PARIS September "A ray of hope for a
possible ,pIution of the Moroccan problem
came rrun the Moorish empire tonight in the
shape Of AN announcement that the tribes
men were ready To negotiate for peace

IN an official cabegram. stating that dele
CATION from the warning Arabs had asked
Gen pr.dr FOR an armistice. pending a set
Element Of y. ace terms. The armistlce was
TO have expired today. but the result is not
vt known
No sr.-g. Expectations are based upon this
arnour,. ..urut. for there is some suspicion
that the move may x trick of the Moors
To gain lime to bring in achievements.
Al HON. the new features in the MOroc-
can ,Irirs tiou from the Franch standpoint
are fnGnl In the opinions OF the German
press ON ta- question OF decentralization
for German losses that grew out of the
bombaromeut of Casa Blanca, and the eff
feet Of Tire project to police Morocco by
France and Spain.
In an editorial article accepted as in
spired IN. Temps suggests that the ques-
tion Of damages be submitted to an inter
national committee similar TO that which
was summoned after the bombardment
Of AIexau !ria. and that the action of TINS
colnmitf". should be based upon the reCoS-
milton of the principle that a local govern
ment Is responsible for disorders. Such
solution Of the question. the Temps thinks,
should be- accepted by Germany, just as
she did in the ease of Egypt.
