GERMAN GIVES VIEWPOINT
Official Says Simple Expression of Regret
Would Clear the Air

BERLIN, Nov. 5.-The viewpoint of
Germany in the Casabanca difficulty
was explained officially by the foreign
Office today with the express desire that
it be cabled to the United States in order
to clear up any existing doubt.
"All we demand" said an official of
the foreign office. lis simple expression
of regret from France for the violence
employed against the German consular
officials at CaSablanca, an expression
such as would be demanded by any ma
ton whose officials had been subjected
to attack
No Arbitration Wanted.
"Unless this is forthcoming there
would be no object in conducting fur
Their negotiations. We cannot permit
this point to be submitted to arbitra-
ton for we regard It as a point of ma
tionaI honor that such regret should be
expressed.
I'VE do not desire that the French
officials concerned be reprimanded that
French soldiers be punished. or the adop-
ton of any measures of discipline what
ever.
Concerning the other points of the
difference we are prepared to arbitrate.
We acknowledge that some things might
have occurred on the German side which
could have been avoided, while France
also must admit, from her side, that
unnecessary acts We're committed.
No Change in Demands.
Both the French ambassador here,
NJ. Cambon and the French government
have been aware of our demands for a
long time There has been no recent
change in the situation and no further
pressure has been brought to bear which
might cause this question to become
more acute.

Mrs. Fiske and Her Company
Score In "RosmershoIm."
ARLIss, MELLIsH AND M'REA.

Her Three Able Assistants Give Pleas
ing Characterization In Gloomy
Tragedy of Domestic Life--Something
About the Story of the Play.
[From Our New York Dramatic Core
spondent.l
Mrs. Fiske and notably strong COM
pany have scored a brilliant success in
Ibsens "Rosmersholm" at the Lyric
theater.
The grim tragedy of domestic life
was never played better-in fact, never
SO well before.
When the play begins, this one, in
the ordinarily accepted sense, is al
ready half over. Beata, the wife of
John Rosmer, impelled by the force Of
Rebecca Vests indomitable will and
Rebecca's influence over Beata's hus-
band, has already gone to her death
In the mill race, Rosmer is in the throes
of mental revolution, and Rebecca
herself has come to the point where
| she must once for all demonstrate the
completeness of her theories of cman-
! cipation. But. though Rebecca has
| been strong in pursuit of the freedom
| which she claimed, she has compro-
missed her powers by allowing personal
/ interest to take the preceslence in the
conduct of her life.
! If one studies the political conditions
| Ibsen confronted at the time the play
! was written. the purpose does not then
seem vague. Each of the parties fight
ing for the preservation of it's OWL
ideals was unwilling to concede any
| virtue to the other; each was out
/ spoken so far-and so far only-as sell
interest would permit
Il Peter Mortensgard has excellent uses
for the pastor who has reformed, fol
the adherence of the true Christian
will be of infinite value to the cause
But Mortensgard is a cautious man
and he must forbear from mentioning
how far Rosmer's change has gone
Uric Brendel has had the courage Il
live his life, but it has been life O
self indulgence, and the end finds hin
wrecked along with all the others.
Rosmer himself is mental ant
moral parasite, incapable of individual
action, victim of vacillation, veri
table moral mugwump to the end o
the chapter He had been putty in tn
! hands OF Mortensgard until Rebecci
came; he is putty in her hand as loni
as she has a mind to use her will

TAFT EXPECTS
EASY VICTORY
REPUBLICAN PRIMARIES IN OHIO
TO BE HELD TUESDAY WILL BE
FIRST sKIRMIsH IN BATTLE
FOR PRESIDENCY

COLUMBUS, o.. Feb. 10.-Pop /
lar primaries will be held by the re-
publicsns in practically all OF the IS
counties of Ohio tomorrow for the
selection of delegates and alternates
to the state convention. The conven-
ton will be held early next month,
and 1t will select, in addition to four
delegates-at-large to the republican
national convention, candidates for
governor and other state officers.
The primary will be in reality the
first skirmish Of consequence in the
presidential battle of 1908. The
result will show in unmistakable
figures whether Taft or Foraker IS
10 control the Ohio delegation to the
Chicago convention The fight was
launched when the republican state
committee issued the call for the pri-
maries and convention. The pri-
mary plan was the idea of Taft sup
porters, and it was adopted in the
face of bitter opposition from the
Foraker element The Foraker peo-
pie met a second defeat when they
attempted to block the primaries
through court proceedings.
The Taft campaign managers are
not worrying over the outcome of
the primaries They are confident
that the result will be an over
whelming victory for the secretary
of war and feel assured the election
of four Taft men as delegates-at-
large to the national convention in
Chicago next June.
The Foraker people are practically
ready to acknowledge themselves
beaten on the delegates-at-Iarge but
they profess to expect to pick up
many district delegates. some of their
estimates amounting to as high as
half the delegation.
The vote of the counties tomor-
row, however, viii make it a very
easy matter to reckon the relative
strength of the two leaders as re-
CARDS the district delegates as we'll
as the delegates to the state eonven

come to him from a source outside OF
himself, and until Rebecca makes her
confession he has not had an idea of
his own passion.
Apply these figures to contempora-
ries in political ideaIism and what
passes for it and see the result. Then
remember that Ibsen was stirred by
the life about him when he wrote the
play and judge whether 1t is such
piffle as some persons would maintain.
Viewed merely as a theatrical exper-
iment the production of "Rosmer-
sholm" at the Lyric would be worth
while If for nothing more than the
example which 1t provides of what
may result when the acting is intrust-
ed to a whole company of artists.
Mrs. Fiske's Rebecca West, as was
expected, is an interesting perform
ance. The scene of Rebecca's confess
sion is vibrant with an expression of
tremendous pent-up feeling, and there
Is throughout a sense of the character
felt and understood. Mr.. Arliss is per-
haps a trife more fioridly theatrical
than is necessary In his first scene,
but he is tremendously effective, and
Mr.. Bruning could not be bettered.
Mr.. Mellish plays with fine skill and
integrity of purpose. Bruce McRae.

thy representation of a play that calls

B. Gruenenfelder also lost his case

During the term the grand Jury re-

Two of these were for grand larceny
in the second degree and specifically
charged Julius Hallick and Arthur
Stengel with stealing chickens at night
time from the hencoop of J. j. Green.
Both boys pleaded guilty, and after a
plea for leniency by Attorney Eckstein,
who represented both of the accused,
Judge Olsen fined each of them $50 and
costs, amounting in all to $65, in de-
fault of the payment of which they were
to go to Jail for 40 days. Stengel's
fine was paid, but Hallick had no
other recourse than to accept the jail
sentence.

ger to these parts and man not with

to the charge and even went SO far as
to demur to the Indictment on the
ground that the theft from each room
should have been alleged as a sepa-
rate offense. Judge Olsen overruled
this demurrer and the case went to
trial yesterday with County Attorney
Erickson appearing for the prosecu-
ton and Jos. A. Eckstein for the,
defense.
The other two ''true bills" were also
for larceny and in both of them George
Sweet was the party accused. In one
of them he was charged with appropri
ating an overceat belonging to Max
Reinhart; in the other it is alleged
that he collected $40 for a sewing ma
chine and failed to turn over the
money to the county agent for whom
he was working. A demurrer was Of
fered by Attorney Eckstein to the lat
ter indictment on the ground that it
did not allege clearly the ownership Of
the property stolen, and Judge Olsen
sustained the demurrer. Sweets trial
on the other charge will probably take
place today.
