Counter Proposals by Ger
many DispIease Officials.
DEMAND FOR EVERY CLAIM
Kaiser's Government Also Wants
Free Hand in Morocco.
NOT LIKELY TO BE ACCEPTED
Note Will Be Referred to Specialists
and Later Laid Before French
Cabinet for Decision.

Germanys reply to the proposals submit
ted by France with the idea OF reaching
an agreement regarding the Moroccan
problem has affected French government
circles unpleasantly.
Germany's counter proposals were re-
ceived In Paris Saturday night. and after
being submitted to lengthy examination
on the part OF Premier Caillaux and
Foreisn Minister de Selves It was decided
to refer the proposals to specialists on
Moroccan questions When the specialists
have formed an opinion the premier will
call a meeting of the cabinet and lay be-
fore it the whole matter for decision.
Germany asks. It appears. that every
claim OF German subjects to concessions
in Morocco shall be recognized by France.
and that no new enterprise shall be start
ed under the French protectorate without
being internationalized equally.
Some Claims Are Enormous.
The claims OF German subjects. particu-
larly those Of Mannesmann Bros. and
speculative companies organized by them.
are enormous.
The German terms also ask for a
free hand in Morocco with conditions
that would. according to the French
view. deprive France Of all her ad-
vantages. and would give Germany
privileges in Morocco beyond those Of
any power. even France.
There seems no Likelihood of the
French government accepting the Ger
man counter proposals.
A temporary way out OF the difficulty
may be that some other signatory of
the Algeciras act will ask for another
International conference.
Germany Seeks Privileges.
A semi Official note issued today
says that Minister de Selves has ex-
amined the observations presented by
the German government in reply to
the French proposals. and that he
probably will take a favorable view OF
the suggestions contained therein for
establishing the economic equality OF
the powers In Morocco. but that in op-
position to this international economic
equality are privileges desired by Ger
many alone. Other points. the note
says. are raised by the German re-
sponse which are equally serious
The negotiations between France and
Germany, the note says, in conclusion,
probably will be prolonged for some time.
French Finance Unaffected.
Although the tone Of the Paris bourse
vas heavy today, the solid structure of
French finance was little affected by
financial embarrassments in Germany. for
the reason that the French buy securities
for permanent investment and do not
sell them because of fluctuation in QUO
tations. The worst effect Of the Moroc-
can uncertainties is upon business which
simply waits day by day to see what
will happen. French houses have can
eeled many buying orders In Germany
and the French banks. as previously in
iicated, refuse to renew the German
loans falling due
Credit likewise is cut of from Berlin in
London. The Societe Generate, one Of
the most important of the French banks
mas refused to renew a loan Of 10000
francs approximately 81, 1000, made
to the Deutsche Bank.
II was NJ. Dorizon, manager Of the
Societe Generate. who was utilized by the
French embassy in Berlin to bring Ger
many's answer to Frances proposals con-
cerning Morocco to the French foreign
Friday.
Pan-German League Firm.
BERLIN, September 11.-At the annual
convention of the Pan-German League,
in session here yesterday. resolutions
were unanimously passed protesting
against the withdrawal Of Germany from
her political position in Morocco and
against her acceptance OF territorial in
demnity in the French Kongo.
The German imperial chancellor was
asked TO break or negotiations with
France relative to Morocco rather than
settle the dispute on that basis. The
speech OF the chairman of the congress
was TO the effect that the acquisition by
Germany of western Morocco corresponds
with the wishes of the German people.
Another resolution adopted demanded
the speedier building Of warships.
Bourse Quiet Today.
BERLIN. September 1l.-Saturday'.
bourse panic seems 10 have passed a:
quickly as it arose. The market toda,
presented completely changed appear
ance. Heavy buying orders came in from
the provinces and from the outside pub
tic generally. The utterances Of the Ger
man foreign minister. Herr Won Kiderlen
Franco-German negotiations relative Il
Morocco. which We're printed here Sat
i.rday evening. had a reassuring effec
on the public.
The market also was improved by tn,
publication of the Prussian grain esti

the first estimates published seyera
months ago. This caused heavy fall II

Cheaper money also assisted in the re

Holland Prepares for Worst.
THE HAGUE. Netherlands, September

arising from the prolonged Franco-Ger-
man negotiations over Morocco, the

The Dutch fortiications along the Ger.
man frontier have been occupied by
