FRENCH PURSUING
RETREAT|NG RIFFS
ADD -eI-Krim Expected to
Mass Forces to Attack
on Two Wings.
By ,he Associated Press.

By ,he Associated Press.
FEZ. French Morocco, July 23.-
The Riffian tribesmen now are in full
retreat from Ouergh River northward,
closely pressed by a French detach-
ment with artillery along the right
bank of the stream.
This. together with other indications
gathered by the French intelligence
services. shows that the leader of the
rebellious tribesmen, Abd-el-Krim
has given up the idea of attacking on
the center and is reverting to the
plan of attacking on the wings, for
which he is massing his regular troops
in the regions of Ouezzan and Taxa.
Ouezzan is located about so miles
northwest Of Fez, headquarters of the
French in Morocco, and objective of
Abd-el-Krim; Taxa is about the same
distance to the east.
French Add to Forces.
Reinforcements for the French
army are reaching the zone in in
creasing numbers, and the French
command says it is in a position to
deal adequately with any offensive
which may be started by the tribes
men.
At any rate, the French are max
ing plans for their own offensive If
Abd-el-Krim does not come to terms
within a reasonable time
Local actions continue to be fought
at different points along the far-fiung
battle line, French headquarters re-
porting that these invariably turn to
the advantage of the French. The
vigorous tactics of the French army
are beginning to impress those tribes
which have been wavering between
the Sultan of Morocco and Abd-el.
Krim. notably in the Ouezzan region.
Nevertheless, the agents of Abd-el.
Krim are continuing to work upon
the tribes behind the line, which,
being out of sight of the actual fight
ing, are more easily won over.

REBEL SOUGHT PEACE.
Tells of Overtures to
Lyautey.

CAIRO, Egypt, July % Cp.-In an
open letter addressed to the French
Parliament and published in the
Egyptian newspaper AL SiaSSah here,
Add l-Krim, the Riffian rebel lead
er in Morocco, declares he has made
every effort within his power to reach
an understanding with Marshal
Lyautey, French governor general of
Morocco. Add -el-Krim said that in
1929 he told NJ. Painleve. the present
French premier, he desired friendly
relations with France and that he has
constantly attempted such relations.
The Riffian leader, whose followers
are now fighting the French and
Spanish in Morocco, explains that he
has no press" in which to present
his side of the case and therefore
sends his letter to a Cairo news
paper
He declares the Riffians have only
made just demands, but that Marshal
Lyautey has always refused to con-
slider them and that the marshal has
done everything possible to impair
Add el-Krim's honor and dignity.
Sought Boundary Farley.
Abd-el-Krim states he sought a
boundary conference with Marshal
Lyautey two years ago, but the mis-
sion failed and simultaneously French
troops advanced toward BENZ Zeroual.
I'VE did not interfere" the Riffian
leader says, until we saw the French
coming into our own country Then
we felt the time for friendly negotfa-
tions had passed.
For two years Marshal Lyautey
has encouraged the Moroccan tribes
to oppose my people. Yet we never
opened fire until the French artillery
had bombarded and their airplanes
had bombed our tribes 1t is
a disgrace that two great powers like
France and Spain should combine
against one small nation which is only
defending its rights"
The letter denies that any Euro
peans or bolshevists are participating
in Abd-el-Krim's campaign.
Lecointe Offers Services.
PARIS, July % CP-Sadi Lecointe,
French speed pilot, who for several
years held numerous world records,
has volunteered for service in Mo-
rocco against Abd-elKrim's Riffian
tribesmen.
other famous French civilian pilots
also are said to be ready to join up
if Lecointe's offer is accepted by the
ministry of war and the duration of
enlistment limited to the actual period
of fighting operations.

attention and started to drive away.
Miss Black said she climbed into the
car and told them she had a revol-
yer. threatening to damage their
automobile. The men drove out
New Jersey avenue where, they
told her. she said, that If she would
forget about the matter, they would
take her back.
Agreeing to the arrangement, she
testified, she was driven back into
town and hailed a policeman who
arrested Bromley and Blackman.
Then the policewoman could not
find the two witnesses to produce
in court. so the judge was forced to
dismiss the case on the ground that
the policewoman broke up the
party too soon.'

Beginning with Il general survey
of the subject, Mrs. A. G. Campbell.

to the Delphian club which met yes
terday. that King Lear, Shake
speare s master tragedy. fulfills in
every particular the requirements of
a perfectly constructed drama, pre-
pairing the members for the text
studies which followed.
Mrs. F.. y. Smith discussed the
sources of the play, bringing out
many interesting points as to where
the writer found his inspiration for
the marvellous tragedy.
The story OF the play, in its five
stages was briefly outlined by the
leader. Mrs. +. u. Jacobs following
with critical analysis of act
which would have done credit to a
professional student of Shakespeare.
The speaker read several passages
from the act most effectively and
introduced the main characters in
both the plot and the sub-plot.
Mrs. F. +. Anderson gave no
less interesting study of the sub
plot, making vivid its place in the
drama. and closing with character
stduies of Edgar, Edmund and Kent,
which inspired lively discussion,
disclosing wide differences of opin-
ION as TO the estimate which the
sneaker had made of these charac-
ters.
Mrs. 7. II. McIver ably discussed
the third act, giving concise
analysis Of the dramatic features of
the act, and showing that here the
events of the story reach their eli
max in the madness of Lear and
the binding of Gloster.
Mrs. j. Stewart Ross closed the
tcXtual study with talk on tho
fifth act as Il cOnSunmation Of thc
dramatic conflict, and a fitting end
to the tragedy.
The sympathetic and dramatic
character studies of Cordelia and
l,ear made fitting close to the
study Of the morning. Mrs. J. W.
Glassford presented Cordclia as ono
Of Shakespeare s best and most be
loved women characters. The
sketch was most sympatheticallv
given in Mrs. Glassford's s own force.
