SCORE GERMAN CHANCELLOR
Pan-Gerslans Lead in the Attack on
Won Kiderlen- Waeohter.
WANTED A SLICE OF MOROCCO
Agreement with France Has Not
Satisfied Any OF the Political
Groups at Home and All De
nouncc ISntscr's Adviser.

BERLIN. oct. lathe decision Of the
CHIEF points OF the Moroccan controversy
has brought with Il fresh crisis In the
shape OF a many-slded attack on the
German ministry. and more especially on
tho foreign secretary. Herr Won Klderlen-
Waeohter The agreement with France
seems to have dissatisfied all quarters
The Pan-Germans are bitterly disap-
pointed because Germany has not OBJ
tanned a share OF Morocco, even had II
been at the price Of war; the national
liberals and conservatives, because Ger
man policy IN their opinion has been too
concillat1ry: the socialists. because the
country has from their point Of view been
led perliousiy near 10 war over a matter
which was not worth the risk. The non
partisan press Is adding 10 the cutlery by
condenning loudly the mystery which
surrounded the negotiations from begin
ming TO end.
How Herr Won Kiderien- Waoehter viii
extricate himself from his unpleasant att
uation remains TO be seen II IL certain
that he win be the subject OF fierce at
lacks on the meeting Of the Reichstag.
and his resignation may be demanded.
Big Navigation Project.
One OF the most important engineering
undertakings now engaging attention IN
Germany Is a plan 20 make the Rhine
navigable from Basle. Switzerland, 20
Lake Constance. Three south German
states and Switzerland are interesting
themselves in the matter. While Il has
not yet been definitely decided 20 carry
out the scheme. three companies now
building dams for power purposes on the
stream have been ordered TO put IN locks
Ct At least 90 feet length 10 accommodate
tbs large harges that are expected 70 ply
on tho stream. The most difficult TECH
nical problem IN the way OF carrying OUT
tho schcmo Is 20 overcome the rise OF
about eighty feet at the Falls OF the
Rhine al schaffhausen. Here Il Is pro-
posed either 10 build two locks OF about
forty feet rise each. or 70 put In a ship
elevator. similar TO the one already In
use az Hinrichenburg, on the Dortmund-
Ems canal, where barges are run into
huge tanks. and these then lifted by
hydraulic pressure 20 the level OF the
higher stretch OF the canal
some Difficult Problems.
Another difficult point 10 At Laufen-
burg. some fifteen or twenty miles east
Of Basic. where the river rushes through
a gorge and has fall OF about forty
five feet: and the water here Is three
times the volume at schaffhausen. A
dam IN already building here and will
be completed in few years, developing
about 5000 horsepower.
A number Of other power plants OF
smaller proportions will he built at va
rious points along the stream to over
come rapids finally q very large one
will be built some ten miles below Basic
by the Alsatlan manufacturing city Of
Muhihauaen. Manufacturing towns win
spring up. Il Is believed. on both the
German and Swiss sides OF the river.
The total cost Of the undertaking II
estimated at about uo.oOo.ooo. apparently.
not including dams now building. OF
this sum the three German states OF
Baden. wirttemburg and Bavaria are 10

Austria. si,ico.Ooo.
New Torpedo Net.
The Navy department has succeeded In
improving the torpedo net for the pro-
lection OF warshlps 10 such an extent
that all the newer vessels are 10 be pro-
vided with It as soon as possible.
Hitherto few ships have peen protected
In this way, as Il had been found that
speed was diminished by the attainment
OF nets and also that the old style Of
net was not available at all while the
weasel was under way. A recent inven-
ton made by a naval otfscer whose inn
provement has been kept secret, has
overcome these difficulties and permits
the vessels TO steam at undiminished
speed while the net IL fully spread
