The Mist Clearing From
Franco German Situation.
Germany Holds No Hostile Feel
ings Towards France.
Great Britain Consents to Participate In
Morocco Conference.

Paris, June 1S.-The improvement
in the F'ranco-German situation took
a more definite turn. today. as the
semi official version Of yesterdays cno-
ference between Premier Rouvier and
Prince Won Radolin, the German am
baSSadOr, became known. This Ner-
sion shows that the ambassador asked
France to accept in principle the plan
of an international conference, leaving
the details to be adjusted later. Pre-
.nier ROuvier answered that he desired
at first to be advised upon Germanys
object in securing the conference and
the questions it would be called upon
to consider
As the result of instructions from
Berlin, Prince Won Radolin was able
give definite information regarding tho
German governments ideas upon the
scope and limitations of the confer
enCe. More particularly was he able
to relieve the conference plan from
any appearance of being menace to
France or of being a preliminary step
to override French prestige in Moroc-
co.
with these eXplanatloIlS, pour Par
lours will continue with a good pros
pect of resulting in a definite agree
nent.
Premier Rouviar also conferred at
considerable length with Paul Cam
bon, the French ambassador to Great
Britain, following the latter's CONVEX
sations with Lord LansdOwne, the
British foreign minister. These con-
versations showed that the British dec
llnation to participate in the conference
had been entirely free from the bellig-
erent tone ascribed to it. However,
Great Britain is resolved to adhere to
Article of the declaration of April s,
which says: "The two governments
agree to lend each other diplomatic
support for the execution of the clauses
of this declaration"
Therefore, if the conference takes
place Great Britain will partake there
i'm with the proviso that the scope of
the conference must first be clearly de-
fined.

Heirs Of Former Owners
Claim Government Land
At Halifax, Known as Citadel

Claimants SAY Land Was Leased and Lease

Halifax, N. S., June 1S-According
to Halifax firm Of attorneys who are
investigating the subject. the owner

erty included in the immense area on
Citadel Hill and vicinity, held by the
British military authorities. is in doubt.
Those who claim to be heirs of

fore its occupation by the British gov
eminent, are seeking to establish a
title, or failing in that attempt, to set
tie the question of ownership beyond
question. George Brayley, Boston
musician, is one of those interested and
it is understood a brother will go to
England shortly to further investigate
the case.
Besides a large parcel of land within
the citadel enclosure, the claimants
name the land upon which stands the
military hospital and garrison chapel
as property. the ownership of which Is
in doubt. The military gymnasium, mill

lands.

the property was owned by family
raned Rundt, and it Is claimed 1T was
leased by the military authorities.
Those who are now Investigating the
case are of the opinion, they say, that
the leases have eXutred and 1t Is be-
cause of this that attorneys We're en-
gagged to take hold of the matter.
The leased deeds have not been found
and thus far there has been no trace
of any deed by which the militia ac-
quired the property absolutely. The
two parcels of land, with the buildings
on them, are Of great value, situated as
they are in the most elevated part OF
the city. 1t is understood, however,
that should the claimants succeed in
establishing a title that the individual
gains would not be particularly large
