Sir Edward Grey's Is the Task to

Special Gable to The Journal.

special Gable to The journal.
London, Dec. 16.-Sir Edward Grey
is confronted atsfhe outset of his career
as foreign secretary with the gravest
kind of an international problem-how
to realize, King Edwards scheme Of
surrounding Germany with ring of
allied nations pledged to peace without
provoking the fatherland to a declara-
ton of war. Both the king and the
new foreign secretary are determined
to persevere in this scheme. They hold
that it is devoid Of all purpose to harm
or to hamper any nation, that it is dedi-
Gated to international amity and equal
ity and that, therefore, whoever OBJ
structs it's realization will incur the
condemnation of humanity.
The appointment of Lord Edmond
Fitzmaurice as under secretary of for
eign affairs-an appointment foretold
months ago-means that Lord Lans-
downe's policy, which is the king s
policy, will be continued. For Lord
Edmond, brother &C the former foreign
secretary, is saturated with the ideas
and policies of the late administration.
Above him stands Sir Edward Grey
who is pledged to Lord Lansdowne g
diplomacy, and above Sir Edward is Sir
Henry HlpDoll-DduueTUIdu, VINO IS Cue
willing servant Of the king in foreign
affairs. r- =
Well informed men knew that King
Edward preferred Sir Henry Campbell
Bannerman to Lord Rosebery as pre-
mier, because his majesty was aware
that the former would be the more
tractable instrument in carrying out the
royal peace plans. Well informed men
also know that when certain influential
politicians tried to forestall the ap
pointment of Lord Lansdowne' s brother
in the under secretaryship of foreign
affairs, the king interfered in favor Of
that statesman. ~ ...
These facts are important because
they mean the prosecution Of the policy
which Germany views with uneasines:
and which some observers fear may
: lead the kaiser and Princevon Buelow t
decide for war This fear is intensified
t by the fact that Russia, the ally Of
France, lies in weller Of anarchic i'm
| potence and that If Germany expects
. ever to draw the sword in behalf CT :
larger and freer empire now is the TIM
: to do it.

CURED at Epson this week. Mrs. Aggio,
wife of a wellknown veterinary sur
geon, and W. Wyatt Of EPSON made a
match to ride race over mile course
on the fiat for $500 a side. The condi-
tions were that the owners should be
up, Mrs. Aggio riding her 6-year- old
gray mare of sixteen hands, and Mr..
Wyatt a gray gelding Of fourteen hands.
The latter animal won in Ireland and
also at Melton Mowbray.
Mrs. Aggio went to the scales at

SO much in his favor, odds Of two to
one were laid on the man s mount, but
to the surprise of most Of the specta-
tors Mrs. Aggio won easily, sending her
mare to the front soon after the start
She made nearly all the running and
scored decisive victory, by eight
lengths.

of women in the saddle. Perhaps the
most notable of recent years was when

chase, rode a good second to her hus

that the temperature in the center is

continues to flow at the rate Of about
seventy hit gallons per second.
The engineers agreed that masonry
was necessary in the central roof of the
tunnel, as they doubted whether the
natural vault would bear the heat and
enormous pressure Of 2, 145 yards Of the
mountain. The question has been raised
whether the masonry will prove a suff
Gent support or whether it will melt
and 10y it's added weight bring about a
catastrophe.

"Ping pong and bridge have had

"Good looks have become necessity

Paris, Dec. 16.-Parisians were star
tied yesterday by seeing a big-booted
man whizzing along the Avenue des
Champs Elysee and thence to the Bots
de Boulogne at the rate Of twenty five

The boots resemble tiny automobiles,
fifteen inches long, fixed on high boots.
Each has four rubber tired wheels eight
inches in diameter. Accumulators are
carried in belt. They transmit by
wires one and onefourth horsepower to
each motor. The motors can be run at
speed ranging from six to thirty miles
an hour. Each boot weighs sixteen
pounds, but as the feet are not lifted up.
the weight does not matter.
Constantine claims to have Travelled
several hundred miles with them. He
intends to travel from Paris to st. Pet
ersburg on them. When asked what
would happen if one motor started at
the rate IF six miles an hour and the
other at the rate Of thirty miles ar
hour, he became diffdent and declined
to discuss the subject.

KAISER READY FOR
/ WAR WITH FRANCE
Germany Has Army and Navy Is
in Shape for Moroccan
Break.
Special Cable to The Journal.

Berlin, Dec. 16-Germany' army
and navy are ready to strike France the
moment the republic attempts at the
international conference at Madrid in
January, TO enforce it's claims to SUI
premacy in Morocco. This is the sub
stance Of a vigorous official statement
supplied by an official of the foreign
office today. Germany does not regard
the French yellow book as an unequiv-
ocal indication that France has aban-.
doned her pretensions to a preferential
position in Morocco. The book has
merely given the impression here that
while the letter Of the French schemes
has been altered the spirit remains the
same; that is, France still lays claim
to an international mandate in Morocco
and that it aims at securing highly
special rights there. Against this
policy Germany protests and will con-
tinue with all the force at it's command.
The same foreign Office official contin-
/ ued:
"Germany has the right, as a sigma
tory of the Madrid convention of 1880,
as we'll as because of its commercial in
terests, to stand guard against the dan.
ger of an eventual French protectorate
in Morocco. When Foreign Minister
Delcasse affected to treat Germany as
negligible quantity in Moroccan poll
tics and proceeded to lay the founda-
tions of a protectorate there, we OBJ
jected and insisted that the regulation
of Moroccan affairs was not the pre-
rogative of France. England, Spain or
Italy or of any combination of those
powers that participated IN the Madr1G
conference.
"Now M. Delcasse has gone and the
French press maintains that the yellow
book proves that his policy has gone,
too. If that is 80, if M. Delcasse 8 sue
cessors in office do not cherish secretly
and we have no means Of knowing
whether they do or not-a desire to dis
turb the status quo in Morocco, Ger
many will be gratified and satisfied.
We have recognized Frances special
position in Morocco so far as co Germs
the Algerian frontier, but how widely
those frontier rights extend, remains to
be determined. We certainly will not
permit them to be construed as en-
bracing the whole of the Moroccan
empire.
4 "Germany is exercising no pressure
to influence the votes at the coming
conference. We want only that each
power shall vote in its own interests.
It is Germany's sole purpose to hold
open the rich Moroccan market to the
enterprise of all nations, without dis
elimination, and to crush forever the
possibility of Frances converting that
country into second Tunis.
eff the maintenance of this principle
results in the disturbance of European
peace, the responsibility will not lie, on
this side of the Rhine. To this extent
British fear of 'Germany's warlike pur'
poses,' are fully justified. -
