of the Moroccan conference by an al
most continuous sllirmish by M. Revell,
head of the French delegation, and
Count Won Tattenbach, the second OF
Germany's delegates. While the amen

was the beginning of fresh controver-
sizes between France and Germany
which were likely to be protracted and
of increasing earnestness.
Difference in the Races.
The offense displayed by the two
plenipotentiaries suggested the serious
differences of the race. NJ. Revell was
keen, analytical of mind, skillful in
fine diplomatic phrasing, and with
grace of expression and winning per-
sonality. Count Won Tattenbach was
downright of speech and soldierly in
manner, trusting to the solidity of his
ideas and facts.
