German Republicans Fear Monarchy Plot Near; Ex - Kaiser’s Son Rumored Read y to Take Power IS RESTORATION NEAR? ) MEMBER OF ASSOCIATED PRESS lof By WALTER BROCKMANN BERLIN, July 9.—With the gov- ernment in the hands of avowed rightists most of whom are aris- tocrats, and Hitler's Nazis ex- pressing their approval, the ghost Hohenzollernism again stalks | the German stage. The, peremptory dissolution of | the Reichstag, rumors of an im- pending change in the republican constitution and of the appoint- ment of a commissioner with dic- tatorial powers over Prussia, make republicans apprehensive that the‘,\ rightists are preparing the way| for a monarchy. And the rightists—the nation- alists and the nazis—are now a potent force. Riding on the wave of nationalism they have an ex- cellent chance for increasing their following in the Reichstag election of July 31. The rumor factories have it, de- spite authoritative denials, that President von Hindenbrug will re- sign on his 85th birthday next conference officially AGREEMENT ON WAR DEBTS REACHED AT LAUSANNE GERMANY'S BILL OF REPARATIONS CUT BY POWERS Sixty-four Billion Dollar Debt Scaled Down to One Cent on Dollar EUROPEAN NATIONS SIGN AN AGREEMENT Next Move Will Be to See What United States Will Do About Debts LAUSANNE, July 9.—The Lau- sanne war debts and reparations closed today after representatives of the prin- cipal Powers agreed to scale down Germany’s bill from the original sixty-four billion dollars to ap- proximately $712,500,000.

WAR DEBT SITUATION WASHINGTON, July 9. — The State Department in a statement late today, said there was no change in the attitude of the Am- erican Government on the question of war debts from the views out- lined by President Hoover last June when he said he does not approve of further cancellation but further adjustments may be necessary. The statement followed the Lau- sanne reparations agreement and agitation among European and Brit- ish newspapers that the United States make adjustments or cancel the debts. To Hear Appeals The State Department officials late yesterday said that the United States stands ready to hear appeals of European Powers for a reduc- tion of eleven billion dollars they owe this country in loans during and immediately after the World War. Since Europe has finally agreed at Lausanne to cut Germany's re- parations down to $750,000,000, State Department officials said the Unit- ed States is willing to consider individual proposals and revision of debts from 15 nations who owe this country. here and died four hours later.

Suffered From Cold Owing to lack of proper cloth- ing, Father Hubbard and Mr. Chis- holf suffered intensely from the sub-zero weather and the blizzards which caught them on the moun- tain. The explorers were rewarded by the sight of & marvelous green lake of warm water filling the crater, and they checked up with scienti- fic observation the changes in the volcano since the Gilacier Priest climbed it four years ago. The breakup of the ice in the Katmai flats made the return trip to the Shelikof Straits dangerous, and the shontage of food and a long overdue boat forced the party to subsist on dog flesh and shell fish. Polar Bear To Rescue The motorship Polar Bear, hear- ing of their plight, went to Kat- mai beach and rescued the party after locating them by their dis- tress signals.

Up to July 2, the pack for the district was in excess of 300,000 cases. The Commissioner is gratified with the showing made in the re-!| gion, which was not up to the normal five years ago, the preced- ing cycle year. At that time the run was abnormally light on the south side, and fishing was sus- pended two weeks before the date set in the original regulations. Al- though there was a normal return of fish on the Nushagak side, an influx of boats from the south side endangered the escapement and Commissioner O'Malley closed that down, also. These prompt measures to pro- tect the spawning areas are cred- ited with having served their pur- pose, by making possible the pres- ent good runs throughout the bay section. The season in that dis- trict will close on July 26. predictions on the final pack have yet been made. Commissioner O'Malley will end his present visit to Juneau tonight or Sunday.
