, the now famous
"coup d'Agadir1' appears to every
body here to have been the most
stupid attempt of bluff that German
diplomacy has ever tried. And
having exhausted their vocabulary
in abusing England, nearly all the
newspapers of the country are now
telling the government in plain
words that it never had the fainteat
chance of success.
The attitude of the German peo
ple is pacificatory. First of all the
socialists do not want war and,
thanks to the influence among the
young men of the country, the gov
ernment would have found serious
difficulty in mobilizing an army for
a war in which Germany was the
aggressor.
Secondly, Germany is notloved in
Europe and, in case of a war, she
would not dare withdraw her troops
from the Russian and Austrian
frontier, nor even from the German
Polish provinces. Even Belgium at
the informal request of France put
her formidable fortresses at Liege,
Namur and Ostende in a state of
active defense and made every pre
paration for the reception of a British
fleet in the event of an outbreak of
hostilities.
When it is remembered that the
Germans have lost by depreciation
in Btocks on the Berlin Bourse since
the "Panther" was sent to Agadir,
more money than the profits of Ger
man traders in Morocco in twenty
years, it is small wonder that the
government feels exceedingly un
comfortable and realizes that even
as an attempt to influence the com
ing elections, the Morocco venture
has been an absolute and crushing
failure.

Pretty
Wedding
Miss Anna Rose Goes to Massachusetts
To Live.
The wedding of Miss Anna Rose,
and Captain Ernest Anderson, which
took place at the Hotel Courtland,
last week was unprecedented for
beauty and elaborateness. The nup
tials were solemnized in a large low
window, in the reception room. This
recess, by means of rare palms,
maidenhair ferns and bride's roses,
had been converted into a flora
bower. The color scheme for the
wedding was white and green, the
interior of the hotel was decorated
m these colors, with the exception
of one room, where the bride's cake
was cut. The apartment was adorn'
ed with Beauty roses and was light
ed by candles, shaded with rose pink
shades. The Hotel Courtland would
make a beautiful setting for any en
tertainment, with its large rooms
and artistic furnishing. The deco
rations were in the artistic and com
petent hands of Mrs. Charles Chil
iingworth, wife of Senator Chilling
worth and Mrs. Lorenzen. wife of
Captain Lorenzen, who are both
warm personal friends of the bride
linue s roses and white asters were
used almost exclusively in the
adornment of the hotel, combined
with maile, that had been sent over
from Hawaii by a brother of the
bride. The Hawaiian maile, resem
bles somewhat the smilnx vine, but
is even more beautiful for decorative
purposes and is very fragrant. The
large archways between the recep
tion room, drawing room and din
ing room, were curtained with the
maile interspersed with bride's roses
and was looped with streamers of
white satin ribbon. The windows
were also draped with maile, pro
ducing a canopy effect that was very
effective, with touches of the white
roses, that relieved the monotony o:
the green. From the four corners
of the large reception room and ball
room the Hawaiian smilax was fes
tooned, the strands being gracefully
caught by bowknots of white tulle,
to the chandeliers. Promptly at
eight o'clock the bride and her at
tendants appeared, wending their
way down the central staircase, that
was banked with white asters and
maiden hair ferns. The balustrade
had been completely hidden by
these ferns. Mrs. Caroline Robin
son and Mrs. Edward Tenney put
their conservatories which are
among the most beautiful in town
at the disposal of the decorators and
the result was wonderful. The rare
palms and hundreds of potted maid
en hair, so cleverly utilized, result
ed in such a wonderful effect, that
the spectacle was more of a wood
land scene, and the environment
was such that can only be witnessed
in the tropics, where the tropical
verdure is so luxuriant. The bride
looked stately and beautiful in her
wedding gown of white Baby Irish
crochet, over brocaded satin. The
conventional wedding veil was worn
of white illusion, caught with sprays
of natural orange blossoms. The on
ly jewels worn was a largo diamond
sunburst, that was a gift of the
groom.
