SITUATION GRAVE.
Germany's Action on Police Sys-
tenn Leaves But One Course
Open to France.
END PRIVATE NEGOTIATIONS.
Then Appeal Would be Made to the
World Before the Open
Conference.

Paris. Feb. 2o.--Germanys rejection
OF Frances proposal at Algeciras-that
the proposed Moroccan police system
shall be French and Spanlsh-has given
renewed gravity to the Franco-German
situation. II is officially announced that
Germanys action leaves France no
course but to termlnte the private me-
gotiations and appeal to the judgment
of the world before the open conference.
This decision suspends the meetings
between NJ. Revolt. head OF the French
mission at Algeciras. and Herr Won
Radowitz, chief of the German dele
cation, at which they have been seek
Ing TO find an accord. The failure to
agree promises to result In a prolonged
crisis in which each side maintains the
position which 1t took up before the
open conference.
Reports are IN circulation to the effect
that France intends to withdraw from
the conference. but they are not con-
firmed and the determination OF the
French delegates to carry the case be-
fore the open conference shows that
the withdrawal stake has not yet been
reached. II Is expected that the strain
ed situation will have the effect of re-
newing the alarmist war reports and Of
arousng public apprehension.

SECRETARY ROOT ON
THE MONROE DOCTRINE.

Washington, Feb, 2O.--The diplomatic
representatives OF the South American
republics in this city are discussing
with great interest the speech made by
Secy. Root at the dinner which the
brazilian ambassador gave in his honor
and in honor of the countries which
will send delegates to the Pan-Ameri-
can congress In Rio ole Janeiro next
summer. Mr.. Root talked chiefly about
the Monroe doctrine, and spoke In part
as follows!
When President Monroe, coming to
the aid OF struggling Spanish-Ameri-
ca, made the audaclous and gallant
declaration that no part of the Ameri-
can continent must be deemed subject
to colonization. by any European power
he affirmed the proposition that all the
American republics are competent to
maintain throughout their territories
government answering TO the demands
of civilization. preserving order enforc-
ing the law, doing justice and perform
ing all international obligations.
TO that proposition all of us stand
committed, Its truth we all maintain.
Every evidence In its support is a
source Of satisfaction 10 us. Every
forward step in the path OF progress
by any American republic Is a cause
OF JOY to all of us. Let me then, Mr.
Ambassador. pass along the toast
which you were good enough to pro-
pose 10 my unworthy self ask you to
drink to the sisterhood Of American
republics May every one of them grow
In prosperity and strength. May the
independence. the freedom and the
rights of the least and weakest be
ever represented equally with the rights
of the strongest and may we all do
our share towards the building up of a
sound and enlightened public opinion
Of the Americans which shall every
where, upon both continents nightly
promote the reign OF peace. OF order
and or justice, In every American re-
public"
