WITH UNLIMITED SCOPE
Germany Maintains international Cor
ference Must Consider Moroc-
can Question

Paris, June 2S.-Germany's reply TO
the French note on the subject OF
Morocco was presented during a con.
ference between Prince Radolin. thu
German ambassador, and Premie-
Rouvier at the foreign Office Tuesday
While most friendly in form and en-.
tirely lacking a peremptory tone, Ger.
pany's response none the less main.
tains the position that the Moroccan
question must be regulated by a con.
ference OF the powers without any
agreement in advance, limiting the
scope Of such conference. This was
accompanied by the presentation Of
Germany's general point OF view in
such an amicable spirit as to disarnl
the suspicion entertained concerning
Germany's Interior motives.
Prince Radolin remained after the
presentation OF the note for a lengthy
conversation, in which Germanys de
sire for an amicable adjustment OF the
difficulty was further expressed.
II is thought that Premier Rouvier
will be prepared TO terminate the con.
troversy either by accepting the con.
ference or submitting counter pro
posals. However. he Informed Prince
Radolin that no decision would be
taken until the German note had beer
submitted TO the council OF ministers
a. its next regular meeting, which will
take place Friday, so that final deter.
mination remains in allegiance unless
the council should be called in special
session. II is the general expectation
that an agreement will be reached on
the basis OF conference
Tension in official quarters has
rotably diminished and this is only ex.
Ilainable on the theory that confer
ence will be accepted, as Germany's
response does not make any notable
concession.

Two New Sun Spots Discovered.

Prof. E. c. Pickering, the director of Har-
wards astronomical observatory at Cam
bridge, Mas, discovered Friday two
new sun spots on the sun, each about
10000 miles in diameter and one on each
side of the 70.000-mile spot discovered
Thursday. Prof. Pickering, with a hastily
contrived focal plane camera, secured
some excellent photographs which he thinks
will go a long way toward clearing up the
mystery Of these phenomena.
In the photograph the 90 000-mile spot is
almost black, although, according to Lang
ley its darkest spot is brighter than a cal
"cium light. What Is the cause for this
dark appearance he cannot say. Some as
sert there has been an eruption under
meath and that layers of vapor have set
tied down from above thus shutting out
the suns light.
Another theory is that the spot is merely
hole in the outside atmosphere which
surrounds the sun, this outside atmosphere
being at white heat, but the under section,
revealed through the aperture. being dark.
As the sun rotates the big spots are
moving from left to right. little above
the equator, and the Harvard observers
are waiting with interest to learn, as the
spots reach the opposite edge, whether they
are depreSSionS or not

brought into the waist, where they are
stitched again to form a broad girdie or
belt. Over the bust a spring Is given TO
these pleats by allowing them to separate
as they Will.
The back repeats the idea of pleats, and
just above the broad-stitched belt the coat
blouses trifle. This effect gives emphasis
to the curve of the waist and hips.
From the belt the skirt of the coat falls
in long graduated box pleats which seem TO
be a continuation of those in the pody
part. The pieats are more than twice as
wide at the bottom they are at the belt,
and the coat Is shorter than the skirt by
only five six inches.
AS the coat spreads in front 1t shows a
plain panel running the full length of the
walking skirt. The rest of the skirt is
pleated to match the coat, but these pleats
are only pressed instead of being stitched.
OF late this latter effect is used only around
the hips, If there is any stitching. 1t is con-
sidered much better style to give all the
freedom possible to the bottom of the walk
ing costume.
For spring wear the idea of an unlined
skirt will be pushed forward much as
possible by good dressmakers 1t Is just as
easy to mount skirts on bands without the
taffeta Drop and they are so much more
comfortable for spring wear than with the
extra lining. A dainty lingerie petucoat, or
in some instances a taffeta one, harmonic
ing with or matching the cloth skirt, sup
plies enough foundation to the outer gar
ment.
In the gun-metal walking costume here
suggested there Is a very smart decoration
of. hand embroidery. which does not in the
least destroy the one-color scheme so much
in vogue. A shaped vest giving yoke ef-
feet at the throat and coming to a very
narrow insertion at the waist is made of
chiffon velvet of exactly the same shade as
the cloth. Then upon this a small conven-
tional design is carefully and daintily

COMPLETE CHARACTERS.
Persons in Whom Excellences Are Con-
summately Blended.

From the Saturday Review.
There are some types of unworldly char
acter which the world readl'- understands
or at least recognizes. The priest, the
prophet the physician-those who minis
ter to the souls and to the bodies of men,
even those who foretell woe and disaster.
are accepted as coming with the ordinary
scheme of things. The reformer, too, and
the fanatic. who force their violent opin-
ion on unwilling ears. seem, after all, to fit
into a niche prepared for them. They do
not violate mems sense of fitness. Their
occurrence has always been noted through
the ages and the absence of them. rather
than their presence, would seem abnormal
Quite otherwise is it, however with
type Of character which does not readily
command the worlds attention and which,
rare and precious as it is, seldom meets
with understanding. The word perfect
has come to be associated in mems minds
with the possession of certain moral quail
ties. Completeness, therefore, rather than
perfection may more aptly express the
type of character we would describe. The
complete MANN whom no single gift,
virtue or power exercises an unmusical
predomfnance. He possesses what it is
supposed to be the function Of all higher
education to impart, the just equiponse of
all the faculties of the mind. Unlike the
other types OF character whom we have
mentioned he does not catch the eve by
breadth of color. He frequently passes for
mediocrity. There is nothing about him
to proclaim wherein he differs so abso-
1utely from those others around him. He
would never attract attention to himself
