RELATIONS ARE STRAINED.
Tho Morocco Question Has Set France
and Germany to ScOwIin.
DIV the Associated Press. )

Paris, June 16.-The strained rela-
tons between France and Germany
over Morocco continue to give rise to
serious apprehension, but while open
ly admitting that there are real diff
culties involved the officials protest
against this being made the basis
of exaggerated reports.
One report that Germany had sub
mitted an ultimatum brought out a
formal denial from the Foreign Office.
At the same time the diplomatic
strain between France and Germany
is undeniably serious The chief
cause of this is the inability thus far
of either party to propose a remedy
acceptable to the other.
One of the chief causes Of the pres
ent apprehension is the possibility of
some untoward incident along the
Franco German frontier which for
years has been garrisoned by formid-
able military forces.

Chicago, June 16-Although rumors
of exposures of bribery in connection
with the Transfers strike were numer-
Gus today, there was little tangible evil
dence to support = them. Assistant
States Attorney Fake declared that the
testimony given today before the grand
jury maintained the interest created
by the evidence of yesterday. The
strike today was almost dormant. But
for the sight of policemen and deputy
sheriffs riding on delivery wagons
there would have been any evidence
whatever that a strike was in pro-
gress. The business houses and ex-
press companies have reached almost
a normal stage in their deliveries.
There is no present prospects of peace.
