Germany is Said to Be Prepar-
ing for Battle.
Moroccan Crisis Indicates a More
Serious State of Affairs Than
Suspected.
THE KAISER is PREPARED

London, Jan. 10.-The Moroccan
situation continues to hold the center
of the stage.
The latest is that England, France
and Italy have decided to act in con-
cert in the Algeciras conference, as
they are the three powers chiefly in
terested in North African affairs.
1t Is announced from Rome that
Great Britain and Italy will back
France in her demands for special
concession in Morocco, while France
in turn will join with Great Britain
in bringing about the recognition o,
Italy's claims for preponderance of
influence in Tripoli.
This combination would seem to in
dictate that Germany will have to be
satisfied with whatever she may hap
pen to be awarded by the conference.
Judging by the day developments
however. the kaiser has no intention
of becoming an easy victim of the
shrewd diplomats representing the
powers in the combination.
The pamphlet on the Moroccan dis
pute published in Berlin today is an
interesting document. II claims
among other things that questionable
methods were adopted by the French
government in the effort to bring the
Moors to terms.
Although the Berlin foreign Office
declares that warships are being sent
to the Mediterranean II is intimated
that troops are being quietly moved
In the general direction of the French
/ frontier. and this. taken in connec'
ton with the large order for freight
cars recently placed by the German
government, leads to the belief in ar
my circles that Wilhelm is fully pre-
pared to back up his demands by
force If necessary.
Meanwhile France has the Venezu-
elan affair on her hands, and the an
nouncement is made on good authori'
ty that the government has decided
that Castro has had sufficient time to
think the matter over and make suit
able amends, for the mistreatment oil
NJ. Taigny, and that unless satisfac-
tory representation are Forthcoming
drastic action will be- taken. In some
circles the announcement is looked
upon as an effort to divert attention
from the Moroccan affair.
