French , Beply Conciliatory Iu Spirit But Firm as to Ques ; tions of Principles. ' - Pais, Sept, 12th. --Francs's reply to Germany's counter proposals in the Mo roccan negotiations' has hewn written and was laid before the Fre.ich cabinet recently for approval. The t':.sk of draw ing up the reply proved simpler than at first expected, doubtless because the German' demands were such as could not be accented by France. .- . The Premier, M. Caillaux, after con ferring with several colleagues .made up his mind last night to convoke a meeting of the cabinet for 4 o'clock this afternoon and sent not eg to the minister. . M, Caillanx will lay before them, his answer to Germany, after which it will be dispatched by special courier to the French ambassador at Berlin, who will hand it to the German foreign minister, ' : It is understood that tbe raply while written in a spirit of conciliation, isab solutely firm with regard to tha posi tion Francs has assumed concerning questions of princliple from which France will not depart a hair'a breadth. The premier's energetic and business like manner of proceeding ha hud a good effect. It is regarded ai another proof of th ? absolutely unanimity and firmness of the government us to it policy and as a manifestati m of the government's desire to do the utmost to shorten the period of uncertainty which is having such preju licul effect on thn markets of the world It also removes any possibility of charges that France by delay assisted in bringing about further financial distress in Ger many. The broad outlines of Germany's pro posal have bi-en.xommunicaVd to the pubi c because tbe government be Neves that the paople have a right to know at this period of tension what is being dine. Foreign Minister DeSelves has also Indicated a semi-official note that Franc ;'s reply wjuld be a refusal to accept Germany's conditions. In thin French opinion appears to bi wholly united and prepared for any contin gency.:: : . One point of view In official quarters is that Germany's financial 'itua'ion. which is expected to reach a riimax by tho end of September, may tend to moderate Germany's demand.
