In commercial quarters and In those
circles usually well informed on political
affairs, the recent visit of the German en-
peror to Morocco is not regarded as in any
sense meant hostile demonstration
against any foreign power. Here the belief
Is that the intentions of Germany as effect
ing Morocco, are purely to protect her large
and growing commercial interests. In other
words, it is felt that Germany merely
stands for the policy of the open door and
for the protection of her increasing trade
The whole question, which has been
opened up by the emperor's visit. however,
is much broader than one of imports. The
future development of Morocco promises
to be great. 1t is fertile land. and, as
countries, it is we'll populated. Its mineral
resources are as yet unexpected. but they
are believed to be great. 1t thus will be
seen that the matter of railway conces-
sions and mining concessions will in future
become one Of paramount Importance.
A French protectorate, either in fact or
one tacitly existing, would mean that the
bulk of such concessions would go to
French capital, because the existing agree
ment makes this easily possible. 1t Is point
ed out that the German emperor foresees
this possible development, and that his Mo-
roccdn policy Is merely designed to place
Germany at least an equality with
France in the future development of the
country.
There Is no disposition, either In official
or commercial circles, to believe that the
German emperor in any way wishes to
provoke hostilities. Under existing con-
ditions it would be easy to absolutely close
the door against all but French capital for
mining and railway concessions, and this is
the condition, as Morocco sees It, that EN-
peror William wishes to overcome.

Contractor Fleets With Delay.

John Ed Foley, who has charge of
putting down the oreo-resinated blocks
on the river bridge was disappointed
OF securing the use of Mr.. Rogers
steam roller yesterday afternoon and
as result the work of finishing the
floor was delayed just to that extent.
The putting down of the pavement
was completed early yesterday fore
noon. There was some ceremony at
tending the laying of the last block,
which was placed in position by Mrs.
Jesse Wyant, whose little daughter,
Eleanor, laid the first block when the
work was begun. The Lext thing in
order was the rolling of the paved
driveway just as is required when a
street is paved. The rolling, Mr.. Foley
had intended to have done early yes
terday afternoon, which would have
enabled him to have completed the
work of grouting the blocks and to
haye gotten off the bridge today. 1t
occurred, however, that when he appli-
ed for the roller it was in use out
on the State highway and could not be
had when wanted. Under the cir
cumstances it may be Friday or posi-.
bly, Saturday before the pavement is
finished.
