Associated Press Dispatch by Special Wires
Algeciras. Spain, March 6.-The posi-
tions as defined before the Moroccan Con-
ference show that the Franco-Germa
deadlock is practically the same in open
conference as il was during the private
exchange Of views. The text of the
speech OF Herr Won Radowitz, head of the
German delegation at yesterday session
OF the conference, as given out, concludes
as follows;
"Ihe Powers being equally interested
m the police organization, they should
equally participate in it.
France specifically declines equality
in the organization of the police, claiming
that il Is "a mere ruse to undermine
Frances legitimate special position in
Morocco.
The text of the speech Of NJ Revolt,
chief of the French mission, reads:
"Ihe internationalization of the police
would give no guarantee Of order and
presents great difficulties. We ask for
recognition Of the legitimate interests of
France as a Mussulman Power in North
Africa and our special interests in the
maintenance of order in Morocco
NJ. Revoils speech also gave Frances
first exact plan for the police, showing
that the rank and file should consist Of
1000 Moroccans under l6 French and
Spanish officers
Germany chief objection is that mill
tary bodies oiicered by Frenchmen
would be stationed at four of the great
Moroccan ports on the Atlantic, thus
giving France a dominating influence on
the Atlantic coast
The positions Of France and Germany
arc SO Numerically opposed that the
delegates see little hope Of reconcilinp
them unless Emperor William personally
intcrvcnes.

An Instructive Lenlen Lecture by Rev.
Hubert W Wells

Hubert W. Wells.
Rev Hubert W Wells. rector of ST.
Andrew 5 Church. took the place OF Rev
llewcllyn n. Galley of Philadelphia, as
the speaker at tho MONDAY Lcntcn service
In ST. Andpw 5 Church today Mr. Wells
announced that his subject was "Faitl.
Since faith is usually represented to us
by symbol. such as the Apostles Creed,
there have crept INTO our notion of faith,
he said, several thiugs that need cNami-
nation In the first place the Lowell upon
which a statement OF belief moves Is not
the level of mathematics or exact science;
but IL moves ON the higher level of poetry
In the second place We look at statements
of faith asshNed, whereas no symbol OF "a VII
tai faith can be fixed for iixity of nterprc-
tation is the esscntc of death. As life
expands. and our vision of God clears
and we know moro of the life of Christ
Of course our experiences must change
or count as elastic the words in the symbol
In the third place, in considering faith,
a man is prone to get the intellectual ass
peot into the foreground; whereas amy man
knows that he does 10000 things without
thinking Of their real quality. and lives
his life by habit. II you examine a vital
act you find that you have had "a vision,
which strikes down into your nature and
results in an affection. and YOU DO not
think of the intellectual process Per-
haps afterwards you may write down your
experience, but you realize that YOU can
altogether express Il in words. The words
arc not the most essential part of it but
the vision and the love are. Think of the
Greed. therefore as ON the level of poetry
as living thing. and the result of "a vision
and love.
The speaker tomorrow will be Rev. DIR
