PARIS, June 1G.-The strained rela-
tons between France and Germany over
Morocco continue TO give rise to serious
apprehension. but while. openly admitting
that there are real difficulties involved.
the officials protest against this being
made the basis Of exaggerated reports.
One report that Germany had sub
mitted an ultimatum brought out a for
NAL denial from the foreign office.
At the same time. the diplomatic strain
between France and Germany is un-
8deniably serious. The chief cause Of this
! is the inability thus far of either party
to propose a remedy acceptable to; the
other.
One OF the chief causes of the present
apprehension is the possibility Of some
untoward incident along the Franoo-Ger-
man frontier, which for years has been
garrisoned by formidable military forces.
