Fargo has been as metropoH-

of farmers. They have come from
every part Of the state, and all are
talking farming One thing that inn

very conspicuous in the development

They are here for purpose, too.
Not many have come for good time,

Washington D. c., Jan. 15.-It is
stated here that the interests of the
United States in the present Morocco
conference are limited to the preserva-
ion of the open-door by the continu-
ance OF the most-favored nation treat
ment which this country has long en-
joyed by treaty with Morocco. 1t is
said on the best of authority that
Messrs. White and Gummere, the
American delegates, go into the con-
ference absolutely uncommitted to
either the French or the German con-
tentions. With the political future of
Morocco this country has no particular
concern or, at least, it is intimated
that no such concern will be manifest
ed in the conference by the American
delegates if it is possible for them to
maintain position of neutrality. 1t
is certain that there is no intention on
the part of this government to enter
into any entangling alliances which
would involve the use of force in COM

10 Adjust The Differences Between France and GERMANY
In the Morocco Dispute--lhe History Of The
Affair and Points to Be Considered.

his visit to Tangier last June, when in
a speech to the officials there he made
1t most clear that In his opinion no
country was predominant in Morocco.
France was aroused at this, and the
ensuing complications brought about
a tension between Germany and
France which threatened serious con-
sequences. Finally, after extended me-
gotiations, France and Germany
agreed upon Moroccan conference.
The invitations for this gathering
were sent to the powers by the sui
tan, but the entire affair is under the
management of Germany and France.
These two countries have prepared
a programme which it is expected will
be followed. 1t contains numerous
questions which both governments
want settled, including the regulation
OF the financial affairs of Morocco, po-
lice protection and one or two other
things.
One thing appears certain-the re-
suits of the conference are not likely
to prove very satisfactory to Germany.
There appears to be no great difference
OF opinion among the other powers on
the principal points at issue. Most
OF the nations interested with the ex-
ception of Germany, appear to support
the French point of view. England all
along has supported the French posi-
tion and Italy and Spain are expected
to cooperate with British infleunce.
The final decisions require unani-
nous action, but save in few mat
ters of more immediate interest to
Germany it is not likely that the Ger
man representative will care to take
upon himself or his government the
responsibility of dissenting from all
his colleagues. Such position would
mean isolation for Germany from the
very start, and If war should ultf-
mately result from the controversy
France would have the moral support
and sympathy of the world, while Ger
many would suffer because of this iso-
lation.
