They hope to get some territory out of it for themselves. The Spanish know it, and badly as they need help, are mighty suspicious of the kind the French are giving them.

SOME PET MEASURES CAN'T STAND THE "GAFE''

Vice. President Dawes went to the South the other day and had quite A pIeasant visit ou the same plat form with Senator Underwood of Alabama, The latter is of the same mind with Mir. Dawes on the "neees- sity" of curbing debate privileges in the Senate. It is quite unique 10 have these two representatives of political poles agree on something
 The Dawes plan in the Senate which is a different thing from the Dawes plan in Europe-wouid per init a mere majority vote in the Senate te enforce cIoture, instead Of a two-thirds vote, as at present Under the Dawes scheme, fl the majority would wish to end a de- bate. it would mean that the party in power could enact anything it wished, being only circumscribsd in this effort by the extent and de- termination of insurgency. Under such a plan there probably would be more insurgency engendered than at present. Another point Of the Dawes senatorial plan is 10 pre- vent senators speaking on "irrele- want matters;" but what is irrele- want and what is not frequently is hard to determine when a senator couples irreIevancy with relevancy
 Dangerous measures have been frequently talked to death. Senator Moses, in opposing the Dawes scheme for senatorial cloture, voiced his opinion on this point as follows;

"SMUTTY" MAGAZINES AND
 FEMININE "ARTn

The campaign against "smutty" magazines which has become ma tionvide, will be of value to the country If professional vice crussd- CTS can be induced to keep hands off. It doesn't require professionals to determine whether q magazine is good or bad; there are laws upon the statute books appertaining to indecent literature, courts have in- terpreted the laws. and the authori- ties virtually everywhere have pow CT to sweep the offending publica- tions from the news stands,
 The magazines under discussion inv ariably look worse from the out side than they are on the inside. but some of the se-called "art" ma gazines, which profess to ap- peal to students of art and not the general public, have become the chief offenders in the minds Of those who cannot see the necessity of such magazines going into gen. eraI circulation. Poses of women garbed in natures raiment may be artistic, but as everyone is aware. the general public is no judge of art.
 Conditions in New Britain are no different than elsewhere in the country; such magazines have a healthy-or unhealthy-circulation In this city. But of late they have not been much on display. To test the situation a representative of the Herald went to a news store to purchase one of the chief offenders and saw nothing on the stands to in- dicate it was in stock. But a query elicited the information that they were to be had for the asking, the newsdealer merely going to the rear of the store and there procuring the magazine. Pictures in the maga zine were all that common rumor claimed. The demand for these magazines was indicated by the fact that the Herald representative placed 1t in desk drawer as Ex- hibit A and it was gone the next morning.
 What the unsophisticated critic cannot understand Is why so much art has to do with nudity. There is just ss much art in landscapes, rural scenes generally and even urban scenes as there Is in the hu- man form, and only the urge to at tract attention seems to Turk behind the effort to paint flesh-er 10 photograph it. As a matter of fact many of the pictures in these a'leg- ed art magazines are not reproduc- tions of paintings, but mere photo graphs.
 If the Greenwich Village artists and ncar-ariists got out into the country more and cleared their minds, they would not have 50 much use for feminine adjuncts Tn their conception of what is artistic

Washington, June 2.--The unac- commodating refusal of the Riff tribesmen to fight fair" is responsi- ble for Frances inability to use planes successfully in her Moroccan campaign.
 So reports the United States army air service.
 The fact that the worlds premier power in the heavens seemed to be relying so little on aviation in North Africa has been spoken of before as quite a puzzle to experts. It inter- ested this country's flying military men so much that they have been investigating and now relate what they found out.
 "The Riffs" according 10 the in- vestigators, have no regular strong holds OF supply bases, but operate singly or in groups of three or four, from caves and sheltered rock lodges in the mountains. making air craft of little value.
 "Tf there were supply bases they could he bombed, or if the tribes men gathered in any number they could be wiped out by gas or ma chine gun fire. But their onslaughts are short and Immediately afterward they dtsperse in the mountains.
 Resides, most of their attacks are at night. when airplanes are at disadvantage"
 It appears also that the tribesmen have had good luck in bringing down low flying planes by rifle fire.
 And as tho natives," adds the report, "care nothing for inter- national law and have a habit of disembewelling captured ayiators, low flying over the hostile country Is somewhat unpopular"
 France tries to give the impress sion that the Riff struggle Is between civilization and harbarism and that the world ought 10 wish civilization good luck. Not necessarily.
 The Riffs are in rebellion against Spain. A people In revolt against Spanish colonial misruIe are en- titled to the benefit of every doubt, The Riffs may be savages but it's doubtful if they'll be improved by any civilizing they're. likely to get from Spain.
 The French simply were side swiped by the fight. They were glad Of it. too. They've been want irg to get Into lt for quite [ while.

