the German foreign office will lead to
general discussion of the Moroccan sit

powers and through which discussion the
question will be definitely settled.
Otherwise the Germans will remain In
Morocco until the Franco-Spanish expe-
ditions have been withdrawn. general
European conference is not expected.
Germany Wants Share.
Germany, In sending the Panther to
Agadir. and stalking a claim in southern
Morocco in anticipation Of the possible
partition Of the country. according to the
general Interpretation of the German
press, will take it's share in the province
OF Sus, with its rich copper and mineral
deposits, Its great agricultural poSsl bill
ties. and its eQuable climate, in which
whites can live and work, unless France
venture. and really respect the integrity
of Morocco
This is confirmed by the semi-official
statement which appears in the Cologne
Gazette, pointing out that France and
Spain, under assurances of purely tenn
porary and benevolent action, both landed
troops and occupied territory in violation
of the Algeciras act. Germany, says the
statement, is justified in taking steps to
protect her interests. She has no inten-

but will not leave that town before
regular conditions are restored in
Morocco
This phrase evidently means until the
retirement Of the Franci-Spanish eXpe
ditions.
In Caillaux's Hands.
PARIS, July 3.-Foreign Minister De
Selves did not remain in Paris today,
but accompanied President Fallieres to
Holland. Yesterday it was announced
that NJ. De Selves had changed his
plans, and would stay here as a con-
sequence OF the new situation brought
about in Morot co by the determination
of Germany to send gunboat to
Agadir.
Premier Caillaux has taken over the
conduct of the foreign Office pending
Nj. De Selves return, and will direct
Frances attitude concerning German
Intervention in Morocco. AS France
was merely notified of the fact ac
complished, namely, that German
warship had been dispatched to Agadir,
it is possible that this government will
not send a reply to Berlin, but. like
Germany. will decide upon course or
action and then adopt it.

British Criticise Germans.
LONDON. July 3.-Germany's inter
vention In Morocco is the subject of con-
siderable comment, mostly disparasing.
concerning that country's action. The
Standard says: "Bismarckian tactics still
prevail in wilhelmstrasse. No oppor-
tunity is lost in taking political rival at
a disadvantage. The desire, which has
been growing so fast among us lately,
to be on better terms with Germany
will suffer q serious setback"
The Morning Post says: Germany has
torn I'D the act Of Algeciras This was
done absolutely without consultation OF
discussion with the other powers. Ger
many's Interpretation Is now made plain.
The question only Is how France and
England will regard 1t. The peace of
Europe, we suspect, will not De dis

The Daily Graphic says: I'VE warned
our French friends that they were de-
luding themselves. and that if they de-

Germany precipitates a situation which
is far greater than that preceding Alge-
