OUDJA Morocco, -May tf.
(A.P.) The negotiations for set

have come to an . end , and Jthe
Spanish and French governments
will again take up arms against
the warring tribesmen.
Eighty thousand French troops
are lined along the Ouregha riv

Spaniards stretching to the south
from Melilla nearly to Sidi Bour-
okda and facing the west, are pre
pared to march forward within a

to be-that France and Spain have

has failed to make any conces

that war lis necessary for. him to

(By Associated Press.) Although
Major Thomas G. Lanphier and
Sergeant C. M. Wisley failed April
26 to fly . the Detroiter, a thre
engine airplane of the Detroit
Arctic expedition, over Brooks
range to Point Barrow, it was the
hope here tonight that Capatin

Lieutenant Carl B. Eielson, pilot,
will accomplish the feat. Use of
the Detroiter for a flight into the
Arctic wastes was made necessary
today when the Alaskan, a single
motored plane, was wrecked in a
take-off. It was pointed out that
a divide called Anaktuvauk Pass,
and approximately 2,000 feet
above sea level, lies in the moun
tains a little west of. a direct line
to" Barrow, and that it-is easily
wide enough for a large plane to
