uaInr ali her influence at Berlin to pre-
want rupture between France and
Germany Her action has been taken
q IA instance 81 Paris where the
Rouyier government ID apparently con-
vinced that Germany proposes to per-
s,st n her attitude even to the point
n provokInR war. On account Of the
close relations existing between the
courts Of Berlin and st. Petersburg II
"a believed In France that Russia will
have more influence upon Emperor
william than any other power. Earn
est representations in favor Of con-
cessions to insure avoidance of an APP
neal to arms were accordingly being
made to which Germany replied that
she had no desire to provoke war.
Nevertheless she gave no indication
that she proposed to modify her at
titude and Russia's latest advices from
AlReciras indicate that practically all
hone of an agreement had been aban-
doned. Although Count Cassini, head
Of the Russian mission, reports that
the conference win be fruitless, he ex-
presses decided opinion that hos
tiIities will not result. Russia Is much
concerned about the situation as war

Official Tuesday, "that France made
concessions before the conference
met and has continued to do SO since.
Nov Germany, which heretofore
had refused to withdraw single
step. says she Is prepared to give way
on some points II France yiUlds some
thing. 1t is difncult to see what
further France can concede. To give
an unfriendly power control Of the
state bank would be prejudicial to
the Frenchmen who have been fnan-
cling Morocco for years, while any
relaxation Of Frances efforts to tran.
Quilize the sultan's empire by hand
ing over the police to the powers
would cause endless troubles In her
North African colony. Even the sug.
gestion that she give Italy hand
with herself In Spain In oncering tne
France should control the finances
