PEACE PROMISED IN
BERLIN NEGOTIATIONS
German Newspapers Generally
Aqree That Moroccan Settle
ment Is Near.
NO GREAT DIFFERENCES
Cologne Gazette" Says Points
To Be Discussed Do Not
Possess Fundamental
Importance.

Berlin. Sept 1.-THE Berlin news
papers, commenting on the Moroccan
situation. generally agree that a settle
rnent is near but insist that every point
of the agreement must he clearly SGT
forth, so as to avoid future misunder-
standings.
That the negotiations are proceeding
more smoothly than at first is confirmed
officially by the "Norddeutsche Allge-
meme Zeitung," which says: Zone part
OF Frances reply meets the German
wishes, while another part has succeeded
in approximating the viewpoint of both
powers so far that with good will on
both sides an agreement will not he
difficult. Differences on several points
certainly exist, necessitating a further
and thorough study before q complete
understanding may be hoped for. How
ever. these also will be overcome"
THE Cologne Gazettes' semi official
Berlin dispatch says: THE points remain
ing for discussion do not possess funda-
mental Importance. Germany is con-
WINGED from Frances communication
. that the French earnestly desire to reach
a. serious and loyal agreement. As Ger
many is striving for similar result. the
prospects are that satisfactory under
standing entirely favorable to the Ger
man reply. will be arrived at as rapidly
as possible. so that negotiations on this
score will soon be settled. The compen-
sation question will scarcely encounter
special difficulties
1t is believed here that a satisfactory
arrangement on all points, with the eX-
Ception of the exact tracing Of the boun-
dairy of the French Congo cession to
Germany, will be reached before the
Reichstag meets.

Paris. Sept. 16.-It may to-day be ac-
cepted as certainty that there will be
no war between France and Germany.
The French answer TO the German coun-
ter propositions brings mutual agree
ment long step forward, so that the
technical arbitration.
This peaceful result is largely due TO
the firmness, to the calm. good natured
spirit of conciliation and at the same
time 10 the resolute attitude of France
during the whole period Of these long
drawn out Moroccan negotiations, also
because France is fully prepared for
war and because Berlin diplomacy ever
since the Agadir incident has not found
one solitary echo of approval in the pub
lie opinion of Europe outside OF Ger
many and Spain.
The severe tension that has prevailed
during the summer is responsible for a
great wave of popular irritation through
out France against Spain on account of
Spain's aggressive action in Morocco.
The trend OF feeling here is that Ger
many and Spain are united by some
mysterious secret treaty. Consequently
Spain, in the eyes of France, is hence

Ottawa, Sept. 1.-THE news which came
from Quebec to-day-that Sir Wilfrid Lau-
rier would be chosen by acclamation from
his old constituency, Quebec East, his OPP
ponent, r. Leduc, having withdrawn from
the lield--is I'm the nature OF personal
triumph for the Premier. In the thirty
three years that Sir Wilfrid has represent
ei Quebec East he has had contests III
eight general elections ana one bye-elec-
ton. being chosen by acclamation only
once before. at general election ten years
ago. and once at a bye-eiection, in 1896.
In these successive contests his MAORI
ties have constantly grown, beginning with
about 500 I'm 1873, until they reached 200 In
the last general election. There was no
doubt therefore, of his election next Thurs
day, but It Is tribute from the French
Canadian constituency that he has repre-
sented go long, that all opposition 10 MS
return has now been withdrawn.
Sir Wilfrid's prestige in Quebec is very
great. but has never been accompanied by
such evidence OF personal devotion as at
the present time. At the nomination meet
ing on Thursday, when he was again
named as the Liberal candidate, the oc-
casion was seized for an enthusiastic
demonstration. Il was agreed on all hands
that his reception among his own people
was the greatest OF his many political tri'
umphs. There was a similar demonstra-
ton for him at Soulsnges, where he was
also nominated.

The iady's little daughter put an or
ange in his coat pocket as he was leav-
Ing, and, il his unconventional, bohe-
milan way, Paderewski decided to eat
the orange on the walk back to his
hotel.
"As he crossed Rittenhouse Square
he began to peel the fruit But while
he was peeling 1t a woman he knew
glided past in her motor car Pade-
rewski saluted with sweeping bow,
then gracefully placed a handful of
orange peel on his head and tossed his
hat into bed of flowers"

He wasn't here. How could he"
Jethro said.

called to Henry.

cided, clucked to his horse and drove
on.

and the deal was closed.
That evening he turned over to
Sabina five hundred and sixty-three
dollars and fifty cents. telling her
what he had done.
1T wasn't honest, Jethro," she OBJ
jected. You've got to give it back
to Elijah"
Further discussion OF this ethicai
burst into the house angrily.
"You-you scoundrel!" he shouted,
shaking his fist at Jethro. You rob-
Der! You bunco man! There wasn't
a thing in those turkeys crops but
brass pool checks! You swindled me.
I'll have the law on you"
We'll, Elijah" Jethro smiled, cas-
lily. "Sabina and have just been talk
ing the matter over, and | agree with
Sabina that 1t wasn't quite fair to
make you take your own medicine.
Now. II you'll agree to be reasonable
and to take Sabina's turkeys for the
interest that is due you. I'll give you
back your money. And, OF course,
she'll have to have plenty OF time to
pay off the mortgage. because II peo-
pie found out about your turkey deal
they'd make so much fun of you"
'All right" Elijah snapped. But
how's she goin' to pay the principal?"
That" Jethro replied, dropping his
arm about Sabina's waist, rs some
thing I'll have to advise her about
when we are married"
AS the gate clicked after the de-
parting form of Elijah Green, Jethro
lifted Sabina's chin again. but before
kissing her he observed:
you ought to have had me as sales
manager long ago, Sabina."

There's only step
From rejoicing to sorrow.
Tomorrow we want
What today we rejected;
And tomorrow we miss
What today We expected.

To a gladder tomorrow.
The smiles and the tears

But there's turkey to eat

Jethro's sympathy led him on to
ether statements and remarks having

than she had been to Elijah. In fact
she was not even as responsive. She

I've got 1t, Sabina!" he exclaimed.
I've got the idea. Now, you let me

To this, after much persuasion, Sa-

Acting under Jethro's instructions,
Sabina did not sell turkey until a
