have been under instructions for sew
eral weeks to look over the project of
a trip into the Arctic this Summer In
connection with the Macmillan eXpe-
dition, in case their services should
be required in an emergency, but
even this proposition still is entirely
tentative. If either Of the big dirigi-
bles were to be used on such an ex-
pedition they would require the serv-
ices of the Patoka as a base ship, with
adequate gasoline and other supplies.
The distance to which the Patoka
could penetrate into the North is
problematical on account of the ice.
In so far as the use of relief planes
is concerned. 1t is the view of Navy
officers that nothing can be done with
out a thoroughly organized expedition
to support them. 1t is felt generally
that the planes could do little ex-
tensive scouting beyond that already
planned by Macmillan and the Navy
section of his expedition.
1t is the view of Navy Department
officials that Amundsen, SO far as evil
dence now goes, is by no means lost.
and that it is not yet time to give
up hope Of hearing word from him.

RABAT, French Morocco, May 26
About SO French soldiers, including
officers, were killed and about 10C
native troops fighting with the
French were wounded, it was an
>nounced today, during the fighting
preceding the French retirement
which is still continuing to a line
south Of the Ouergha River. No es
innate was available of the losses to
the Riffians under Abd-el-Krim who
have invaded the French zone.
The French are establishing two
big forts on the new Ouergha front
to replace the thirty or so small
blockhouse posts abandoned in the
evacuation of the territory north OF
the Ouergha River.
These two well garrisoned forts will
be situated at Taounat and Bibane
at the east and west ends respectively
of the newly established line along
the Ouergha., Each will have a gar.
rison approximating a regiment in
force with plenty of artillery and
other equipment.
$50 Square Miles Surrendered
The withdrawal of French forces
Ouergha River has evacuated about
$50 square miles of territory and re
lieved 80 companies of French in
fantry from garrison duty and made
them available for field operations.
The withdrawal also was of a politi
cal character, intended. the French
said to show the world France was
not conducting an offensive campaign
in Morocco, but merely was defend
ing the protectorate zone allotted
France.
The new French line, experts said
will be impregnable to Riffian at
tackS and will effectively block the
road to Fez, even If Abd-ei-Krin
should be able to double his present
fighting force.
1t was announced that modern
fortresses win be built at Taounat and
Bibane. thereby commanding the two
main roads by which the enemy might
attempt to reach F'eZ.
1t was believed that Spanish
authorities will agree to French
pursuit of Rif1ans across the border

gestion that the Loeb-Leopold
murder trial be put on the air met
with violent disapproval from re-
ligious and educational leaders
throughout the country and was
dropped before the right to broad
cast from a courtroom was de-
cided.
It is doubtful, however, in view
of the Importance Of the subject
to be debated in the Scopes trial
and the educational and religious
questions at issue, that any great
opposition would be made to in
stalling microphones to pickup the
brilliant debate looked for in the
arguments.
Although there is no high-pow-
cred station in the State of Ten
nessee except VINO. at Memphis,
1t has been suggested that land
wires could connect the Dayton

MAY FORBID GERM USE
AS WEAPONS OF WAR
Poison Gas Ban Also to Be Subject
of New Conference at
Geneva.
BY the Associated Press.


GENEVA, May 26.-An interna-
tional conference to discuss the pre-
vention or limitation of the use of
chemicals and disease germs in war
was recommended today by the mill
tary committee of the League of Ma
tions conference on the limitation of
traffice in arms and munitions.
The proposal was inspired largely
by Germany's announcement yester-
day of willingness to sign a conven-
ton forbidding the use of poison gas
in war.
The American delegates represented
on the military committee voted to
call the proposed new conference. The
resolution proposing it was offered by
delegates from Great Britain, Italy
and Poland.
The resolution said that chemical
and meteorological warfare has been
unanimously condemned by the civil
lied world 1t declared that prohibition
of such methods of making war must
be incorporated in international law
and every possible effort made at the
earliest possible moment to adopt an
international convention on the sub
ject.
