Spanish Forces Is Soon
to Be Begun
BY international News Service

PARIS, Aug. 3-The French gov
: eminent has determined upon peace
; IN Morocco through a big and i'm
: mediate offensive.
This decision has been confirmed
: as a result OF conferences, between
/. Marshal Petain, just returned from
a tour of the front, and Premier
Pafnleve, who is administering the
! war office.
The decision of the government
to launch an early offensive
against the Riffs was reiterated
today by Premier Painleye in an
: address at Autun.
: 1.-THE Moroccan campaign Will be
successfully completed at the begin
ming of October at the latest" he
said.
Necessity for an immediate drive
against the Riffs is emphasized on
all sides. Marshal Petain has been
able to report complete unity among
.~fhe French military leaders. Mar
shal Petain likewise has reported
ITO the premier the entire accord
between himself and General De
Rivera, growing out of his confer
-ence with the Spanish chieftaln on
his way home.

at this time, it has been decided
that the offensive must be started
without delay, as about the middle
s@of October the torrential north
AFRICAN rains viii begin to fall,
making use OF the roads all out

communications.
= OF the two evils, Marshal Petain
has chosen a campaign in midsum-
-mer heat as the lesser.
- Meanwhile, there hsa been a luH
in activities on both sides in the
Riff.

fion with Abd-el.Krim has been
abandoned this lull cans be taken
--pnly as the calm before the storm.

CLARK ART COLLECTION
VALUED AT SIS, ZOO, 900

Estimates so far made of the
William A. Clark art collection
which has just been accepted by the
Coycoran Gallery OF Art, fall far
short of the true value OF the col
lection which is placed at 100000
In his judgment, according to G. G.
Glover, president of the board of
trustees of the gallery.
Many articles in the collection
cannot be estimated on a monetary
basis as they cannot be duplicated
anywhere in the world, Mr.. Glover
said
The wing which will have to be
constructed to house the collection
will be built on the west side, facing
E street. 1t will be two stories
high and viii extend about 100 feet
each way. The wing will carry out
the architectural plan Of the present
building.

ABILITY RECOGNIZED
IN COMMITTEE WORK

Z Washington, D. c.. Jan. Sat a
special meeting of the committee on
committees of the House of Repre-
sentatives, Congressman John f.
Nelson of Maine was unanimously
chosen to fill the place on the COM
mittee on interstate and foreign
commerce made vacant by the res
ignation of Honorable William J.
Graham of Illinois. recently appoint
ed to a federal judgeship in the
District Of Columbia. The recon-
mendation of the committee on COM
mittees was unanimously endorsed
by the House of Representatives at
the opening of Tuesday mornings
session. The committee on interstate
and foreign commerce is one Of the
most important in Congress. 1t has
entire charge of all legislation con-
corning the railroads and all other
transportation facilities, the tele-
guard. light houses. and all aids to
public health. and practically all the
business of the country. The scope
of the committees jurisdiction Is
wider than that of any other, and
it is the hardest worked committee
in Congress. Because of the respon-
sibility involved in the legislation
considered by this committee and
its serious consequences to business
and the public welfare, only men Of
we'll established character and abil-
ity are elected to its membership.
This appointment comes to Con-
gresham Nelson as a distinct honor
and {. well-deserved recognition OF
his ability as a lawyer and depend
ability as man. The only other
Now England members of this COM
mittee are Honorable Samuel Wins
low of Massachusetts, present chair
man, and Honorable Schuyler Mer-
rift of Connecticut. Mr.. Winslow. is

leaving but tyo members from New
England on the committees 1t is
anticipated that much important
railroad legislation will come be-
fore the next session of Congress,
much Of 1t of vital interest to New
England and its business interests.
This section of the country is already
facing serious problem in the pro-
posed revision of freight rates in
eastern territory. New England is
fortunate in having on this commit
tee at this time a man who under

those needs known.
The fact that Mr.. Nelson's cleo
ton to this committee was unan-
imous Is unique, especially in view of
his comparatively short time in Con-
gress and the desirability of the APP
pointment. A place on this commit
tee has been Congressman Nelson's
goal from the first, as he felt that 1t
offered a more promising field than
any other for service to his people.
Congressman Wallace II. White, as
the Maine member Of the committee
ON committees has Loyalty supported
Congressman Nelson in this matter.
and been of Invaluable assistance to
him in securing the appointment.
