to-day regarding the new agreement said:

eliminating evidence that the equilibrium OF Eu-

as possible for lang time
The agreement points out that the sisnatorleS a

Germany whose interest in Morocco is merely
economic, recognizes that the particular poiitlcai
interests Of France are closely linked 10 the consol-
idation of order and peace IN the interior OF MO-

A coincidence IL found IN the fact that this agree

Berlin Of King Edward, particularly as there Is a
strong inclination in diplomatic quarters 70 con-
slider the Improvement Of Franco German relations
As one OF the objects Of this visit The moral ef-
feet Of establishing broad basis OF friendly rea-
tions between two nations is regarded mere as OF
greater value thar the convention itself.
It Is stated that a German-Spanish agreement
relative to Morocco the text Of which Is Identical
with that Of the Franco-German agreement will be
signed in a few days.
