Paris, Sept. 3o.-Dr. Rogen, for Ger
been discussing since July 18 the No
roccan question, and when their pour
parlers were not being continued, M.
Revolt for France sd Prince Bulow
for .Germafy were engaged in com
munication by means of ambassadors
and Prince Radolin for Germany and
M, Bihourd for France in public. !.
AS the affair was Of long duration
the French would have lost patience if
the press had not counseled calm and
sang froid; that is to say, g We had
the right to be susceptible anu III the
right to be discontinued with having
undergone u! 4: this MS .quos ego of Emperor
Germany interfere in question in
which her interests are contestable,
whereas our own are unquestionabls -
Thus it was that with a feeling ST
relief we learned Thursday that a note
attesting accord appeared during the
evening. The accord itself is accept
able; and honorable, and as Prince BIZ
low said, there is no victor and no van
pushed. The two governments drew
up the program together. s.
The Morocco Reforms.
With, reference to the European con
| ference invoked by the sultan Of Mo
rocco, it can be said that on that occa-
sion will be, discussed questions of re-
for the purpose Of :re-establishing or
der and restoring the finances.
| 1t IS understood that these reforms
Will be- tried during three years and at
the expiration of that period will be
discontinued if necessary.
| All the European powers will be ad.
mitted on the same basis to offer their
counsels. The most important CUES:
tion. for France is that her privileged
it is stipulated that police measures or
the frontier zone will be assumed by
France, conformity with the sultan.
If Europe has wanted to intervene
or if Germany had wanted Europe tt
intervene regarding the frontier Of Al
geria and Morocco, it would have been
for us, a sort Of defeat before thu
Mussulman world. In order to under
stand the Importance of this clause ont
must >recollect that between Algeris
and Morocco the frontier is not like tn,
, It is region continually overrun b,
, bandits, and our troops are trying t,
repress them without reference t,
whether they are in Algeria or Morocco
!. . The French Public.
In frame the public has been very in
!, sistent on this nonintervention on til
/ part of Europe and now is grateful t
: Germany for having so stipulated, TO
. she shows her good faith in SO doing.
: 1t is possible that the good impress
