Await Germany's Statement

Public opinion as voiced by the Frdench newspaper does not appear in- clined to be alarmist in the belief that 1t will be necessary to await calmly and cooly more precise statement from Germe ny.
 The reply of Foreign Minister De Selves to Ambassador Non Schoen as reported by the Temps Is generally considered as expressing effectively the sentiments of the French public. Ac- cordng to the Temps NJ De Selves de- ciared he could not conceal the sur- prise and regret which che action ot Germany had caused him.
 Without exaggerating the gravity of affairs. he pointed out that the manner chosen by the imperial government 10 manifest its anxiety for German in- terests in Morocco was 1ikely to seem strange to French opinion.
 The Temps does not believe that Mo- rocco will ever again serve as fire brand for European discord and is of the opin- ion that the whole affair will be ended by negotiations.

Disparaging Comment

London July 2-Germans intervention in Morocco is the subject of considerable comment, mostly dlsparaging concerning that coun.rys action.
 The Standard says:
 "Bismarckian tactics still prevail in Wilhelm Strasse. No opportunity is lost in taking a political rival at disadvantage The desire, which has been growing so fast among us lately to be on better terms with Germany, will suffer a serious setback"
 The Morning Post says:
 "Germany has torn up the act of Algecerias This was done absolutely without consultation or discussion with the other powers. Germany's interpre- tation Is now made plain. The ques- ton only is how France and England will regard it. The peace of Europe, we suspect, will not be disturbed Grave Situation | The Daily Graphic says: we warned the French friends that they were deluding themselves and that if they delayed conversation with Ber- lin A curious crisis was inevitable. The action of Germany precipitates sit uation which is far grayer than that preceding Algecerias."
 The Daily Chronicle says the situa- ton in Morocco will not be improved by the action of Germany. With French troops in the center, Spanish troops in the north and a German warship in the chief southern port, the situation may develop in a very ugly way. To prevent this the Chronicle says self restraint on all sides will be neces. sary
 Berlin, July 2-Germany In sending tho gunboat Panther to Agadir and stalking a claim in southern Morocco in anticipa- tion of the possible partition of the coun- try. according to the general execution of the German press. will take it's share in the province of Sus with its rich copper and mineral deposits, it's great agricul- tural possibilities and it's equable climate. in which. whites can live and work unless France and Spain withdraw from the present adventure and really respect the integrity of Morocco.
 This is confirmed by the sem-official statement which appears in the Cologne Gazette. pointing out that France and Spain, under assurances of purely tenn porary and benevolent assimilation, both landed troops and occupied territory. in violation of the Algeciras act. Germany. says the statement. is justified in talk ing steps to protect her interests. She has no intention of remaining permanent ly in Agadir. but will not leave that town before regular conditions are restored in Morocco.

Satisfied in Spain

Madrid. July 2.-Germany's action in Morocco is viewed with satisfaction by IA majority of the Spanish newspapers. All concur in believing that Great Britain must and will pronounce the last word and that Spain can only await develop ments in calm confidence.
 The semi-offical Diaro Universal con siders the landing of Germans at Agadir will cause prejudice on the part of Great Britain more than any power and fore sees that the Moroccan problem will be- come more entangled and the situation for the signers of the Algeeiras act more difficult
 Spanish opinion. adds the paper views Germany's action not because it is be- lieved the entrance of third power into the question will tighten Spain's diplo- matic horizon, but because the German confirms the duty of the powers having interests and subjects in Maracca-that they should defeud both. However the Diaro Universal doubts that Great Britain will take this view. Ger many it eoncludSs. does not constitute the only new facvr in Morocco; another not Jess powerful and infuentiai looms up-<.reat Britain.

La TOILETTE ASKS
LORIMER RE-PROBE
PRESENTS RESOLUTION FOR A
NEW INVESTIGATION BY
u. S. SENATE.
POINTS TO NEW TESTIMONY
Recent Developments in Hearing Be-
fore Illinois Legislature Cited as
Cause for a Renewal of lnvestga'
ton in NtionaI Senate.

Washington.-Sen Robert M.
La Toilette, of Wisconsin, officially
reopened the Lorimer case in the
senate by offering a resolution to
name a committee to re-investigate
the election of William Lorimer to
the United States senate from Hi
nOis.
The resolution was introduced after
a long conference among the twelve
senate progressive Republicans The
question of issue was whether the
investigating committee should con-
sist wholly of new members of the
senate or whether it should have at
it's head either Senator Root of New
York of Borah of Idaho This prob
lem was solved in favor of five new
members, with the result that the
resolution named Senators John P.
Works of California, Charles E.
Townsend of Michigan, George P.
Mclean of Connecticut, John w.
Kern of Indiana and Atlee POmerene
of Ohio The first three are Repub-
licans and the last two Democrats.
The resolution points to recent de-
velopments in the investigation being
conducted by the Illinois state legis-
lature, stating, that witnesses who
were not called and sworn by the
committee of the United States SEN
ate appointed to investigate said
charges have appeared before the
committee of the Illinois state senate
int
given important material testimony
tending to prove that 100000 was
corruptly expended to secure the cleo
ton of William Lorimer to the
United States senate.
