GREAT BRITAIN IS vExED

London. Feh. 22.-oftieial opinion in Great Britain regarding the Moroccan Conference can be summed up by the statement that 1t is now certain Ger many desires the Aigeciras conference 'o break up without settling the vexed Moroccan question. It Is contended here that not satisfied with refusing what Great Britain calls the most "lih- oral offer" on the part of France fin respect to policing Morocco. Germany has placed another obstacle In the way of settlement by making impossible suggestions in regard to the proposed State bank.
 The belief in Great Britain Is that all the efforts of German and British subjects to create a better feeling be- tween their respective countries are be- ing undone by the German attitude at AIgeciras
 Germany's Bad Faith.
 In English official circles there ta no attempt to hide the discomfort at the course of events at the conference Ger many, these officials say, in proposing the conference. promised to recognize Frances prepondersnt interests in Mo- rocco and not to place obstacles in tas way of a settlement They add that she is adopting exactly the opposite course and loses no opportunity % harass France and render futile the ef- forts of the powers to compromise the differences between the two most inter ested countries.
 The suggestion coming from Berlin that King Edward and Emperor Wll~ liam will meet shortly Is officially ds- nied. at least the foreign office officials say that they have no cognizance of tiia rumored meeting. Similar stories were circulated last year from Berlin ana 1t Is believed here that they were de- signed to create an impression that King Edward was seeking an interview with the German emperor.
