GERMANS REPORT
DEBT AGREEMENT
Young Plan Used as Basis
for Accord, Unofficial
Sources Indicate.

BERLIN, November 12.-Reports cir
culated in we'll informed circles today
that France and Germany had reached
an agreement for handling reparaticns
payments with the Young plan as a
starting point and with an assurance
that German need agree to nothing
until she knows what will happen when
her $4,000. 100000 marks of short-time
private debts expire next March.
There was no confirmation from any
official source, but it was generally be-
lieved that if this plan of dealing con-
currently with reparaticns and private
debts Is accepted, Germany would re-
quest a meeting Of the World Bank
Advisory Committee on Preparations
and at the same time an International
Bankers Committee would go into the
private debts problem. Thereafter. 1t Is
expected, there would be an interna-
tional conference.
While neither Chancellor Bruening
nor the French Ambassador, Andre
Francois -Poncet, would divulge any in
formation, it was assumed that the Am
bassador had brought concrete pro-
posal when he returned from Paris this
morning and that he would present 1t to
the chancellor late today.
II unofficial reports are correct this
proposal would assure France that the
Young plan would be the starting point
for any discussion of reparationS and
Germany would be assured that she
need sign no reparations plan unless she

happen when private short-term credits

CHELTENHAM, Md, November 12.-
A Federal prohibition agent. one of a
Southern Maryland woods near here
late yesterday, was shot and probably
fatally wounded by alleged moonshin-
ers in a pitched battle early today.
The agent, Harry D. McMunr, 80, of
Leonardtown. was taken to the Provi-
dence Hospital, where physicians said
shotgun slug wounds in the head and
chest probably would prove fatal.
Three Are Arrested.
Three men were arrested later in
connection with the shooting and taken
to the Upper Marlboro Jail. They gave
their names as Eustace Herring, Nelson
Patton and Marshal Green and said
their home was in Spottsylvapia, Va
They denied knowledge Of the shooting.
A still, several gallons of mash and
liquor were seized by the raiding party
at the distillery camp near the scene
of the battle. A shotgun, believed the
one from which the slugs were fired
at McMunn, also was found at the
camp.
McMunn was shot when the alleged
distillerS appeared suddenly from a
thicket and opened fire after he had
blown his police whistle as a signal to
his fellow agents. Four of the agents
exchanged shots with the attacking
party and chased it into the dense
woods where its members escaped.
Resulted From Drive.
The shooting grew out of a drive to
rid the i've Southern MARYLAND coun-
ties, termed by Amos w. w. Woodcock,
prohibition director, the wettest spot
in the United States" of distillers, said
to be the source of the Washington
liquor supply.

For Manchuria Seen
With FAVOR by China

NANKING, China, November a.
Dispatches received here from Geneva
today said the League of Nations Coun-
Gil is considering suggestion for ths
formation Of an international patrol
force to occupy portions Of Manchuris
and assist the Japanese in withdrawing
their troops.
Such an international patrol wouid
serve the purpose, 1t was said in oficial
circles here of protecting japanese lives
and property during the evacuation, and
it was favorably commented upon.
Expects Chinese Approval.
DR.. Wellington Koo, former Chinese
premier and now a member of the
Marking committee for taking over the
administration of portions of the terri
tory now occupied by the japanese, said
If the reported move could be brought
within the scope of the Leagues resolu-
ton of october "a China would un-
doubtedly. approve 1t.
He said China approved the October
"a resolution and thereby agreed to CO.
operate with the League or other
powers to expedite the japanese evac-
uation. He said, however, that If the
project included any details beyond the
scope of the October resolution the
Marking government would need to
study the question before making a
decision.
Disputes Railway Claim.
Commenting on other dispatches
from Geneva which said Japan con-
siders the Taonan- Anganchi Railway
to be now portion of the South Man
churia system because of alleged failure
of the Chinese to pay the roads
Japanese creditors, DR.. Koo said if the
Chinese had infringed a contract the
matter falls for arbitration between the
interested parties. He said any VIOLA
ton of contract in no way justified
Japanese occupation of the Nonni
River territory.
DR.. Koo came here from Peiping to
represent Chang HSueh-Liang, deposed
Manchurian governor, and to lay before
the National government the facts con-
corning the Tientsin disorders He said
the government was forwarding all the
facts to the League of Nations.

KNUTSON OPPOSES
HOOVER DELEGATES
Minnesota Representative in
Fight on denomination if
Slump Continues.
BY G. GOULD LINCOLN.

Sporadic efforts to deny to President
Hoover the Republican nomination next
year continue, but none of them make
Roadway.
Out in Minnesota, Representative
Harold KnutSon, dean Of the Minnesota
delegation in the House, has announced
himself in favor of an uninstructed
delegation to the Republican National
Convention next year. In an editorial
In his newspaper, the Wadena Pioneer
Journal, Mr.. Knutson said, in effect,
that If prosperity returns in measure
during the next few months nothing
can prevent the denomination and re-
election of President Hoover, but IF
present conditions continue it would
seem to us the part of wisdom for the
party leaders to give serious thought to
making certain establishments"
Mr. Knutson has been regarded as
regular" generally in the Republican
organization of the House. He has oc-
casionally hoped the reservation. Here
in Republican circles Mr.. Knutsons
suggestion now that perhaps the Re
publicans would be wise to pick another
candidate for President is believed to be
largely for local consumption.
At Odds Without Success.
There has been a good deal of criti-
ciSm of the administration in Minne-
sofa, and furthermore, the Republican
factions in the State have been hard at
it, hammering each other. Mr. Knut-
son, too, has been at odds with the ad-
ministration over Federal prohibition
agent without success.
In his editorial, Mr.. Knutson OBJ
jected seriously to the advice given by
former President Calvin Coolidge to the
Republicans of the country in his recent
article in the Saturday Evening Post
urging the denomination of the Presi-
dent. Mr.. Knutson said that the Pioneer
Journal could not subscribe to the doc.
trine that the right of President serv-
| ing his first term to denomination is in
herent. He continued:
denomination must be contingent
upon the success attained by that ad-
ministration. A major party is infinitely
greater than its leader, who is subject
to being replaced whenever the welfars
OF the country and party demands thai
this be done. The Republican party /.