IN ROW ON
 CHURCH AND WAR
Windham Center Congregation.
 alists Takes Up Dispute

willimantic, June tAP)-Rsv. James G. Graham, pastor of the Wlndham Center Congregational church, who has been in dispute with the county rninAteral union, over the question, 1t is said. of war and pacifcism. took up the issues in his pulpit yesterday morning and criticized . paper read before the union by Rev. F. W, Tholen Of Stafford Springs on the subject. "The Concession Of the Church to War" in which the latter is reported to have declared, We of the clergy cannot see that we should offer our services in the future wars of the country"
 Following the meeting of the union, the Rev. Mir, Graham char acteriIed the remark ss q disgrace to Christianity, disloyslty to our na- ton and an insult to lives sacrificed for the price of the home and she community"
 In a letter to Rev. r. c. Williams, rsctor of St. Paul's church here and president of the Windham County Ministeral union the Rev. Mir. Gra- ham demanded that he be granted the right to read a similar paper ct the next meeting of tho union of "Pacifcism and Individualism versus Christianity and Democracy"
 According to Mfr. Graham he was denied this right.
 At the May meeting of the union held in Lebanon, the Rev. Mir, Gra- ham handed in his resignation. To- day Mir. Graham criticized the re- marks made by speakers at the memorial services in the various cemeteries yesterday, claimed that they "breathed with Paeihcism" and were anarchy, pure and simple"
 The Rev. Mir. Williams, In explain ing his refusal to purmit Mir. Ora ham to read a paper before the union, said that the meetings of the union were not public and were held only for the good done ip the inter est of the country, churches and community. It was the feeling of the entire membership, he said, that Mr. Graham might sftry to debate with Mir. Tholen in public, but not with sanction of the union.
 Mir. Graham served with the American army in France and was wounded at the second battle of the Marne.

New Britain, Conn.
 May 20, 1925. Editor:
 The New Britain Herald. slr:---
 The use of the scouts in New Britain to distribute letters from the office of the school board invit- ing parents to accept the new plan for religious instruction of public school children was improper.
 The question is one concerning which there Is a difference of opin- ion among parents although the plan has been adopted without pub lie hearings by the school board. The conference presided over by MT. King in February 10 which a certain number of people were in- vitsd by letter was not a. public hearing. It was a gathering Of those favoring the plan. The writer learn ed of 1t quite by accident.
 The letter sent out by the super intendent of schools and the en- closed card to be signed make no provision for the signatures of par ents opposed to the plan.
 Distribution of these cards and letters by the scouts tends to create the impression of substantial unani- mity Of public opinion regarding the matter. This the writer con- tends, is not the case.
 The president of the Teachers Union in New York city is reported in the press as condemning vigor- ously the proposal there "to link the public schools with religious train ing" He urges the avoidance of measures that have the effect Of making determinations between pupils"
 Why, as g member of the school board said 10 the writer, cannot children go to church for instruc- ton after school hours? One of the writer's children has done so.
 The scouts should not be used for propaganda purposes.
 Yours truly,

THE PRESIDENT TAKES UP
 STATE ISSUES

When President Coolidge took up such questions as law enforcement, state taxes, state government and federal road building in his Me- morial Day address he discanted upon some Of the most pressing problems before American people problems which have received con- siderable argumentatiye illumina- ton, yet remain in fair way to be as unsettled as ever.
 The President of course is cor rect in his view that laws exist 10 be enforced, and that it is the duty of Americans to bow to their in- eyitability: the other recourse is to reseind the law that isn't enforced. Since prohibition came the discus sion regarding law enforcement has been worn more or less threadbare; the Presidents contribution to the discussion intcriccted the question Of the responsibility of states in connection with cooperating to en- force the federal law, The Presi- dents position was that states which ignored federal laws were negligent to their duty. One com mentator was quoted as thinking he referred particularly 10 the north eastern states"
 Most certainly, a state that tg- nores a federal law IS negligent; but the claim can be parricd. We think, with the claim that when the feder- al government passes law and de- ponds altogether too strongly upon local enforcement of the law, there is also possible at least suspicion that the federal government is neg ligent Underlying the alleged negli- gcnce of both state and fedora gov crnmcnts, however, Is the nature Of the law.
 In calling attention 10 the fact that state and local taxes throughout most of the country total consider ablv more than federal taxes, and that they are constantly mounting while federal taxes are decreasing the President did the country service. Extrayagant local and state proiects have enormously added to taxes in many of the states; yet were the extrayagant projects eiih- mated and the necessary ones left 1t would be found that these alone tend to increase taxes greatly. The milk of the cccoanut is that during the war many needed improvements were not made and it has been business of catching up ever since
 The greatest tax producers eH- cepting education, in most states are improved roads, especially ln such states that are big and require an immense mileage of such thor pughfares. To make it possible TOT big yet comparatively poor states to construct improved highways TOT tourists from other states, Congress passed the federal aid law. This was one of the laws that the Presi- dent criticized in the Memorial Day address. The arguments he used against the law were those made familiar in previous discussions but whether that means there Riil be something done about H by Con ETsss is doubtful; m0ss son5Fesausen
