Paris Press Adopts Optimistic View of ituation-German Ambas- sndor Confers With Min
 lster Pichon.

Paris, Nov. 6--The belief Is held here that France and Germany will speedi- ly come to an understanding on the questions which, have arisen over the arrest of German deserters by the French authorities at Casablanca, on which occasion, Germany charges, an official of the German consulate at that city was attacked.
 During the early part of October Ger many made representations to the French government on what is now known as "the Casablanca incident" and demanded that France make ex- presslon of regret for the occurrence. As the matter has been pushed to the front in the last few days, France transmitted to Germany q proposal which will she felt could be accepted with good grace by both countries.
 Advices received from Berlin indicate that Chancellor von Buelow looks fa- vorably upon the proposal and there seems to be little doubt now that ar amicable agreement will soon be reach ed.
 The Paris morning papers adopt [ more optimistic view with regard tc the situation They believe that tho crisis is past and that, unless some un. foreseen complication arises, the settle ment will not be long delayed.
 Prince Von Radolin. the German am bassador to France, and Foreign Minis ter Pichon conferred together las evening, and 1t Is believed that thei interview has materially advanced thu work of finding n solution of the prob lem satisfactory to both parties Tn, | formula which France presented ha had O good moral effect, and tn French newspapers express their be | lief that Germany is already recedlni | from her position.
