Algecitas. Spain, Feb. l5.-Ths
situation OF the Franco German con
tfoversy over the vital points OF the
proposes NJ MoToocan reforms remains
unchanged, although feeling pfesails
am ng tue delegates that some decisive
step is not Tar off. They are particu-
larly clutious just now, in view Of the
alternate waves Of optimism and pes
simism and Of the TACT that the ina
bility thus far to reach an accord
does not warrant over confidence.
But, at the same time, il is con-
coded that the continuance of the
franoo-OeTman pouTparlhrs shows
that the critical stage has not yet
been reached and that the adjourn
ment yesterday Of the sessions OF the
conference until Saturday gives an
opportunity for an active renewal Of
the efforts to reconcile the French aud
German contentious.
Ambassador White, chief OF the
American delegation, in bis efforts to
hud . compromise, has not varied
from ths course which he has followed
since tbs conference began. With the
co-operation OF Marquis Visoonti
Nenosta, head Of the Italian mission,
the American Ambassador has already
put forward several tentative plans for
an adjustment, which have been un-
successful, owing to the unyielding
attitude On one side OF the other.
these efforts continue, and the neutral
Powers beliese that they will ulti-
mately succeed, although recognizing
the increasing difficulty as one propo-
sition after another fails to secure
mutual acceptance.
