AMERICAN DELEGATION ACTIVE

AIGECIRAS, Spain, February 15.-The
situation of the Franco-German controversy
over the vital points of the proposed Moroc-
can reforms remains unchanged, although
feeling prevails among the delegates that
some decisive step is not far off. They are
particularly cautious just now, In view of
the alternative waves of optimism and
pesslmism and of the fact that the inability
thus far to reach an accord does not war
rant overconfidence.
But at the same time 1t is conceded that
the continuance of the Franco German pour
parlers shows that the critical stage has not
vet been reached and that the adjournment
yesterday of the sessions of the conference
until Saturday gives opportunity for an
active renewal of the efforts to reconcile the
French and German contentious.
