PREPARE FOR ATTACK
French Flying Columns Active on Front and Reserve Force Gets Ready for Big Drive.

Fe2, French Morocco, Aug. & tP)- French flying columns are continu- ing their operations on various palts of the front, preparing the way for a decisive blow aSdtnSt the rebel Iious Ri(fians which will be struck, 1t is generally undcrJi0ol, if their leader, Abd- Ei-l[rinl, does not state his views on the subject of peace by August Is.
 Carried out by fresh troops, these operations arc invariably successful, not only from a military, but what IS equally important, the moral point of view, for many of the tribes which had been worked on by Abd-El- krims' subtle and persistent prepa . ganda and were inclined to join him now have changed their minds.
 Flying columns have inflicted a notably severe check on the enemy in the Oue2zan region, northwest of Fez, the Riffians losing more than 800 killed. Elsewhere the rebellious trihcsmCn show a certain amount of activity, They still hold all the yil- lagos on the Bibane range and in the Oar RQmich region, five miles from Taberrant
 In the east, while the Tsouls are beginning to abandon Abd- FL Krim, the Granes tribesmen arc still loyal tn him. The enemy Is creeping through between posts in the region Of bar kaid Hedbeh.

 No similar trip has ever before been undertaken by governor gen eral of the Dominion.

WILL DECIDE ON
 CHAPMAN REWARD
Supreme Court to Consider the
 Case

Who Is entitled to the rewards for the capture of Gerald Chapman, convicted murderer of Patrolman James Skely in the Davidson & Leventhal department store last Co., tober l2? This question Is expect. ed 10 come up at the September session of superior court for de- clsion so that the S3,O0O reward off, lered by tho state for the murderer's capture can be paid The $500 re- ward offered by the Herald will be given to the proven captors.
 The reward of $S,0OO, Offered for the capture or information leading to the capture of Giovanni Vottari. now serving a life sentence at Wethcrsfeld for the murder of Jo- seph D'Angelo last September, will be awarded at the session. The identity of the person who will, re- ceive the reward has never been re- vea'ed by tho local police.
 The Nottari capture in Canada resulted from communications be- tween Chief William c. Hart of the local police and 8 chief in a Ca nadian town, who told Chief Hart that 2 man there had told him he knew the whereabouts of a man wanted here for murder but who refused to divulge the information unless a reward was offered. States Attorney Hugh NJ. Alcorn was noti- he'd Of the communications and he Immediately set the wheels moving with the result that q $8.000 reward was promptly proclaimed by Cover nor Trumbull.
 It is possible, however, that the awarding of the reward for the capture of Chapman will be put off until after the supreme court has had an opportunity to review the case and decide on the appeal from the verdict of guilty. If the finding Of the superior court was not up- held and q retsial ordered and Chan man acquitted, the reward would not be paid at alI for the money was offered for the capt,ite of Patrol- man SEolIy's murderer, and not for Gerald Chapman himself.

Vienna, Aug 8 Pl-At the last session of the Austrian Medical as sociation investigators reported, and others corroborated, that the ad- ministration of insulin to non-dia- betic persons resulted in an intense and healthy stimulus of the pappe- tite, enabling emaciated and conval- escents to eat three to four times what they had been eating and re- sulting in rapid increase in weight.
 In some cases the accumulation of fatty tissue was so great that it was found necessary to decrease the doses soon after the beginning of the treatment to prevent desugarisation of inc blood beyond the normal de- gree, This is considered as welcome news for those engaged in the treat ment of the early stages of lung af- foctions as well as unsightly thin ness.

Report in Berlin Is This Will Be Case Unless Banks Give
 Assistance

Berlin, Aug. P,-The Rheinlsch- Westfaelische Zeitung at Essen, gen erally regarded as the mouthpiece Of the Stinnes family, today ex- presses the view that unless the group of leading German banks, headed by the roichsbank, which early in June undertook to support the liquidation programme of the Sllnnes interests alters It's methods the great concern left by the late Hugo Shines will declare bank ruptcy or ask for court supervision of it's liquidation.

 Members of the banking group categorically deny that there arc any difference between themselves and tho Shines family.

EUR0PE'S PROGRAM
 FOR DEBT PAYING
Will Be Based on Decrease in
 Farming Imports

Williamstown. Mass, Aug, & Pl- Decrease in agricultural imports or an increase In the export of manu- factured goods, or both, will form the basis of Europe's debt payment program, Professor E. r, Gay of Harvard said today in an address at an institute of politics round table conference.
 There are limiting factors in in creased production of agricultural commodities in Europe" Professor Gay said. Among the most impor- tant factors may be noted increased urbanization, a return to the self sufficing small farm, and availability of cheap foodstuffs from foreign lands.
 "The movement of population from the farm to the city which was marked in the industrial states ot Europe before the war has been temporarily checked. but with the strong impetus to increase the ex- ports of manufacturers there can be little doubt but that the former swing of population to the cities will be resumed, and. if anything. the percentage of urban population re- quiring food imports will become larger.
 Those countries which normally have a surplus of food products, Russia and other countries in east ern Europe, even when they come back to pre-war acreage will in all likelihood show relative diminu- ton In tha amount of food avail able for export to other countries in Europe. This will be due to the number of small holdings which have become established in these re- gions by the division of large es- tates after the war.
 While the small farmer may have somewhat higher standard of liv- ing than the hired farm lahorer, the small farm tenure tends to reduc- ton in total production and hence in export surplus.
 Unless there are compelling req sons in the nature of upward price changes for agricultural products, there will be no cause for Europe to change its food consumption. ha- bits or to change the organization of it's agriculture. For the immediate future there still remain new lands in foreign countries where an in- crease in production can take place without any stimulus of higher prices"
 Ales Broz, Czechoslovakian consul general in New York, discussed the stabilization of currency, the prob lems of financial equilibrium and the industrial and agricultural condition of his country.
 There are many facts showing that the financial difficulties with which Czechoslovakia has been faced hitherto are of transitory character and will soon be overcome" he said. The persistent effort of Czechoslo- Nakia to attain equilibrium in the budget is manifested particularly in it's endeavor to save money in all tho departments of the state. At the same time my country is endeayor- ing to renew'the old commercial in- tercourse by concluding commercial agreements with the neighboring states"
