DEADLOCK STILL
ON At ALGEC|RAS
.FRANC0-GERMtN SITUATION
REMAINS THE SAME
France Specifically Declines Equality
in the Organization of Police.
Wants 1000 Moors Under
Sixteen Officers
BY Associated Press.


ALGECIRAS. Spain, March 6.-The
positions, as defined before the confer
ence, show that the Franco-German
deadlock is practically the same in
open conference as it was during the
private exchange of views.
The text of the speech of Herr Won
Radowitz, head of the German delega-
tion, at yesterdays session of the con-
ference, as given out, concludes as
follows:
THE powers being equally interested
i'll the police organization, should
equally participate in it,"
! France specifically declines equality
in the organization of the police, claim
ing that it is mere ruse to undermine
Frances legitimate special position in
Morocco. The text of the speech of M
Revolt, chief of the French mission,
reads:
THE internationalization of the po-
lice would give 10 guarantee of order
and presents grave difficulties. We ask
for recognition of the legitimate inter
estS of France as a MuSsulman power
in north Africa and our special inter-
ests in the maintenance of order in
Morocco"
M. Revoil's speech also gave France
nrSt exact plan lor tne ponce, SHOWING
that the rank and file should consist of
1000 Moors under sixteen French and
Spanish officers.
Germanys chief objection is that
military bodies officered by Frenchmen
would be stationed at four of the chief
ports on the Atlantic, thus giving
France a dominating influence on the
Atlantic coast.
The positions of France and Germany
are so diametrically opposed that the
delegates see little hope of reconcilia-
tion unless Emperor William person
ally interVenes.
