The tribesmen's losses were consid-
cradle, 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-
CHA Valley.
The moral effect of the French sue
cess was even greater than the ma
terial. Reports from native sources
indicate that 1t made a great impress
sion among the tribes, undermining
much that Abd-El-krim had accom-
plished by skillful propaganda.
Abd-El-krim morale was 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 men and
materials and intensifying his propa-
ganda.
The French are rapidly turning their
success to advantage by strengthen
ing their lines and preparing for
further clearing operations.
