PREMIER To MOOR
FRONT IN PLANE
France Decides to Strike
Great Blow Against
Rebel Tribesmen.

Paris.-The departure of Paul Pain
leve, premier and minister of war, who
left for Morocco in an airplane,
brought home to the French people the
realization that war is in progress in
north Africa
The premier was accompanied by
General JacquemOnt, chief of the pre-
mier's military staff, and NJ. Laurent
Eynas, undersecretary of state for
aviation.
The presence of the undersecretary
for aviation was interpreted in mill
tary circles as meaning that the gov
eminent has resolved to discontinue
"watchful waiting" while the Moors
are concentrating and would throw
into battle all the resources of
Frances peerless aviation contingents.
Big Air War Expected.
The activity around Bourget, Buc,
Orly and Issy, the four leading air.
plane centerS in the vicinity of Paris,
is regarded as meaning that the re-
quest of Marshal Lyautey, the French
resident general in Morocco, for an adj
ditional $50 planes will be granted.
M. Painleve will confer with Marshal
Lyautey on immediate campaign plans
France to Strike Great Blow.
Open criticism of the passive atti-
tude of the French troops before Moor
ish onslaughts recently became so VIC
lent that the government had to heed
public sentiment.
The Painleve cabinet is committed
exclusively to defensive warfare in
Morocco. The feeling was expressed
N military circles, however, that
France had decided to strike a great
blow against the rebel tribesmen and
force Abd-el-Krim, their leader, into
submission.
French Quit Two More Posts.
Fee, French Morocco.-The official
French communication reports that the
French have withdrawn from two adj
vanced posts where they faced the
rebel tribesmen, and that there have
been further infiltrations of rebels
through the French lines.

ing vote of 135 to 2, the house of rep
resentatives went on record here in
favor of a constitutional amendment,
giving the legislature authority for a
sweeping revision of the tax system

tiles, and general modernization of
the tax system are the eventual aims
of the proponents of the Lantz resolu-
tion.

IL ENTOMBED IN
MINE EXPLOSION

Sturgis, Ky.-Five bodies, three of
them unidentified, have been found in
the workings of the explosion-wrecked
mine No. 8 of the West Kentucky Coal
Mining company. All of the known
victims were negroes. Twelve men
remain in the mine and all are be-
lieved dead.
Entries numbers three and four were
scared and burned by the blast, which
was caused by the accumulation of
gas. Timber and debris cluttered up
sections Of both entries. Another res
cue crew of picked men was or
ganized to re-enter the mine with
planks to assist in the search for other
victims. Mud in some places was
found foot and half deep and Sc
riously hampered speedy work. With
the planks, miners hope to advance
faster
Shortly after darkness settled over
the little valley, all the rescue work
ers, numbering about sixty men, re-
turned to the surface Ten of them
were i'll from the effects of gas and
received medical attention.
Fans which were supplying fresh
air for the workers were reversed as
soon as all the men were taken to the
surface. Experienced miners ex-
planned that this action might aid in
drawing poison gas out of the work
ings.

 On the night following the trouble with Joe Bunting, Mary was rest less, could not sleep. She slipped a warm robe about her to stand off the heavy tropic dew. and went on deck. She did not go outside the open companionway, but stood there in the shadow, gazing out across the softly heaving sea which lay like a gem smothered carpet of purple satin under the glittering heavens. Stevens was on watch. His big, powerful figure paced fore and aft on feet light as girls, head 1 sunk between his shoulders. except at each turn when he raised his eyes to sweep the ship and sea with a sailorly glance.
 Suddenly came commotion of men in the black shadows of the waist. Curses stabbed the still air like metal. The mate ran to the rail, bawling down for silence. Mary half emerged, glad of any, thing that promised to break the awful heaviness that hung over all.
 T keel you!" shrilled the voice of Tony.
 "Yus you won't! Blime! Wyte!" screamed 'Erbert Oats in ratlike fury.

, quarrel. Mary stepped from her shelter and hung over the poop rail starry eyed with excitement. The time-keeping apprentice appeared from his own hiding place and stood beside her.
 Somebody's going to catch Hob!"
 "Hush." whispered Mary. then stifed scream. From the scuffle of feet and the uproar of voices in the darkness came the sound of blows; then a horrible, sobbing shriek.
 Holy Mother" It sounded like Tony's voice. There was another voice. like no mans, but like the snarl of a tortured cat.
 "'Ere! 'Ands -orf!" yelled Joe Bunting. Then the mate uttered a splitting curse that was cut short midway and died in fearful grunt- ing groan. And as abruptly as the row started 1t died to silence.
 My Cripes! There's something up!" gasped the apprentice, and stood irresolutely at the ladder head. And to the rail glided Drake, awakened by the breaking of the nights peace.
 What is it?" he demanded. He glanced around. saw no officer. and gripped the boys arm. The boy choked down his fright, but could only point. Drake ran down the lad der. Soon he shouted for lanterns. The rest of the watch ran up. then the sleepers awoke and swarmed around in the lantern glow. Mary stared down from the poop and felt as if she were on the edge of Inferno looking in.
 A deathly silence hung over the circle of illumination. In it, on the deck which was queerly streaked with glistening fluid, Tony lay dead, his hands clutching at his breast. Beside him Jake Stevens knelt, slowly toppling over, blood stain- ing his white jacket at the breast Joe Bunting half knelt beside
 
 both. In his hand was dripping knife. In his round gray eyes hor- TOT. Men crowded around. The Doc tor hung on the edge of the circle chattering with fear holding g gleaming cleaver in oee poised hand. The other hand was out stretched, talonwise, toward Joe.
 "'E done 1t. Captain! It wcs i'm I'm wiv the knife!"

 It was only when we rose from the table. however, that she put ar apparently casual question.
 When may we expect you back? Soon, I hope"

 That isn't nice of you," she said perfunctorily. But I know how you love the farm. Don't you intend tt get away from it again this fall?'
 Not if I can help it." l laughed but the question followed me, un' reasoningly, during my journey tc Jamaica. Dicky had voicei thai same belief in my desire to remalr at the farm. Were the statement and the question related?
