MOROCCAN ROW
LOOKS WARLIKE
Germany and France Cannot
Get Together and All Europe
Expects Trouble
Bv Cable to Tho Dally Gateway.
London. Feb. 1‘2 Telegraphic news
to all Continental capitals from Alge-j
ciras indicates that a feeling of unrest
pervades the Moroccan conference, ami
that a rupture is extremely probable.
France is hanging hack from the de
mands made by German' and it seems j
likely that the French representatives i
will refuse to consider German require
ments any further.
Germany Demands Police /ones
l*aris. Fob. 12 An official note re-1
ivived from Germany demands that the j
jH'lice of Morocco l*e regulated by a
zone system under various European i
powers. This has caused no little ox-1
citement in administrative circles. ;
The French government will not con-j
cede this but will insist that the Mo-,
roccan conference concede the special
rights of France in Morocco.
Statist Predicts Moroccan War
London, Feh. 12 Tin* Statist, the
leading financial weekly publication of
Great Britain, predicts the failure of
the Moroccan conference and war be
t ween France and Morocco as a conse
quence.
Say Conference Must tnd tuss
Algeciras. Spain. Feb. U The Get--;
man delegates at the Moroccan con
ference today notified the representa
tives of other nations that Germany ;
expects tlu* conference to settle the*
issues involved and will protest
against adjournment with any ques
tion left open. At the same time the
Germans are standing stubbornly by
their demand for the establishment of
police zones in Morocco, in charge ofj
different nations.
As France will not concede the de
mand of Germany for a partition of
the police powers in Morocco and
Great Britain is believed to 1m* hack of
France the chances for an amicable
settlement are not bright and the rep
resentatives of all the powers are
uneasy.
