MARSHAL PETAIN GLAD
HE is OUT OF MOROCCO
Believes Campaign Against Abd-el-
Krim Can Be FINISHED in
Short Order.
By the Associated Press

PARIS, December 19.-Marshal Pc
tain, who is thoroughly glad to be
back in Paris from Morocco, where he
found the heat and dust extremely
trying, believes that the campaign
against Abd-el-Krim can be finished
in short order at the beginning of
the next dry season. He has ex-
planned to his military friends that
the French and Spanish forces are so
disposed that they can cut Abd-el-
krim's territory in two in a short
campaign. and thus compel his sur
render. Add el-krim is described as
knowing this and as likely to seek
peace before it is forced upon him.
Unofficial observers from Morocco
hold different view. They state that
the Riffian leader has up to the pres
ent time lost very few of his men and
that considerable losses inflicted by
the French have been suffered by
tribes who revolted from the French
and Joined Abd-el.Krin. The terri
tory now held by French troops is
just about the same occupied by the
French before Abd-el-Krim attacked
them last Spring and captured most
of their advance posts, these observ-
ers point out.
