CATAPULTED PLANE FALLS INWAR PLAY Launched From Ship, Hits Wave and Overturns in Hawaiian Maneuvers. By the Associated Press. ABOARD U. S. 8. NEW MEXICO, FLAGSHIP OF THE _WHITE FLEET, at Sea, off Hawall, May 2 The second and final day of the inter- sectional warfare among units of the Grand Fleet developed a battle of smoke ens yesterday ~ The en- gagement featured by one air- plane crash, which wrecked the m chine, but which only shook up and gave a ducking to the pilot and ob- server. In the middle of the action, in which the White Fleet scouts were attempting to locate the Green force for an attack with a preponderance of light forces, an _observation plane from the New Mexico, piloted by Lieut. D. A. Powell with Lieut. J. B. . Noble as observer, was_catapulted from the New Mexico. Just the plane was being shot airward a heavy swell “struck the New Mexico, de- pressing _the catapult toward the water. The tail of the plane struck the water as a heavy wave came up, sending the plan’s nose into the ocean, overturning her and pinning the pilots beneath. The pilots, uninjured, clambered to the top of the overturned plane. A heavy bombing plane landed in the water nearby and took the dripping aviators aboard. Meanwhile six small boats dropped to the water from the New Mexico and the Idaho. One motor sailer took the aviators toward the Langley. Planes Prove Value. In today's action the White fleet again attacked the Greens, which had a preponderance of capital ships and proved the value of airplanes for spot- ting elements of the enemy offense and defense, according to observers. Warnings from the White aviators fiying in advance of the main force enabled the heavier- ships to steer clear of several mine fields. One plane of the squadron directing torpedo firing of the destroyers, reported to Rear Admir: W. V. Pratt, command: er of the Whites, that “we've launch- ed_successful torpedo attack.” White scouts sighted the Green fleet at about 10:30 F morning straight ahead of the To gain a strategic po Whites executed a column left, which brought them broadside to the Greens, when the latter exccuted a column right. The Whité light vessel laid a smoke screen and the Greens retaliated with & similar movement. Score Many Hits. Meanwhile the batleships within range and the 1.pound sub- calibe ched to the 14-inch guns cracked and the subcaliber attach- ments of the 3, 5 and 6 inch popped away in an attempt to * the enem White destra launched scores of torpedoes what is believed to be good effect, in- asmuch as they either scored direct hits on the Green ships or forced the Green commanders to maneuver the column out of position, which forced them to find new ranges. After both sectlons returned to Lahaina, Lieut. C. T. Gladden success- fully catapulted a plane from the after deck of the New Mexico. Admirals and captains engaged in the two-day maneuvers wil gather to- morrow aboard the Pennsylvania to discuss resuits. SEES PROSPERITY INDEX. Jason Rogers Says Advertising Campaigns Key to Business. WEST BADEN, Ind, May 23 (®). fonal advertising campaigns al- before the public and others in of preparation are indicative prosperity in the country, ason Rogers, former publisher of the New York Globe, said in an address yesterday at the Inland Daily Press Association’s Spring meeting. Stand- ardization of the makeup of the smaller newspapers was urged by Mr. Rogers as a means of lessening the cost of national advertising cam- paigns. Thomas Rees of the Springfield, 1., State Register, another speaker, gave observations on a recent foreign tour which he made. A report by Will V. Tufford of Clinton, Iowa, secretary treasurer, showed that the as: 242 daily news their combined daily circulation being THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C., SATURDAY, MAY 23, 1925.

RIFFS WITHSTAND FURIOUS ATTACKS; SUFFER BIG LOSSES (Continued from First Page.) brilliant operations in the sector un- der the direction of Gen. Count de Chambrun. The tribesmen’s losses were consid- erable, the communique declares, while those suffered by the French were “small, considering the effectives engaged.” The object of the French attack was to relieve the upper Ouer- gha Valley. The moral effect of the French suc- cess was even greater than the ma- terial. Reports from native sources indicate that it made a great impres- sion_among the tribes, undermining much that Abd-El-Krim had accom- plished by skillful propaganda. Abd-El-Krim's morale unaffect- ed, however, reports through the in- telligence service show. He is not in any way slackening his preparations, and is even increasing preparations at certain points. At the same time he is speeding his concentration of merd and materials and intensifying his propa- gand The French are rapidly turning their success to advantage by strengthen- ing their lines and preparing for further clearing operations. RIFF TRIBES DESERT. Defection Brings Defeat to Abd-el- Krim in Battle. TETUAN, Spanish Morocco, May 23 (#).—The Riffian tribesmen suf- fered defeat in Gen. Count de Cham- brun's drive mainly because of the defection of the Beni Zeroual and Beni Mestara tribes, accordnig to advices received here. The rebels lost 245 killed. Abd-el-Krim is said to have imposed a fine of 1,000 duros each on four tribes following the rout. New French military contingents are arriving from Algeria to il the gaps caused by casualties and also to reinforce the garrisons and the flying columns established in the sector between Fez and Tazza. Great stores of war material and airplanes have been moved into the theater of war. Advices from native sources say the strained relations between the Riffian_war lord and Jeriro, the Ye- bala chieftain, have become further embittered through the latter’s failure to rally his tribesmen to Abd-el- Krim's support. Spanish forces have had several skirmishes with rebels, who attacked three Spanish blockhouses on the Buse Mela I ravines, but were put to flight following arrival of rein- forcements from Ben Karrich.

