German and Austrian newspapers are somewhat puzzled, and are glad there are no references to the Congo. They claim that Mr Asquith has recognised Germany’s right to compensation for French developments in Morocco. INSURANCE WAR RATES. Melbourne, July 30. The Underwriters’ Association has received a cable that the following war rates are on steamers: Homewards, i per cent increase; outwards, l-16th. On sailers: Homewards and outwards, T per cent. This is taken as an indication tbit Lloyds do not regard the situation seriously, as war risks are seldom computed in fractions. (Received 31, 9 a.m.) Paris, July 30. Sir F. L. Bertie, British Ambassador, has conferred with M. Dcselves, French Minister for Foreign Affairs. “Le Temps” states that they discussed what portion of the Congo France will be prepared to cede to Germany in exchange for a free hand in Morocco.
