AGREEMENT NOW SEEMSNEAR
Hope Revived at Algectras Confer
ftrence Over Morocco.

conference on Moroccan affairs will
continue this week to be the focua
point in international Interest. Tho
question of tho Moroccan bank having
boon practically passed over, tho con

portant point, the policing of the coun
try, Should agreement on thlB ques
tion be posslblo an early solution of
tho whole problem and an adjourn
ment of tho conference may bo looked
for. A dispatch from Algorlcas says:
One of the delegates having a most
vital interest In tho conference said
that a settlement of tho controversy
between Franco nnd Germany now
seemed possible, but he declined to
mako known the lines tho arrange
ment would take. Howover, the trend
of recent events has Indicated that If
any sottlcjnent Is reached it would
most likely bo because Franco would
mako concessions with reference to
tho bank question nnd Germany In re
turn would adopt a less uncompromis
ing attitude concerning tho police.
