GERMANY'S NOTE.
Great Britain Has Not Been Officially
Notified.

London, April 6.-The British gov
eminent has not received from Count
Wolff Metternich, the German am
bassador, or any other source a mem
orandum regarding Morocco similar to
that handed to Secretary Taft by
Baron Speck Won Sternburg, the Ger
man ambassador to the United States
yesterday. Germany's action in sing
ling out the United States for an Off
cial notification of her attitude to-
wards Morocco has created some feel
ing in official circles where no attempt
is made to conceal the leaning of Great
Britain towards France in the Mor0c-
can controversy.
The memorandum to the American
government is generally regarded in
London as a bid on the part of Ger
many for the United States sympathy
and support in maintaining the open
door and status quo. While there is
intense interest in the situation and
the Moroccan question is discussed in
all its phases in diplomatic circles, the
British government is not taking any
part in it, merely awaiting the next
move.
A well informed official OF the Brit
ish government informed the Associ-
ated Press today that France would
continue her policy in Morocco and it
Is firmly believed that the next step
on the part Of France is likely to de-
velOp a climax and bring the situation
TO a head.

Out in the West oysters are more Of

economical housekeeper conceived the
brilliant idea of making n set of
'half-shells" serve for a second meal.
She gave one dinner and had another
on for the next night. She had oysters
on the half shell at the first dinner,
and she just ordered the cook to save
the shells. She purchased oysters in
the bulk and gave orders for them to
be placed in the shells and served IS
the others had been the night before.
1t happened that little cousin Johnny
was at the seaside last summer and
was an oyster expert in a small way.
When the dishes were served he

and then said, in a loud, shrill voice:
