Will Maintain Her Policies in Morocco
Whether Germany Likes It Or Not--Re-bpens
Embroglio Once More
London, Kov. 27 Xotlce to ' . the
world thai England Is prepared to
maintain her present alliances and
policies whether Germany DTkes It or
not, was voiced In the house of com
mons tonight by Earl Grey, minister of
foreign affairs. He reiterated the de
fiance of Lloyd George recently to
Germany which set aftl Europe In fear
of immediate war.
London, Nov. 27. Sir Edward Grey
is making the long heralded speech in
liio uuuC Crx" ward
ing Morocco and admitted that the
French, English and German relations
are "still serious and delicate." The
address .was sensational. He practi
cally charged Germany with acting In
bad faith in the entire embrogllo. It
is feared that the speech will reopen
the breech between England end Ger
many. The galleries were Jammed. Grey
intimated that , Klnderlln-Waechter,
the German foreign minister, had not
disclosed the situation fully and
frankly. He said Germany's action in
sending a warship to Agadte, when
the German subjects there were safe,
apparently reopened the entire sub
ject of the powers' respective rights In
Morocco, whloh everyone else thought
was settled by the treaty of Algiers.
Grey, as foreign .minister, conducted
negotiations for England, , He aald he
told the German disorder tnat n uu
not consider the kaiser's attitude dis
interested and added that unless Eng
land was included as a party in the
new settlement, Great Britain would
consider the old treaty abrogated and
the entire question reopened. '

and the firp of the rebel warships on the third, a great
part-of Nanking is in ruins and rebels are already en
trenched in the city's outskirts. The fall of Nanking is
expected momentarily. Convinced their cause is lost, the
' viceroy and Tartar general commanding the imperialists,
have fled, refuging in Japanese warships. It is certain
that massacre will be the fate when the city falls and the
Manclius are fighting desperately on Tiger hill. The car
nage is fearful. It is estimated that 3,000 imperialists
and 500 rebels are already dead.

(By E M. Cousin. Traffic Attor-
. Nov. 27. (Special)
.nterstate commerce com
vision in the so call coast
,uve rate case is in accordanc
press reports, and k what the
jrtland and Puget Sound Interests,
dlalm for It, a most serious situation
confronts those Interior cities inter
ested in their commercial and Indus
trial development. And this concern
of the Oregon and Washington com
missions to follow the Interstate deci
sion In their forthcoming readjust
ment of state rates.
While manifestly unjust to say that
50 cents will buy 100 miles of trani
portation from Portland or Seattle but
only 75 miles from Pasco. La Grand
or other interior points, it must ba
remembered that the commission was
ruling upon what was before It and
the interior towns made no showing
In the case. The Oregon railroad com
mission did this same thing. when it
reduced the clai rates out of Port
land without a corresponding reduc
tion between other points and now
Justify their action because the other
places aJfected made no protest at the
hearing, nor took any measures to re
strain the order. ''
The principle of the Interstate com
merce act Is equality but the burden
Is upon Interested parties and com
munities to protect their rights, the
same as in any other cause.
It Is beyond controversy that the
relative adjustment of freight rates
determines the commercial growth
and development of any community
and unless active and concerted mea
sures are promptly Instituted by the
interior towns to make a showing to ,
the commission before the recent or
der goes Into effect, the disadvantage
will soon appear In the discourage
ment to manufacturing and commer
cial pursuits at Interior cities. '
Pending receipt of the complete or
der of the commission In the distribu
tive causes it is suggested that , plans
be perfected to proceed Immediately
to secure a suspension of the order
provided It Is found, to embody the
discriminatory features reported. :
