GERMAN ANSWER
STIRS FRENCH
COUNTER PROPOSAL IN MoRoc
CAN AFFAIR WILL NOT MEET
APPROVAL or FRANCE.

Paris, Sept 1.-THE nature Of Ger
many's reply to the proposals sub
mitted by France with the idea of
reaching an agreement regarding the
Moroccan problem has affected French
government councils unpleasantly.
Germany's counter proposals We're
received in Paris Saturday night, and
after being submitted to examination
on the part of Premier Caillaux and
Foreign Minister De Selves 1t was de-
cided to refer the proposal to special
lists on Moroccan questions.
Germany asks, it appears, that every
claim of German subjects to 'conces-
sions in Morocco shall be recognized
by France, and that no new enter.
prise shall be started under the
French protectorate without being in
ternationalized equally.
The German terms also ask for q
free hand in Morocco with conditions
which, according to the French view
deprive France of all her advantages
and would give Germany privileges In
Morocco beyond those of any power
even France.
There seems no likelihood Of the
French government accepting the
German counter proposals.
Pan-Germans Seek Trouble.
Berlin, Sept. 11.-At the annual con.
vention Of the Pan-Germap league In

were unanimously passed protesting
against the withdrawal Of Germany
from her political position in Morocco
and against her acceptance OF territor-
ial indemnity in the French Congo.
The German imperial chancellor was
asked to break of negotiations with
France relative TO Morocco rather
than settle the dispute on that basis.

CONVICT LABOR is
USEFUL ASSET FOR
ROAD MAKING USES
Wyoming and Colorado Plans
for Dealing With Difficult
Problem.

Edgemont, S. D., Aug. 1.-Peniten-
tiary officials of the states OF the
northwest and elsewhere in the United
States, who have not as yet found m
ployment for the convicts of their
states, will be interested in the result
Of an investigation which has just been
made by the authorities OF wyoming
with reference to the employment or
convicts in the work OF good a
building throughout the states IN
which they are serving terms. y
The state of Wyoming has a large
number OF Idle convicts, and for some
time how to employ them has been a
matter of serious consideration on the
part Of those in charge Of them. X. b.
Forsyth, state auditor, and d. A. Pres
ton, attorney general, have made a
careful investigation OF h Colorado
system Of employing convicts In ROAD
building, and have recommended thar
laws be enacted SO the same system
can be adopted in Wyoming. ,
I Under the laws of Colorado conVtctS
serving time in the penitentiary or
that state are taken therefrom and
worked upon the public highways IN
what are termed gangs averaging
about 80 men each. Each gang is UNI
der the control of three men, employees
of the penitentiary-two overseers and
q Waterman. The two overseers have
charge Of the convicts during he day,
and the Waterman is on duty at night.
) Camps are maintained, these being
provided with tents, bedding n CONS
missary. A place or places OF contre-
ment are not found to be necessary.
The food furnished the convtcts en-
gagged In road building Is Of q larger
variety. and much moro to the liking.
of a hungry man than that furnished
at the p~enitentfary. No firearms are
permitted In or about the camps. The
men assigned to perform labor upon
the highways are carefully selected,
and those who are residents Of the
state at the time Of their conviction,
who have kindred ties and interests
in the state, are found to be more
faithful and less trouble to the officers.
Rules and regulations adopted for
the control of the road camps are
strictly enforced, while faithful observ-
ance thereof is suitably rewarded as
an encouragement to the conVlctS not
to cause unnecessary trouble.
Under the law referred to the plan
is to have the counties, cities or towns
on which the road work is being done
to furnish tools, maintenance OF con-
yicts and pay fC- the oVerseers and
Waterman, this expense to the coun-
ties, cities and towns which have eG-
perimented with convict labor upon the
streets and highways having thus far
been less than so cents per day per
man.
