GERMANY HAS

May Compel Latter Country

~ THE JOURNALS spoclal WINE

By THE JOURNALS Special Wire.
BERLIN, Aug. Calculations be-
tween France and Germany. never too
friendly promise o become strained
through the declarations Of refugees
from Casa Blanca that the French were
TO blame for the recent massacre there.
The general opinion now seems to be
that France has attempted to obtain
complete domination in Morocco. Al
though it chafed when they saw their
rivals exercising force in Morocco, Ger
mans accepted the view that the land
ing of an army was necessary.
The declarations OF Missionary w. r.
Bolton and other refugees on arriving
lin England, that France deliberately
caused the Moorish outbreak to give
her an excuse to interfere, has caused
a different view to be taken.
If these reports are true Germany
will undoubtedly force France TO with
draw her troops from Morocco.

TAFT CAN CARRY

nx rHr -IouRNAL,s speeIal vic.

COLUMBUS, o., Aug. 21.-The
speech delivered oy Secretary Taft on
Tuesday and Foraker's interview in
reply will have no effect on the Ohio
situation.
with the colored voters strongly
with the Senator the tariff revisionists
and friends of protection both dissatis-
fed, and organized labor far from
being pleased, Foraker and his organ
ization are ready for a fight to a finish
with the Secretary Of War. The unpop-
ularity OF Foraker and the popularity
of President Roosevelt, who is regard
ed here as Tafts hacker, make the
fight an unequal one in this State. 1t
lis generally conceded that Roosevelt
can carry the Ohio delegation and he
can deliver it to Taft, but to no other
man. 1t is doubtful If Foraker could
carry district in the state at a pri-
mary against Taft and at district con-
gressional conventions could not get
more than four votes out Of the 46
that the State is entitled to. There
is a growing sentiment among Ohio
Republicans that Roosevelt will be re-
nominated if there is even the slight
est possibility of Taft losing out at
the National convention.

SUBMARINE BOAT COULD
SINK TWENTY BATTLESHIPS

BY THE JOURNALS Special Wire.
NEWPORT, r. J., Aug. 21.-The Sc
verest tests to which submarine ves-
sells have ever been subjected in this
country ended to-day, when the board
of inspection and survey submitted to
the Navy Department the results of its
recent work in these waters, covering
a period of eleven weeks.
The latest triumph Of the submarine
is the demonstration by the Viper that
the boats OF this class are not limited
to work close I'm shore. The Viper left
Newport Friday morning and did not
return until yesterday. During this
time she cruised independently and ran
under water continuously for six hours.
Her officers say that during the period
they could have sunk no less than
twenty battleships and that hereafter
large war vessels cannot be safe from
submarine attacks within a radius Of
5000 miles. It is believed that the
forthcoming report of the board Of in
spection will give the use Of subma-
rines the greatest impetus since they
were first introduced as weapons of
