FRANCO-GtRMAN CONTROVERSY.
TERMS OF A COMPROMISE PRAc.
TlcALLY ARRANGED.
Il ls Believed a Settlement Of the Mo
roeean Dispute Is only a Mat
ter Of q Few Hours.

Algeciras, March 20.-The opinion
has gained ground all day that a set
Element Of the Franco-German contro-
yersy before the conference on Moroc-
can reforms is merely a matter Of
hours. 1t was currently reported Mon
day evening that the terms OF com
promise had been practically arranged
and that announcement OF an actual
settlement probably would be made at
the next plenary sitting of the confer
ence, the date OF which has not yet
been definitely fixed, but which is ex-
pected 10 be held either Tuesday or
Wednesday. Details OF the comprom-
Use are not obtainable. but II is stated
that the concessions relate to both the
police and the bank questions, the out
standing points OF which are subject
10 mutual recessions from the appar-
emily rigid standpionts which France
and Germany hitherto have maintain
ed. Il is understood that the forward
move Is the result OF pressure from
the representatives Of the neutral pow
ers, who have displayed considerable
lmpatience over the delay and urged
that increased efforts be made by the
French and German delegates towards
a practical solution of the difficulties.
