GERMANY FOR THE
OPEN DOOR POLICY
STANDS FOR FREEDOM OF TRADE
IN MOROCCO.
INFORMS UNITED STATES
Position OF Empire in Northern Afri-
can Matter Communicated to Sec
rotary Of War Taft by Ambassador
Sternburg and Note Immediately
Forwarded to President Roosevelt.

Washington. April Germany yes
terday clearly outlined to the United
States her Moroccan policy. Acting
under instructions from Berlin, Am
bassador Sternburg called at the war
department and left with Secretary
Taft memorandum to this effect:
Germany stands for the open
door in Morocco as in the far east.
and for the preservation OF the status
quo, and for the safeguarding of the
commercial and trade interests. nos
only Of Germany, but of all trading
nations of the world.
Secretary Taft, without committing
this government on the subject
thanked the ambassador and prompt
ly forwarded the memorandum to
President Roosevelt
Germany makes no mention OF
France in the memorandum. nor does
she request an expression of views by
the United States. This information
has Aeen conveyed to the United
States because of sensational reports
abroad about Germany's attitude.
In diplomatic circles the signifi.
canoe of Germany's frank avowal at
Washington Of her views about Moroc-
co is not underestimate ami the in
cident has attracted all the more at
tention because of its occurrence on
the day which the Washington gov
eminent officially disclosed the initial
role played by Emperor William in
the exchanges of the powers last year
regarding Chinese neutrality in the
far eastern war. Some diplomats
believe the object of the German rep
RESERVATIONS at this time is to evoke
from Washington a similar qvowal OF
adherence to the open door" policy
in Morocco.
Although Secretary Taft was not so
informed, nor does his memorandum
indicate it. it is believed that sim
liar statement of Germanys VOWS may
have been addressed also to st. Pet
and Madrid
No official statement Of the German
position is Obtainable at the German
embassy here, In view of the fact thar
President Roosevelt has scarcely had
Time to consider the memorandum.

NO TRACE OF MISSING BANKER.

Started to Cross Lake,

AlgOma, Wis, April There is still
no clue to the whereabouts of Edward
Decker, Jr., the banker who disap-
peared off the Pere Marquette ferry
No. IS Saturday while the boat was
coming to Milwaukee.
Relatives here still cling to the hope
that the missing man was not drowned
but admit that there Is little if any
doubt that Mr.. Decker met his death In
Lake Michigan. Investigation along
lines suggested by the Pere Marquette
officials that Mr.. Decker never got on
board the ferry seems to show that he
did get on the BOAT and started the
trip. 1t is feared that if the drownina
theory is correct the body may never
be recovered.
Milwaukee, April 7.-Oficials of the
Pere Marquette Steamship company

Ludington on Satui day noon last. but
