WILD RUMORS OF
ANOTHER WAR
Between France and Germany
Over Morocco
ARE FORMALLY DENIED
OFFICIALS, HOWEVER, ADMIT
THAT SITUATION is sERi-
oUs-No COMPROMISE
CAN BE REACHED.

Paris, June 16.--Strained relations
between France and Germany over
Morocco continue to give rise to seri-
GUS apprehension, but, while openly ad.
mitting that there are real difficulties
involved, officials protest against this
being made basis Of exaggerated re
ports. Ono report that Germany had
submitted an ultimatum brought out a
formal denial from the former office.
A report in the Patrie Is that Ger
many has demanded that France and
Great Britain complete guarantee
that the Anglo-France entente is not
in the nature of an alliance against
Germany. The Presse asserts that NJ.
Delcasse. when foreign minister, sign.
ed q secret offensive and defensive al
lance with Great Britain.
These reports are dismissed in au
thoritative quarters as fanciful en-
largements of the situation, and an
editorial in the semi-official Temps
tonight gives warning against what it
terms nervous paroxysms."
Strain is Serious.
At the same time the diplomatic
strain between France and Germany
Is undenhbly serious. The chief
cause of this Is the inability thus far
of each party to propose a remedy ac-
ceptable to the other. France Is tc
nacious to uphold her predominant
position in Morocco without subject
ing 1t to inspection and revision by the
international congress proposed by
Germany On the ether hand Germany
does not recognize French predomi-
nance in Morocco or the Anglo France
agreement ca which this predomi
nance is. based. Thus Germany's ls
sue Is against Great Britain ant
France although the latter is more
Immediately involved.
All Europe Interested.
All parties are making appeal tc
friendly cooperation in the controver
sly and this permits wide range ol
speculation concerning re.arrange
ment OF political alliances. However
officials maintain that the issue does
not involve such far reaching lues
tions, but is tho renewal Of long pend
ing struggle over Morocco in aggra
waited form.
One of the chief causes OF the pres
ent apprehension is the possibility 0
some untoward incident along Franco
German frontier. which for years ha
been garrisoned by formidable mil
tary forces.
