Ell PASO, Tex, July 20.-Ambushed
by a large force of Mexican rum run
ners. six American border patrolmen
early today fought pitched battle on
the Rio Grande. two miles east Of here,
and drove of the attackers after one
of their party. Inspector Ivan Z. Scot
ten. IS, had been shot and killed.
The engagement occurred at San
Elizario Island. Bullets were exchanged
across the river, which forms the inter-
national boundary, striking on both
American and Mexican soil.
Inspector Scotch fell with two bull
lets in his body. Several Of the smug-
glers were believed to have been
wounded.
One Of Series Of Clashes.
The battle was one Of the most des-
perate Of q long series Of armed clashes
which small squads Of border oficers
have had In the last few years in
guarding almost 5000 miles along the
international boundary against the
forays of smugglers Of liquor, narcotics
and aliens and gun runners and cattle
rustlers.
Noted for their fearlessness, straight
shooting and relentless pursuit of smug-
glers, the border patrolmen have fallen
into ambushes on several occasions.
Scotch, who recently became q men,
ber of the patrol, and five other border
guards. were lying in wait for rum
smugglers following tip that a big
load was to be brought across just
before dawn.

Captain H. J. Horsley, chief inspector,
stationed the six men at the island with
instructions to halt the smugglers.

OPTIMISM SHOWN
ON GERMAN DEBTS
Difficulties of Debtor Nation
Admitted in Statement
on Reparations.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
BERLIN. July 20.-The interim re-
port Of S. Parker Gilbert, agent general
for reparations. covering the first nine
months of the fifth annuity year to
June /. 1929. which was announced TO-
day, contains a distinctly optimistic
note concerning Germany's future.
1t also expressed the opinion that the
Young plan provided an essential basis
for further progress of peaceful recon-
struction.''
The difficulties OF the German situa-
ton are admitted In the introduction of
the report. German credit and busi-
ness conditions during most Of the
period" it was stated, "have been domi-
mated by exceptional influences arising
on the one hand from the unprecedented
severity Of the Winter and budgetary
dificulties Of the Reich. and on the
other hand from attraction exercised by
the high level of money rates in New
York and the suspense incident to the
work of the experts committee for the
ANAL settlement Of the reparations
problem"
Germany's Payments.
The report states that Germany "as
in previous years Loyalty and punctually
made the payments required by the
terms of the Dawes plan." During
nine months Germany paid 800, ,000, 900
gold marks, of which approximately
1888, ,000, 600 were to France, 397, ,000, 600
to great Britain, 142, 900, 900 to Italy,
SO, 10000 to Belgium, 10000. 900 to the
United States and smaller amounts to
other creditors.
Transfers of all kinds during the nine
months amounted to about l $50, ,000, 900
gold marks, as compared to ,252 ,000, 900
during the same period of the fourth
annuity year. Mr.. Gilbert finds the
tendency toward the transfer of an in
creasing proportion of the annuity in
foreign currencieS, the latter absorbing
1922 per cent of the total transfers.
AS to delivery in kind, France Is
most interested. according to the Gil
bert report. Her contracts are prin-
cipally for coal and coke Ignite, but
also cover many items such as boring
and equipping a coal mine in Lorraine,
doing construction work for the canali-
zation of the MoSelle River. and build
ing a motor ship for the French Steam
ship Line. Still other items are the
building of a shed in the port Of Mar
seilleS, the construction of a dam across
the Rhine at Krembs and the asphalt
ing of roads in Haut Rhin.
How Nations Were Paid.
Belgium ordered chiefly fertilizers,
chemicals and machinery on the repa-
rations account. Serbia ordered l10
locomotives and other railway material
and agricultural machinery; Rumania
obtained railway and sanitary material:
Japan, sulphate of ammonia: Portugal,
dredges, tugs and barges: Greece. motor

Developments in the Russo

were as follows:
China broke all relations with
Russia and will request all Rus

The reported occupation of

held false in dispatches re-
ceived in Toxic, which also in
dicated establishment of head
quarters in Harbin by the for
mer Czarist CosSack leader,
Gen.. Savelov, to fight Soviet
troops.
The Kellogg pact, backbone OF

mony on Wednesday to proclaim
the Kellogg treaty formally in ef-
feet.
1t will be Mr.. Coolidge's first return
to Washington and the White House
since the expiration of his administra-
ton. in which the Kellogg treaty was
negotiated. Frank B. Kellogg, his Sec
retary of State, also will return for
the occasion, which is calculated to
impress the world that the United
States and the other principal powers

are confronted with the alternative of
keeping their obligation to submit their
differences to pacific settlement or make
a scrap of paper of the pact and 60

There are also purely British con-

ably be yielded if the Egyptians ever

run their own affairs. Many English
men contend, for instance. that Britain
must hold the whole Of Egypt If she is

however, and say that canal zone
similar to our Canal Zone at Panama
would be sufficient.
There seems to be some merit in this
last contention, although at present the

making the canal area independent OF

agreement similar to ours with Panama

would have the perpetual right to an
