M. Caillaux Has
Plan for Strengthening
Out French Finances

Paris, May Z (AP)-The following
forecast of the plan devised by NJ.
CaillauX, minister of finance, for
Strengthening out the financial situa-
ton will appear in tomorrow's Matin.
NJ. CaillauX will lay his plan before
the cabinet tomorrow and before the
finance committee of the chamber on
Tuesday next.
Various expenses. which heretofore
have not been incorporated in the
budget will not be listed in it: fer
example, pensions, the deficit of the
railroads, and the supplementary
posts, telephones and telegraph bud
gets; these henceforth must be COW
cred by taxation. leaving only the
settlement of war damages as a d.
rect charge on the treasury.
This means, the Matin says, 5000, =
OOo,00O francs supplementary receipts
from the taxpayers, half of which
amount M. Caillaux intends to obtain
by increased direct taxation, and the
other half by increasing certain
schedules of the income tax, notably
those dealing with income from in
vestments and agricultural profits.
which will be taxed in the same pro-
portion as other sources of income.

.RIFFIANS STILL
THREAT TO FRENCH !;
IN MOROCCO AREA

Paris. May 7.-(AP)-The latest
reports received from the troubled
zone in Morocco are regarded by
technical experts in Paris as show
ing that the Riffians are giving the
French more trouble than was ex-
pected. This deduction is made
particularly from the fact that the
French General Colombat's column
is still fighting in the region OF
Djebal Bibane, where it came to
grips with the invaders a few days
ago, and also from the fact, which
developed from today's dispatches,
that several French posts in that
sector, and farther east where Col
onel Freydenburg's column has been
violently engaged, still remain sur
rounded by tribesmen.
Airplanes are endeavoring to keep
the attachments holding the posts
supplied with water and provisions,
and thus far, official dispatches as
sert, the posts have shown no signs
of distress.
The turn taken in the hostilities
during the past few days indicates
that one feature of the tactics of the
Riffians is trench fighting. This Is
considered likely to prolong the
struggle and increase the chances for
political complications at home. AL
ready the Socialist organs are ask
ing pointed questions as to what 10
going on in the region of Ouergha.
The Quotidien, official organ OF
the Radical Socialist Coalition, de-
mandss more explicit information
concerning the operations and full
explanation from the government as
to just what it is intended to accom-
plish on the border of the Riff couu-
try. ADD l-Krim, the leader of the
rebels, who has representatives In all
European countries, is said in. Off
cial circles to be fully posted on all
possible political reactions from the
conflict in Morocco.

Aircraft Alone
Not Sufficient
For Defense Purposes

!" Hartford, Conn.,, May 7-(AP)-
Any reliance solely upon aircraft for
defense purposes was declared err
roneous by Secretary Wilbur tonight
in an address before the Connecticut
chamber of commerce.
"To defend America we must be
prepared to defend it's interests and
our flag in every corner of the
globe" he asserted. THE sugges-
ton that United States can be de-
Tended solely by aircraft operating
from our shores is born of ignorance
of what constitutes our nation and
of it's vast and world wide interests,
and also OF an unwise enthusiasm
for one feature of national defense"
he declared.
"a Chinese wall around continent
tai United States" he continued,
whether of stone, of coast defense
batteries, or of bombing planes cap
able of attacking ships 250 miles
from our coast, is no defense of the
farfiung commerce and interests of
the United States. World wide in
terests require a worldwide de-
fenSe."

NOVELIST DELAND
IN MAIN ADDRESS
B0WD0IN INSTITUTE

Especial to the Kennebec JournaN
Brunswick, Me-, May 7-"Some
Ways of Writing Short Stories" was
the topic of the address made by Mrs.
Margaret Deland. the we'll known au-
thor in speaking at the Bowdoin coll
lege Institute Of Modern Literature
this evening. In Introducing Mrs.
Deland, Prof. Henry C. Andrews of
the college faculty said. "She is an
artist and her art eXemplifies the
achievement Of the devoted artist"
In opening her talk Mrs. Deland
said that there were as many ways of
writing fiction as there were writ
ers. frequently one sees advertise
ments of schools which claim to be
able to teach one how TO write. what
to write and where to sell what they
nave written. In writing fiction the
knowledge of technicalities will not
make a story good. Style in fiction
Is what fragrance Is to a rose. Simp-
~ reading ones betters will not help
the reader to produce beauty. 1t is
wise to remember not to use ten
words when five will do. Mrs. De-
Iand hkened the writer to the car
penter building a house. She said
that unless one knows what he
wants to produce tools are useless.
The creative urge must come first
and the result cannot be effected
without toll. A clean conception of
the sort of a house one wants to
build must be made. There must be
a governing idea. The details are
the tools but they are useless with
out the guiding hand of the living
creature.
People who are regularly attend
Ing the Institute are unable to &C.
count for the statement in a Boston
paper OF Wednesday to the effect
that the people of this locality are
slow in waking up to their opportu-
nifty to attend the lectures. Every
evening thus far since the Institute
started Memorial hall has been filled
to the doors. Tonight it was neces-
sary to permit nearly Is students to
find seats on the platform behind
the speakers while many were fore
ed to stand at the rear of the hall
The lecturer tomorrow evening is
to be Carl Sandburg who is to speak
on "Romanticism and Realism in
Modern Poetry"
This morning Hatcher Hughes who
told last night how he came to write
Hell Bent for Heaven" received a
group of students from the English
department in discussion of mod
, ern tendencies in the American
drama, while tomorrow morning an
