Berlin, Feb. 13.-Some exchanges of
suggestions between this and other
governments regarding the Algeciras
negotiations are proceeding, although
there is really no expectation of an
agreement
Both France and Germany have TAX
en- up seemingly Interchangeable posi-
tlons. France for general mandate
In Moroccan affairs, and Germany for
combined administration by all the
interested powers. The view of the
German foreign Office is that If France
intended to insist on a paramount po-
slt1on in Morocco, why did she take
part in the conference? If Germany
should now agree to give over Moroc-
co to France, the efforts of years will
be fruitless, and long period Of un-
rest in European affairs, it is believed,
would begin, the issue of which no one
ventures to predict
1t is likened in official quarters, how
ever, to the period of 1865 to 1870,
when the economic life of the principal
continent countries were disturbed con.
stantly by fears and rumors of war.
The dissolution of the Algeciras con
ference, while not in itself the cause
Of war talk, will certainly be succeed
ed by revival of mutual distrust be-
tween France and Germany. Suspi-
cion was aroused here by the news
from Lalla Marina province of Oran.
Algeria, that the Moorish pretender,
Blu Hamara, is assembling the indepen-
dent tribes for foray against towns
near the Algerian frontier. AS the pre-
tender is considered to be fully con-
trolled by the French, his activity at
this moment is disquieting, as indicat-
ing that France has resumed her for.
ward policy in Morocco
