GERMAN TERMS MEAN WAR.
Clash Coming Over Morocco u In
sisted Upon.

Clash Coming Over Morocco II In
sisted Upon.
According to official information re-
ceived in London from Berlin, Ger
many not only demands that all the
powers shall participate In the exc
cution of reforms in Morocco, but
that the work of watching the frontier
shall be divided among them, thus
realizing the fears expressed by an
official of the foreign Office in an in
terview with the Associated Press last
Thursday that the German delegates
might insist on regulations clashing
with what France considers her spe-
cial privileges, for instance, the polio
ing of the frontier.
If Germany persists in this attitude
In the conference it is believed a
most serious situation will arise, as
France is certain to resist, and Great
Britain will support France. The Brit
ish government, while believing the
conference will finally reach a salts
factory settlement, realizes that per-
sistence by Germany in her demands
will cause irritation which will re-
quire all the efforts of the delegates
to remove, and 1t expects the support
of the United States. Spain and Italy.
