Senator Reed Says
Europe Soon VIII Fund
American War Debt

WASHINGTON, Sept. 4. - Just
back from a two months trip in Eu-
rope, Senator Reed, of Pennsylvania
predicted today after a call at the
White House that negotiations soon
would be initiated by the European
nations concerned to fund the out
standing war debts to the United
States.
The Preparations settlement had
opened the way, he said, for those
countries which have not accounted
for their debts to do so, and he de-
clared that if such negotiations were
not opened soon by them, this coun-
try should take the initiative.
I'm my visit to Europe" Senator
Reed said, particularly in France
and Italy. 1 heard less and less talk
of debt forgiveness. and they seem to
realize that cancellation is impos-
Sible."

BATTLE IS RAGING
BEFORE SHANGHAI;
|NDEC|S|VE So FAR

SHANGHAI, Sept. 40 D. MI
By the Associated Ss.)-Though
troops estimated to number 10000
battled throughout this sunshiny
day, competent eyewitnesses de-
cIared tonight that neither side had
made any material gain in the fight.
ing
Two airplanes piloted by Russians
conducted bombing attacks without
effect.
The battlefront today extended
from the line of the Shanghai-Nank-
ing railway to the Yangtze river,
about Is miles from Shanghai at its
nearest point and about rs miles at
the most distant.
Lung Wha headquarters of the
Chekiang troops, defending Shang.
hal, claimed gains in the Hwangtu
Liuho sector, on the coast. Both
sides reported they had added rein
forcements to their forces during
the day.
Firing was continuous today, the
second of the fighting, from a. NJ,
on. When the I<iagsu troops opened
Cl-tlI dlldGh, Cllly 1DOuI q bllOltotlll1
defenders were holding the Chekiang
lines. Trucks were pressed into serV-
ice to rush troops and ammunition TO
the front, and the moving forward
OF reinfOrcements continued all day.
The Kiangsu troops used artillery
in the attack on Liuho, which ordi-
narily is a town of 5000 population.
There was no evidence that they
had any cooperation from any naval
force on the Yangtse river. Indica-
tons were that the Chekiang troops
would be able to hold that sector
unless the attacking force were
heavily reinforced.
At several points the opposing
fighters were hidden from each
other by fields of growing grain,
through which the rifle and machine
gun bullets cut their way. Eyewit-
nesses said that undoubtedly the
fighters were wasting large amounts
of ammunition in the characteristic
manner of Chinese troops, firing
wildly.
Two American women remained in
Liuho during the bombardment.
They were Miss Grace l. Crandall,
woman physician, and Miss Susie
M. Burdick, who were in charge
of the Seventh Day Baptist Mission
hospital there.
When the firing began the Red
Cross unit from Shanghai retreated
twelve miles, to the village of Lutl,
but Miss Crandall and Miss Burdlck
refused to abandon their patients in
the hospital who were not war cas-
ualties.
All day long the shells whistled
overhead Several of them passed
through the hospital building. Late
in the day the Associated Press cor
respondent obtained the use of an
automobile truck, and by using the
truck and his own automobile mani
aged to remove the patients, to-
gether with the American women, to
safety in Shanghai The rain of
bullets continued, however, while the
escape from the hospital was being
effected.
Conscr:ption Of both men and
women workers for war work was
reported continuing today in many
sections Of the Chinese territory adj
iacent to Shanghai. This drafting
was started week ago, when hos.
tflities became probable. 1t has had
the effect of bringing thousands of
Chinese into the French and inter
national settlements, seeking foreign
protection against The conscripting
officials.

LONDON AND L. S. BANKERS
PLAN FOR BERLIN LOAN
BY Hal O'Flaherty

Especial Gable to The Atlanta Journal and
the Chicago Daily NewsD
Copyright, 1924, by Chicago Daily News.)
LONDON, Sept 4-Private con-
versations between British and
American bankers over details of
floating the Dawes loan for Ger
many have taken place this week
both in London and on the CONT
nent. The chiefs of three great Amer
Jean banks, John j. Mitchell, J. p.
Morgan and Paul Warburg quitely
have been sounding out opinion as
to how much of the loan should be
floated in Europe and how much in
the United States.
British bankers seem to lean
heavily toward distributing at least
S5O.OOO,0OO of the loan among neutral
and allied countries, leaving Great
Britain to raise a like amount. The
balance of $780, 900 900 would be
raised in America.
The British theory of this plan of
distribution rests on the fact that
aeutralS and other allies will re-
ceive greater benefits than Great
Britain, and therefore they should
be asked to shoulder a fair share of
the burden. Prospects for a sue
cessful flotation appeared brighter
than ever today, reports indicating
that German prosperity was bound
10 increase and perhaps make the
loan one OF the best sort of invest
mentS

Feared Her Testimony?

