STILL SEIZED
IN RAID
Ice Used to Cool Coils Of
Compact Whiskey
Maker.

Not ice cold whiskey, but 'ice-cool-
ed" whiskey must have been in mind
BY a certain San Antonio bootlegger,
prohibition agents said following a
raid on supposedly vacant house,
Wednesday afternoon.
An innovation in cooling systems in
the form of double set of coils en-
closed in copper tanks made alright,
and set in a receptacle, was what
made the agents declare the whiskey
was to have been "ice-cooled." No
accommodations had been made for
water to run over the coils. and ice to
20 around the vacuum chambers where
the small coils were was the only log
ical means to condense the liquor, they
said.
On the same raid. the agents discov-
cred a 1O-gallon still, made out of
galvanized milk can. The bathtub was
found full of mash. No whiskey was
found and the still was not in opera
ton.

 In the view Of officialdom, there seems every reason 10 believe that the negotiations now proceeding will end in satisfactory settlement.

STRATEGIC MOVE
 AGAINST RIFFIANS
French Command in Morocco
 Plans Advance Soon

Paris, Aug. Pl--As plans are being developed by the French command in Morocco for a strategic offensive movement in the near fu- ture with a view 10 bringing the re- bellious Riffians to terms, Ameri- can aviators are on their way 10 Morocco for service with tho French aerial forces. which are expected to play prominent part in the opera tions.
 The overseas aviators who vol unteered for service 'on the side of the sultan of Morocco" left France for the battle zone yesterday, six of them going by airplane. and five by train.
 Meanwhile the French air squad rons in the French protectorate are losing no time carrying out flights designed to harass the tribesmen. They also are actively supporting the operations of flying columns. Direct advCcs from French head quarters at l'ez say that such col
 
 tions with considerable success all along the front. These groups are described as so composed and direct ed that they completely dominate the enemy where they appear.
 The situation in the Ouezzan re- Gion northwest of Fe2, shows no modification. The enemy is observ- ed strengthening his positions in Diebel and Sarsar. The French group which advanced from Mzer- oun towards the northwest met no opposition.
 The principal operation executed by the French recently was in the region Of Tafrant about 40 miles almost directly north of Fe1. It was designed to reviCtual French posts in the region, and was fully successful.
 Columns starting from Kelaa-Des- Sless and Tanniment effected a junction without difficulty, clearing Fez-El- Bali Of Riffian investors. Another detachment replenished the supplies of the French at Tafrant
 Tho propaganda of Abd El-Krim appears to be having much success among the Tscul tribesmen in the east. who are beginning to recon- sider their intentions of submitting 10 the French.