A new police station, 100 additional policemen, 2 new fire engine houses and 9 more pleces of fire appa ratus were listed as the principal needs of the Police and Fire Depart- ments by officials who appeared be- fore the Citizens' Advisory Council at_the District Building last night Maj. James O'Connor, in charge of Army engineer work in this district, | the stern the development o along the ea described Anacostia parkwa: end of the city, but told the council-| men that at the present rate of an- nual appropriation it will take nearly 15 years to complete the project to the District line. Maj. O'Connor ex- pressed hope that the vearly allot- ments would be doubled, so as to finish the park within seven years. The Engineer officer also recounted tions there to allow French troops to follow the Riffians into the Spanish zone of Morocco. This is predicated on the understanding the French shall return to their own zone as soon as the enemy is chastized. There is no question of Franco- Spanish military co-operation against the rebels, the correspondent adds. PARIS ANXIETY GROWS. By Cable to The Star and Chicago Daily News. PARIS “fay 23.—Bewilderment and anxlety a growing in Paris over the torrid Moroccan war. Paris newspapers are flooded with conflicting_reports, some playing_up the officlal communiques from Fez, claiming a sweeping victory, and som~ turiously denouncing the “murderou tropical civil war,” and excitedly de- ploring the government's secrecy re- garding the casualties. This morning's communique states that Gen. Chambrun has rounded up the Riff marauders between Afn Alnchi and Wergha, inflicting heavy losses and causing a_general retrea But the main body of Riffiians admit- tedly still is untouched. The situation admittedly still is most serious. As fighting under the swinging palm fronds, behind rocks, under the al- most incandescent tropicAl sun, con- tinues, international complications loom gravely. They are largely sum- marized by the question, “What will Spain and England do?”” (Copyright, 1825, by Chicago Daily News Co.)

The council has now heard from all important agencies of the city govern- ment, except the park administration under Col. Sherrill and the Public Li- brary system. The meeting adjourned last night subject to the call of the chair. These conferences are being held to provide the council with the in formation necessary to enable it to make suggestions to the Commission- ers as to how much the next District budget should total. High Pressure Secondary. Questioned by Councilman George C. Havenner concerning the merits of the proposed high-pressure system of fire protection for downtown Wash- ington, Fire Chief George Watson de- clared himself an advocate of high pressure, but saf the Fire Depart- ment needed additional engine houses and new apparatus in certain residen. tial areas first. Chief Watson sald he wanted the high-pressure system -because he re. garded it as the only effectual way of checking a conflagration should one ever start In the downtown section.

S CALL LINCOLN TEN ONE HUNDRED _All Steel or Wood Frame Garages T E fearful his department would not get new houses and additional apparatus if high pressure should be asked for next year. The chief summarized his needs as follows: A new engine house on Sixteenth street near Piney Branch road, to cost $92,500. A new engine house for Chevy Chase, on Connecticut avenue be- tween Macomb street and Nebraska avenue, $76,225. Two new ladder trucks, four new engines and three new cars for bat- talion chiefs. Chief Watson quoted statistics as to the growth of Washington, both in population and bullding values, to show the need for more engine houses and equipment in outlying sectlons. Edwin B. Hesce, chief clerk and as- sistant superintendent of police, told the council the department should have a new precinct station in Tenley- town to replace the substation now maintained on Wisconsin avenue. He also urged appropriation of funds to take on the 100 policemen needed for traffic regulation author- ized in the recent traffic law, but not appropriated for. Mr. Hesse also cited the need for a small group of addi- tional patrolmen to man the thir- teenth precinct station, soon to be erected in the northwest section. Park to Cost $2,000,000. Maj. O'Connor told the council funds for carrying on the Anacostla Park development are being provided at the rate of $170,000 a year and that about $2,000,000 is needed to finish the work. ~Of that sum $275,000 will take the park as far as Benning Bridge. To o on from the bridge to the Dis- trict line will require §1,800,000, In the course of his talk Maj. O'Con- nor suggested it would be better to lo- cate the proposed national arboretum on the road to Mount Vernon than on the Mount Hamilton tract in the vi- cinity of the Anacostia Park. Washington, Maj. O'Connor said, has many large Federal reservations, such as Soldiers’ Home, Naval Observatory and the Mall, but it has only two real parks in which the public may enjoy outings and athletic recreation, name- ly, Rock Creek and Potomac Parks. The Anacostia Park, he said, will be to the east end of the city what Rock Creek 1s to the west. If you want work, read the want columns of The Star.
