place.
Immediately after the slide the
houses caught fire and the persons

GERMANYS PLANS
REGARDING MOROCCO
Kaiser VIII Demand That All the
Powers Participate in Policing
Moroccan Frontier.

London. According TO official In.
formation received in London from
Berlin, Germany not only demands
that all the powers shall participate
In the execution OF reforms in Moroc-
co, but that the work of watching the
frontier shall be divided among them.
II Germany persists in this attitude
in the conference 1t is believed a most
serious situation will arise, as France
is certain to resist, and Great Britain
will support France. The British gov
eminent, while believing the confer
ence will finally reach satisfactory
settlement, realizes that persistence
by Germany in her demands will
cause irritation which will require all
the efforts OF the delegates to remove,
and In this 1t expects the support Of
the United States, Spain and Italy.
In official and unofficial circles the
possibility of war is considered the re-
hottest, even if the conference fails,
particularly as those who are inspiring
the German policy do not belong to
the war party, but are powerful COM
mercial men.
