BERLIN, Aug. Alderman officials dep
recate the idea that the visit OF the French
ambassador, Jules Cambon. to Chancellor
Won Buelow at Norderney today was oc-
casioned by developments in Morocco and
that Won Buelow's invitation to him means
that Germany is disquieted over the Casa
blanca Incidents. The officials here say
the visit is due to the wish expressed In
July by NJ. Cambon to see Prince Won Bue-
low, whose other engagements prevented
an earlier invitation.
While the fighting at Casablanca has not
caused the meeting of the two statesmen
at Norderney,' they will talk over the
Moroccan situation. This does not mean,
however. that Germany is seeking any spe-
cial arrangement with France.
This is impossible in view of the terms
of the Algecirss convention, which remain
intact. Germany thus far sees no occasion
to depart from her previous policy of yield
ing to France and Spain the right to es-
tablish order in Morocco.

some misgvings lest the German govern
