GENEVA, NOV. 10.

A SOMEWHAT SENSATIONAL REPORT IS CURRENT IN GERMAN CIRCLES SUGGESTING THAT A MOVE IS LIKELY TO BE MADE BY GER- MANY SHORTLY WITH THE OBJECT OF TER- MINATING THE IMPASSE CREATED BY THE WITHDRAWAL FROM THE LEAGUE AND THE DISARMAMENT CONFERENCE.

German quarters hint that early next week, Ger- many. will submit a general scheme, making concrete proposals for the reorganisation of the League of Nations and the continuance of the Disarmament Con- ference.

It is said that the proposals are likely to be con- ciliatory, although they will include at least symbolical re-armament for Germany.
