FRANCES HOPE IN

French Look to Britain for Sup
port Against Kaiser in Moroc-
can Conference.

Paris, Jan. 5.--A portion Of the
French delegation to the. Moroccan, con
ference starts for Algeciras next Mon,
day, as it is now considered settled
that the sessions will open Jan. l6.
French official opinion considers the
situation as materially improved. When
the recent British ministerial change
occurred, it was the expectation in Ger
many that the new liberal ministry
would abandon the former ministry g
energetic support Of the French posi-
ton regarding Morocco. It can be au-
thoritatively stated, however, that the
new liberal ministry occupies exactly
the same position as the former Lans-
downe ministry relative to supporting
the French position in Morocco. This
the French officials feel, removes one
Of Germany 's' chief reliances in weak
ening the cause Of France. There re-
main Italy and Spain, whose interests
in Morocco are considerable, but France
has reason to expect their cooperation
with British influence.
Moreover, it is officially known thai
the king Of Portugal, who is an ally OF
Great Britain, will proceed to Madri6

of unity among the powers having SINH
lar views concerning the future Of Mo-
Britain with France.

London, Jan. 5.-Offcial and unoff-
cial circles, in Great Britain do not con-
slider the Franco-German situation as
serious. It is true that the reports en-
anating from France had a slight effect
on the stock market, but this was only
temporary.
If Germany proposals regarding the
protection of her trade do not inter,
fere with a fair field for the trade Of
all the countries, she is not likely to
meet with any opposition from Great
Britain.
It is stated in trustworthy circles,
however, that Germany may introduce
a claim to placing German soldiers in
Morocco. This France is certain to
resist, and under the agreement Great
Britain must uphold her contention.
While the officials here decline to
comment on the cabled announcement
that the United States stands uncom-
mitted on the question of policing the
| Moroccan frontier, some disappointment
is expressed in other circles, because
! it had been expected that the United
States would indorse the position of
France on this point, which seems to
be the only one on which a disagree
ment is probable.
