TENSION IS BROKEN
WORE PACIFIC TURN IN FRANCO
. GERMAN SITUATION.
Accepts Invitation to Send Delegates
to International Conference for Con
3lderatlon of Moroccan Affairs Ami
cable Adjustment Near at Hand.
TarlH, Juno 20. An International
;nferonco for tho consideration of tlio
affairs of Morocco Is now practically
-.insured as the result of the conversa
tion between Premier Rouvlor and
I'rinco Ilailolln, the German ainbas
.widor, and attention is now directed
to defining tliu scope of tho confer
ence. Details are bolus rapidly ar
ranged and the olllclals expect to ho
aible to announce tlio plans for the
conference In tho course of four or
Ave days. This result, after the se
vere strain which tested the diplomat
ic resources of both governments, has
the effect or relieving tho tension, tho
olllclals of tho foreign otllco and tho
diplomats of tho German embassy
agreeing that an amicable adjustment
is near at hand.
Although tho acceptance of the con
ference gives a certain measuro of
success to German diplomacy, yet M.
Itouvlor emerges from tho controversy
tvith tho advantage of having brought
Ormnny to exactly define tho scope
of the conference and so to rid It of
tho objection to being 'a menace to
French Interests.
With both governments favorablo
to tho soveieignty of Morocco and to
her pollticnl status quo it remains for
the conference to adjust the equality
of commercial rights, ns Germany de
sires this assurance from an interna
tional conference instead or through
tho operations of tiie Anglo-French
agreement. Therefore the conferonco
is not likely to consider changes In
the political status of Morocco, but
rather International reforms and com
mercial privileges.
A dispatch from Mctz says that tho
Sixteenth German army corps Is
.showing less nctivity than the Twen
tieth and Sixth French army corps, as
the Sixteenth German army corps has
been continually on a war footing and
is prepared for Immediate moblllza
.tlon. The dispatch says that the In
spection of troops has been nctlvo on
Loth hides. However, this activity has
been less marked recently ns all eyes
have boon turned toward Paris in tho
expectation of a favorable result of
the diplomatic negotiations.
