THURSDAY, JUNE 4, 1925 THE CAPITAL JOURNAL,. SALEM, OREGON PAGE SEVEN NEW OFFENSIVE Paris, Juno 5. The Hiffian tribesmen have launched the stronRest ami best organized of fensive since their invaaion of French Morocco with" a drive ntfuinst Tao Uiuit in the middle of the front. Official reports say Ahd-el-Krim's men temporarily gained some grounds at several points but were repelled by the French. The latter in a' series of counter attacks re-occupie-d, some o tha posts north of the stream which were abandoned during the volun tary evacuation of that zono. last week. The Ttlfflan offensivo was con ducted with the greatest fierce ness the tribesmen have yet shown. Abd-ct-Krim used Uiffian regulars, his best shock troops in the attacks, but the French de clare they vcre mowed down by machine gun firo nnd that their losses were extremely heavy. The ItiffianB used no artillery, but their forces were larger than In any previous operation of the campaign. The pitched battle lasted from daybreak to sunset yesterday, French reports said. Abd-cl-Krhn's "shock troops" got their first real taste of modern warfare In a etinging defeat in which the Uif f ians lost hundred of dead and many prisoners. The Itlffian war riors fought valiantly but were forced back by the French from all points north of the Ouergha river, which they had briefly oc cupied. The fierceness and stubbornness of Abd-el-Krim's attack waa inter preted by the French as mean ing his adherence to hla original Intention to reach Fez.

Tourist Loss Natural Police Here Reasonable Traffic Now Divided (Continued from page one) other cities bring denials of knowl edge of any discrimination against tho state capital. A summary of the traffic arrests records at police headquarters show that there Is no basis In fact for complaints that the officers here are unduly severe In enforce ment of the speed laws. Nine hundred and forty-eight arreats for speeding have been made here since January 1, 1924. SS3 during tho year 1924, and 390 alnce January 1 of this year. Of the 658 arresta last year 367 of the offenders were residents of Salem and other Oregon towns out aldo of Portland, 147 were from Portland .and only 44 were tour isU from outside the state. Arrests since January 1 show 232 offend ers from S;t I em and other Oregon towns, 127 from Portland and 31 tourists. The police records also reveal some other Interesting data. The average speed of the speeders In 1924 was 29 plus miles per hour.1 and proportionately more motorists, are in a hurry and In mora of a hurry this year than last. The av erage speeding rate for the first five months of the year has jump ed to 31 miles per hour. As to how reasonable the officers here are to enforcing the 20 -mile limit the records show the follow ing: During 1924 only 1 1 speeders were arrested for driving between 20 and 25 miles an hour, and all of these were arrested Inside the fire limits, where the speed max imum Is supposed to be IS miles an hour. Since January 1 there has not been one arrest for driv ing between 20 and 25 miles an hour. Last year 21S of those arrested were travelling from 30 to 35 miles an hour. This year those picked up for running In the same limits number 226. forty were arrested last year for driving through the city of from 35 to 65 miles an hour, and this year there have been 56 ar rests for speed rates ranging from 35 to 62 miles an hour. There are several reasonable ex planations for the decrease In tour 1st travel through Salem this year as compared to last season. Thore are not so many tourists travelling for ons thing. The completion of the paving of the West Side high way between Portland and Cor vallis has opened up a shorter and more direct route through the stato from north to south, and there Is less local traffic to con gest that highway than Is the case with tho east side route from Sa lem to Portland. Also, the paving on the west side Is In far bettor condition than that of the Pacific highway from Ore- City to Salem. Delays and inconvenience met by motorists In negotiating the fer ry at Unrrlsburg also Influence many to choose the clear and un hampered route aiding the west aide. It also must be remembered that with two routes now open, and with Salem on the longer and poor est paved one It Is not going to get the same percentage of tour ist travel that It has enjoyed In former years. There naturally wilt be a percentage who will fol low the more direct and better paved route, and the size of this percentage will depend largely up on the effort Salem makes to di vert traffic this way. Just now Salem Is doing little or nothing to build up Its tourist travel, and la relying principally upon Its be lng the state capital to attraot vis itors, while Eugene, Cor vail la and other towns are organizing motor association units, and are work ing aggressively through their chambers of commerce and other civic organizations, as well as through garages and service sta tions to Interest and attract tour ists. Business men and others who have been complaining of lMe that the severity of the Salem police In enforcing , traffio restrictions la driving tourist traffic away from the city will find, If they take the trouble to Inquire, that most of the complaint on this score comes from travelling salesmen and the like, who are habitual speeders. to regain brings joy to you nnd your friends.
