FRANCE AND GERMANY ARE DRIFTING APART, At Algeclras—Pessimistic Views Con cerning Outcome of Conference. Parts, Feb. 9.—Opinion concerning the progress and final outcome of the Algeclras conference has become rather more pessimistic here In con sequence, ol! the semi-official declara tion that neither France nor Germany will recede regarding the question of the Moroc.’an police. Diplomats here strongly support the French view re garding the maintenance of the posi tion of France In Morocco, arguing that France must reject la the most energetic manner any proposal for International control, as otherwise she will. lose everything for which she has been contending. It Is con sidered that a point has been reached where further concessions on the French side are Impossible. The oth er powers have secured every point claimed thus far, including the Integ rity of Morocco and commercial equal ity, and now France’s'turn has come to claim her rights which were recog nized lu principle before the confer ence opened.

Tho Central of Georgia passenger train yosterdny afternoon was a double-header witli flvo extra coaches, and was olio of the few passenger trains over brought Into tills city which required two engines to draw It. One of tho extra cars was tho de layed sleeper from Atlanta that Bliould have reached the city on tho morning train. Two other of the extra cars were filled with white laborers. These laborers were on their way from St. Louis to Apalachicola, Fla, where they will engage In sawmill work. There nre several large mills at Apalachicola, and the labor prob lem there, as In other localities, has become a serious one. The negro la bor has become utterly undependable and has been .tho greatest drawback to successful milling Ih the South. The solution to whlck most of the large mills ore rosortlng Is the Im portation of foreign white laborers. The laborors who passed through yes'- terday woro foreigners, and praotlcal- ly all the white labor which is being brought Into this section Is foreign labor. Y&rdmaster Gilbert Informed a Her ald’reporter .yesterday that It wpuld be surprising to most people to ilearn- just how much ot this white labor Is being brought Into this section. He said that lpst week 200 white laborers were brought through Albany and taken to Florals, Ala., to be employed by the large sawmill at that point. Mr. ,1. K. Pray, who has had the logging contract for the Red Cypress Lumber Co., at Pretoria, for a number of years, and who is now superintend ent of that large mill, lifts made suc cessful use of white labor from Ihe time he began that work, having brought io Pretoria a large colony of Swedes. Mr. Pray’s colony of Swedes 1ms attracted great attention from mill men all over the South and the success which has marked his efforts along tills line lias, no doubt, largely Influenced the present tendency to re place the unreliable negro labor with tile very efficient foreign white labor.
