RABAT, Morocco, May 11.-Lively
fighting occurred again today in the
central sector of the Rifilan front
when Col. Freydenburg's column
went to the relief of an outpost at
Bah Ouender. The French succeeded
In getting much-nceded food and
water to the surrounded garrison.
TETUAN, Spanish Morocco, May
II A.P.)-The attacks of the Riff1an
forces in French Morocco are report
ed to be increasing in force, and
numerous French airplanes have been
brought up to check the movement.
All the French groups operating on
the northern front have also been
reinforced, especially with artillery.
Actions of greater violence are ex-
pected by the French, the advices
say, as Abd-elkrfm, leader of the
Rifian invaders, considers his reputa-
ton at stake, and Is concentrating
all his best forces against the French.
The Rffflan chief has repeated his
call to the. colors and is reported to
be receiving aid fromf some of the
tribesmen in the invaded zone He Is
said to have pan-Islamic and Soviet
agents working among those tribes
which have not yet thrown their lot
with him.
French reinforcements moving to
the relief Of their comrades along the
front line encountered most trying
conditions, being forced to cross open
territory, in which they were subjected
tor sniping from the rebels.

Gov. Walker of the Panama
Canal Zone has officially reported
to the War Department that serv-
ice on the 44,000-yolt transmission
line Of the canal was twice inter.
rupted by animals recently. The
first interruption was due to a
sloth and the second one to, a
porcupine.
The sloth. which had come in
contact with one Of the charged
wires Of No. ? line. the governor
said, was discovered about 10 hours
later on the same tower in the act
Of climbing out on one of the
charged wires Of No. line.
Although burned and singed in
several places by the flash-over. the
slow-going animal was still very
much alive.
A few days later a porcupine was
discovered by a lineman on
tower and in contact with a dead
line. When an attempt was made
to knock 1t down with a stick the
animal ram on the line in an up
right position as IL on level ground,
and considerable difficulty was met
in dislodging it and bringing it
down. These Incidents. Gov. Wal
ker says, probably explain several
previous wire Interruptions for
which no primary cause could be
found.

RUM ROW HOPES
FOR TRADE HERE
FlotiIIa, Breaking Up OFF New
York, May Make chesa-
peake Rendezvous.
By the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, May n.-Vanquished
in this part of the Atlantic Coast by
the dry Navy's blockade, Rum Row
is breaking up. Some liquor craft re-
main off New York, hoping for fog to
aid them. Thick mist came yesterday
for the first time since the blockade
started last Tuesday.
Rear Admiral Billiard, comma nda mt
Of the Coast Guard, has said in Wash
ington that he will be satisfied IL ap-
preciahae disintegration of Rum Row
begins within month";. but sons OF
the schooners asid steamers that nave
formed part Of the fleet selling liquor
between Cape Ann. Mass, and Cape
May, N. j., for four years, have al
ready vanished. Either they have
gone to their foreign home ports or
are seeking other marts along the
coast.
There seems to be hope that GUS
toners from Baltimore and Washing
ton can reach sources OF supply, for
several rum ships have appeared of
the entrance to Chesapeake Bay. The
Coast Guard, which has taken pre-
cautions in this section, has not been
able to identify any of the newcom-
ers as having been in business re-
Gently off New York. Il
Capt. w. v. E. Jacobs. divisional
comma ander of the Coast Guard here,
received a radio message from his
blockaders over the week end that
some of the whisky ships were head.
ing out to sea. Later there were re-
ports that some of the rum-selling
craft had headed inshore in the hope
that customers could elude the Coast
Guards piekets in the fog and do
business. During lift in the fog
eight rum craft were noted lazily rid
With tho blockaders having on
duty 80 craft, 1t was believed SNUG
glers would have great difficulty In
getting ashore, even in the mist
Instancing the efficacy of the
blockade is a story told by seaman
OF the dry navy. When Coast
Guard boat cut in close to rum
steamer there came 4 hail by mega
phone from the bridge:
1--WE need water. How about 100
cases of whisky for 100 cases of
water?" The patrol boat ignored the
hail and veered of.
"The Atlantic seaboard institution
of rum is q case for tho coroner - ;
writes Samuel Taylor Moore in the
New York World today. The paper
identifies the captain as one who has
had unusual opportunity to study the
rum problem from the decks OF the
blockading fleet.
The sea captain adds that the en-
forcement problem is by no means
ended, however, for, he says along
the coast there are immense caches
of liquor, overland rum running by
motor truck from Canada Will revert
to the prominence it had before the
/ nP 9nTn4
the LIQUOR fleet may do business 30
or even 100 miles out from shore.
The blockading forces will be aug
mented by Ave patrol boats arriving
at the Staten Island base today. -Four
were from Southern ports and one
from Benton Harbor. Mich.
Seven Of the rum chasers which
came in Saturday for supplies have
returned to duty on rum row.

Found! The Chap
Who Really Can
Lose Bass Drum, !

The proverbial fellow who could
even lose bass drum" has been
found. He exists and his bass
drum is still lost.
P.F Taylor. who handles jew
elry by day and plays traps in a
dance orchestra by night. lost his
bass drum Saturday night be-
tween Hughesville and Waldorf.
An ad in today's lost column ad-
mits the fact.
Mr.. Taylor today explained that
he and two other members of an
orchestra were returning to Wash
ington late Saturday night after
having played for a dance at Bene-
dict, Md. The bass drum, a saxo-
phone and the snare drum were
squeezed in the back of a roadster
and the driver gave the ear full
throttle.
Mr.. Taylor kept an eye on his
nocturnal bread and butter until
the car had passed Hughesville
and after many miles had been
covered, he Glanced to look back.
The drum was gone. Nothing has
been seen OF 1t since.
