General Linievltoh's report re garding the future of Russia in the Far East is pessimistic He says the Japanese forces in Manchuria are in tact and liable to open hostilities at any time.

Reports relative to the probability of an agreement are circulated on all sides. Conciliation certainly is in the air. and continued efforts In that di rection arc going on, but a tangible basis for a posj!blc arrangement cannot oe learned. The German delegates do not display any outward sign of making cor ccsslons. while France's latest utterance s Indisputably opposed to further conco- rfons. The neutral delegates are quite optimistic relative to an arrangement of differences at the last moment. The re port that Austria will present a uroject with the object of effecting an arrange ment acceptable to both 1-rance and Ger many Is current, but Impartial delegates are looking rather to Berlin or Paris for signs of a compromise. America Picked as Mediator. Should the conference proceed to a vote on the rival cncmcs. it -is uiwersmuu the American delegates will abstain, not even offering an opinion. This would leave he delegates in a position to continuo their efforts to bring about an understand ing. Mart, of the delegates arc cognizant of America's attitude, and some.

XOT ACCEETABLE TO FRAXCE Foreign Offiqc Crltlcisca Compro mise Offered by Germany. PARIS. March 7. The Forolgn Of flee says It Is unable to connrm the announcement from Berlin that Gcr many is about to yield at Algeciras by conceding French and Spanish of ficers for the iioroccan ponce How ever, unofficial reports today indicate that Germany Is disposed to make coneessions navlng the effect of set tling the Franco-German controversy. One Berlin report says tnat uer- many will conccae me poncing oi one Mbroccan port by the French, the other norts remaining under international oollcc The Foreign Offlco here spc cifically repudiates this report, saying that the concession of a single port would not be accepted if proposed. Another report received here from Berlin says that Germany will concede the oollcc to France and bpain it they will agree to the appointment of an lnsnector-general from a neutral power. The officials here say that the latter condition is unacceptable. They point out that a mandate to French and Spanish officers would not be ef fective, if a neutral general were placed over tnem, as the general would counteract the French and Spanish au thority. While the Foreign Office sees some difficulties remaining. It is evident that the pacific overtures from Berlin diminish the gravity of the crisis and open the way to a possible solution In which Germany will concede thcpollce and France will concede the bank. The evening papers are skeptical upon the subject of Berlin's concessions. The Liberie publishes an alleged authoritative statement that the German propositions are not acceptable, as they are conditioned upon the French officers being under for eign supervision, and declares France has said her last word on the police question. ALMOST AGREED OX POLICE German and French Delegates Dis cuss Plan of Compromise. BERLIN, March 7. Private conver sations between the German and French envoys at Algeciras have brought them almost to an agreement on the Moroccan police controversy, so near. Indeed, that the Foreign Of fice here regards a satisfactory Issue of the conference as assured. Germany. It is understood, accepts France and Spain as having the officers best fitted for policing Morocco, and France ac cepts international control In princi ple, undertaking to supply adequate guarantees that the pollco shall be In ternational In character. It Is the specific form of these guar antees that remains unsettled and con tinues to be the subject for discus sion. It Is likely that an international inspectorship will be created, consist ing of a single officer of repute from a power other than France; Spain or Germany. One. detail which continues totbe" discussed is- the propriety of the inspector is being located In a neutral ized harbor. The Ministers of the powers will also exercise general ob servation over the police. three or five years. During this time the French and Snanish noiicc make periodical reports to the diplo matic corps at Tangier. Germany In tne meantime reserving her rights. In order that If the arrangement proves unsatisfactory she can demand a re vision at tne expiration of the llfo of the agreement. t y Comparison of Rival Xavics. PARIS. March 7.
