KAISER CALLED T|M|D
BY PAN-GERMAN POST
Named "VaIOrOuS POItrOon" for
Reaching Agreement with
France as to Morocco.
BOTH SIDES DISSATISFIED
Nature of Settlement Not An
nounced, but Known to In
volve Considerable Trading
of Colonial Possessions.

Berlin. Aug. 4.-The prospect OF a
speedy settlement Of the Moroccan ques-
ton between Germany and France is
welcomed on every hand. but the terms
Of the agreement, when they become
known, probably will cause considera-
bic dissatisfaction in various quarters
IN both Germany and France The nego-
tiations between Jules Cambon, the
French Ambassador in Berlin. and Baron
Won Kiderlen- Wachter, the German For
eign Secretary, have been most difficult,
and the French people even yet are not
quite so optimistic as are the Germans
over the final outcome.
The nature Of the settlement could not
be learned except that it involves a con-
siderable trading Of colonial possessions,
and so transfers the centre Of interest
from the Foreign TO the Colonial office
II is understood that Russia played the
part Of common friend and interposed
in London and Paris 10 take the rough
edges off British diplomacy, the chal-
lenging tone Of which for a time was
more threatening TO peace than the ac-
tual subject Of the negotiations.
Details still remain to be arranged,
and il is recognized generally that some
OF these are most important. Both Ger
many and France have been compelled
10 concede number OF weighty points,
because neither was prepared TO press
matters too far. Baron Won Kiderlen-
Waechter is thoroughly wearied OF the
whole negotiation. principally because he
has not secured the fuflment Of his de-
sires. and even the French diplomats are
prepared for an outburst of storm of
Indignation among patriots on both sides
Of the frontier
The first indications Of indignation al
ready have appeared in the "Pan-Ger-
man Post" and the "Zukunft." the latter
the organ OF Maximilien Harden. The
editorial Of the -Pan-German Post" to-
day not only attacks the Foreign Minis
ter, Baron Won Kiderlen Waechter, and
the Imperial Chancellor, DR.. Won Beth
mann Hollweg, and demands their retire
ment from office hut makes a terrific
onslaught upon the Kaiser, asking. What
has happened 20 the Hohenzollerns? II
also calls the Emperor the strongest sup
port Of the Anglo-French policy, and
continues:
We will not yet believe what English
and French newspapers have said for
weeks. namely. Wait until your En-
peror returns and then the retreat will
be sounded and Germany will cede.'"
The Pan German Post" concludes by
calling the Emperor William the Tim
Sd" and the valorous poltroon."
Herr Harden. in the ''Zukunft," also
attacks his majesty severely, naming
him William the Peaceful"
The Emperor had planned 20 join the
Empress Auguste Victoria at Wilhelms-
h0he TO-DAY. but went instead 10 Pots
dam. Tomorrow ne will confer with
Dr. Won Bethmann- Hollweg and Baron
yon Kiderlen- Waechter.
10 is officially stated that the trip to
Wuhelmshohe was postponed because of
the illness Of the Empress Presumably
this is on account Of the danger Of in
fection.
The illness Of her majesty. which was
81 first described as a heart attack. has
resulted in a feverish Inflammation of
the tonsils. II is not considered danger
Gus. but the Empress is confined to her
room. and her physicians have ordered
perfect quiet for her.
Paris Aug 4.-Accord!ng 20 a statement
issued tonight. the Franco-German situa-
ton over Morocco shows a tendency 10
aneliorate. Germany having ceased to con-
slder her original propositions as beyond
modification. II is certain that relaxa-
tion in the situation has resulted.
Nevertheless. 1t cannot be disguised that
3 considerable margin still remains be-
tween Germany's pretensons and the con-
cessons France is disposed 10 make. and
that while the turn taken by the negotla-
ti0ns evokes satisfaction, exaggerated op-
timism is out Of place until further inter
views between the French Ambassador N
Berlin and the German Foreign Secretary
result in 81 complete agreement.
