French;-JJeply:-! Conciliatory In
Spirit But Firfa as to Ques
tions of Principles.
.- Paris, Sept, 12th. -France's reply lo
Germany's counter proposals in the Mo
roccan negotiations has--been written
and was laid before the French cabinet
recently for approval." The task of draw
ing up the reply proved simpler than at
nrst expected, doubtless because the
German demands were such as could
not be accepted 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 notices to the
miniateiv M. Caillanx will lay before
them hi) ana w or to Germany, after
which it wiil be dispatched by special
courier to the French'1 amhassador at
Berlin, who will hand it to the German
foreign minister.
It is understood that the reply while
written in a spirit of conciliation, isab
solutely firm with regard to the posi
tion f rancs has assumed concerning
questions of princliple from which
France will not depart ahair's breadth,
The premier's energetic and business
like manner of proceeding has had a
good effect. It is regarded as another
proof of the absolutely unanimity and
firmness of the government as to its
policy and as a manifestation of the
government's desire to do the utmost
to shorten the period of uncertainty
which is having such prejudicial effect
on the markets of the world. It also
removes any possibility of charges that
France ly delay assisted in bringing
about further financial distress in Ger
many. The broad outlines of Germany's pro
posal .have been communicated to the
public because the government be
lieves that the people have a right to
know at this period of tension what is
being done. Foreign Minister DeSelves
has also indicate. 1 a semi-official note
that France's reply would be a refusal
to accept Germany's conditions. In this
French opinion uppears to be wholly
united and prepared for any contin
gency. One point of view in official quarters
is that Germany's financial situation.
which is expocted to reach a climax by
the end of September, may tend to
moderate Germany's demand. .

-CLOSt MAJORITY
Maine After More Than Fifty
Tears Of Prohibition Gives
It Up.
PortlarJd, Me., Sept, 12-Unofficial
returns indicate that prohibition has
been voted out of the constitution of
the State of Maine by a majority about
1,400 votes. About 25 small towns has
not reported and the votes of these to
gether with errors incident to the collec
tion of returns by telephone still leaves
the exact result in some doubt.
Some 120,000 voters cast their votes
on the question, With .the 25 towns
missing, the vote was 60 878 for repeal
and 59,563 against the change in the
constitution.
As has been predicted, the cities were
the chief strongholds of the repeal fac
tion, but the majority 12,000 in the total
city vote was barely sufficient, accord
ing to the latest available returns, to
offset the vote of the rural communi
ties.
Although the vote did not equal that
of a year ago when the Democrats
swept the State which ffr years had
been a Republican stronghold, the elec
tion wus without question one of the
most interesting contests the State has
ever known. There was not a home in
any section of the State which had not
been flooded with literature sent out by
both sides wbila the voters were wait
ed upon by personal workers and haran
gued at public gatherings to cast their
ballots for or against repeal as the cape
might be. The result was that hun
dreds of voters who had not visited the
polls for years, with the possible ex
ception of last year were recorded in
this election.
