CONFERENCE.

Paris, July 29.-France's relations
with Germany are again showing signs
OF strain owing to the inability OF Pre-
mier Rouvier and Ambassador Won
Radolin to conclude a definite pro-
gramme for the Moroccan conference.
The agreement of July 8 contemplated
joint programme, but the arrange
ment OF this programme is causing re-
newed difficulty, particularly in con-
nection with Frances right to police
the territory adjoining Algeria and su-
pervise the maintenance Of order
throughout the empire. It is the
French view that their rights follow
from the agreement OF July 8. whereas
Germany does not wish to define the
extent Of French police and financial
reforms. The indecisive status of the
negotiations has caused renewed ap-
prehension on the bourse and the
newspapers have renewed their sharp
criticisms of Germany's course.
