COLLEAGUES OPPOSED HIS
POLICY
RoUvIER ASSUMES DUTIES
Change In the Cabinet Expected to
MolIlfy Germany and Clear Up
Trouble Regarding Moroc-
can Affair
BY Associated Press.


PARIS, June en-. Delcasse today
presented his resignation and defin-
itely retired from any further direction
of the foreign affairs of France. His
resignation was submitted at a meet
ing of the council of ministers at the
Elysee palace under the presidency of
President Loubet. The council opened
at 1:1O p. m. and lasted nearly two
hours.
The meeting aroused deep interest
owing to the belief that the Moroccan
situation would result in a ministerial
crisis. M. Delcasse, in submitting his
resignation, explained the reasons lead
ing up to his action. He said he rec
ognized that differences of view had
arisen between himself and his col
leagues relative to the failure of the
foreign policy of France, particularly
concerning the direction of negotiations
with Morocco. Therefore he had be-
lieved it to be desirable in the interest
Of the ministry and of the country, to
place his resignation in the hands of
the president.
Premier Rouvier in responding ex-
pressed the regrets of his colleagues,
adding a tribute to NJ Delcasse for
past services. M. Rouvier thereupon
announced that he would perform ad
interim the duties of minister of foreign
affairs
viii Relieve Situation
Later it was announced that NJ.
Rouver would hold the portfolio of
foreign affairs indefinitely, probably
yielding the ministry of finance (Which
he directs in addition to being premier),
in order to devote his entire attention
to the solution of the trouble in the
foreign situation.
The final meeting between M. Del
casse and his colleagues developed un-
usual interest as he found that their
sentiment united against the policy he
had pursued. NJ. Delcasse himself said
the divergences formerly existing had
reached a stage where he found all
his colleagues opposed to him. There
fore, he added, it only remained for
him to surrender his portfolio.
Diplomats attach much Importance
to M. Rouvier's taking up foreign af-
fairs as they regard him as being q
statesman of unusual force. They fore
see marked results in the various pend"
ing International questions from NJ
Rouvier's direction of foreign affairs.
The change in the cabinet is expected
to ameliorate the Moroccan situation
first because Germany, being satisfied
with the fall of the minister who ig-
nored her during the early stage of the
Moroccan negotiations will now be dis
posed to treat in a more friendly spirit
with his successor and also because the
new policy of France will probably seek
to secure Germany's cooperation
rather than prolong the resistance to
Germany's claims.

The Electric Hallway.

The electric railway company is
making arrangements for connecting
the road with the new highway bridge
,,,r The Potomac. For several weeks
past the company has had force OF
hands employed in building temporary
treslle from the bridge over the Column
hia pike, near Arlington junction, IN a
direct line across the swamp at A!exan'
der Island to the Virginia end OF the
new Highway bridge, and this trestle
will be used by the dinky trains in max
ing the high embankment over the
swamp, and the stream which hows
through the swamp will be bridged.
Mcmillan & McDermOtt, the contractors
for the building of the embankmenf,
are prepared to start work at once, and
have brought a steam shovel to -Four
Mile run with which to begin the cut
ting down of the high bill to the west OF
the railway tracks in order to obtain
material for the fill. A double-track
railway is to be laid on it. This ill will
eliminate the ugly long trestle just north
of Arlington Junction and will give
complete double track from Alexandra
10 Washington.
The work of reducing the grade at
Mount Vernon starts at point about 8
mile north of the station and gradual
rise is made in order to do away with the
steep grade. The trestle over Little
Hunting creek will be raised eighteen
feet and at Mount Vernon the track will
be lowered about four feet. This work
when completed will make the graie
easy to climb and will save time aud
wear on the cars.
Among other improvements to be
made 10 the plant Of the company Is the
enlarging of the car barn and machine
shop at Four-Mile run. Both buildings
are to be enlarged to about twice the
present capacity and are to be fitted with
new machinery for the quick repair OF
disabled cars. On
The company has acquired about fifty
acres of land in the vicinity of Four
Mile run. and it is stated that this Will
be used for picnic ground aud pleasure
park. and that more car equipment Will
be provided for taking care of increasing
traffic. II is also stated that the rail-
way company will run the park as
temperance resort. The Improvements
being made by the company will, 1t IS
stated, cost nearly half a million OF
dollars.

Church Work in Fairfax County.

The work of restoring old Pohick
Church, the Rev. Everard Meade, rector,
is to be continued shortly. Some money
is in hand to put in part OF the pews
This will be done during the winter.
The work has been impeded because
sufficiency of funds has not yet bean
contributed. AS this is one OF the old
est and most interesting churches, not
only in Virginia, but in the entire
United States, being the place of wor-
snip of George Washington, two or three
miles from Mt. Vernon, surely this
money should be forthcoming from the
many friends and descendants of those
who helped to establish the Church in
this land in long ago. AS it is intended
to make this work of restoration as
nearly perfect as possible, it will be un-
der the direction of one Of the best arch
fleets. 1t is designed to combine the
necessary comfort in seating arrange
ments for the congregation with the an
tique designs.
Two very interesting missions have
recently been held in this Truro parish
-one by Rev. John r. Matthews,
which lasted FIVE days. Bible readings
were conducted each morning, and in the
evening the forceful add helpful sermons
OF which this man of God Is capable
drew large congregations, the mem
bers of which were greatly helped.
During the second week in October,
Archdeacon Tyler conducted mission,
dividing his time between Pohick church
and Olivet chapel. His solemn prayer
services, good sermons and helpful in
tercourse with the people will result in
much good. AS the outcome OF these
missions, number Of candidate are await
