the view Of a renewal of the modus vivendi to

opposed TO the government. which attempt 10

ing that the government is prepared to sacrifice
the interests Of the colony to maintain the good
will OF the United States. Even these papers.
however admit that the submission of the Ques
ton to The Hague is the best solution available
Of the 'wearisone controversy and that some
temporary arrangement must be made until the
arbitrators render decision.
The other papers. apparently. are awaiting
some announcement from Sir Edward Grey, the
FOREIGN Secretary who has thus far declined to

CLEMENCEAU PLEASED.
Conferences of Croscned Heads
Favorable to France.
Especial by French Cable to The Tribune)
1cnrr-rscf,t 1901 h,, Tha T,rihirna Association.

Paris, Aug 24.-Premier Clemenccau, who is
due in Paris on Sunday, is reported to be in
splendid health after his Carlsbad cure. and in
equally splendid spirits after his conversation
with King Edward at Marienbad. Seldom have
there been many meetings OF crowned heads
and diplomatists in the present summer. The
interviews of Swinemiindea Wilhelmshohe. Ischl.
Marienbad. Semmering and Nordency are all ia
vorable for France
NJ. Clemenceau and NJ. Pichon. the. Minister of
Foreign Affairs. fully satisfied with the situ-
alton. being convinced that no foreign complica-
tions will arise from Morocco, where the French
government viii strictly adhere to its original
policy of holding Casablanca, which for tactical
reasons requires the occupation Of the heights
a few miles south of the town and occasional
offensive movements TO Keep the Moors at a re-
spectful distance. The French popular feeling
undoubtedly approves this policy. Any idea of
conquest is secuted, Frenchmen wisely recol-
lecting that it took France sixty years to pacify
Algeria, and to accomplish a similar task in
Morocco would be ten times more difficult
Another cause of satisfaction for the Clemen-
ceau Cabinet is the result of the Socialist Con-
gress at Stuttgart, which deals crushing blow
to Jean Jaures and NJ. Herve, the former leaders
of the French Socialists, who so fiercely opposed
the government by proclaiming the rights of
soldier3 and sailors to strike and to refuse mill
tary duty. NJ. Herve's statement. made in the
Socialist Congress and indorsed by NJ. Jaures.
that never would he give drop of his blood
TO defend his country" elicits a storm of indig-
nation in France, even from the extreme So
cialists. The events in Morocco have given a
FLIP 10 French patriotism. so that NM. Jaures
and Herve now cease TO be factors among the
opponents Of the Clemenceau Cabinet.
The experiments made at fOrient with the
object of affording protection against torpedoes
to the six turbine battleshps now under con-
struction have proved successful that the
naval experts have recommended that the new
ships be provided with armored compartments
placed below the armored belt. each compart-
ment being independent of the other so that if
penetrated by torpedo the damage would not
extend beyond the compartment itself and the
interior hull would prevent the edge of the tor
pedo from entering. The French naval authori-
ties believe that this invention makes ships
invulnerable against torpedoes c. l. B.
