Lull in Riff Fight
While Forces Reform

Paris.-(, )-Intermittent fighting
is proceeding all along the front in
French Morocco with the Riffians
showing great activity. The latest adj
vices indicate, however, that the opera
tions are purely minor and that ADD
El-Krim, the Riffian leader, is not yet
prepared for his big push against the
French. The whole Moroccan question
is being thrashed out in the chamber
of deputies this afternoon. Abd-El-
Krim is actively recruiting supporters
among the tribesmen inhabiting the
zone north of the Ouergha river, which
has just been abandoned by the
French. Hard fighting is continued
with neither side making any appreci-
able gains. Information from sources
which the French consider unimpeach-
able is to the effect that lat young
Germans, trained in various semi-mili-
tary athletic organizations, have left
Germany for Morocco by way of Spain
to Join Abd-El- Krim's troops.

NO WORD FROM
POLAR PLANES
Experts Do Not Consider
Delay Necessarily Means
Disaster.
RESCUE PLANS AFOOT
President Coolidge Will Ar
prove Any Plan Advanced by
Our Air Experts for Relief.

Oslo, Norway-T 1.-THE Norwegian
government so far has not discussed
the question of relief expedition to
hunt the Amundsen-Ellsw north
pole flyers, Foreign Minister Nowinc-
kel told the United Press today.
There was still no news of the pole
flyers this forenoon. Despair gripped
many, but scientists and polar explor-
ers still insisted that there need be no
undue alarm even though Amundsen
has been gone since last Thursday.
Minister Mowinckel's statement was
made in response to suggestions that
the United States government would
be ready, if asked, to send the dirigi-
bic Los Angeles, to wrest from the
arctic the secret of what has become
of Amundsen and his daring fellow
flyers.
The fact that the government hith-
erto manifested no official alarm, wac
taken in part as hopeful sign.
Captain Gustave Amundsen, brother
Of Rould, remains confident. He told
the United Press he would be disap-
pointed if his brother returned too
soon, since that might indicate lack
of careful scientific observation at the
pole. Captain Otto Sverdrup, arctic
explorer, declared there had been al
ready too much fuss about Amundsen,
adding that one must not expect Of
him the impossible. In other words,
he anticipated that some time had to
be taken for observations.
Other men acquainted th the polar
tregions joined in holding there still
is time for Amundsen to return
safely to Kings Bay, Spitzbergen,
with his heroic crew.
New York City,. To-day is the
sixth since the Amundsen- Ellsworth
polar flying expedition hoped off for
the north, and the whereabouts and
welfare of the six adventures remain
as much mystery as ever.
When their two planes disappeared
from the view of those at Kings Bay,
Spitzbergen, all communication with
them ceased, as Captain Amundsen
went without wireless equipment,
so as to carry as much motor fuel
as possible.
AS to what has befallen the party
since, there are several possibilities,
but the truth can be for the present
only a matter of conjecture.
Say Relief Premature.
There is much discussion about re-
lief expeditions, but Amundsen's
friends in Norway declare this talk
is premature. The explorer, they say,
went prepared for all contingencies;
he is fully capable of taking care of
himself and his party, and he may be
relied upon to turn up, sooner or
later, at some outpost of civilization.
Statements made at the White
House yesterday indicated that Presi-
dent Coolidge would sanction any
plans formulated by the secretary Of
the navy for an American relief
expedition.
Latest news from Oslo formerly

Kings Bay was more favorable last
night than for some Hours before.

Bobby's little forehead wrinkled uu

Bobby was on the first limb of the

far up in the top, signalling me that
he was all right. But of course he
didn't make any unnecessary noise

After weeks of controversy the court
handed down its decision.
1T is my deliberate conclusion"

entitled TO n decree"
This is true story. 1t concerns

How does such a poisonous union

Does it not, indeed, violate the most

For this is slavery-nothing more.

Answers to these questions may be
found

serbs the heat.

a protective coloring in fish as it is
