DETROIT, Mich, May Thames
r. Brereton, new chief of the local
sector of the United States-Canadian n
border prohibition enforcement agents,
told the Associated Press today that
he has received no information that
the Federal authorities intend to arm
boats to be placed in commission soon
in chasing rum runners in this vi
cinity.
Unless there has been a secret ar
rangement between the United States
and Canadian authorities whereby
such a thing would be permissible" he
said, we would be violating what l
understand to be an agreement be-
tween this Nation and the Dominion -
The present agreement between the
United States and the Dominion of
Canada, it is understood allows each
government four boats armed with
small-caliber guns for use by the Gus
toms department. No limit Is placed
on the number of unarmed boats
The last thing we are desirous of
doing is to get into entanglements
with Canada for violating a treaty
due to everZealousness in enforcement
of the prohibition law" Mr.. Brereton
said.
He also denied knowledge of a fleet
of Is armed rum chasers, Is feet long,
which were finished two weeks ago at
Bay City and which supposedly We're
to be assigned to the Detroit district.
Since his arrival here a few days
ago Brereton has been inspecting the
Government craft at his disposal. At
present this consists of four in opera
ton. Two of these are owned by the
Government and two are borrowed.
Brereton intimated that boats are be-
ing built at other points in the State
and out of the State for use by tls,
local division, but refused to say how
many or when they would be deliv-
cred.

GERMAN OFFICERS.
TO LEAD R|FF|ANS
TAT Reported on Way to d.
rect Tribal War on
French Forces.
BY the Associated Press.

PARIS. May 27.-Abd ell -Krim, the
Riffian leader. is actively recruiting
supporters among the tribeSmen in
habiting the zone north of the Ouergha
River, which has just been abandoned
by the French.
Hard fighting is continuing. with
neither side making any appreciable
gains.
Information from sources which the
French consider unimpeachable is to
the effect that 147 young Germans,
trained in various semi military ath-
letic organizations, have left Germany
for Morocco by the way of Spain to
join Abd-elKrim troops. Some, it
is said, will receive commissions, while
the others will serve as non-commis-
stoned officers.
Add el-krim's immediate aim is to
get food supplies, latest reports from
Fee state. His concentration of the
Riffians for action against the French
has brought certain regions of the
Riff almost to the point of famine,
it is reported. Accordingly Abd-el-
Krim's idea is believed to be to ad-
vance into the rich fields of the tribes
in the Ouergha valley, seize all the
supplies back to his bases.
Big Attack Delayed.
Latest advices indicate that Abd-el-
krim. the Riffian leader, is not yet
prepared for his big push against the
French.
The whole Moroccan question is
being threshed out in the Chamber of
Deputies this afternoon. Political
circles believe the debate will end in
substantial vote of confidence.
A report from Tetuan, in the
Spanish zone of Morocco. last night
said reliable advices reported the
presence at Tangier of French
colonel to negotiate with Abd-el-Krim
with a view to ending the Riffian
offensive in the French zone. The
same advice asserted that the French
had lost more than 1000 killed in the
recent fighting.
