GERMANY PLANS
WAY FARLEY.
ON PARATIONS.
British, U. S. Chiefs to Be
in Berlin at Same
Time.
BY FREDERICK KUN
United Press stan Correspondent

BERLIN, June 11.-A three-cor-
nered conference on war debts and
reparationS among the United
States, Great Britain and Ger
many during the forthcoming visit
of Henry l.. Stimson, secretary Of
state, was anticipated in govern
ment quarters today.
Arthur Henderson, British foreign
secretary, will arrive in Berlin
about the same time that Stimson
reaches the German capital, it was
learned. He and Premier j. Ram
say Macdonald of Britain were in
vited to come to Berlin for further
conversations on Germany's eco
nomic and financial problems.
The presence here Of both Hen
derson and Stimson at the same
time, it was indicated, almost in
evitably will lead to a consultation
among these statesmen and the
government leaders concerning
reparations and war debts.
The German officials hope that
the presence Of Henderson will help
to impress upon Stimson the
urgency Of decisive action. 1t
further was indicated that German
diplomats would be instructed to
make contacts with Andrew Mellon,
secretary of treasury, who is re-
ported planning to come to Europe
soon.
The government meanwhile in
tends to postpone the declaration of
moratorium until after Stimson's
visit. Stinlson is expected in Ber-
lin the week Of July 81 to %. The
postponement OF the moratorium,
however, will not defect the gov
ernment's plan to pursue its real
goal, namely, a tElree-year repara-
tons holiday.

rescue thres men trapped on ship be-
lieved to be the produce schooner City
of Crisfield. aground off Gibson Island.
The schooner was driven ashore
earlier in the day as the norteast
wind approached gale intensity. A
small island nearby, where the schooner
was being pounded high on the rocks
by a mounting sea, offered possible
escape for the stranded men.
The storm increased toward sunset,
driving rain squalls frequently COM
pletely shutting out the view of the
stranded craft from shore. A Coast
Guard cutter from Curtis Bay was
standing by, but could not launch life
boat.
Through glasses two men were seen
clinging to the masts of the ship as
combers, sweeping over the wide ex-
panse OF the bay, smashed against the
side and swept over the decks.
Veteran watermen held that there
was little danger of the schooner being
battered to pieces and believe that the
crew win be comparatively sale for

would require at least 295 to 800 votes
to have working majority. 1t is be-
lieved he could not command more than
20 Liberal votes. Other Liberals, while
they might favor a coalition, would
draw the line at the Conservative tariff

leave Baldwin in an unsafe position.

mounted without a general election, an
immediate proclamation would permit
the customary six weeks campaigning
and an election, with resumption OF
Parliament late in October, as planned
before the present situation arose.

HANKOw, China, August % tSun-
day. A careful survey revealed today
that at least 1000 persons are dying
daily in the Wuhan area, comprising
the cities OF Hankow, Hanyang and
wuchang, from starvation and disease
accompanying unprecedented foods.
The bodies are being thrown into the
swollen Yangtze River together with
dead dogs and donkeys and horses, be-
cause OF the impossibility Of disposing
of them otherwise.
Nevertheless. the tri-cities were sigh
ing with relief today, since the flood
level appeared stationary. However
while there may be limit OF the
Yangtze's rising. human misery IN this
region appears without bounds.
Millions Homeless.
Standard OH Co officials said their
surveys show $4,000 square miles, or
half of Hupeh Province flooded, with
5000, 900 persons homeless and desti-
tute, while In adjoining Human Prov
inee $4,000 square miles are inundated
and 1000 900 persons destitute.
It Is a physical impossibility TO estl-
mate the number Of deaths In Hupeh
ard Human Provinces so far, but there
Is little doubt they win reach 100000
before the floods abate and the ravages
OF disease and famine are ended.
Il is becoming widely recognized that
no scheme for immediate relief Of the
millions of homeless, destitute and
diseased Is likely to be effective, owing
to the lack of organization and trans
poration of food and other facilities

Here he found numerous buried ruins
Of villages Of vanished cannibal people,
with highly primitive culture distinct
from anything yet found in America

that they evidently were intended TO
represent individual men rather than
