IN. Delcasse that the ministry was unit

foreign policy.
M. Delcasse's staying In the Cabinet

fore been shown. The foreign minis
ter's policy has been to give Germany
adequate assurances that her interests
lin Morocco would be treated the same
las those Of the rest Of the world, but
after making these approaches, he did
not desire to yield Frances entire pro-
iect concerning Morocco at the dicta-
Hon Of Germany. ~

away. Local telephone and telegraph
wires were tangled and broken by the;
weight Of heavy. clinging snow, and,
electric communication in residences
and business houses was cut on.
The storm, which continued fercely
all Easter day and night, made it diff
ficult to attend church services and
made the Easter bonnet droop its
proud plumage in disappointment.
Throughout the state, great damage
was done by the storm Railroad traf-
fic was delayed Washouts were threat
ened and serious landslites occurred
on the Rio Grande, in the Royal Gorge
and at other points bsopys other lines.