Sheriff English began to investi'
gate today a report that Snyder and
another man, whose name could not
be learned, had been arrested in Han
cock county several weeks ago on
warrants sworn out by Hattie VIM
berly, charging them with carrying
her out on the highway and giving
her a beating. Wounds on the girls
arms are said to have been made at
that time.
The investigation Of this report
was being made by the officers in an
effort to establish their theory that
Snyder killed the girl to prevent her
from appearing against him at
Sparta. Ga, in the flOgging case.
Hathaway told Sheriff English that
he had cunfided to a friend the en-
tire details of the crime, but that his
friend, whose name he would not re-
veal, had kept the matter a secret
according to his promise to him to
do so.
Mrs. Minnie Thompson. where the
girl is said to have lived, told the
Herald correspondent that Hattie
Wimberly came to her home from
Augusta several weeks ago, but that
after a short visit she had persuad-
ed her to return to her mother in
Johnston, S. c. She said the girl
had left her home. presumably to
go to Johnston, and that she had
not seen her since.
The body of the girl which was
buried at 10 o'clock last night at
Mineral Springs church. near Agri-
cola, was eXhumed two kours later
by an Augusta undertaken and car
ried to Augusta in a motor hearse,
arriving there at 3 o'clock THURSDAY
morning where the funeral was held
The body was returned at the re-
quest of the girls mother and
brother.
Mrs. Minnie TT omson was brought
to the jail at noon today, but re,
fused TO talk, other than to deny that
she had seen the girl in the past four
weeks. Witnesses stated that last
time the girl was seen alive was
Saturday afternoon in company with
Snyder.

AUGUSTA, Ca, Sept. 4.-Charlie

ence of Sheriff A. E. English AMI
others.
Eugene Snyder killed the Wimber-
ly girl early last Sunday morning
IN front of Blume Thompson's home
in Warren county, according to Hat
away's statement, which, in sub
stance was follows:
Snyder came by my home near
Mitchell in an automobile on Sat
urday and we went to Blume Thomp-
sons home in Warren county, car
rying Hattie Wimberly with us. Hat.
tie was at the home Of Mrs. Minnie
Thompson, widow living near

Denies Aiding at Bridge

Hathaway then told how Snyder
placed the girls body on the back
seat; how the two of them got into
the front seat, Snyder driving, and
went to IIarrison's bridge on the
Ogeechee river, about II miles away.
Hathaway said Snyder alone removed
the girls body from the car and at
tached two weights to it with a chain
he had in the automobile. He said
Snyder got the iron weights out of
a peach orchard at DR.. Gibson's
place en- route to the river.
II stood on the end of the bridge
and would have nothing to do with
the affair."" Hathaway said. Snyder
alone lifted the girl to the top of
the railing of the bridge and pushed
her into the water"
Sheriff English, according to the
Herald's correspondent, repeated tc
Snyder the confession of Hathaway,
but the former would make no COM
ment. Snyder appeared to be nerv-
Gus, but at the same time had grown
sullen.
Snyder is married and has eight
children, their ages ranging upward
from two months old. Hathaway,
who was arrested at his home near
Mitchell this morning, is also mar
ried and has one child, a daughter OF
about six years. Both are farmers.

Paid Girls Board

Officers said they did not definite
ly know Snyder's business, although
he is said to have made regular trips
between Mitchell and Augusta in
an automobile. Officers said they
were told that he had met the VIM
berly girl in Augusta and carried
her with him to Mitchell on several
occa sions. 1t is alleged that he car
ried the girl to the home of Mrs
Minnie Thompson, near Mitchell,
where she stayed, and that on last
Sunday afternoon, after the girls
body was thrown into the river, Sny-
der went to the Thompson home
and PAID Mrs. Thompson $40 for her
board.
The Blume Thompson home, where
the killing is alleged to nave oc-
Cured is nine miles from Thorn
son, Ca, on the line of McDuffie and
Warren counties. The actual killing
is thought to have occurred in War
ra1 county, although three counties
are taking hand in the investiga-
ton.
DR.. ]. B. Ohphant, of Mitchell,
said a main artery in the girls side
was severed by the bullet wound,
and death was probably instanta-
