landed by the thousands in small
boats under cover OF darkness last
night, were able to organize their
lines and place their artillery for
action. --,-

RYAN MAY HEAD
STUTZ ONCE MORE

NEW YORK, Aug. 10.-Allan A.
Ryan. who fell from fame to failure
through manipulation of Stutz Motor
Car Company stock, may again head
the re-organized concern.
This was intimated in Wall Street
today. after ~ became known that
Charles NJ. Schwap. chairman of the
Bethlehem Steel Corporation, and a
few associates had purchased the con-
trolling interest in the Stutz firm from
the Guaranty Trust Company.
Confidence that Schwab may re-
turn Ryan to an executive post with
the company is based on the firm
friendship which is said to exist be-
tween the two men. Ryan has for
years been a director of the Bethle-
hem Steel Corporation and although
he attempted to resign this office
when he saw financial disaster COM
ing Schwab is Said to have dissuaded
him.

Premier Poincare received a mes
sage today from President Millerand
giving him carte blanche in the c,-
rection of French policy at the al
lied conference and placing entirely
in the premier's hands the problem
of getting the most out of the
French proposals. Poincare was ad-
vtsed that IL his position was dis
approved by the allies, he would
be the best Judge as to whether IL
would be necessary to break the en-
tente. Millerand's message indI-
Gated that a partial acceptance of
the French recommendations by the
allies would satisfy Paris.
The action of the British cabinet
in giving similar latitude to Lloyd
George constitutes Great Britain's
answer to the action of the French
cabinet. Neither government in
tends to weaken the hand of its
chief spokesman by showing the
least indication of a lack of conf
dence. The British cabinet also

Marlboro.
OPINIONS CLASH ON
MODE OF MURDER
Prince Georges Authori-

Hacked to Death. s

NJ. c. b.. the man whose
mutilated body was found along
side a lonely Maryland road yes-
terday. remained unidentified at a
late hour last night.
The body is almost devoid of
hair. A physician who examined
the body declared that the man
had never had a beard. this de-
spite the fact that he must have
been nearly so years old.
The body was found lying face
downward behind a culvert on the
State road that begins at Meadows
and connects the Marlboro turnpike
with the Leonardstown pike. This
Is in Prince Georges County about
seven miles from Washington.
Though there is nothing definite
to point to the fact, the authori-
ties feel almost certain that the
dead man belongs in this city.
Believed Hacked to Death.
At first 1t was believed the man
had been strangled to death by
the string of a potato bag that had
been pulled over his head. This
theory has been abandoned and the
authorities are now fairly certain
that the man was hacked to death
with a sharp and heavy knife.
The initials NJ. c. g., found on
an undergarment. and a few
articles found in the pockets, are
all the police have to guide them
in establishing the mans identity.
There are practically no clues
as to the mans murderers. For a
mile and a half from the culvert
where the body was found there
is a trail of blood. The blood at
the spot where the mans head had
lain was still wet yesterday after
noon. fact which leads the
authorities to believe that he had
been killed and placed in the cul-
vert some time during the previous
night.

the murdered man fitted that of n

Agreement has been reached be-
tween the United States and Ger
many on the appointment of the
mixed commission to determine
American war claims. the State De-
partment has just announced, fol-
lowing advices from Berlin that the
agreement was signed there yes
terday.
Accompanying the announcement
the Berlin government requested
the State Department to have an
American citizen appointed as the
third member of the joint commis-
sion. President Harding has ac-
cordingly appointed William r.
Day, associate Justice, OF the Su-
preme Court. as the third member
or umpire. The name Of the Amer
lean commissioner will be an
nounced later.
Under the terms of the claims
agreement two commissioners and an
umpire are to be appointed. One
commissioner is to be named by
each government, and the two gov
ernments are to agree upon an UNI
pire. The umpire is to decide final
ly upon any questions as to which
the commissioners may disagree.
Hopes Others Will Follow.
In requesting an umpire, Chan
ceIIor wirth expressed the convic-
tion of his government "of the in
tention of the American govern
ment to carry out in an accommo-
dating and just manner the settle
ment still to be solved between the
two States concerned" Wfrth de-
clared Americas attitude of ''mu-
tuaI accommodation" if emulated by
the nations of Europe would do
away with their distrust of one an
other.
The agreement, setting forth the
scope of the claims commissions
work, comes into force on the date
of it's signature.
The commissioners are to meet in
Washington two months hence, but
may fix the time and place of their
subsequent meetings according to
convenience.
Three classes of claims are set
forth for consideration:
