GERMANY IN MOROCCO.
Positions of the Kaiser's Government
Outlined

Germany has outlined to the United
States in clear terms the position claimed
by the Berlin government In Morocco.
Baron Sternburg, the German ambassador,
yesterday called on Secretary Taft, and IN
the name of the German emperor left with
the Secretary a brief memorandum setting
forth the Moroccan policy which Germany
has all along pursued and from which she
does not propose to be swerved. In sub
stance the memorandum announces that:
Germany stands for the open door In
Morocco no less firmly than I'm the far east,
for the preservation of the Moroccan status
quo and for the safeguarding and protec-
ton of the commercial and trade interests
in Morocco. not only of Germany, but OF all
the trading nations OF the world
In comforting today with Secretary Tart
the German ambassador was acting upon
suggestion made to him when he called at
the White House last week to say good
bye to the President. The President then
took occasion to say TO the German envoy.
as he had said TO other ambassadors, that
during the absence of Secretary Hay they
were to communicate with him through
Secretary Taft upon matters warranting
his consideration.
Secretary Taft. while expressing interest
in the emperor's views, refrained from COM
hitting this government on the subject
