KR|M GETTING FAT
AWAITING HIS EXILE
Riffian Chief Maintains Old
FataIistic Resignation.
J Will Glimpse Riviera.
by the Associated Press.


FEZ, Morocco, August 2e.-Abd-el-
Krin, the fallen Rif1ian chieftain, will
get a short glimpse of southern
France when he lands at Marseille.
September /. on his way to exile on
Reunion Island. The French govern
ment has chosen that isolated spot in
the Indian Ocean as the emir's flu
ture home instead of the enchanting
Riviera, which he himself would have
picked.
The emir is scheduled to sail from
Marseille accompanied only by his
immediate family and by the French
officer intrusted with the task Of es-
corting him to his exile.
Add el-krim has lived very simply
since his arrival here early in June,
but the idleness of his days has
caused him to take on weight. and
now he is really fat elderly gentle
man, instead of the lean desert hawk
he was when he challenged and
fought France and Spain in the desc
late wastes Of his own country.
The fallen chieftain appears to
have lost spirit and ambition. No
doubt he is a fatalist. for the sole
comment he ever makes on his bad
fortune, his defeat and his exile is,

Add -el-Krim's brother, Mohammed.
said by many to he much more the
fighting man of the two, does not
face captivity with the fatalism of his
brother. Mohammed complains bit
terly that he was betrayed by the
French. He said he never would
have surrendered if he had known
that he would be eXiled to a lonely
iSIa nd in the Indian Ocean.

Homesick Bridal Couple.

Alvin loved his mother. There was
no doubt about that He treated her
with gallantry that made her the
envy of every other mother in town
AS a growing, boy he had never for
gotten to take her to basket ball
games even If he took another gir
with them. And the girls didn't seem
to mind. Mrs. Rogers was such a
sweet, girlish woman who appeared
more like her sons sister than his
mother.
Then the day came when the othef
mothers remarked that some day
Alvin would be sorry he had spoiled
his mother like this. His attentions
to Mary Banks We're apparently seri'
Gus and on occasion he was seen Win
her without his mother.
This caused no anguish to the otler
mothers. They rather disilked the
idea that some one else's son was
more attentive than their own ana
thew professed to think that 1t was
scandaIous of a grown woman 10 De
eternally at her sons heels.
The day Alvin told his mother that
he wanted to marry Mary Mrs.
Rogers did not weep or demonstrate
about his youth She kissed him ana
told him she thought it would be
good idea.
And you'll live with us said Al
vim quickly.
"Certainlv. if that is what you
want Or you can live with me- dear.
Either way. It's all right with me.
Alvin's father had been dead for
10 years. Mrs. Rogers had come 10
look upon her son almost as head OF
the house. Possibly one reason they
lived in such harmony was that she
did not endeavOr to advise him. IN
stead she depended upon his judg-
ment.
Mrs. Rogers went to call upon
Mary. They had always been friend
ly and Mary lifted her face for the
kiss of felicitation.
And you don't mind giving Alvin
to me-" said Mary wonderingly. Il
thought you'd be all upset, Mrs.
Rogers? After having him at home
all these years-well. it is hard, but
maybe you'd he less lonely if you
took a roomer."
Mrs Rogers did not change color
although her heart beat rather
swiftly. II may do that" she agreed.
"At any rate you mustn't give 1t a
thought. Young people have right
to their own plans
Mary looked at her unbelievingly.
"Do you know of any house, Mrs.
Rogers? Anything Alvin can at
ford?"
Just for moment his mother hest
tated. Il know of one, dear. Mine.
I came over. to see if you could be
happy in a place not quite modern.

recorded that she listened to the
girls answer Intentionally.
"Alvin, / never understood how

Mrs. Rogers saw her sons arm
move slightly and she knew he was
taking Mary's hand. She didn't for
a moment think it was silly. She re-
membered how his father had done
exactly the same thing and how
happy he had always made her with
sudden little demonstrations of
tenderness.

Chamberlain Reveals Nature of

LONDON, June 15.--s'ir Austen
Chamberlain. secretary for foreign af
fairs, Yesterday gave the first official
account OF the British action toward
Russia growing out of the dispatch
OF Russian funds to support the re.
cent general strike in Great Britain.
His explanation confirmed what has
been a growing belief that the original

We're exaggerated.
The rather mild form Of protest
which the foreign secretary admitted
having made In his note to Russia
did no. accuse the Soviet government
itself Of providing the money. bu,
only complained Of relaxation In favor
Of the British strikers of the Russian
law against the export Of money
Moreover, it is understood the govern
: ment hardly expects Russia to reply
, to its protest
1t Is believed the real intention of
the British note was, first, to please
the strongly antiRussian section OF
the governments supporters in the
press and Parliament. and. second, in
the hope that such a protest might
deter the Russians from sending
additional funds. For although the
amount Of money the Russians for,
warded to England would not give
each Of the strikers more than a few
shillings. and thus could not do much
to prolong the strike, yet the moral
effect Of money from abroad was tc
