KING EDWARD AND LOUBET POW-WOW Hatchet is Buried and Profcs- sions of Friendship Made .ENGLAND'S KING AT PARIS Visit Is interpreted as Response to Germany's Attitude Toward Mo
 rocco-Rulers Converse
 for an Hour.

Paris, April 6.-The arrival of King Ed ward in Paris today was the occasion for a notable manifestation of Anglo-French cordiality which is being generally inter preted tonight as a conspicuous response to Germany's attitude regarding Moroc- co, although the King remained but short time. He was met outside the city by President Loubet, who held a private conversation with his majesty, lasting nearly an hour
 The details of the conversation excited a wide range of speculation, but it's actu- al purport has not been disclosed. How ever, a semi-official communication re- cites that the meeting had far less re- serve than that between King Edward and President Loubet last year. and that it was marked by the freedom of the condolences exchanged
 Beyond this private conversation King Edward confined himself to the usual pub lie expressions of good will. He spoke at the station of the pleasure a visit to France always gave him; but there was not the slightest public utterance having significance upon pending political af- fairs. In this respect the Kings reserve is being compared with the freedom of A1hiPNAOA " Q AtCShb dAhCAdhNSos
 No Spectacular Feature.
 The passage of the King was unattend- ed by any spectatular features, as it was the earnest wish of the authorities to avoid political demonstration. Presi- dent Loubet joined the royal train at Piereftte station. where, surrounded by distinguished officials of both govern ments the two rulers exchanged their first greetings. The King conducted President Loubet to his private car where conversation continued until Lyons rail way station was reached. The crowd was held back by cordons of police, the ab- sence of military display being notieea- ble. During the half hour at the station, King Edward continued to talk with Pres ident Loubet and held an extended con ference with the British ambassador at Paris, Sir Francis Levison Bertie.
 King Edward left Paris at 7:lO o'clock for Marseilles, where he will join Queen Alexandria on board the royal yacht Victoria and Alberta
 A semi-official communication relative to the meeting of King Edward and Pres ident Loubet says:
 Talked of Political Questions.
 "lt is natural to suppose the conversa~ tion between the King and the President led to an exchange of views upon diplo- matlc questions Of the day; but as neither has divulged the condolences it is neces- sary to receive with reserve the more or less ngenius speculations which will be placed in circulation. Judging however from external appearances. one cannot but remark that the meeting today was marked not only by less reserve than that of last year, but notably by the greater freedom of the condolences ex- changed
 Despite this official reserve the public and press herald the meeting as most sig niflcant. The Journal Des Debats says:
 Tt is a new affirmation of the Anglo English entente which will be followed by naval demonstrations by British and French squadrons."
 The Debats in response to the attitude Germany has taken towards France says:
 '1t will be imprudent if statesmen at Berlin fail to observe this particularly conspicuous re-affirmation of the Anglo French entente"
 The effect of the visit apepars to be to strengthen the determination to pro- ceed with Frances policy in Morocco in accordance with the terms of the Anglo French agreement.
