action IN Morocco, made IN speech before
Lombard street financiers last evening. is
taken 10 mean that the British government
remains faithful 10 the Anglo-French en-
tente and will be found IT Frances back
throughout the present negotiations.
The pronouncement will, Il s thought in
diplomatic circles. place matters on more
businesslike basis and go far toward In
surfing a fair deal 70 all concerned. IL Is no
secret that the government took into con-
sjderstion the advisabilitY OF sending
warship to Agadir 81 the time Of the Ger
man sunooat Panther's unheralded appear
ance on the scene, and although action was
POSTPONED. the possibility Of the necessity
Of some such course was not lost from
sight.
Some of the more pregnant sentences 81
Mr.. LLOYD Georges Mansion House speech
are as follows:
''B,rt am bound 70 say that II Is essen

ourselves but Of the world that Great

nj, 1rrv c2.-Mr Lloyd Georges
,,a,e,on House speech is wi9eiy ana
commented upon TO-DAY
I. hits the nall on the head here De-
le,,e. - ovpresses exactly the popular
t7ronch feeling in regard 10 tn" German
demands.
nrin,or is now crystallized into the
definite shape that war would be prefer
able TO a humiliating compliance with al
that Germany claims as COMPENSATION
in Africa.
Confidence nevertheless prevails that
ofter a long summer 81 tedious negotia-
tons n peaceful solution viii be reached
without the necessity even OF putting
into motion the machinery ot tho Hague
tribunal.
In diplomatic circles the impression Is
Gaining ground that German diplomacy
vii, greatly modify it's demands. except
perhaps in regard to its pretensions to
s4auort on the northwest coast OF
Africa, on which point Germany seems
lnhexibie.
II is certain that the methods adopted
BY Baron Won Kiderlen- have
so Keenly wounded French sentiment
and amour propre that there is no longer
any hope Of France and Germany be-
coming friends although 1t may be
agreeable and useful FOX France TO be on
terms Of good neishborship with Ger
many in Europe and Africa.
Berlin, July p The speech o. David
Lloyd George, the Britieh Chancellor Of
the Exchequer, could not possibly have
been aimed az Germany, according to the
reassuring views voiced to-day by the Of
feals Of the German Foreign Once. These
officials we're unwilling 10 believe that
the minister referred In any way 10
the Moroccan situation. II was stated that
the negotiations with france we're proceed
ing normally, with prospect Of success,
ard that there was no reason for Great
Britain, which since the beginning OF the
negotiations has stood aside, TO cause
Franco-Gerrnan relations 20 abandon a
waiting attitude and strike a belligerent
tone
Some preliminary intinauens through
diplomatic channels would have been made
II the speech. as the English paperG assert
vas intended as q warning 10 Germany
None such was received.
German officials however. do not suggest
any other explanation OF the speech. They
have no information as TO whether Great
Britain. as demanded by THE London
Times" Will send a warship 10 Agadir
The usual spokesman for the Foreign Of
fee does not believe in this possibility, and
said that such move would be regarded
by Germany as an untnendly act. The
German gLabot Pantner, the sunboat
Eper ard the cruiser Berlin remain In the
vicinity OF Agadir.
The afternoon papers were not excited
over tia Logo George sDeecn, and devoted
their attention chiefly 10 the Franco
spanish incident at Alcaaar The .Lokal
Anzeiser" as.s IN d headline Fer WHOM
the Threat" The "Berliner Ntt7g Lei-
tung'' completely Ignores the matter.
