spending sputter of the midship's six
powerful motors.
The commander of the ground par
ty megaphoned the order: Cast off,
and the 700 foot long silvery bag
glided upward into the clear morning
sky.
If the conclusion of today's test
should be successful, Commander
Maxfield, with the concurrence of the
naval department in Washington, will
take over the craft. The next step
will be the training of the crew in one
or two fifteen or twenty -fourhour
flights. and then, barring unexpected
difficulties all will be ready for the
jump off toward America.
Immediately upon taking the air the
big dirigible made two circuits of the
air drome and then, with an American
bluejacket perched in the machine
gunner's nest at the very tip of the
ships stern waving goodbye, the craft
headed due west and soon disap-
peared from view. Before the start
Cen. Maitland said he intended ma
neuvering the ship over the North Sea
where she could show what ability
she possessed in combatting the wind,
and then to make a southwark swing
to Pulham, where he expected to tie
the ZR-2 to her mooring mast at 10
o'clock tonight.

SPANISH TO OPEN
DRIVE AGAINST
RIF TRIBESMEN
Will Attempt To Regain Advantage
Lost In Recent Disaster
Before Rainy Season

Madrid, Aug % The new Spanish
offensive against the rebpllouiS Riff
tribesmen is expected to begin before
the rainy season sets in, according to
the latest dispatches from Melilla. 1t
is understood Gen. Berenguer, the
Spanish high commander, considers
the men and material at his disposal
and en- route sufficient for the pur-
pose.
1t is stated that the number of
MoorS who began the recent attack
which resulted so disastrously to the
Spanish forces was not more than 20,-
600 men instead of 10000 as previous
ly estimated This number is declared
to be rapidly decreasing, and the
tribesmen in the field are now COM
puted to number not more than 10000.
Reports OF Attack Denied
Madrid, Aug 23.-Reports appear
ing in some foreign newspapers to the
effect that the Riff tribesmen made a
violent mass attack on the Spaniards
at Sheshuan, western Spanish Mo-
rocco, are characterized as incorrect
in a semi-official statement received
here from Melilla.
Messages from Penon de Veloz de
La Gomera, an island off the Mediter
ranean coast to the east of Sheshuan
cantradict reports that the Spanish
garrison has been forced by enemy fire
to evacuate Penon de Velez de La
Gomera.
The Tangier correspondent of the
London Times was quoted on Sunday
l.. h nf
the Spanish garrison was evacuating
Penon de Velez de La Gomera owing
to the presence of considerable forces
of Riff tribesmen on the neighboring
mainland. He also reported that per-
sistent rumors of fighting in the
Sheshuan district were in circulation
A special Tangier dispatch to the
News Agency of Paris on Saturday
last reported Sheshuen had beer
taken by Djebala tribesmen.

while for the Volga region alone there
are needed 100000 poods of grains,
said radio dispatch from Moscow.
Time does not wait and our stride
is too SLOW
Another somewhat contradictory
radio dispatch says that the two con-
signments of seed rye. totalling L.
100000 poods. already have been re-
ceived and distributed among the dis
tricts of the Samara government, all
laying the panic and curtailing the
migration of peasants. The source OF
this supply is not explained.
The total natural tax collected for
the first nineteen days of August ap-
pears to have been only one quarter
of one per cent of the estimated 270.-
900, 900 poods, the natural tax was ex-
pected to yield this year.
