Paris. June 1.-THE efforts to secure
a diplomatic readjustment of the Franco
Germany controversy relative to Morocco
are without definite results and the ne
gotiations, while not suspended. make
practically no progress.
France has not given her final reply to
Geimany's movement for an International
conference and the officials do not con-
firm the German press reports that France
has definitely rejected the proposal for
a conference.
For the present Premier Rouvier is
turning his efforts towards learning what
Germany desires to accomplish by a con-
ference as 10 Is the view in official quar-
ters that some Of the chief objections 10
the conference may be removed by hav-
ing its plans and purposes exactly de-
fined.

possibilities resulting from a complete
failure TO reach a diplomatic adjustment.
