Berlin, Nov. 5.-The viewpoint Of
Germany in the Casablanca difficulty
is explained officially by the foreign
Office this morning. "All we demand"
said an official, "is simple expression
of regret from France for violence en-
ployed against German consular off,
cials at Casablanca. Unless this Is
forthcoming. there would be no object
in conducting further negotiations. We
cannot permit this point to be submit
ted to arbitration, for We regard it as
a point of national honor that such re.
gret should be expressed"
Paris Is Not Worried.
Paris, Nov. 5-While it is not be-

quietude exists here and the opinion
continues to be held Germany is seek.
ing to inf1ict diplomatic humiliation
upon France.
Cabinet Stands Firm.
An extraordinary session of the cab.
met was held this afternoon and a de
cision not to accede to the German de.

the same time it was agreed France
should show its conciliatory disposi
tion by offering mode of egress from
the present deadlock that should be
honorable to both countries.

WON BUELOW MUST EXPLAIN
Members Of Reichstae Vote to Inter
peIlate German ChanceIIor.

Berlin, Nov. 5.-The reichstag re-
assembled yesterday afternoon. Long
before the designated hour the men,
bers gathered in the lobbies and the
committee rooms and discussed the
position of Chancellor Won Buelow
arising from the publication in Lon
don last week of the interview be-
tween Emperor William and an 'un-
official Englishman."
Neither the chancellor nor any min
lister appeared at yesterdays session
and the house faced row of empty
ministerial seats.
Four interpretations were moved
asking the chancellor to explain the
imperial interview. Two were by so
cialists, one by radical and another
by conservative. The house carried
by large majority a resolution tc
postpone discussion of these interpret
lations to another sitting. The i'm
preston is that Prince Won Buelow
will be supported by a majority in the
house.

SOUTH DAKOTADIVORCE MILL KNOCKED

Another provision requires that all
divorce cases shall be heard at reg
ular term of court. This will wipe out
the practice of hearing divorce cases
"in chambers" during court terms as
we'll as in the intervals between terms.
The secrecy which has enabled ap-
plicants to secure divorces without the
general public becoming aware of the
fact, brought the law into disfavor, and
is believed to be one cause of the
eagerness of the voters to decrease
the floating population Of the state.
The new law is to take effect imme-
diately after the state canvassins
